Hi! My name is Kris and I’m the county coordinator for the Saline County project. Please don’t hestiate to contact me if you have any questions or want to submit your work. Many, many thanks to Betty Brooks, C. J. Ellis, and the other previous county coordinators for all of the effort they have put into this site over the years.
Saline County was organized November 25, 1820, (effective January 1, 1821) from Cooper County and named for its numerous salt springs. Bordered on the north by the Missouri River, Saline County was considered to be part of “Little Dixie” in the antebellum years.
I do not live in Saline County and cannot help you with personal research requests.
Please NOTE: The site is undergoing a major overhaul, which will take some time. In the meantime, you can access all of the information that was available up to June 2008 at the archived site, which is located on the Rootsweb server.

Photographs ¤
Laura submitted these photos of the Marshall First Baptist Church. She remarked that while some of the faces are quite clear, there were no names noted on the back of the photographs. Her best guess is that the pictures were taken in the 1940s.

Laura has sent in this class photo and has identified two of the children. In the second row back on the far left is Catherine Pannell, and on the far right is John “Shorty” Lyddon. Judging from Catherine’s age, the photo was taken in 1922 or 1923.
