Hello All: The chat last Thursday went very well. We visited with Paul Riedesel a bit and he answered many questions on how to go about researching your German ancestors. The transcript of the chat is online at http://iagenweb.org/chatroom/2002jan17.htm This Thursday we will be visiting with Ann Soenksen of the Central Community Historical Society in DeWitt. She will be letting us know more about the organization and what they have available and how they can help you access it. Our website is so full of Clinton, the city, info. It will be great to hear what resources are available for other parts of the county. I hope you will join us -- this Thursday at 7 p.m. central time.

To: [email protected], [email protected] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Mac sub 39 Hi, I want to tell all of you how much I appreciate the many hours of labor that have made your website so helpful. Thank you so much. I am trying to find some information about the deaths of a young child in Clinton County and his father. The boy is Henry KUNAU, age 3 in the 1880 Census in Elk River Township, ED 28. His parents were Siegfried KUNAU and Kunigunde FELDMANN Kunau, bp Prussia, both age 28 in the 1880 Census. Their other son, Arnold, age 1 in 1880, was my husband's maternal grandfather. Siegfried Kunau died, cause unknown at this time, and was buried at abt age 30, on Feb. 9, 1882 in Teeds Grove Cemetery. I have not found Henry mentioned again after 1880 but have found Kunigunde and Arnold in later Census records in the Clinton area and then in Chicago. Arnold is also mentioned on your site as a graduate of Lyons HS in the Class of 1896 but there is no mention of an older brother, Henry. Kunigunde remarried, widower, 64 yr old, Christian Andreas Matthiesen on Sept 19, 1885 in Clinton. She was 33. Kunigunde and Christian are living in the City of Clinton, ED 18, in the 1900 Census at 36 Seventh Street. He is said to be 77, b. Aug of 1822, imm in 1855 from Germany. She is 48, b. Feb 1852 in Germany, imm in 1875. That record says she has one child living of the two children born to her. Kunigunde and Siegfried had other family members living in the Clinton area. I have made contact and share information with Brice Peterson, born and raised in the Clinton area, now living in Minnesota, whose gt grandmother was Kunigunde's sister, Ida Caroline FELDMANN Dohrmann. Siegfried had a brother, John Kunau, who also farmed in the Clinton area and was married to another sister of Kunigunde, Anna Catherina FELDMANN. Kunigunde was again widowed abt age 50. Christian A. Matthiesen is buried at age. .abt 80, in Center Grove Cemetery, Sharon Twp. on May 2 of 1902. His first wife, Anna Christiena Matthiesen, died May 28, 1883 was buried in Center Grove also. (The Matthiesen's lived in Deep Creek Township, according to the 1880 Census.) Arnold Kunau is listed with his mother and Christian in Clinton in 1900 and also in a Boarding house in Southside Chicago that year. In 1910 and 1920, widow Kunigunde Matthiesen is living with her son Arnold and his wife, Henrietta BISCHOFF and daughters, Myrtle and Nankin Edith in Chicago, . . . according to Census records. When Kunigunde died in Chicago, April 11, 1922, her body was returned to Clinton for burial in Teeds Grove Cemetery, the site of her 1st husband's burial. I assume she is buried next to Siegfried. I found all of these cemetery records on your site and again, I want to say thank you! I am guessing that Henry may have died about the time of his father's death in 1882. Siegfried was such a young man, only 30 years of age when he died. Was there an epidemic in the area or some tragic event? Are there volunteers who are familiar with Teeds Grove Cemetery? I am wondering if perhaps Henry is buried near his father and Kunigunde. Would there be any death records for that early time period? What Church did these Prussian immigrants most likely attend in that farming area? Is that Church still in existance and are their Church Records kept somewhere? Arnold was born in Lyons, Feb 19, 1879, . . . .the year before State records were required. We don't know if Kunigunde & Siegfried were married in Prussia or Iowa. The Kunau's and Feldmann's came from Hallig Oland and Hallig Langeness in N. Friesland, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. I have looked but have not yet found their ship or immigration route . Their younger son, Arnold Kunau, died tragically in Chicago on April 30, 1923 and was buried May 2, 1923 at Memorial Park Cemetery in Skokie, IL, Cook County. Arnold was struck by a streetcar and died of the resulting injuries when his two daughters were very young. He was a theater musician and teacher, a clarinetist we're told. Are there any yearbooks from Lyons HS around 1896 that might have class pictures or Band photos? We have no photos of Arnold and would love to find some image that could be copied. If there is someone who might be familiar with the history of the Prussian immigrants in the rural Clinton area in this time period, I would be grateful for any information. Thank You.

If there is such a place i could contact them and request the information. Thanks

I am forwarding this to our all-knowing list -- can anyone answer these questions? Dear Nettie Mae-- When my grandmother died in 1965, she left the family a box full of family photographs--most of them left unidentified. There are numerous photos from before 1890 from a Lyons photographer by name of Fields. Has anyone worked with the Fields catalogue or have an index of prints w/ names? I'm guessing these folks were relatives, immigrants from Germany--either from Fehmarn Island (where the Hagedorn and Mildenstein families came from) or from the Holstein area (where the Sanders came from). Any information anyone would ha ve about the photographers and about the folks they photographed would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps some of them belong posted to your website.

Surnames: McDonald McCorkle Neville Walrod Emert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qk.2ADI/2031 Message Board Post: Parker was born September 24, 1818, in either Ohio or Pennsylvania. (Census records show both states.) He died August 11, 1908, near DeWitt, Clinton County, Iowa. Married Mary A. McCorkle (according to information at DeWitt Historical Museum) born February 18, 1820, in Pennsylvania and died March 1, 1874. Both are buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in DeWitt. Children were: Amanda, 5/20/1850 - ?; probably m Winfield Scott Neville. George, 8/30/1851 - 2/4/1937; m Margaret Walrod; farmed in SE DeWitt Township. William, 3/4/1853 - ?; m Eliza. Joseph Y., 4/26/1855 - 8/7/1920; m Dolly Emert; farmed in DeWitt Township. Jesse, 9/16/1856 - 2/8/1931; m Hattie; was cattle feeder in DeWitt Township. Eli C., 11/1/1859 - ?; believe Eli never married; moved to Chicago and drove freight wagons. Oliver, 9/13/1862 - 11/15/1862. Ida, 7/18/1864 -4/1881. Parker and Mary lived in Luzerne Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He is shown as a "wagoner" in the 1894 book,"The Old Pike," by Thomas B. Searight, Chapter 20. In Chapter 35, he kept the "red tavern" west of the "old Peter Colley stand." He is also listed as a "school director" of the Redstone School in Franklin Ellis' "History of Fayette County, Pennsylvania," 1882. We also believed he drove a stagecoach. The family moved to DeWitt Township, Clinton County, Iowa, before the 1880 census. Parker's Clinton Herald obituary calls him an "old settler."

Hello Everyone: Thought I'd better check in. We have been adding more marriages to the list. JoAn Hoffman has been very busy typing. The marr1.txt file at the Archives has been updated. I have taken over the IA State Census project (the url is below) and I have been working on the 1856 state census for Clinton. I just about have Berlin township done and should have it online in a few days. If anyone would like to volunteer to help transcribe Clinton censuses, I'd be glad to have you. I know we started this at one time but never followed through. If you have access to state or federal census records, please consider transcribing them for us. They are such a great help to genealogists. Our chat on Thursday evening (at 7 p.m. central at http://iagenweb.org/state/cgi-bin/chatroom/) will be about German immigrants. Hopefully we can discuss how to find them, where they came from, how to find out where they came from and how and where to access German records. If you already know all about this subject, I hope you will join us and clue us in. Paul Riedesel has agreed to join us. If it is up to me alone, it may turn into a case of the blind leading the blind! We also have, new at the Archives, military history on the different civil war units. You know those great big books at the library that you never really have time to read all of? Fran has been working hard to type up the history of each unit and then listing those from Clinton who served. These are online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ia/clinton/cwbk.htm Fran is working on Vol. II even as I type so be sure to check back. Please let us know if we left anyone out. She tried to go by the names listed for residence but may have missed a few. Well, that's about it for now. Enjoy your trip through the civil war and be sure to join us Thursday to chat.
