From: Shelley & Tomas Cardiel Date: 08/02/05 00:43:37 To: IAPOLK-L@rootsweb.com Subject: SEIBERLING Family Autograph Album I've "rescued" an old autograph album which belonged to Sadie SEIBERLING of Mitchellville, Iowa. The album includes entries by both family and friends beginning in 1884 and ending in 1889. Entries included in the album are as follows: Autograph Album belonging to Miss Sadie SEIBERLING of Mitchellville, Iowa Family: * Althea SEIBERLING "Sister", 29 Jan 1885, Mitchellville, IA * Clara SEIBERLING "Sister", 29 Jan 1885, Mitchellville, IA Friends: * Blanche WHEELER, 31 Dec 1884 * Lulu WHEELER, 31 Dec 1884 * Mary SELLERS, 31 Dec 1884 * Mrs. Clara E. WAY, 4 Mar 1885, Mitchellville, IA * Cella LEE, 8 June 1887, Altoona, IA * Eva CRAWFORD, 6 Feb 1889, Mitchellville, IA * Ada COTTRELL, 31 Dec 1884, Mitchellville, IA * Cora GRIMSTEAD, 7 June 1887, Mitchellville, IA * Ola ROOKER, 31 Dec 1884 * Louie SELLERS * I.

Charles was age 35, born in OH to PA born parents, a Farmer who along with his wife, Jerusha C. age 32, born in OH to OH born parents were living with six children during 1880. The children included, John G. age 13, Clara M. age 8, Alta L. age 7, Sarah C. age 5, Harry G. age 2, and Etta May age 1 year, all born in IA. Also living in the household was Ida SEIBERLING age 22, born in OH to PA born parents; no relationship noted however, I'm wondering if she might be a sister to Charles. Sarah Catherine or "Sadie" married Albert SCHMIDT in 1871 and died 6 July 1938 in Summit County, OH. Her sister Althea Laura SEIBERLING was born 15 Nov 1873 at Mitchellville, IA and died 2 Dec 1956 in Des Moines, IA. Althea married Milan J. HIBBS on the 29th of June 1892 in Mitchellville, IA. Their sister Clara Maude SEIBERLING also born in Mitchellville, IA in June 1871, married Albert Bertus CRAIG on the 7th of Feb 1894 in Mitchellville, IA and died 27 Oct 1951 in Mitchellville, IA. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
