Alice Jane PRESLEY (1869-1900), daughter of John Crawford PRESLEY and Martha Jane ELLIS, was my great-grandmother. She married George Washington RENNEKER (1866-1893) on 12 Feb 1988 in Brandon Co, MO. Her husband died 1 May 1893 when a train on which he was a passenger plunged through a bridge, and she died on 7 or 8 January 1900. They are both buried in Shiloh Cemetery in Thayer, Oregon Co, Missouri. (This info from a book on the Renneker family by T.D. Boaz, Jr.)

They had three children:

1. Homer Clarence RENNEKER (23 Nov 1888 - 24 Jan 1901)
. .Buried in Shiloh Cemetery, Thayer Co., Missouri

2. Carl Eugene RENNEKER (7 Sep 1890 - 8 Jan 1919)
. . Died in Baker (aka Baker City), Baker County, Oregon
. . My dad believes he died of the Spanish influenza

3. Edna Mabel RENNEKER (30 Oct 1892 - 9 Mar 1978)
. . She was known by her middle name, Mabel, and married my grandfather, James Claude Green (known as Claude) (10 Sep 1888 - 18 Jul 1874). Both died in Baker, Oregon, and are buried there in the Mt. Hope Cemetery.

I would be glad to share additional information about our families. And of course I also have some questions.
