The Alford American Family Association (AAFA) held its 2005 Annual Meeting in St. Louis,
MO. We made a special effort to obtain obituaries of all “Alfords” who died in that state,
published them, and distributed the publication at the meeting.
We continue to obtain obituaries for “Alfords” who died in Missouri. This compilation
includes all Missouri obituaries we have obtained to date. It will be updated periodically
as we acquire new obituaries.
Obituaries are listed alphabetically by FIRST name. Included are people whose last name,
maiden name, or married name is Alford or a spelling variation: Alfred, Alvord, Allford,
Halford, Hallford, Holford, etc.
The name of the newspaper (or other source) and place and date of publication follow the
name of the deceased. If we included the obituary in AAFA ACTION, the issue is noted.
AAFA often adds notes to each obituary, including Social Security Death Index (SSDI) data,
relationship of the deceased to other Alfords, and lineages. We will add to
AAFA NOTES as time permits.
Where lineages are included (Alford unless otherwise stated), the format is: Name, year of
birth, state or country of birth.
Obituaries of AAFA members and their spouses are also included on the
AAFA Member Memorials web page
and may include more information.
We welcome corrections and additional information. If you have an obituary from this state
that is not included here, please share it with us!

ALMIRA H. PARKS HALLFORD
Source unknown

From Henry
County Missouri Obituaries
Published in AAFA ACTION, Summer 2005
Mrs. Hallfords’s maiden name was Almira Parks.
She was born June 7, 1856. Was married to P.W. Hallford, December 24, 1874;
died April 27, 1928, after several months of intense suffering, with a
complication of diseases. Everything that loving hands could do was done, but
to no avail.
She was a member of the Christian Church. She
often expressed herself as being ready to go. She would often say, “If Pete
could only go with me, it would not be so hard to go.” Fifty-four years they were
affectionate companions, sharing each other’s sorrows and troubles. Mrs.
Hallford was a good neighbor and often expressed herself by saying she loved
everybody.
She leaves one sister, Mrs. Lizzie King, near
Coal, and a host of relatives who mourn the loss of Aunt Allie. All loved and
respected her, and did many little deeds of kindness while she was sick, and in
fact, when she was well they did many things for her which she always
appreciated, but her sufferings are over now. Rev. Lindsey made a short talk at
the home on account of Mr. Hallford not being able to go to the church and then
made a talk at Good Hope Church to a large congregation of sorrowing relatives
and friends, after which her body was laid to rest in Good Hope Cemetery
nearby.

We included the obituaries of his brother James
Thomas Alford in Arkansas Obituaries; and his brother Patrick F. Alford in
Michigan Obituaries.
On the 1920 census Burley is found in the family
of James and Annie (Wicker) Alford at 811 Lilly in Blytheville, Mississippi
Co., AR. At that time, he only had a sister named Lela who was born in 1918.
She must be the one who predeceased him as she is not named as living in the
obituary.
On James Alford’s WWI Draft Registration Card,
he is living in Blytheville, Mississippi Co., AR, born 11 Feb 1893 in
Blytheville, with a wife and child.
James is not found in the Mississippi Co. AR
census of 1910, but his brother Hardin (born 1902 and living with James and
Annie in 1920) is living with their sister Kate who was married to James Garner
in 1906, all in Blytheville in 1910.
In the 1900 Mississippi Co. AR census, it is
seen that these are all children of Pink L. Alford and wife Alice M. _____.
Pink L. (born 1866–1869 TN) may be identical to Leroy Alford, son of William
Wilson Alford and Aseneth “Cena” Stuckey, who married in Lauderdale Co. TN,
June 23, 1854. William was a son of Burtis Alford, who in the 1850 census of
Lauderdale Co. TN, said he was born 1782 in GA. He must be the same Burtis who
married Mary Boon in Greene Co. GA in 1801 and then Mary Bryant in 1807 in

Ozark County Man Dies of Injuries Received in Wreck
Frank Halford, 35 years old, a farmer of Udall,
Ozark County, was fatally injured yesterday when a Buick touring car used for
carrying mail between West Plains and Gainesville turned over a few miles east
of the North Fork bridge, twenty-five miles east of West Plains.
Sam Dean of Udall also was a passenger in the
car, but sustained only slight injuries.
Halford and Dean got in the car at Uptonville at
the river to ride to Gainesville. The Buick is used to carry extra mail and
also to carry passengers. When the Gainesville mail left West Plains yesterday,
both the large mail truck and the Buick car were heavily loaded with mail bags,
and Halford and Dean were in the front seat with the driver, Jim Stephens when
the accident occurred. Stephens, who is the son of Lyman Stephens, the mail
carrier, was uninjured.
When young Stephens attempted to pass another
car on the road something went wrong with the steering gear of his car and the
car headed for the ditch. In his efforts to keep from going into the ditch the
driver turned the car over.
Halford’s skull was crushed, and he died an hour
or so later, after he had been taken to Gainesville. Stephens was not injured.
Halford was known to many persons in West
Plains, especially among the local anglers, for whom he had acted as boatman
many times when they were camping and fishing on the river near Uptonville.

SPRINGFIELD NEWS-LEADER
Springfield, Greene Co., MO—Sunday, 30 July 1995
Published in AAFA ACTION, Summer 1997
Isabel Ingalsbe, 88, Springfield, passed away at
7:50 p.m. Thursday, July 27, 1995, in St. John’s Regional Health Center. Isabel
was born Oct. 7, 1906 in Indian Territory in what is now Newkirk OK, the
daughter of William W. and Lena Fitzpatrick Alford. She attended schools there
and married Lawson S. Ingalsbe in 1933. He preceded her in death in 1971. She
was a homemaker and mother and was very involved in her family’s life and
welfare. She was a member and past president of PTA, Ozark Grandmother’s Club,
Jenny Lind Residents’ Association and VFW Auxiliary and a member of South
Street Christian Church and CWF.
She is survived by two sons and their wives,
Donald L. and Lou Ingalsbe and Dwight and Linda Ingalsbe; a daughter and her
husband, Mary and Dennis Gilbert; a stepson and his wife, Paul W. and Billie
Ingalsbe; a step-daughter and her husband, Betty and R.W. Reler, all of
Springfield; five grandchildren, Donna Louise James and her husband, Robert;
Marilyn Ann Mercer and her husband, Matthew; Curtis Gilbert; Susan Billingsley
and her husband, Steve, all of Springfield, and Kara Schmidt and her husband,
Brian, Plano TX; 13 step-grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. In

direction of Gorman-Scharpf Brentwood Chapel….
AAFA NOTES: SSDI
records confirm the birth and death dates of Isabel Ingalsbe (SS# issued in
MO), last residence Springfield, Greene Co., MO.
See the obituary of Isabel’s mother, Lena M.
Fitzpatrick Van Cleve Alford, in this compilation.
Isabel’s father, William Walter Alford,
evidently homesteaded in OK and married Nellie ___, his first wife. Two sons,
Earl D. (1889–1945) and Freddie Ray (1892–1982) were born before Nellie’s death
in 1903. William then married Mrs. Lena Fitzpatrick Van Cleve, a widow with a
daughter, Ruth Van Cleve Weddle (1899–1968). He and Lena had Mary Isabel in
1906—she seems to have always been known as Isabel.
Isabel’s first husband was Everett G. Woods.
Their marriage license, issued on 21 Sept 1930 in Newkirk, Kay Co., OK, lists
him as age 29, born in and a resident of Butte, MT, father R.G. Wood Sr. In all
other places on the license, the last name is Woods. It lists her as Mary
Isabel Alford, age 23, born in OK and a resident of Newkirk, OK, father W.W.
Alford. Witnesses were F. Ray Alfred [sic] of Arkansas City, KS, and
Dewey Weddle of Newkirk, OK.
The obituary is incorrect in that she was
preceded in death by two stepbrothers and one stepsister, not the reverse.

James Edmund Alford was the son of Edward Ira
Alford and Susan Ivye of Freestone Co., TX. He was born Aug. 28, 1878 and

He was enumerated with Laura in 1910 Greene Co.,

widow of Edwin Loran White. So far he has not been found in the 1920 MO census
although he does appear in the 1920 Greene County Telephone Directory at the
address mentioned by the funeral home. The phone book listed him as James Edw.
in 1917, but his age of 31 in 1910 fits well with the birth date of 1868 which is
that of James Edmund.
In 1930 they are in Madison, Polk Co., MO: James
b. TX, Ida, their twin sons Gerald and Harold, and niece Roberta Hotelling age
10. Roberta may be the “daughter” named in the obituary.
