    3. Lyde, Thank you very much for this information. Since I never knew my grandfather, this was very helpful. Now I just have to figure out how I can get a picture of him.

    3. Hi, Christine I don't know if this will be of much help. You might want to check the possibility that the family was still in Illinois shortly after William's birth. I have the 1860 Illinois Census Index on CD. Unfortunately, this index does not give age or birthplace, so it's difficult to pinpoint individuals. It does not list family members, only the heads of households. Here are possibilities for Jacob/Isaac Snyder/Snider: Name: Snider, Isaac Year: 1860 Gender: Age: County: FRANKLIN CO.

    3. I am seeking information about William B Snyder born 22 Feb 1858 to Elizabeth Wensinger/Wenzinger and Jacob or Isaac Snyder. Elizabeth and Jacob or Isaac were reportedly born in Switzerland. I have two completely different stories about what happened after William was born - either Elizabeth and her husband died, leaving William to be raised by a bline aunt (name unknown) or the family moved to St. Joseph, Buchanan County, MO. His death certificate says he was born in Fulton, IL, but that line says to put in either the city, town or county, and then the state. Whiteside County folks have no record of him, so I thought I might check with the Fulton County folks. I need a birth record to clarify the father's name, among other things. Thank you.

    2. Todd Walter
    3. It's been a long time since I have been on the list. I posted these a couple years ago, but thought I'd do it again so Alice can pick up on them for the website. They are from my great grandmother's scrapbook. Although I haven't been on the list I was keeping up with the archives. Todd in Knox County, IL London Times, London Mills, IL 1890 Mrs. Catherine Cowman, _ _ _ born in Highland Co., Ohio, February 3rd, 1817, and was married to David Cowman, September 10th, 1835. At the age of 12 years she was converted and joined the M.E. church of which she remained a faithful member until she was called to join the church Triumphant, on the 30th day of May, 1890, aged 73 years, 3 months, and 27 days. Mr. and Mrs. Cowman came to Illinois, June 1st, 1838, and soon after moved to the farm where they continued to reside till her death. Mrs. Cowman was the mother of eleven children, four of whom preceded her to the other shore. There are still living three sons and four daughters all of whom are married except the youngest son. On Friday morning Mrs. Cowman called her children to her bedside one by one and told them she could not be with them long and earnestly exhorted them to meet her in heaven. With her children she leaves her husband and many warm friends to mourn their irreparable loss. The following is a letter written by Mrs. Cowman on the day of her Golden wedding, and was found in her trunk at her death. "This is the tenth day of September. To-day we have been married fifty years. I have been studying and thinking away back to the days of my youth, and I have nothing to complain of, but I do feel to praise God for his goodness and his mercy. It has been over fifty years since I started to serve God and I feel that my feet are upon the rock, that 'the Lord is my shepard and I shall not want.' Oh! how I do feel to praise the Lord for the prospect that I have of meeting my loved ones. I have four children who have gone on before. My daily prayer is that we make an unbroken family." ***** London Times, London Mills, IL 1898 DAVID COWMAN One of the earliest settlers of Fulton County passes away. David Cowman died at his home in this place, Monday morning, April 25th, 1898, aged 82 years, 6 months, and 11 days, after a breif illness from pneumonia. The funeral service was held at 10 a.m., Wednesday in the M.E. Church, Rev. Richard Haney of Monmouth, assisted by Rev. Welsh and Rev. White of this place, officiating. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in London, and it was a long procession that followed the remains to their last resting place in the cemetary at Midway. David Cowman was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, Oct. 14th, 1815. In 1832 he with his parents settled in Ohio. There was that he was married, Sept. 19, 1835, to Miss Catherine Combs. They came to Illinois in 1838, settling that same year on a part of the farm east of town which he owned at the time of his death. To them were born 11 children, seven of whom, together with a large number of grandchildren and great grand children, still survive. The living children are: Eliza Ann wife of Henry P. Mosher; Mary, wife of John Combs; Mandy Ellen, wife of Cyrus Betterton; Lydia Jane, wife of James Thurman; General L. Cowman, John L. Cowman, and Frances N. Cowman. The mother of these children died May 30, 1890. On Sept. 10th, 1891, Mr. Cowman was again married, this time to Rebecca A. Welch, who survives him. Uncle Davey Cowman as the deceased was familiarly styled, was a man of sterling integrity and great force of character. He was a strong man in every sense of the word and has been a part of the history of the settlement and developement of this section of country. He has been an active member of the Methodist church for nearly sixty years, a man of unwavering faith, and a power for good in the community. His has been a long life of active service, and he has passed to his rest and reward. The portrait of the deceased shown in this article is from a photograph taken a number of years ago, and is a splendid likeness as many of our older readers remember him. ***** Galesburg Paper July 16, 1938 Cecil V. Combs London Mills Funeral services for Cecil V. Combs were held Tuesday afternoon fron the M.E. Church at 2 o'clock, Rev. R.W. Van Alsyne officiating.

    3. Hi Jim and Everyone, I would like to ask everyone to please refrain from any more political- or legislation-related postings on our ILFulton genealogy list. Even though of course politics and legislation affect and concern us, there are better lists available for these discussions and information sharing. Let's keep this list on the specific topic of Fulton-Co. genealogy. Feel free to email me personally with any questions or complaints you might have about this policy, which by the way is pretty standard for most regional ILGenWeb lists and list admins, not just this one or me. No need to clog up our list email with your responses to me or to Jim.

He and his wife are buried in a small graveyard on a farm owned in 1929 by Clarinda Connell Zoll (his daughter) and the wife of Henry D. Zoll. The cemetery is located in Farmers Twp. about two miles from the farm on which Sarah Connell made her home in Illinois. James brother, David, who never married, as well as Clarinda Connell Zoll and her husband Henry Zoll are buried there. James Mother, Sarah Magruder Connell is also buried in the ZOLL family cemetery. Mary Baumgardner, who did the research on the Connells was descended from James Magruder Connell. Her mother was Ella Connell, who was married to Rees W. David. Original records were kept in a 6x10x18 Walnut box left by James Connell to his descendants. It contains copies of deeds, notes,,etc. many of which had been the property of Solomon Connell, and a few of James Magruders. Owned in 1929 by Mrs. Winifred D. Brown, who was the gr.daughter of James (James, Ella, Margaret Winifred). She was b. 1882, m. Arthur Brown 1898., lived in Illinois, 1929. It is said she also had the Connell family bible. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has any research into these families. Doris Doris F. Williams [email protected] http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/i/l/Doris-Williams-MO/
