http://www.firebrand.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Austin#_note-0 Hi List, It seems that it was anywhere from feminist/activist to religious. The person says he probably found out more than he wanted to know about his relative. Thanks to everyone who contributed to helping him find out. What would we do without these little mysteries our ancestors left for us? Good or bad, we sure learn alot!! Thanks again, Jerrian

Hi, A member on another list said he ran into this in an obituary. "She was a devout member of the Fire Brand Society----------. " This was in Iowa. Nothing came up on Google. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks, Jerrian

I found lots of hits for fire brand also. Posted on a website SAMPLE SHORT BIOGRAPHIES FROM: EMMA GOLDMAN: A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN YEARS, 1890-1901 (University of California Press, April 2003) http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Goldman/Samples/sample_bios.html is this interesting possibility: Bauer, Henry (1861-1934), German-born anarchist. Bauer immigrated to the United States in 1880, and settled in Pittsburgh, where he took part in the movement for an eight-hour workday. Bauer was drawn to anarchism in response to the Haymarket trial and executions. Alexander Berkman stayed with Bauer and Carl Nold in Pittsburgh before his attempted assassination of Henry Clay Frick. With Nold, Bauer was sentenced to five years, and served four, in prison on two charges: incitement to riot (stemming from their distribution of a handbill addressed to striking Homestead workers on 8 July); and conspiracy (with Berkman) to commit murder. Bauer was also charged $50 and sixty days in county jail for contempt of court when he refused to name the other men involved in distributing the leaflets (one of whom was Max Metzkow). Bauer corresponded with AB through the journal Prison Blossoms, created withing the walls of the Western Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. After his release, Bauer served as secretary of the Berkman Defense Committee. Settling in Pittsburgh, he became western Pennsylvania's distributor of English- and German-language anarchist books, pamphlets and newspapers, including Firebrand, Free Society and Freiheit. He contributed to Freedom (in 1892 on the consequences of the Frick shooting) and to Free Society (25 December 1898) a re-print of an interview with him first published in the Pittsburgh Leader, "Can Anarchism Be Killed?" The above bio gives sense of what anything Firebrand might have been in the late 1890s.. Kathy Devlin -----Original Message----- From: Clayton co.

Can anyone tell me where the 'Monona New East Side Cemetery' is? I know there is an Eastside cemetery in Elkader, but found reference to the Monona East Side in the obit for GUSTAV EDWARD COLBY who died in 1971. http://iagenweb.org/boards/clayton/obituaries/index.cgi?read=40054 Could it be a new section of the Monona City cemetery? Thanks for any assistance. Sharyl Ferrall Clayton co. IAGenWeb coordinator
