Dr. Martin Schofield. I know he died during the war, presumably away from home in Missouri as
there aren't records I can find of him buried near Marion county. I wish I knew when, where, how
he died. If you ever see him, let me know.

Searching for my 2nd Great-Grandfather, Samuel C. Farmer (at times went by S.C. Farmer)
from the Atlanta area of Macon County, MO.
I’ve a written statement from his son that Samuel “Was Killed During the War” but no other details.
The Family seems to have been split between North and South; Sam’s brother Nathan J. Farmer
served in the EMM and then towards the end of the war the 42nd MO. Vol. Infantry.
I’ve exhausted all the sources I know about, including the Newspaper Archive at the Univ. of
Missouri. Any help would be appreciated.
