Margaret’s parents were William H. McBride and Aurelia Lydia Fisher, also buried in Sterling. I also was able to find their obituaries too. I noted that a number of 1861-1865 War vets are buried in Sterling. William too was a vet, serving in the 76th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was a member of the Kansas State Legislature in 1885-1886, practiced law in Kansas, was a newspaper editor and served as the mayor of Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
My parents, William McBride Shay, Jr. and Loretta Goodfellow grew up in Lyons, KS.
