Colby, 81, geographer and director of Mississippi Valley Investigations at Southern Illinois University, died Friday in La Crosse, Wis., of an apparent heart attack. SIU President Delyte W. Morris Called Mr. Colby, the "dean of American geographers." "It was his wealth of knowledge couple with vision and enthusiasm that enabled him to contribute so effectively to the Mississippi Valley Investigations the project he had directed in recent years and in which he was engaged at La Crosse at the time of his death," Morris said. Mr. Colby was one of the first visiting emeritus professors to come to SIU when he joined the geography department staff in 1951. Mr. Colby's studies of the area resulted in a book, "A Pilot Study of Southern Illinois," published at SIU in 1956. He just completed another book entitled, "The Atlantic Arena," which will be published by the SIU Press this fall.

Mr. Colby served as a land planning consultant for the Tennessee Valley Authority from 1934 to 1938. From 1938 to 1942 he was a member of the Land Commission, Natural Resources Planning Board. In 1939 he served as chairman of the sub-committee on Land Classification and in 1939, as a member of the sub-committee on Regional Approach to Employment Stabilization. Mr. Colby was a consultant to headquarters for a commission delegated to select the site for the United Nations building in 1946. A graduated of Michigan State Normal College in 1908, he received an honorary master of education degree from that college in 1922. He received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Chicago in 1909 and doctor of philosophy degree in 1917. In 1956, SIU awarded Mr. Colby an honorary doctor of science degree. He was born in Romeo, Mich., April 13, 1884, the son of Frank and Anna Colby. Mr. Colby who lived at 313 S. University Ave., leaves his wife Mary, and two sons, Stephen and Bruce.

I recommend checking with the local Historical Society. Some keep a collection of Colby memorabilia where the roots run deep. There were 26 different Amos Colby's. If you could identify which particular Amos that you have the photo of through these resources, they may be able to connect you with the closest living relative, to be able to return the photo to its rightful place.

Good recommendation Jeanne. This brings up something that all family historians should consider. All of us diligently enter family history into paper and electronic form, however, what becomes of all of that hard work and documentation we have done  regarding our ancestors? I think that it is important to at least while we still have our mental faculties or are still here on earth to leave instructions with family members of what to do with all of the information. A good idea is to consider donating a copy of the family history to a local genealogy library. Share your compiled genealogy with other family members. If you publish your genealogy, donate a copy to your local library and be sure to send one to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library/article.aspx?article=3671 Bob Colby --- On Tue, 9/16/08, Jeanne bailey <jbailey@cpmproperties.net> wrote: From: Jeanne bailey <jbailey@cpmproperties.net> Subject: Re: [COLBY] Amos Colby To: colby@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2008, 10:29 AM I recommend checking with the local Historical Society.

Thanks for all the information. Would these Colbys have family or ancestor name of Charbonneau. I assume the answer is yes, as you mentioned Canada.

Although a subscription is mentioned this is not active for the time being so you are free to use the site totally. The site carries no advertising at all, and the subscription (only needed to view full records) is designed to help defray hosting costs). Adding facts is a key part of the sites aims, especially pre 1900 which will help forge historic links. I would be pleased if could add some facts in your knowledge to support the site in its early stages. Besides the database itself which can be added to via: http://www.colby-connections.com/factshare.htm There is a discussion board to engage in questions and answers, debate or anything Colby connected, please ask for any new boards.
