around 1910, then moved back to the Salem area, where he lived out his life.
My best guess is that he died in the late 1940s or early 1950s He is buried

I am looking for the farm my mother and family lived on
when she was 4-8 years old. The farm bordered the John Wesley Allan Pace
farm. One of her older sisters Iva Ruth McCann married Willis Earl Pace.
I know that she went to the Methvam School and have a picture of the school with
her standing in front in 1969 before it burned down. I found a piece of
paper with this written in her hand. Missouri--East of town. about 3
miles. Young School-moved to Addleman place Metham School. I wonder if Addleman
place is the name of the farm that they lived on. The family at that time
was John H. McCann, Amanda, Iva Ruth, Lillian, Lawrence, Evelyn, and Vernon.
John died at Flat River while working at the Lead Mine. He had gone there
with a Willis Pace but he was not his son-in-law. I have a picture of him
and two other men, one of which is a Willis Pace. John Westley Allan Pace and
others of this family are buried at Warden Cemetery, Methven School District.
John H. McCann in the winters would weave oak striped clothes baskets to sell.
He striped the wood himself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Surname: Pinto
Posted: January 13, 2002
I am curious about the Pinto-Watson Cemetery.
Located on the Meramec River [Martin Hart Farm]. The names of the Pintos and the
dates are interesting to me. Is there anyone working to index this cemetery?
My G.Grandfather ran away from his home
[age 14] in 1874and went directly to Missouri. We don't know why he went
there. He then joined up with some cattle drovers and came on to Texas.
I suspect he may of have had some relatives in Mo. ,but can not verify it. He
was from Pennsylvania.
I would appreciate any info. regarding this
Cemetery or the Pinto name in Missouri.
