Subject: Sulphur Springs, KS
It is near a town called Aurora not far from Concordia in Cloud
county.The history of the area mentioned three small towns vieing to
be the main town in the 1870's.When the railroad decided to run
through Aurora then Sulphr Springs and the other town dried up.
Aurora in fact only has about 80 people living in it.

Richard, I have a picture of Delilah (Williamson) Pearson's
(6/29/1825 - 12/5/1912) headstone on my family website at
"Myfamily.com". You can download it and add it to your site if you
wish or I can e-mail it. Also Michael C Pearson, her son, died
1/16//1930 in Myrtle Idaho. I have his obit(2) and funeral records as
documentation. Delilah gave 1 acre of her land in Sulphur Springs to
the local city to start the cemetery. Michael and a few others started
the Cemetery Corporation to run it. His gravesite in Sulphur Springs
KS, next to his mother's, is vacant as he moved to Idaho in 1890 after
the death of his wife Anna (Turner) Pearson who is buried in her plot
next to Delilah. Delilah's headstone also shows a "Ota" Pearson. After
painstaking research I figured out Ota was Michael and Anna's Lena
Leota who married Charles Maze.
