From a newspaper article in the Sacramento (California) Bee, Thursday, April 23,1992.

Your editor won't quote exactly because of copyright infringement, but she will quote the sentient points. It mentions a book entitled "50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save Your Life". It fails to name the author and publisher but what it says is very important when one is planning one's life, especially if one is a genealogist, amateur or professional. DISCOVER YOUR MEDICAL ROOTS. It's crucial to know about the health of your family, your brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents and great-grandparents. Cancer, for example, is one medical history you must learn from your ancestors. Another is heart disease. Experts in the field estimate that about 4,000 of the known 10,000 diseases have genetic roots...like stroke, diabetes, and cancers such as ovarian, breast, prostate, colon, Uterine, skin, kidney and pancreatic. Environmental and such factors as defective genes..diet, smoking, and lack of exercise are other factors. If you know your medical roots it could be a powerful incentive for modifying your lifestyle and getting periodic tests from your doctor. While you are doing your genealogical research ask about this question and collect as much medical information as you can, along with dates, places and names.

In bookstores and libraries you will find such resources. Bantam Book has published "If It Runs In Your Family". Each volume explains one family disease and how to reduce your risks. Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc, has "Family Diseases: Are You At Risk?" by Myra Vanderpool Gormly. It's an excellent summary of the entire topic.

"A. DUDLEY RAWLINS, a pioneer citizen of Linn County, Missouri, died at his home in the southeast part of town Monday morning at 10:40 a.m.

He was born in Clark Co., KY Jan. 4, 1811, and was therefore 88 years 7 months and 10 days old. In 1818 he was brought to Missouri, settling with his parents in Howard County. He moved to Linn County in 1837 and to Linneus in 1846, where he remained till his death. He occupied his time as a merchant and farmer. Of later years he had retired on a small farm at the southeastern edge of town and devoted his attention largely to lending money.

He was an honest, industrious man who treated all with fairness, and who had many
