I am looking for any help or suggestions in order to find out about what happened to my Grandfather Thanks very much, Eddy A. Flick Historical Time-Line For Roy Joseph Varble aka Roy V. Flick Born 25 December 1884 Roy Joseph VARBLE at Carrollton, Greene County, Illinois. 19 December 1893 was residing at the Greene County Illinois Almshouse. We do not have a record of when he left the Almshouse? Roy is thought to have been in Adams County, IL in 1895 working on farms.( Maybe with John KISTNER & his wife? ) Roy FLICK listed as a pupil on list for Center School District # 1, Richfield Township 1900 Federal Census: Roy VARBLE age 15, listed as a boarder, living in the home of John FLICK and Emma KISTNER FLICK Went by Roy V. FLICK after 1910 ( His life with his first wife Adelaide Hessing ) 1910 Federal census: Roy FLICK-occupation: driver for laundry company. 1910 Roy FLICK residing 116&1/2 7th Street 13 April 1910 Roy marries Adelaide HESSING 1910 Roy residing at 1428 Elm Street 20 April 1910 Roy Baptized at St. John The Baptist Catholic Church 23 April 1910 daughter Virginia Caroline FLICK born 24 April 1910 Virginia Caroline FLICK dies 21 July 1911 son Paul John FLICK born 22 June 1913 daughter Mildred Bernice FLICK born 1914 Roy residing at 1328 Elm Street 1914 a Roy FLICK residing at 707 Broadway and listed as student. 1916 Roy Flick listed as laborer in city directory. 16 February 1916 sentenced to 3 months in workhouse. ( His life with his second wife Sallie Hickerson ) January 1919-August 1919 - Maybe went to Colorado and Oklahoma with Sallie? 6 September 1919 Sallie HICKERSON FLICK dies ( obit says survived by husband Roy FLICK ) ( His life with his third wife Minnie Jewell ) 13 February 1920 Roy marries Minnie Myrtle JEWELL Roy living with Minnie in a houseboat on the Mississippi River at Quincy February 1920-August 1920 - Roy brings another woman to the houseboat. She had two kids with her. This must have been Adelaide, Paul, and Mildred. Minnie leaves him. She finds out after she leaves him that she is pregnant. 26 August 1920 Marshall FLICK born at Quincy, IL ( My dad ) After Marshall's birth, Minnie moves to Springfield, Illinois. Minnie supposedly divorced him but we have never found a divorce record. Roy supposedly tells his son Paul that he is going to Canada. After 1920 Roy has not been found anywhere.

The first thing I did when seeking information on my grandfather, James Hewitt, who lived in Kansas when he deserted his family in 1892 was to find a newspaper item detailing his departure, He had taken a load of grain to his home town Robinson, Kansas, put his wagon & horses to the livery stable, purchased a train ticket to the next town. On the train he purchased a ticket to Grand Island, Nebraska, but left the train at Fairbury Nebraska. From there I know not where he went. However the courthouse in Brown County Kansas showed that he was being sued for money that he borrowed. Since then have I have learned that James Hewitt was in the 1880 census in Quincy Illinois living with an uncle and aunt, Lewis & Julia Coder and his parents are Oliver P. Hewitt & wife Phoebe Chapman the daughter of William Chapman also of Quincy. I have received a response from one whose family raised James Hewitt which helps to fill in some blanks. Can anyone supply information on the Hewitt, Coder or Chapman families residing in Quincy before & after 1880? Thank you! Margaret

I am hunting for anything regarding Roy V. Flick, my paternal grandfather who deserted his family c. 1920 and told his oldest son that he was going to Canada. I shall be posting various items on here in coming days in hope that someone from Quincy or who is familiar with that area may offer suggestions of how to move forward in my search for what may have become of him. This question involves what would have been the easiest route to Canada. Would he have went up the MIssissippi River? He did work on riverboats at times. What would have been the requirement in 1920 to get into Canada? Thanks, Eddy A. Flick

Hi Libby, Yesterday you found Ralph Howard in the Stewart cemetery for me and now I need to know if there was an Abraham & Rachel Howard along with Harley W. & Ada Howard? Am sure they are buried in Adams County. Thanks. Roberta Summers ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I will be going to Quincy next Wednesday or Thursday. I will see what I can find regarding the Saathoff, and Schoen names that you've requested. Just out of curiousity, what is Nachrichten and Boyken?

Hello Linda When you have a chance, could you check to see if there is anything known about a death date and cemetery for these two people --- Borchert Jansen Schoen, b. 05 Nov 1808, migrated at age 57 in 1865 to Adams Co. Illinois. His wife was Etta / Margarethe / Margaret Habben Schoen, b. 01 Jun 1817, Germany. The 1870 census indicates Berget J. Shon and his wife are at Keokuk Junction, Northeast Twnshp. I cannot locate either of them in the 1880 census so am wondering if they died 1870-1880. Their son John, b. 1844 Germany, d. 1923 Adams Co. Illinois is listed in Boyken, however Borchert and Ette are not in Boyken, so maybe they died before 1882 (first publication of the Nachrichten/Boyken). I have seen the Schoen name spelled as Schoon, Schoen, Shoon, Schone. I have seen the name Borchert, spelled as Berget, Burchardt, Burghard, Boerchert . . . Borchert and Ette Schoen might be in the same cemetery as son John, but I don't know. Thanks for your help, have a nice Easter weekend. Diana --------------------------------- Be a PS3 game guru.
