Dear Listmembers, As I go about my many routines for the holiday season, I think about the many family members I have gained and lost this year. I thought I would stop what I was doing, log on an wish all of you people a joyous holiday season. Maybe some of you are or know people we are related to in one way or another. Either way, I feel we are one big group of people who care about the same thing. So Merry Christmas. May your tummies be full and your stockings stuffed.

I just joined the list. I am looking for information on SADIE WATSON, b. February 28, 1899, died October 4, 1989, and probably her son GEORGE A. WATSON, born August 27, 1921, died December 16, 1995. Their last residence, according to Social Security Death Index is East Moline, Rock Island, Illinois. Is that place in Henry County, Illinois? Does anyone know who I could turn to for help in locating their obituaries? I don't know the population of the area, but how big a job would it be to find their obituaries? John

I remember a christmas in 1950, in Geneseo,when Santa came early. He brought in the presants, then we all set on his lap for him to give us ours. I got a pair of wool pants that year. I just found out 10 years ago that there was a poor family in town, The families paid the father 25 cents to bring the presants from the lawn into the house. This helped that family have a christmas also. I don't know which is the nicest memory. Seeing Santa or knowing how it helped someone else. I hope the children grew up to appreciate the wonderful father. Sally ==== SCSPARTA Mailing List ==== This list is for genealogical and historical research ONLY. We practice the Golden Rule here.

Hi, Stephen, I live at 622 S. Oakwood Ave. in Geneseo and I can assure you the house on Oakwood is still there. Its isn't that large, a small frame home, probably two bedrooms upstairs, and one down. Nice yard, and a wonderful family with a couple of children live there. As far as the one on N. State St., addresses may have changed since there is a newer home in that block, so the address may have been moved to 329. There IS a brick home at that address and the one with the correct address is next door, its a very large frame home made into an apartment house. Behind the brick house, now owned by Jim and Michelle Glazier, is the Grace United Methodist Church. Also, I think the cottages you mentioned may have been on the Rock River, not Creek. Many people in the area have cottages at Shady Beach or Indian Mounds on the Rock River about 6-8 miles north of Geneseo. There were Allens in Geneseo when I was growing up, and I think, (I can check when I get home) a Mr. Allen owned the property where my home is. Mrs. Phyllis Allen lives on Park St., and I think my sixth grade teacher was Miss Morrow. Doris Morrow was a well respected teacher and historian at the Geneseo Library until her death. Let me know if any of this is what you're looking for and if I can be of assistance further. Kathy Minder 622 S.

Sandy That is the reason I am doing the 1870 Census. So far I have only found Christian Jaquet and his family.

He was taken prisoner on May 1, 1863 and was held until the war closed. Upon being released from captivity after the war, he went home to find that his wife had remarried in his absence. They negotiated and she took the son and Evans took the daughter and Evans nor his daughter ever saw Lucy again. Evans married a total of three times. 2 Children: Martha Jane Atwood B: 4-3-1860 James Calvin Atwood B: 10-2-1861 married second: 2) SUSAN WILSON M: 2-17-1867 B: 7-31-1839 Washington Co, AR D: 3-2-1887 Arkansas Children: Robert Lee Atwood born 11-22-1867-had dau.
