RE: ADAMSON burial at Bethany Cemetery, Lincoln County, KS

In August of 1982, I came across the burial markers for WILLIE ADAMSON,
DECEMBER 1880, DECEMBER 1880 and LILLY ADAMSON, DECEMBER 1880, DECEMBER
1880 at the Bethany Cemetery, Lincoln County, Kansas. The purpose of
this document is to clarify the actual dates and the identity of these
two individuals.

I have been researching the ADAMSON Lineage since 1982 and provide the
following information:

* Because of the burials to be either in or very near the KANZIUS plot,
I believe them to be the children of James Thomas ADAMSON and Lydia
Hulda KANZIUS.

* An interview with MS Pearl ADAMSON HALL at Cortez Colorado in 1984,
confirmed that she was the younger sister of the twin children that died
very young in Lincoln County, Kansas.

* According to Ms Hall, The Family Bible of her Mother, Lydia KANZIUS
Adamson indicated the births to be on December 2, 1903 and that Lillie
died on December 5 and Willie died on December 23, both in year 1903 as
infants.

* At a Adamson Family Reunion in Colorado in 1989, I meet many
descendants of James T. ADAMSON and Lydia KANZIUS and it was widely
known and accepted fact of the births and deaths of these individuals
but they were not aware of the mis-markings of the grave markers.

* I had been to the Cemetery on previous occasions but never saw these
markers until 1982. I believe the grave markers to have been placed as
part of the Bicentennial and the records of burial to have been
mis-interrupted.

* Attached is a complete Lineage that I have compiled and hopefully
this information will clarify and or assist in the future.
