Anyone know what years this store was in business and what years they sponsored a boys' baseball team from their children's dept.? I have a picture of 10 boys in their uniforms. Must be in the late 1890's. Would love to identify some of the boys. Sure one was my grandmother's brother, Willie Allen. He later was a jockey for Evalyn Walsh McLean (Hope Diamond owner). Thanks, listers Donna

Hello all - I spoke with some of you back in February about my wanting to come to Dahlgren for some cemetery visits, but I decided not to due to the late snow this year. It looks like I'm going to try to make another attempt next weekend (April 7th). So now what I really need are directions to help this St. Louis city boy find Bethel and Richardson Hill cemeteries. Can anyone help me out? Thanks, jim

Mourning McCoy, the wife of Joseph McCoy, died 23 Sept. 1845 "in the 49th year of her age." She is buried at Sugar Camp Cemetery, North Side. Is anyone on the list researching this family? I believe Joseph remarried 6 Aug 1853 in Hamilton County, but I am interested in a birthdate and parents for Mourning. Thanks. Shirls

Mariah is a different person. > Peg But that doesn't mean that "Catherine" could not have been a middle name (or vice versa). Who do you have listed for Catherine Oglesby's parents? The only parents possible for Catherine & Charles Oglesby, that I can see, are Jesse & Juliet (Karnes) Oglesby She died at the home of her brother Chas. (#2 obit below). The only parents that Charles & Catherine (Mariah) could possibly belong to are Jesse & Juliet (Karnes) Oglesby. She is buried in Smith Cem. with her brother John Walker who states in his obit he was born in Saline Co (again verifying the 1850 census).. Tracing this family from Saline Co 1850 to Ham Co 1870 census, she is Mariah K(atherine) age 4 in 1850, Mariah C(atherine) age 14 in 1860, and she is "Mariah" age 24 with John L. and her two children Berry and Lucy, and her brother Charles age 18 (he's age 8 with his parents in 1860) lives next door with the John Anderson family in the Ham 1870 census. Mariah Catherine marries John in 1863, files for divorce in Feb 1897, and she dies in 1903 (need to see if devorce was final). From an obit of a younger John Redfearn it says he is s/o John Rredfearn and 1/2 brother of Berry and that he was about 39, indicating a 2nd marr. at about 1899 for John Sr. (or Jr. was illigitimate?). When does your Redfearn researcher say that John Sr. married Anna Pittman?? Could this be the mother of this John Jr.?? In 1901 John Sr. marries Artemissa Darnell. There is a divorce filed in Sept 1903, could possibly be between Artemissa and John?? In 1906 John marries Sally Garvin. Mariah's father, Jesse Oglesby was in Co D of the 6th Calvary from Ham Co and was killed in 1864, 14 months after Mariah married John. The family (Jesse's) is scattered by the 1870 census. Jesse's pention records should have the necessary info to prove who Mariah is. These are the only four marriages I see possible for John Sr., unless I missed some tidbits:-). Again I reiterate my earlier statement that Mariah & Catherine are the same.... but that's just my humble opinion<g>....

All the court clerks from Logan County KY to Henderson Co, KY to Union Co. KY to White CO IL to Hamilton County IL spelled it Mourning. But that was because she was always sad when she had to try to get a government clerk to actually do anything (yes that is an uncalled for jab at clerks but you all know its true). However her family obviously considered her to bring a very welcome brightness into every day since the Irish stone cutter James McGilley (married to her daughter Mahalia Anderson) chisseled her name as "Morning" on her tombstone as can be seen at the following web page. http://www.carolyar.com/Illinois/Bios/Anderson.htm Patrick J.

Hello Everyone, I don't post very often but I was wondering if anyone had access to the statewide marriage records for Illinois. I live in midwest Wisconsin and can't get down there myself. I am looking for a marriage record for my grandparents, who are both deceased. We believe they were married in 1937 "because they had to". We also believe that it was in and around March to May that they were married. My grandmother would have been 17 and my grandfather 21. Their names are Lafie aka Lewis James and Nancy Madelin(e) Austin. Their birthdates Lafie 28 Aug 1916 and Nancy 30 Nov 1920. Their parents names were Lewis Austin and Anna York, Andrew R. James and Sarah E. Sprinkle (maybe Springle). If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you time. Michelle James QTPIE97173@aol.com Researching::Perry County Indiana......James, Goffinet, Sprinkle and many other branches of the tree that seem to never end.
