Did you see the photo of Golda Stickney, circa 1900, Lima, Ohio listed on Somebody's links? The photo was purchased Las Vegas, New Mexico. If you're interested in a scan or the photo free, the photo # is 4, and the lister is Linda Ziemann, linziemann@directlink.net Put OLD PHOTOS in subject line. A long shot, but didn't want you to miss it if it's your line.

I have an obit (it doesn't say to whom he was related--it's more of a story of his war experiece) for a Frank Widows . The paper is very old, but no date is visable. I'm guessing the paper is from the 1920's. Frank apparently inlisted in WWI on 15 Jun 1917. He was in Co. I. Does anyone know if this Frank Widows is related to the late Harry Widows (Ferne Jackson). I will gladly pass along the contents of the article. Isobel

Our three person team for recording Mills County Cemetery records is going strong. Scott Larson walks and verifies, I type and Margaret puts it online. We have several more ready to go in the next few weeks. We have added St. Boniface and Rhode in the last few days. Rhode is actually in Fremont County but very near the Mills County line. Our mailing list is in a shambles because of all the disappearing ISPs and the changes which are being made in addresses by different providers. There are many bounces, some bounce even though the message was delivered and some keep on bouncing even when they are unsubscribed. I will be sending out a test message next week and asking for each of you to hit reply if you receive it. I hope for cooperation so we can get our mailing list in good shape again. Thanks for your help. Cay -- Cay Merryman http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills/

The last record I can find on Benjamin Hodgin is the 1900 Federal Census for Mills Co., IA, Rawls Twp. Is he buried in Mills Co? Norma in Tacoma WA
