Friday, March 11, 1910, Page 1. John George Nearhood was born October 24, 1820, in county, Pennsylvania, and died March 7, 1910, at Wapello, aged 89 years, 4 months and 16 days. Union Iowa, Penn, and died March 7, 1910, at Wapello, Iowa, aged 89 years, four months and 16 days. He grew to manhood in the vicinity of his birth. When about twenty-two years of age he went to Bedford county, Penn., where on January 30, 1849, he was married to Jane Brown. Three children were born to them, all of whom died in infancy. He moved from Pennsylvania to Wapello, Iowa, in 1850. When he had been here two years his wife died, in 1852. Two years later, in 1854, he was married to Rachel Mitchell at Wapello, Iowa. Five children were born to them: Three, who died in infancy; Enos, who was killed on a train in Henry county in 1894, and Aner, of Wapello, Iowa, with whom he has made his home for quite a number of years, and who survives him. He has been a continuous resident of Wapello for sixty years, coming here when the life of the county still had its pioneer spirit. A cabinet maker by trade, having learned it in his early life, he worked in his shop in the employ of John Keck Sr., for a number of years, until the making of furniture by machinery took away the work of his trade in county seats. He then turned to carpentering and building and helped to build residences that are still occupied as homes in Wapello. Later, with the advance of his years, he followed such other employment as was convenient for him. His wife preceded him in death in 1902, having been an invalid for a number of years, several of which she was helpless. The present commodious residence was built by Aner Nearhood about twelve years ago to afford his mother more comforts than she had in the old home, still standing near. Aner, the youngest son, having remained with his parents, has for the last twenty-five years had full charge of the home and gave his father and mother faithful and affectionate care. Enos married Fannie Higgs of Wapello, Iowa, and three children were born to them, Maude, Daisy and Nora. Maude lived with her Grandpa Nearhood from the time she was eleven years old until her marriage to Nathan Thompson, Oct. 5, 1909, when she moved to Morning Sun. Daisy and Nora lived with their mother in Nebraska until her death in April, 1907, when they came to their grandfa-ther's to make their horne. These three granddaughters with Mrs. Ameila Fields, an adopted daughter, now of Monmouth, Ill., have been to him an affectionate member of the family and remain to mourn his loss. The funeral was held from the home Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. E. Newsom. Interment in the Wapello cemetery.

Cocklin 1822-1910 <http://iagenweb.org/boards/louisa/obituaries/index.cgi?rev=189657> AUTHOR: volunteer DATE: 4/11/2008 at 21:00:22 Surnames: COCKLIN,BECK,CHRISTIE,REXROTH THE WAPELLO TRIBUNE, Wapello, Iowa. Friday, March 11, 1910, Page 1 Reuben F. Cocklin was born in Perry county, Pa., March 30, 1822, and departed this life at his home in Grandview, Iowa, Saturday, February 26, 1910, aged 87 years, 10 months and 27 days. On Dec. 2, 1847, he was united in marriage to Margaret Beck at Clintonville, Venenigo county, Pa. In 1854 he removed to Iowa locating at Burlington, where he resided until the year 1859, when he removed to Grandview, residing there continuously until his death. Mr. Cocklin enlisted in the 19th Iowa Infantry in 1862, being a member of the company G in that regiment, serving three years to the close of the war. He was a brave and faithful soldier, and took a part in every engagement of his company and regiment. He was taken prisoner of war with his company at the fight of Sterling farm, near Morganza, La., in 1863, and remained in the rebel prison there for ten months until discharged. Mr. Cocklin is survived by five children. They are Leutica Christie, Clark Cocklin, Mary Bell Rexroth and Clinton Cocklin, all of Grandview, and George W. Cocklin, of Muscatine, Ia. Aside from his children, he is survived by his wife and one brother, Lewis Cocklin, of Griswold, Ia., and 13 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. He was always a loving and devoted father, striving to make a pleasant home. His long residence in the community had given him a very wide circle of friends, everyone of whom knew him as a generous neighbor and faithful friend ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. So while we have sorrow yet it is not as those who have no hope, for it is written, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

No, we didn't change the address. The "s" is still supposed to be on there. The Louisa County Genealogical Committee's pages are at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialcgs

Due to some disagreements on policy and mastheads between TGN and coordinators on Rootsweb, the UsGenWeb is being moved off of TGN. There should be no disruption of service as the UsGenWeb main page is being updated as rapidly as the new changes are made. The link UsGenWeb.org should work for you as all known State sites that have been moved have been updated on UsGenWeb. There are still many moves going on so if you find a link not working, just try later in the day or tomorrow. Coordinators are either using redirects or will indicate on the index page where the pages have moved. All efforts are being made to avoid any disruptions in service with the free genealogy researchers. The Louisa County Genealogical Committee's website will remain on Rootsweb for the time being as I have had no problem with Rootsweb to date and they have not put their banner on the pages. However, my personal pages do have the banner but it is small and unobtrusive so once again these sites are staying on Rootsweb for now. I will give you the URLS so you can check to see what is on the banner. Banners on some sites are larger with more links on them..
