Thanks for replying.Unfortunately this is some of the info I already have. Thalus and "Lottie" left Allamakee for Minn. MN shortly after Orsemas' death in 1903. I have nothing else on him until his death record in 1940. I have Orsemas Wiley living in Freeport in 1903 according to the list of heirs......and him married to Ada Arley but no record of when or where they married.....cemetery records show his DOD as Nov. 24, 1929. Vesta Beach shows up in Wadena MN on the 1900 census, along with Jay Lavell's daughter in his household, then disappears. His daughter Emma pops up on an Oregon census in 1906 as a "servant". Then she too disappears. I have nothing on Jay Lavell until his death record (1932) from Henepin County MN with a second wife. So you see, I have lots on the family but enormous gaps between their births and deaths.....also did they have any children???? I only know of three for the whole group....It was easier to find info from the 1700's and 1800's than from the 1900's........ Thank you again....edna

I have a few dozen photos of Postville, including children sledding down a hill near what appears to be a school, that were taken by the Myra (Jacobia) Gray family and William Oehring. As a child, my aunt Mary lived with Mrs. Gray during the school year and returned to her Des Moines family in the summer. She remained close friends with the Grays and with "Billo" for many, many years. Is there anyone/group who can make use of some the photos? Thanks! Julie Simon [email protected] I did get some appropriate from your website: Cemetery : Oehring, William H 1874 May 25 1954 Jan 31 Son of John C FS DR Wedding: Myra E. Jacobia to Otis E. Gray August 1888 Postville Married. At the residence of the bride's parents, adjoining Postville on Tuesday evening, Aug 21st, by Rev. J.O. THRUSH, Mr. Otis E. GRAY and Miss Myra E. JACOBIA. Although quite a large company was present there were but few not relatives of the contracting parties. It was however one of the pleasantest occasions of the kind that has ever come off in Postville or vicinity. The decorations were appropriate and fine, the viands were superb and the presents were numerous and appropriate, though by request a list of them is not given. Thus another couple of our estimable young people join hands and hearts for the life journey, with the best of wishes for their prosperity and happiness on the part of all who know them and the families with which they are connected.

Schroeder I have a lot of information about the Clair side of this family which I'd be happy to share. I know very little of the Schroeder line.

I am in the process of transcribing the 1854 census of Allamakee County, and have a listing for a Martin Drayer in Lansing. That census shows only the name of the head-of-household and number of males (4) and females (4) in the family. Many names appear to have been spelled phonetically. Is that "Drayer" of any interest? None of the other surnames below were found. With luck, and completion of proofreading, the 1854 census might be posted at <www.us-census.org> in about a month. .....Pat Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 20:11:20 -0500 From: "Jacob Fritz" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IAALLAMA-L] Re: Jacob Dreher Hello Carol, I received your message to Maureen regarding the Dreher family. I became interested in this family many years ago because the 1870 Lansing census shows Sophia Boey, age 17, working as a domestic in the Dreher hotel. This whole group starts at line 21 through line 32 in the 1870 census. Page not recorded. Sophia is on line 29. Sophrama Boy and her future husband, L.M. Schriber, were witnesses to my grandparents' 6 June 1870 wedding in Waukon. I believe my grandparents were witnesses to the Sophia Boy and L.M. Schriber wedding in October 1870 in Waukon. I have been searching for my grandmother's roots for almost 20 years. Her name was Louisa Boy, age 18, and lived in Lansing when she married my grandfather, Jacob Fritz. As you can see I am hoping Sophia will lead me to my grandmother's ancestry. The 1870 Lansing census film at the Wisconsin Historical Society is so bad the entries are almost illegible. I do recall being able to read some of the entries. I never found my grandparents in the 1870 Lansing census. Louisa Boy reports she emigrated to the U.S. in 1866. Louisa Boy reported in the 1880 census that she was born in Prussia to Prussian-born parents. The 1870 Lansing census enumerator reported Sophia Boy was from Switzerland. I don't think so. I think these two young women were sisters and came to the U.S.A. in 1866, at age 13 and 14. It would seem they were too young to come over alone. I think they came with their family or a sponsor. Do you have any information regarding how the Dreher, Holtz families got to Iowa, boat, port, dates, etc.? One of the big problems is the many variations of the Boy surname. Seldom was it spelled the same. I understand Boy was a fairly common Prussian name. As you can see there is some reason for my interest in your Dreher family. Since they were from Prussia maybe the Boy girls came with this family. I would appreciate any leads you may have to help in my search. Grandma Louisa was the only grandparent living when I was born in 1924. If you need more Fritz information I have submitted obits, wills, probates, etc. to the Allamakee Web-site. Also I have made queries for each Louisa and Sophia Boy. Thanks, Jacob O.
