There were many WOOTEN families in Council Bluffs, some spelled WOOTON. One line from Virginia to Missouri, apparently, and others. Jimmie (James S.) Wooten is in the 1930 census, b. Michigan, father b. Michigan, mother b. Arkansas, age 16, "boxer in training" living in the Carl Glass home. Walter Wooten, 41, b. MO, and Carl Wooten, 14, b. MO, are living down the street. Walter is shown as a turntable man on the steam railway. My Dad knew Jimmie and Carl "Cappy" Wooten; they were kids together and grew up "running the same streets" as Dad puts it today. My Dad is 82 and remembers his childhood well. I checked the 1910 census for a James Wooten in Missouri, which you mentioned, but didn't find him. Also, the 1930 census which shows the three Wooten children as living at the Christian Home would indicate they were born in Iowa between 1916 and 1921. I'd think they would be in the 1920 census with their parents, but don't know for sure how long they were residents of the Home. I don't find any James Wooten on the Iowa census in 1920 that fits. Melvin Wooten, age 14 in the 1930 census, would have been born around 1916. Mildred Wooten, age 12 in the 1930 census, would have been born around 1918. Wilma Wooten, age 9 in the 1930 census, would have been born around 1921. If I can help check anything else, please let me know. Mona Sarratt Knight

I know there are quite a few Wootens living in the Russellville and Dover Arkansas area, And that I beleave one of them has given name of James.

The children were Melvin, Mildred and Wilma WOOTON/WOOTEN. The 1930 census shows the children in the home and that the childrens father James Wooton was from MO and that their mother (whom is unknown at this time) was from IA. Something suposedly happened to the mother and I have no clue yet what happened to the father James. I believe that in the 1929 city directory for Council Bluffs he may be listed as help at a Midwest cafe with residence on 6th St. I am working on an old clue that the name FULLERTON may have a connection to these children. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

How interesting. I wish I knew more. I can tell you something that I did forget. The oldest child Melvin was age 14, then Mildred was 12 and the youngest, Wilma was either 7 or 9 in 1930. Through my research I found one family in Atchison Co. MO with a father named Melvin who had a son James that would fit the age bracket. I do not know yet if this is my James or not but it could be since James named a son Melvin. I wish I could find out more about the James Wooton who was a helper at the Midwest cafe in 1929. Keep me in mind should you ever hear anything else that might sound helpful. These children were supposed to have been born in Pot. Co. IA but I had someone look and there were no births for them. I noticed that there was a Melvin Wooton who died in Freemont Co. and is buried there and wonder if this is the Melvin I found in Atchison Co. MO. Its a real mystery. Thanks for getting back to me. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

I'm searching for a friend for her KOLL family. Lillie Mae (KOLL) (COOK) GILBERT was in the Pott. Co. 1920 census in Council Bluffs as: Gilbert, Lillie M., 49, widow, b. IN, father b. Ger, mother b. PA Koll, Frank, brother, 43, single, b. IN, trackman on railroad Grant, Lewis C., boarder, 57, single. Lillie was the daughter of Louis KOLL and Isabella (CALL) Koll. Louis was born in Germany but immigrated about 1850-58, settled in Tippecanoe Co., Lafayette Twp., Indiana, where he married Isabella. However, Louis died in Council Bluffs while visiting his daughter, Lillie, on about April 4, 1931. There was a newspaper notice or letter that told the heirs to his estate to be in Council Bluffs for a probate hearing on September 1, 1934. I'm searching for more info about Louis KOLL or his daughter, Lillie Mae Koll. She may have married a COOK first and then a GILBERT. Lillie died prior to August 1934 and a Walter O. COOK was administrator of her estate. Any help is warmly appreciated! Mona Sarratt Knight

I ready an interesting newspaper article today about the 2001 Canadian census. Because one man objected to being asked his religion type by the census taker, he started a "movement" which ended in over 20,000 Canadians listing their religion as "Jedi." Guess they're all Star Wars fans and wanted to spoof the Canadian government! Imagine being a future genealogist and researching that census!! Mona Sarratt Knight

Mona, Have you watched FoxNews with in the last week?? :-) Portland, Oregon (Multnomah Co.) was going to hire a Klingon translator for their mental health program and hospital. That is until a local talk show host (Lars Larson) brought it to the attention of the people in our state and just yesterday they decided that it could wait. The head of the department actually defended this!! Maybe they could work with the Jedi people?? :-) Constance
