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. J. WOODS, 20 Jan 1886 * Chellie COTTRELL, 6 June 1887 * Hattie DELONG, 14 Jan 1885, Mitchellville, IA * Mattie SELLERS, Apple Grove * Edith MILLER, 3 Jan 1886 * Bertha WHEELER, 6 June 1887 * Olive PERDUE, 22 Apr 1885, Altoona, IA * Guy LEE, 6 Feb 1889, Mitchellville, IA * Amy ROOKER, 24 Jan 1886 Based on limited research, I believe that Sadie is actually Sarah Catherine SEIBERLING b. 12 May 1875 the daughter of Charles SEIBERLING and Jerusha Catherine BETZ who were all living in Beaver, IA during the 1880 census. 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

I have received the following from Doug Light about the obit for Gary. Freida Dear Freida Wells, As per Gary's longstanding wishes and discussions with his brother and me, there will be no funeral or memorial services, and private burial will be at some future date. Gary's brother has sent a brief notice for publication by the Chariton Newspapers, which should be in the Tuesday or at the latest Thursday edition. If I can provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. We are still in recovery from the sudden and unexpected loss of Gary, who we saw as a very special person. Genealogy and Lucas County and Chariton and his family history were all passions in Gary's life from very early on until the present. He took his genealogical "responsibilities" very seriously, and from the messages I have received, he succeeded in his endeavors. He really was a special person, and he is much missed. Again, if I can provide any further helpful information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Douglas Light --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page

His death came as a release from the intense suffering of the past days. For the past two years his illness has caused him many days of pain and suffering, but he bore it patiently. He resided in Noble County, Ohio, until 22 years of age when he came with his parents to Lucas County, Iowa, where his residence has been since that time. He was married in 1857 to MARGARET GOOKIN, who survives him with a son, ALBERT E. RUSSELL, of Chariton; a daughter, CORNELIUS C. RUSSELL, of Russell, and a sister, MRS. A. LAFOLLETTE, of Russell.

May the infinite grace of the living God be with those who remain to keep them and to comfort them in their house of bereavement. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert July 31, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net "A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot".

BERT GILBERT and children spent Sunday afternoon at CYRUS WILLOUGHBY's. MRS. MCDOWELL and daughter, MRS. MYRA WILSON, and two little sons, spent Sunday and Monday near Columbia at FRANK COLWELL's.

HARRY MILLER and daughters, JESSIE and MYRTLE, visited at CYRUS WILLOUGHBY's Monday. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert July 31, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net "A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot".

From: Freida Wells Date: 07/30/05 10:23:11 To: Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert Subject: Re: [IALUCAS] GARY THARP PASSED AWAY TODAY. Well folks we have lost one of the great researchers of the Lucas Co IA family. I also received a note from Doug letting me know that Gary had passed away. I will miss him very much. We have been working on the LANE family off and on for over 20 years and he was a GREAT help to me, and we would have long discussions on the family and information we had found. A few years ago my husband and I planned a trip to Chariton and I wrote to Gary and told him I was going. Well another cousin Sue in VA decided she would come also, so the three of us worked for three weeks getting our work list made. Gary had the cemetery book (I did not at that time) and made a list of all that I would need to take pics of, made us or scanned the maps from the book, wrote out all the directions for each one. And folks I want to tell you that he did a great job and we came home with over 200 cemetery photos from Lucas and Wayne Counties. Sue and I worked on the list of documents and census that needed to be done and went thru the surname files they have at the Gen society in Chariton (great place to visit) and we came home with over 150 documents, so I would say we made a great team. I will miss him very much as he was always such an inspiration to me. The last thing he sent me was a cute thing called Lawns and God.... I am going to send to you also, and Nancee I would like that photo, if it is the one I am thinking of he sent to me also and I had problems with my computer and lost it, so please send to me so I will have it. Sincerely Freida Wells

10 Jul 2005 Freida This is priceless. Gary GOD: St. Francis, you know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going on down there in the USA? What happened to the dandelions, violets, thistle and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect, no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honeybees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of colors by now. But all I see are these green rectangles. ST. FRANCIS: It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites. They started calling your flowers weeds and went to great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass. GOD: Grass? But it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract butterflies, birds and bees, only grubs and sod worms. It's temperamental with temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want all that grass growing there? ST. FRANCIS: Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn. GOD: The spring rains and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites happy. ST. FRANCIS: Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little, they cut it, sometimes twice a week. GOD: They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay? ST. FRANCIS: Not exactly Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags. GOD: They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it? ST. FRANCIS: No, sir -- just the opposite. They pay to throw it away. GOD: Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass so it will grow. And when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away? ST. FRANCIS: Yes, sir. GOD: These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work. ST. FRANCIS: You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it. GOD: What nonsense. At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer stoke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. Plus, as they rot, the leaves form compost to enhance the soil. It's a natural circle of life. ST. FRANCIS: You'd better sit down, Lord. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle. As soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away. GOD: No. What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter and to keep the soil moist and loose? ST. FRANCIS: After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they call mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves. GOD: And where do they get this mulch? ST. FRANCIS: They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch. GOD: Enough! I don't want to think about this anymore. St. Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you scheduled for us tonight? ST. CATHERINE: Dumb and Dumber, Lord. It's a real stupid movie about ... GOD: Never mind, I think I just heard the whole story from St. Francis. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
