Death Certificates		Death Certificate of Day, Sanders Perfect 20 Jan 1846 - 17 Mar 1933. He was my great great grandfather.

Notes	Pat McAlister notes: The stone says 1845 - 1933 - but, there are two death certificates, one signed by Mrs. Rufus Wilks, looks like her handwriting, at least it is poorly written. The second one has the same info, signed by R. S. Simco. He was the doctor -same age as S.P. Old Doc Simco is what I heard all my life. . He is written up in the Callaway County book -or Pioneer Families of Missouri. The dates on the certificate are different than the stone. Don't know who did the stone, which is an obelisk, rather like the Washington Monument, but only about 8 feet tall. It has writing on three sides. His brother, Truman (Bud) and his wife, Clara Polacek Day are buried on one side. On another side are two more and on the other someone with S.P. The certificates do not state manner of death .They state that S.P.'s father is Truman Day, born in KY and his mother was born in Scotland. However, death certificate for brother, Truman (Bud) says he doesn't know and sister, Margaret Elizabeth Day Stringer says that mother is Eliza Clendenen and she was born in Ohio. In 1900 and 1910 censuses, S.P. and wife, Margaret are living in Wyandotte Co, KS- can't read the TWP-Quinda[ro] No one there could tell me either. Found the marriage license in county courthouse. They were married in 1890 - she died in 1914. S.P. Day, 44 and Maggie E. Crooks, 45, June 18th, 1890 in Wyandotte County, KS by Justice of Peace, J.M. Gray -bought on the 14th -returned on 23rd. Can't read. 1920 - he was on the census with Aunt Mag and Abbie Day in Aunt Mag's house. He is 75, she is 54. Says their father was born in KY and mother in Ohio Uncle Lowell said that he thought he was about 12 when S.P. came to live with them, that he sort of moved around. Lowell was born in 1909. Lowell said that "Grandpa Day was quite a guy - mild compared to his brothers." - said "he grew up with those kids"-(S.P.'s nieces and nephews I suppose). Lowell said that one of the brothers lived with Aunt Mag for a while-"hiding out from the law"- Lowell didn't remember what he had done - but he kept a gun there. S.P. and Maggie Crooks, widow with son, Charles, must have known each other for 15 years before marrying, unless they lived together, unmarried. Charles Crooks (Uncle Charlie) was a surgeon and Presbyterian Minister - missionary to Siam. Spent most of his life in Siam - established a hospital - Lowell said 30 or 40 years. Lowell said that Permelia Frances Overton's parents did not want her to marry S.P. He was a bit of a rogue and they were prominent. S.P. had a long white beard and was blind in old age.
