My ancestors and family are mainly to be found in Phelps, Dent, and St. Francois Counties of Missouri. Much of the Malone genealogical information on these memorials, and a considerable number of the photographs, comes from the hard work and dedication of my cousin Willis D. Stagner.

My memorials for the Beer family are the ancestors and relatives of my wife.

There was something of a family issue as to if the name was spelled "Malone" or "Melone". My entries use both, as the individuals preferred.
