    1. [IASCOTT] Re: IASCOTT-D Digest V02 #262 Buffalo Surnames & a note to Cathy Labath
    2. Hi Kathy, You are most welcome. The Buffalo article published May 23, 1976, concluded with a mention of the PTA's Bicentennial project. It was "a coloring book of old Buffalo scenes with sketches by Cindy Whitehead a West High School Senior". I now live in New Mexico but wouldn't it be wonderful if someone could discover this Coloring Book? It also occured to me that others might like to read this article so I will list the surnames-in the order in which they appear in the article: Capt. Benjamin W. Clark Capt. Warner Lewis Clark William Petersen E.A.Mix John Rowan Bowser Bros. Dr. E. Pillsbury Louis Schuh Dorman Lynd Fred Hoffbauer J. Mounts Erastus H. Bassett John Bartberger Charles Frank M. H, Bosworth Theodore Kautz Hugo Hoffbauer S.E. Hastings, J.P. H.H. Cass Max Hoffbauer August P. Richter Burl Frager Ed Bald John Cooper Harold McCullough Dan Bald Allen Olmstead Mrs. Leila Pagel Bill Collins Winnie Jane Pace Elmer Wrage Dominick Ochsner McMurray Ferdinand Bald Chris Zogg Paul Thier Adolph Murer Valentine Rauch John Waspi Jim Farley George Cram Cook Mrs. Emma Harrison Susan Glaspel Dolese Bros. Jig Cook Smith Mounts Mollie Price John Shook Paul Cook Ruby McCullough Sketches of these 5 buildings: Robert Ruden Home-"an early rock house at 636 3rd St." Home of Mrs. Ed Roderwig-"formerly that of W. L. Miller, a Buffalo Postmaster." The Ed Parent Home-built in 1856 by W.F. Kautz- "believed to have been a station for the underground railroad." Home of Josephine Hierseman-built in 1897-later owned by "the Ray Schiederwitz family." The U. S. Post Office-"once a lunchroom specializing in Mexican chilli." To Cathy Labath: It gives the location of Wm. Petersen's Bakery/Tavern as on the west corner of Front & Main. Bet you already knew that. Is it still there? Can you still see traces of the Brick Factory & the Westendorf home on the E. end of town? Just curious. If Kathy price or anyone else would like a quote on the small amount on any of the above surnames just let me know. At most it is maybe 2 lines but still interesting. Jo Westendorf Banks researching: Banks, Collins, Lamping, Muhs, Puck, Rabeling, Sand, Thielvoldt, Voss, Westendorf, Wulf, and Zarnt in Iowa. Collins, Fitzpatrick, Lamping, McManaman, & Halliburton in MO.
