Interesting, Do you know anything of Jane Aker's line? My mother's line are from the same area as Daniel Boone, one of my great uncles is recorded as a frequent member of his hunting parties. Several if my ancestors are named Daniel Boone (Boone as a middle name - both my gggg and ggg are Daniel Boone Auxiers [Sr. & jr.]). The Auxier name has evolved in spelling. I looked but could not find the Boone connection you refered to, I wanted to check on whose Jane's parents were - do you have any info on her? I just wonder if she could have been an Auxier?

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0k.2ADE/3248 Message Board Post: My great grandparents lived in Woodbine, Harrison, Iowa in early 1900's. Richard Andrew Harris married his second wife Alice Bogecki (Bogocki, Boysky) in 1905 at Woodbine. They had five living children Paul, Bessie, Celia, Carl, Andrew, & Willard Harris. I am having trouble finding anything for Alice. She has listed her birthplace as Colorado and Wisconsin. I know she died in Wisconsin in 1939. But can find no record of her before her marriage and I don't know her parent's names. I was told they were Polish or German. She lists her fathers name as John on her marriage certificate but the last name spelling is killing me! Can't find anything. I do remember stories that they lived in Colorado at one time and a little brother died lost in a snowstorm. Can somebody help me with the spelling? Any common spellings for this pronounciation? Thank you Linda

I have searched for any record of his parents George and Lucretia but cannot find anything. He was born in Corunna, Michigan and came to live with his aunt when he was young. Near as I can place it, he was about 5-6 years old. Surrelda was the child of Alexander Purcell and Elizabeth Brown.

Arbaugh Meets Sudden Death One of our respected citizens, Jesse L. Arbaugh, died by sudden heart failure at his home Tuesday, (December 9, 1919.) He had been in his usual health and there was no warning. His children Schuyler and Miss Bertha were in town and when they went home were surprised to find him out of the house. They began to search as the night was bitter cold. He was found in the corn crib dead, where he had gone to get corn for feeding. It was evident that the thread of life had snapped in an instant and he had fallen over without a struggle. The body was not yet cold when found. Mr. Arbaugh had lived here for about 35 years and was known as the man who never had an enemy. He was a veteran of the civil war and was 77 years old past. Before moving to his late home he resided at Modale. His wife died a couple of years ago and was buried at Magnolia, where he will be placed after the service which will probably be held Saturday.
