My research in Madison Co., includes my mothers family lines. Her father's parents were: George W. and Anna Maria (Armstrong) Hodson. My brick wall is in trying to prove that George's parents are Allen and Margaret (Lear) Hodson. George had a brother in the area named Carey Hodson and Anna Maria had a sister named Mary Josephine (Armstrong) Wynkoop. I believe her daughter was a Hamilton. My mother's parents were John and Diana Jane(Stan(d)ley) Bechtel. John was a retired minister who operated a restaurant and bakery in Earlham. Later his son John Bechtel ran it. Some of the family lived near Waukee, Dexter, and Earlham. Also in Stuart, Adair Co. Do these names ring a bell with anyone?

Dear Diana, I was wondering if you found anyone to look up the relatives in the Union Chapel Cemetary for you? I would like to try to find someone that might also be able to look up those buried in the Earlham Cemetary. Thanks, Martha (Winn/Rechow & Hays/Drake) Maxwell

About a year and a half ago, I am certain that Madison County had the cemeteries listed along with the burials. I dont know what happened to them. I am certain that I have looked through them. I wish they would put them back on. No one has volunteered.

In response to a boycott and criticism from outraged customers, Yahoo late Wednesday abandoned rules that had given it eternal ownership of all Geocities Web sites. "We're seeing how we can clarify our intentions, given the recent outcry," said Tim Brady, Yahoo vice president of production. "The new terms of service, which took effect 3 p.m. PST Wednesday after executives spent the morning huddling with lawyers, now stress that "Yahoo does not own content you submit..." "The company said that Yahoo will use customers' intellectual property only when displaying it on Web sites and for promotion and marketing. "Many Geocities homesteaders worried that Yahoo could take their Web pages and republish them -- even in another form, which the contract allowed, such as books or CD-ROMs. Customers still had the right to publish or distribute their intellectual property themselves. Experts say the changes are poorly drafted, but conclude that Yahoo has seriously constrained its ability to republish members' content. "The addition is a significant limitation on what they can do. They can still reproduce, publish, translate, but can only do that for certain purposes," said David Post, professor of law at Temple University. "If they took my Web site and printed it out and published it as a book, they can't do that on the basis of this license," said Post, who teaches intellectual property law. "That's exactly what Yahoo has said all along. "Clearly our intention is not to publish books," Brady said. "Hopefully, with the language we're looking at, it will be very clear to our users that that is not the case..." "If we took a snapshot of our business today, we could make paragraph eight [in the terms of service] more narrow," he said. "But we all know how quickly the Web moves and everything's in flux. We need the flexibility to adapt our services..." "Under the old terms of service, site owners had to give Yahoo a "royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such content" in any form or media." ==== Excerpted from: http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/ 8.

Hi Marilyn, I noticed your post to Madison. None of the names are familiar to me--however, I have not looked over all of those in my ancestry as yet.

It looks like I will really get to see St. Charles and Madison Co. tomorrow and Sat. I have been waiting for a year for the opportunity to do this so I'm excited. One stop, for sure, will be the St. Charles Cemetery. I have quite a few family members and associated family members there. I would be happy to write down info from headstones or take pictures (weather permitting) of headstones.

Diana, Union Chapel is located south of Patterson and west of St. Charles. Go west from St. Charles on the pavement, I think it is G50. Turn north or right on the 3rd gravel road, about 4-5 miles. Go north about 1/2 - 3/4 mile and the road jogs to the West or left. Union Chapel is on the Northeast corner of the intersection. The church burned many years ago and only the cemetery is left. I have not seen a listing of those buried there in print but there may be one. I am headed that way the week of July 12 for research and will be stopping at Union Chapel as I have BROWN and JANES families there. If you want I will look for your family while I am there. Let me know. Ron Stutsman

Diana, If you do go to the Blair Chapel Cemetery, would you inquire as to whether any old church records from our ancestors' times are still available? I would also be interested in the history of the United Brethren in Christ Church of which Rev. Campbell Hughart, Rev. Armstrong, and Rev. John M. Blair were ministers. Thanks! Cynthia Hughart
