I am seeking information on an Andrew J. Rusow, 26, who appears on the 1880 census with a wife Rachel,22, and a son William 3. Per the 1880 census, they live in Precinct 4 ... does anyone know what town that might be? Andrew Rusow's occupation was listed as "chopping rr ties". Would anyone know what railroad that might be? Any help is appreciated. -- Helen Graves

HErvey M. Bosley was born abt 1842 in Fayette Co. Penn. the son of Greenberry Bosley and Huldah Springer Morris. He apparently married Mary E. Griffin about 1867 in Putnam Co., Illinois. HErvey M. Bosley may well be the HArvey M. Bosley who served in the Civil War in Illinois Co. H & K. I was told he was in Douglas Co, Colorado in 1872. He may have died before the 1880 census as I cannot find him. Looking for death date and location and names of children, if any. Thank you, Kathleen Rizer
