Records of the Andover Missouri
Branch
Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints
A good number of former Kewanee IL RLDS Branch members
relocated to the areas surrounding Lamoni, Iowa, including the area of Andover, Missouri. During her search
for Kewanee roots, Madelyn
Edwards
delved into the records of the Andover Missouri Branch and turned up
a treasure trove of former Kewanee residents and members. Spelling has not been corrected and is listed as
was in the original record.
Names known to be misspelled include Sneathen and Tharp (listed as
Thorp)
