John Q. Sterling family, Franklin & Phelps Cos.,MO 1840-1940

I'm looking for information on John Sterling of Phelps County. His son Forest (Forrest) married Mamie Hutchison on April 20, 1910 in Springfield, Missouri. Their first of three children, Marvin Sterling, was born January 3, 1912 in Newburg, MO., and is my husband's father. Mamie divorced Forest in May 1917. Forest served in WWI. I know little of the family except that there is mention of a sister "Stella" who was a member of the Eastern Star with Mamie and "folks" living in St.Louis. Forest's mother may have died in 1944 or 45. There is a J.Q. Sterling (b.Oct 1840) listed in the 1900 Census, Phelps County, Arlington Township, Newburg Village with wife M.J. (B.Dec 1846), daughter M. (b Dec 1885) and son F. (b Aug 1887). I have photographs of John and Forest.
