History ~ Maps ~ Biographies and Pioneers ~ Lookups and Queries ~ What's New Warren County was organized January 5,1833, from Montgomery County and named for Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War general. Brief History of Warren County [From old Warren County Pages] Cities, Villages and Communities  Books, Directories, Journals ~ Biographies ~ Pioneers "Journal of the Missouri State Medical Association" by: Missouri State Medical Association Issues: January 1904 - December 2000 [Archived] Link to all of the Issues In an effort to make this interesting set of Medical Journals available for Missouri Genealogical and Historical Researchers, I am trying to figure out how the Content is structured and what might be the best way of presentation. There are 97 issues on the Archive.org Site. All of which can be viewed, searched and downloaded. Volumes 1-49 (June 1904-1952) of the Journal of the Missouri State Medical Association and 50-97 (1953-2000) of Missouri Medicine are available online. The best way to inspect the Content is to take a look at an Index. Here are the Index pages for the 1904 Issue: https://archive.org/details/journal1190miss/page/718/mode/2up Genealogocal Research always includes the search for both Biographies and Obituaries. Fortunately for us, these Journals have both! But... over the years, the Editors change the way they are listed. The first 5 or 6 years have Obituaries listed on Page Numbers, no names in the Index. About 1908 or 1909, They began listing Obits by Name in the Index, Like This: https://archive.org/details/journal6190miss/page/827/mode/1up A generic Search: 'Obituary' will bring up Items https://ia903108.us.archive.org/17/items/journal1719miss/journal1719miss.pdf A generic Search: 'Deceased' will bring up Items https://ia903108.us.archive.org/17/items/journal1719miss/journal1719miss.pdf Individual Searches for Names will always work. "Jones", for Instance [Without the Quotes https://ia903108.us.archive.org/17/items/journal1719miss/journal1719miss.pdf In the later years, the Medical Journals did not contain many full Obituaries, instead they included what I call "Embellished Death Notices" under the heading "In Memoriam": Like This Barbara Spies, MD, 73, Louisburg, KS, died November 9,1996. Dr. Spies graduated from the University of Kansas Medical School in 1952, interned at Menorah Hospital, practiced in Kansas. From 1978 until she retired in June of 1987, she practiced in Louisburg. January 1997 Issue The Missouri Journals also have Membership Information, County Rosters, Changes of Address and "News Items" which are always interesting. Using the Tutorial I have written will give you an idea on how to use the valuable files on the Archive Site. "History of St Charles, Montgomery and Warren Counties, Missouri...
