Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11348 Surname: VanAuken, Harvey ------------------------- Hi, I am really excited, that I found this page. My great-great-grandmother is Phoebe Hannah VanAuken, born 21jun1865, married William Tut Harvey, born 17apr1858/60. Marriage was in Vernon, VanBuren Co.,IA on the 15jan1880. They moved to Charles Mix Co.,South Dakota where their first child was born. They had 14 children (I got almost every dates): George Washington b 5jan1881 Platte, SD Clara Belle b 16nov1882 Mt Sterling, IA or Platte, SD Helen Hannah b 27dec1884 Platte, SD Hugh Henry b 12nov1886/87 SD Mary Adeline b 4feb1889 SD Della May b 17feb1891 Platte, SD (she is my gr-grandmother) Susie Rachel b 1jan1893 SD Dewey Myers b 30dec1896 Platte, SD Benjamin Franklin b 29mar1897 SD Jessie Myers b 4jan1899 d 4jan1899 SD Ralph Pete b 5apr1900 SD Harve William b 24oct1902 SD Fern Phoebe b 15may1905 Hazel b 16jan1909 Susie, Della and Mary married three Miller brothers. There is a familyreunion with decedents of those three families every first sunday in august in North Platte, NE. I gonna be there this year. Phoebe died 27may1933 and is burried at the Miller Cemetery near Tryon, as many of her children. If anybody wants to have more details, like dates or personal stories, I am glad to help. I also have a lot of pictures, which I could send via web. The only pictures of Phoebe are when she is already older. As far as I got with Pheobes family, I know that her father is Peter M VanAuken. I neither know her mothers name, nor her sisterŽs or brotherŽs name. So now, that I found this connection, I hope you can help me with Phoebes family. Angelika
