Hi! According to the South Lee County Iowa Marriages book 3, Sarah Russell (b. Ireland, age 24, d/o Hugh Russell and Sarah Cochrane) married William John Hull (b. Ireland, age 24, s/o John Hull and Mary Johnson) on June 14, 1902 in Keokuk, Lee Co., IA. James A. Dodds was the pastor from the 2nd Pres Church and witnesses were Hugh Russell and John Hull. I found no other related Russells in the book. I hope this helps!

Hi Kathy, I've encountered this. Sometimes someone looks up something, doesn't see anything obvious and tells you they have nothing. Sometimes you need specific time frames or a patient clerk that will look up alternative spellings. For some reason my grgrgrandfather moved to Missouri from Illinois where his wife was still living. He died there but was sent back to Illinois to be buried with the family. There is no headstone and if it weren't for the efforts of a fantastic volunteer there I would never have found them. Another volunteer had previously told me there was no record of this family anywhere! It could be the family disowned him...who knows. I'd try to find his death through the state if possible to see what turns up. And don't forget to ask local libraries if they have a listing of who is buried in the local cemeteries. Sometimes they do and they can give you the info you are looking for! Good luck.

Sorry, folks, I just realized that I posted my message to the wrong Iowa county Web site. Feel free to answer my question if you still want. Maybe it happens in Lee County, too. Kathy SCOTT, HUNTER-- these are my Lee County names.

I would like to make contact with anyone concerning the surnames in Lee Co., Ia. Ranson, Hyde, Powell, and Overton Will excahnge what info I have. Some has been verified some not. Thanks Michaellann MCTenn@aol.com

Hello all: I have run into a situation where I know where an entire family is buried, except for the father (James O'Meara). I can't find him anywhere in the county. His wife and son are buried at Lycurgus, but I find no evidence of his burial anywhere in Allamakee County. On another branch, I have a wife who died. (Hannah Garvin/Gavin McLaughlin). The husband remarried. I can find him, his second wife, and several of his children, but no sign of the first wife. I realize it is possible that the father, above, moved to another county, but he would have been leaving his wife behind at an elderly age. I also realize that that first wife may have died elsewhere and been buried elsewhere, but I find no indication of that, either. These seem the least likely. what seems more likely is that record-keepers were inconsistent or inadequate. So has anybody else had ancestors who vanished?

I have a story pertaining to my great grandfather. This was in Denver, CO but I think the situation could happen anywhere. The surname is Thompson. We knew where most of the family was buried - Crown Hill Cemetery. We had his sons, wife, etc. We started looking in 1962. Crown Hill told us many times they had no Thomas Thompson buried there. We had photos taken of him as late as about 1915. Then the 1920 census came out, and he was in it. The 1925 state census showed her as a widow. My father, who was born in 1905, always said he didn't know what happened to his Grandpa. Through a lookup volunteer just recently (keep in mind 39 years of searching), it was found that the Denver 1921 City Directory not only listed residents, but those who died in that year. There was a Thomas Thompson listed, no address. Through the dedication of that wonderful volunteer she found a short obit for him. With that date in hand, I called Crown Hill Cemetery (this was probably the 20th contact with them over the years). Within two minutes, the man was reading the entry to me. He had been buried in the single graves section, possibly the paupers graves section back then or possibly the infectious epidemic section. No stone. Anyway, bottom line is that without the exact date of death and burial, Crown Hill had not been willing to search even though they repeatedly said they had searched. Good lesson here to keep pursuing all the alternative sources such as city directories.

Hi! I've been good. I've been focusing on trying to get all my info that is currently in piles on my desk and on the floor into the computer. At least it's distracted me from the frustration of trying to find info on Michael and Catherine. (btw - I liked your idea about typing in the obits into the family file so much that I'm doing it too!!). If you want to split up the obits on our mutual family - just let me know and I'll help. I'm still awaiting word from the Toronto Archdiocese re the marriage of Michael and Catherine. How have you been?

Morris (Katherine) Passes Away Was Sick 3 Weeks The spirit of Mrs. Michael Morris (Katherine) passed to its heavenly home at an early hour this morning, when the death angel entered. Her death was due to heart trouble, and came after 3 weeks illness, at 12:30 AM at her home at K and Reid Streets. Mrs. Morris was a devout member of St. Peter's Catholic Church ever since she came to Keokuk, thirty-six years ago and she was one of the best known and most loveable women in the community in which she had lived so long. She was 65 years of age at the time of her death and her demise, which was not without warning, was still so sudden as to come as a severe shock to her large circle of friends and acquaintances, as well as to the immediate relatives who are left to mourn the loss of a loving mother. She is survived by 8 children and 35 grandchildren. Her husband, Michael, died Feb 13, 1905. The children who survive are: Mrs. Mary Landman of Keokuk; Mrs. George Bogle and Mrs. John Servos of Mooar; Mrs. Frank Dwyer of St. Joseph, MO; Mrs. John Aiken of Keokuk; Mrs. Sherman Enterline of Drummond, OK; Miss Kate Morris of Chicago; and Joseph Morris of Keokuk. Two other children preceeded her to the land beyond the grave some years ago.
