CAPPS FAMILY:
|
The Capps family are in my opinion in the same mold as the Brumleys & Fergusons. They were military figures who put it all on the line during the Civil War, BUT were able to put differences aside when the War ended and work for the good of the community and the County. 1850 census: Silas Capps married Julia Ann Brumley, 4/1/1838.

Even if you are not a Capps go to the Capps Cemetery just for the view. It is just a small cemetery but it is on a high hill over-looking the Osage River & Capps Landing. What an awesome sight. I don't think problems can enter your mind when you're looking at such a painting done by God. DeVere |
