You know, when I wrote the list policies back in 1997, there was no EBAY. I don't have any objections to pointing out if something Henry County related is available through an online auction. I'd rather see the stuff come "back home" so to speak. Just be careful that you aren't bidding against another researcher (this has happened to me before) who would be willing to share the item with you via a scan etc. LOL. List members may mention such items on the list so long as it is just done as a public service. IF however, I find out you are actually the SELLER of the items and are using the list to advertise your sales, that's a different critter and might get ya in trouble. BTW, on that topic, some of you may want to check out a website by Ford and Nagle. These guys are genealogists who rescue old photographs and then sell them. I'm sure they probably make a small profit but it can't be much judging by what their prices are and I HAVE seen Henry County families listed on there. I am not affiliated with them in any way, just pointing out the site as a public service. http://my.erinet.com/~fordnag/FordNagle.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Roggy To: ILHENRY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 7:03 AM Subject: Re: [ILHENRY-L] question on list policy regarding finding Henry County items, photos online auctions?

When you were researching photographers did you find anything interesting about George Goodley, photographer, of Galva? He's one of mine. Here are two obits. which you may put on the website. Carol Kooi Retired Galva Photographer Buried Tuesday (from the Galva paper) Funeral services for George F. Goodley, 69, retired Galva photographer, who died Saturday morning in Kewanee Public hospital after a long illness, were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the Seifert & Smith funeral home in Kewanee. Dr. Loyal Thompson, pastor of Kewanee Methodist Church, was in charge and interment was in Pleasant View cemetery. Attending the services from Galva were Mrs. Earle W. Mundy, Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Mundy, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Goodley and Mrs. R. W. Anderson. Mr. Goodley had been in failing health for about two years and had been in the hospital on several occasions. He was there one week preceding his death. Born in Cambridge Mr. Goodley was born in Cambridge April 29, 1880, and had spent his entire life in this section of the state. On March 18, 1907, he was united in marriage with Nannie Lindblom at Wyoming and they spent a short time in Galesburg About one year after their marriage they moved to Galva and on June 22, 1910, opened a photographic studio which they had purchased from P. F. Myers on the second floor of the block occupied by Bailey's dry goods store, now a part of the LeClaire hotel. The Goodleys occupied the north half of the room and Dr. E. H. Kreis had his dental office in the south half. Three years after coming to Galva the Goodleys established a studio in the small frame building on Southwest Second avenue, a short distance south of the Rock Island depot, where they remained until their retirement in June, 1941. Recalled Early Methods In Galesburg both Mr. and Mrs.. Goodley had worked in a commercial studio, where he studied portrait work and various phases of the business. Mrs. Goodley specialized in retouching as well as studying other angles of the photographic profession. When the Goodleys first established their studio here they depended entirely on sunlight for printing pictures, lacking such modern equipment as automatic printers, flash bulbs, flood lights, etc. Negatives were glass plates on which emulsion had been placed and the exposure averaged from two to three seconds, depending largely on the amount of sunlight. With this length of exposure it was necessary for the subject to remain motionless much longer than before today's high speed cameras. To help avoid motion studio chairs were equipped with head rests or braces. A special sunlight paper was used for making prints from the negatives and with favorable sunlight about a half dozen pictures could be turned out in a half a day. During the pre-Christmas rush season the Goodleys literally "had to make prints while the sun shines." To Kewanee In 1948 After closing the studio in June, 1941, Mr. Goodley was employed about two and one-half years at the Freeburg grocery here and spent a similar length of time as mail messenger between the post office and the Burlington station. In February, 1948, the Goodleys sold their residence here at 519 Southeast Second street to Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Youngberg and moved to Kewanee, where they had since resided. Both Mr. and Mrs. Goodley were members of Galva First Baptist church and he had served as deacon several years. In addition to his wife he is survived by a half-sister, Mrs. Earle W. Mundy, and a half-brother, Glenn Goodley, of Galva. There are also two brothers in Bradford, Ed and Woodward. George Goodley of Kewanee, Native of Cambridge, Passes (from The Cambridge Chronicle) George F. Goodley, 69, of 513 Fifth Avenue, Kewanee, former local resident, died at 9:45 Saturday morning in the Kewanee Public hospital where he had been a patient for a week. He had been ill two years. Mr. Goodley was a photographer in Galva 39 years, retiring in 1941. He was born in Cambridge April 29, 1880 and married Nannie Lindblom March 18, 1907, in Wyoming. He was a member of the Methodist church. Survivors are his wife, a sister, Mrs. Earl Mundy, Galva; three brothers, Glen, Galva; Ed and Woodward Bradford; nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Mrs. Charles Anderson and Mrs. Mary Zillian. Funeral was held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday at Seifert & Smith funeral home in Kewanee. Dr. Loyal Thompson, pastor of First Methodist church, officiated. Burial was in Pleasant View cemetery.

When listing the items I find on eBay, to avoid any potential issues, I am not mentioning eBay in the subject line, nor am I listing auction #, price, contact emails etc. I am just going to list the title of the item and a description and the names mentioned. And most of all I am not posting any links to the item. Furthermore, I am not going to personally or have anyone else post genealogical merchandise for me. I am not going to list anything posted by someone I might know (unless they are someone from our mailing list and I happen to see it) I think that the items are of too much importance not to list, but I want to make sure everyone knows I am in noway profiting nor benefitting from the items. Also if I do find something I am going to bid on myself, I am not going to list that item to avoid any potential conflict. It is very easy to search for items on eBay so I think by the description people should be able to locate them. I think that if I follow the above it should avoid issues and also be acceptable to the majority of the list. best wishes to all... Stephen

On eBay there is a souvenir booklet dated 1920-21 for the Mount Hope School in Atkinson, Henry County, Illinois. It has a photo of the teacher Arthur C. Helg and the School House Here are the student names: BOXSTAL, Herman CALSYN, Anthony CALSYN, Marie CALSYN, Marshal CARLSON, Carl CARLSON, Edison CARLSON, Helen CARLSON, Marjorie CARLSON, Verbena DANIELS, William DE BILECK, Annie DE BILECK, Helen DE BILECK, John DE BILECK, Lizzie HAGBERG, Arthur MC KIBBON, Archie MC KIBBON, Ethyl TUSING, Warren VAN VOOREN, Alma VAN VOOREN, Annie VAN VOOREN, Charles VAN VOOREN, Frank VAN VOOREN, Fred VAN VOOREN, Peter Here are the names of the School Board DANIELS, John (President) CARLSON, Ed (Clerk) MC KIBBON, John (Director) Hope this is of interest, Stephen

What is the list policy for sharing items found on eBay that are for sale? I check this weekly for Henry County items and often see photos with names, school directories, land deeds, marriage certificates, and other important items up for sale and often no one gets them and I doubt many people even know what is out there. I dont sell anything on there and hate to see family treasures that are so identifiable go unnoticed or still lost with people who have them but no connections to the county. Every time I search I get this guilty feelings if I don't mention what I see but I also dont want to violate the list policy either. Thanks for the response... Stephen

Right now for some reason I can get incoming but no outgoing mail (perhaps someone upstairs has my delete key held down to keep me from having another tantrum...) I'm having to use our ISP's web based server to answer mail so bear with me. I'm gonna try and cut/paste and answer several in one. ----------- From: Ddhamm@aol.com I would be happy to volunteer to help anyone with their images that they want to upload to the website. I am a graphic designer and if you want help with how to resize scanned photos to optimize them for web use, please contact me. We can either have you send them to me or I could try to work with you on how to use your own photo editing software to do this. DeeDee --------- Boy what a great offer and you have no idea how glad I was to see that one. One of the reasons it takes so long for me to get photos posted is that most of the time I have to go in and resize each one, clean them up, etc. It is a little time consuming and this is a wonderful offer of assistance from Dee Dee. THANK YOU!!! ---------- From: Baldwin <baldwinman@yahoo.com> My big holdback is I am intimitated on how to do this. How do I do all the submitting. Also I have scanned my photos at a high resolution creating in depth but large memory size jpegs.. What do I need to do in this case. Can I submit as they are or will I need to rescan everything? I also have not transcribed many of the bios I do have from the various books out of fear that someone else is in the process of it... Should we contact you before starting to let you know what we are working on? __________- Each introductory page of the site (cemetery, bio, obit, photo album, etc) SHOULD (if I didn't miss one) have a designated link for submitting your info. As for the bios, right now other than about 3 which came in today, the site is up to date on what we have. If it is not listed, nobody that I know of is working on it, with the exception of those brief bios from the 1877 History Of Henry County Taxpayers and Voters. It would be nearly impossible for me to keep track of everyone sending messages saying "I am going to transcribe Mr. Smiths bio". However, if you are going to do a whole BLOCK of bios (such as "I am transcribing all the bios from p. 100-150 of XYZ book"), that I would like notification on and will note on the biography intro page that they are in transcription and will be coming shortly, to keep others from duplicating them. I see your photos have arrived so I guess you figured out how to send them (GRIN) As for the resizing, Dee Dee (see above) has offered assistance in that area. If someone just can't get them resized, go ahead and send them but it will take me longer to post them as I will have to resize them first. ----------------------- Hope I have answered some of the questions. I have a previous commitment to another site I sponsor tonight (non-genealogy site for an old Tampa band from the 1970's) to be in a chat session so I won't be able to do any more on the site tonight.

Susie I have 3/4 of the 1860 Henry Co. Census transcribed and proofed and 100 pages of the 1870 Henry Co Census just done I am slow but get there. If you want them now you can have them and then update them as I get more done. How do I copy a family group sheet without a scanner? Sally

Susie Thanks for the work you do! I understand how much work these projects are, and how much love of genealogy it takes to get in and do this sort of thing. I like to help others as much as I can. I subscribed to the list recently, and do check the website as well. However, I am just discovering my James and Nancy Ann Holmes Wiley family in the Henry County area, and have no information to submit as yet. I did check with a volunteer who gave me some wonderful help! Thanks so much! Gayle

Susie, I think you have been doing a great job, and I for one have not shown how much I appreciate the work that you have done for us! I am sure that there are very few of us on this list that would take on the project that you have just completed for our benefit. We take it for granted, and you definately deserve more respect from each of us! You were very clear about asking us to check our email address, contact you with any changes, and so forth, and if someone neglected to do it, they they should have no complaint against you now as far as the changes not being made! I'm going to be the first to admit, that I took your email in a bad way, but after understanding where you were coming from, you had every right to sound off! It's like being a housewife, LOTS of hard, never ending work, and VERY little praise! Please know that the update is fantastic, and you have done a great job! We all have to let off steam sometimes, so feel free to give us a tongue lashing when we need it! When something positive comes out of it, then it's well worth it. Like my daddy always told me "If the shoe fits, wear it, if it pinches your toes, then it's time to do something about the situation!" Keep up the good work, and the new site is wonderful to get around in! Jan
