from Jane Rohrer, descendant: Jon, We found James' gravestone in Roller cemetery, which is located beside Highway 90 between Powell MO and Washburn, MO. (that was several years ago. The stone is very hard to read now) He and his family moved to the area that is now Powell, in McDonald County. They had relocated there in 1871 and started a small store with a post office in it. He was post master until his death, and Eliza took the store and post office over. The 1880 census shows her and all the daughters in McDonald County.

James Edward Yonce was the son of Peter Yonce and Allie Brown, born in Wythe Co., VA on 04 Jun 1828. His Yonce family had come to Wythe County in the late 1790s from Pennsylvania. He was the 3rd of 13 children. James married Eliza Phillips, daughter of George Phillips and Malinda Nye Umberger in 1852 and struck out for Iowa, where they farmed for about 14 years, the latter 8 in Chicksaw County. About 1867. James returned to Virginia, perhaps to see his aging mother and then went west again Settling in southwest Missouri. He died about a year later leaving his widow Eliza with 8 daughters.
