Hello,
I am looking for the
Heck family that lived in
Fort Scott,
Kansas around 1894 who adopted the children of
Chauncey Monroe Messenger and
Hester Elena
Palmer.
Her name was Alice Mae
Messenger born May 10, 1889 and also temporary cared for her youngest Brother John Henry
Messenger born June 11, 1893.
The children mother died at Clarksburg, KS
December 20, 1894, the youngest child was John Henry of 6 months.
