A 'Roll Call' is always a good idea. Here goes: Israel Holmes, born in New York about 1831 (per census records) moved to Illinois and may have been on the 1850 census of Ogle county. Found his family in 1880 in Seward Township, Winnebago County, Illinois...1895 to 1900 he was in Butler County, Iowa. He died and was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Butler County in 1914. He married Harriett (may have been Harriett Hubbard, Herbert, Hubert) She was born about 1837 in Canada and died in Butler County in 1901. Children: Frank b about 1860; Lester b about 1864, Albert b about 1865, Edgar b about 1868, Rose and Florence died without marrying or having children, Irving b about 1877, Myrtle b about 1878, and Herman b about 1879. Parents? children? cousins?
