Chowning Research

This is a copy of some information from my Aunt Michelle Tiner that covers some basic history of the Chowning Meins.
The information was given to me in April of 2007.
 

I have a whole book on the Chowning / Meins family from your cousin Bob Chowning. Their family has been working on it for years.  They have a lot of interesting info on the net about the beginning of the Chowning KC transit lines their struggle with the city over the years to keep the line going. The city did not want competition.  They started out driving a Jitney and Grandpa Chowning was picking up passengers at the union station during the "bloody massacre", I believe it was called, when law enforcement were attempting to take a mafia boss into custody.  When the shooting started he ducked down and the window was blown out of his car.  Driving a Jitney was illegal because the city wanted no competition, what a rebel.   Your great great grandfather had a black smith shop downtown in the late 1800s. His wife left him because he was a drinker and a little violent.  She was granted a divorce in 1903 very rare for Victorian times a divorced woman so rare, she married a man from California.  Great Grandpa was the only Chowning child. Uncle Willard was shot in a fox hole in ww2 by his friend who was shot and then his gun went off . Uncle Dudley as we called him was badly wounded, he had a large hole in his side, he let me look at the spot when I was little. He was found later, barely clinging to life and the story is his metal cover bible issued to soldiers kept the bullets from entering his heart.  The Chowning's still have the dented bible.

One of the old buses from the Chowning KC Transit Line was featured on a Hallmark Christmas card a few years back and was on a PBS Kansas City program.

Tiner / Hale Research

This is a copy of two emails from my Aunt Michelle Tiner that is correspondence between her and Mary Hale in San Diego, California.
The forwarded information was given to me in April of 2007.

My great great great grandfather
 

The Tiner’s are related on my maternal grandfather’s side.  My grandfather, Wilburn Franklin Hale had a sister Mattie Lee Hale who married Wilson Grimes, their wedding photo below.  They had a daughter named Virgie and this is the decendancy as I have it and verified by Jewell Grimes, Virgie’s sister in 1988.  I had a phone interview with Jewell around this time.  I also talked to one of the sons that was alive at that time, I think it was Guy or Odus.  Mattie was a much loved and respected sister of my grandfather and my grandmother (her sister-in-law) thought the world of her.  Mattie and Wilson visited us in San Diego in the 50’s.  I am on a hunt for the pictures I have of your family and will get back to you.  I think my brother has them.  Where in San Diego does your nephew live?  I will send another email with a relationship chart that is a visual on how to determine the cousin links.  Good to hear from you and I will get back to you later today.  I am working on my taxes at the moment.  Take care,  Mary Neal

MACKEY / BARTON / SHALINE RESEARCH:

In research of the surname Shaline I found this:
 

SHALINE

My Grand father was a butcher and in his later years operated a market in the outskirts of St. Joseph in Buchanan County. Born in southwest Iowa to David Shaline and Anna Harlan. His first name as far as I can figure was Ed or more likely Eddy. He had a brother Arch and they were born in the 1880s. My dad's name was William E. Shaline born in 1910.

  After speaking with my Grandma, Patricia Mackey she told me that my Grandpa Stambaugh was adopted. She said she used to talk with his uncle which she wasn't aware was from another family, his name is Archie Shaline. My Grandma also told me that my Grandpa Stambaugh's birth mother was named Anna. Further information Patricia Mackey revealed was that the majority of the Shaline family relations are known to reside in Saint Joseph, Missouri / St. Joseph, Missouri which my research shows a strong confirmation. My Great Grandma Kathryn Barton when married to John Stambaugh had their marriage certificate signed by Anna Shaline. I will try to get a scan and more detailed information including dates in the future.

Full name is: John Edward Stambaugh whom married Kathryn L. Barton. They divorced when Patricia Mackey (maiden Stambaugh) was 12 years old and Kathryn later married Raymond Barton.
