I have received notification that the Wapello County web site has moved and has a new look. Please change your links to http://iagenweb.org/wapello I assume that queries posted to the new web site will continue to appear on this list. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Bill Hansen, Listowner Wapello County Discussion List Ottumwa, Iowa

Geoff, I checked the index for the Ottumwa courier for the years you mentioned and there is no obits listed for these persons in that newspaper. I did find a couple of things in other documents that might be of interest. Nathan(iel) Sands is buried in the Agency cemetery with the inscription "died October 17, 1882 aged 72y 10m 23d" Sarah Sands is also buried in Agency cemetery with the inscription "died February 15, 1885 aged 73y 10m 22d". Note that there is a discrepancy between what is listed in the WPA records and what is actually recorded on the tombstone. Other records indicate that Nathan and Sarah had at least 7 children. 1) Henry A. Sands born in Tennessee on 24 Aug 1835; died on 12 Nov 1857 and buried in Agency cemetery. 2) William Sands born abt 1833 in Tennessee and died on 4 Apr 1899; also buried in Agency cemetery 3) Ann Elizabeth Sands born in Tennessee in abt 1837 4) Parthera Elizabeth Sands born abt 1842 in Tennessee . She married Francis Duncan on 13 Oct 1864 in Wapello county. 5) Zacharia M. Sands born Oct 1848 in Iowa, died 1927; buried beside Henry A. and inscription is on same stone. It appears that he never married and lived with his sister Mary. 6) Martha E. Sands, born abt 1851 in Iowa. She married Calvin Duncan on 20 Apr 1882 7) Mary Francis Sands, born Dec 1854 in Iowa and died in 1941. It appears that she never married and lived with Zacharia. She is buried in Agency cemetery beside Henry and Zacharia with her inscription on the same stone.

The public is welcome to search the files in person if they wish but, you must call a head of time to make sure that the office is available to the public for search. The office isn't open to the public full time. In my naturalization records for Wapello County Iowa, I have CONRAD BURCK as being naturalized February 03, 1886.

Harper Author: Marilyn Thomas Date: 11/5/2003 at 11:16:47 Surnames: HARPER,THOMAS,WISE I have posted the obituaries of Thomas Harper, Mary Ellen Thomas Harper and Sarah Harper Wise to the Wapello County Genealogical web site. In additon to the information previously provided and the information contained in the obits, I would add the following. Most is from the records at the funeral home. Thomas J. Harper was born on 9 Sep 1857 in Harrison County, Missouri. He died on 9 May 1933 in Ottumwa, Wapello county, Iowa. He was buried on 11 May 1933. In the funeral home records his father is listed as Richard M. Harper, a native of Tennessee. His mother is not listed. Mary Ellen Thomas was born on 3 Sep 1870 in Harrison county, Missouri. She died on 14 Feb 1938 in Council Bluffs, Pottawatamie county, Iowa. She was buried beside Thomas on 17 Feb 1938. The funeral home lists her father as Alfred Thomas and her mother as Elizabeth Ann Thomas. It is possible that the birth places are wrong, since there is indication that they may have actually been born in Harrison township, Mercer county, Missouri. Sarah Harper was born on 11 Oct 1895 in Agency township, Wapello county, Iowa and died on 20 Aug 1934 in Ottumwa. She married Niles Edward Wise in abt 1912 (I can't find a marriage record for her). She is buried in the same plot as her parents. Niles Edward Wise was born on 15 Sep 1891 in Wapello county, Iowa, the son of Edward B. Wise and Matilda Rutter. He died on 23 Sep 1979 in Ottumwa. On 14 Aug 1935 he married Annetta Denlinger (born 13 May 1906; died 23 Apr 1987). Niles and Annetta are buried in the Ottumwa cemetery. I took a quick look at the obituary for Niles Wise and there were no children listed. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
