In 1866 my great-great grandparents, Timothy and Ellen Fitzgerald purchased land from a Thomas Scanlan and a Catherine Scanlan in Lafayette Township, Allamakee County, Iowa. (near Wexford, IA). William Scanlan is listed in one history of Lafayette township as one of its earliest settlers in the township. Several of the other family names you mentioned are among the near neighbors in Lafayette and Taylor townships. (Harper's Ferry is in Taylor township.)

I am looking for information on Siri Hansdatter and Jacob Anderson who emigrated to Allamakee in 1867 from the Jevenaker area of Hadeland Norway. They were 66 and 64 respectively and had children in the area, Hans Hanson and Andrew Jacobson. I do not know if they went by Anderson or possibly Sorlie, he had children in IA and MN who used the farm name of Sorlie. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hello list, I live in Calif. and was in Lansing last month; however the library was closed so I couldn't check on an old newspaper article. I'm interested in an article (actually an obit.) about my g-grandfather, Wilson H. Foote, a brakeman for the Soo Line, who was killed in Almena, WI on Aug. 19, 1894. He was born near McGregor, however, he married a girl, Fannie Coy, who was born in Lansing. An article I found about his death, in a WI paper, made mention of "an article in the Lansing newspaper that said he had taught music there for several winters." So something must have been written about him in the Lansing newspaper. Would anyone be able to check this out for me? I would really appreciate anything you might find. By the way, Lansing is a beautiful little town!! Thanks, Linda

Postville Herald newspaper clipping from my mother's obituary collection. Mother has another clipping about Mr. Schlee's fatal accident pasted next to the obituary. The picture shows a very smashed up pickup and a semi truck off in a field. The article reads as follows: FATAL ACCIDENT This picture was taken shortly after the accident that took place at 9:30 a.m. last Tuesday, April 21, about 2.3 miles southeast of Postville on Highway 18. William F. Schlee of Postville was fatally injured in the accident. According to the Clayton County Sheriff's report the pickup driven by Schlee was struck in the passenger side by the front of the semi. Schlee was ejected from his vehicle, and was dead at the scene. The driver of the semi, Lee A. Pulda of Prairie du Chien, Wis., was transferred to the hospital, treated and released. The report states that Schlee turned left into the path of the Pulda semi without yielding. The accident remains under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol and the Clayton County Sheriff Department.

On March 27, 1883, he was united in marriage with Miss Fredericke Schmidt at Garnavillo, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Sommeriatte. This union was blessed with seven children of whom the following survive: Henry Schlee of Gladbrook, Louis Schlee of Postville, Adelia (Mrs. Walter Casten) of Locust, and Edward Schlee of Grand Meadow township.

This is a re-post of a message sent almost 24 hours ago but which is still wandering around out there somewhere in cyberspace. If you receive both you will note that this one is the "revised" edition. (Note: if you will click and enlarge to full screen you will find it much easier to read.)

My apologies to the list for the duplicate messages re the Fred Stock family... and you may see another.
