My family has several old albums and we are trying to identify our relatives in the photographs. We hope to do this by finding out when the photographer was in business. The following are photographers that we need to find out when they were in business. 1. My family has several tin type photos that N. D. Davis took of relatives, that we are unable to identify. On the back of one of the tin types is the following inscription: N. D. Davis, City Gallery, Cor. State & Frist streets, Geneseo, Illinois. Another says: N. D. Davis, Photographer, Geneseo, ILLS., and a 3rd says: N. D. Davis, Geneseo, Illinois. We need to know when this photographer was in business in Geneseo. 2. My family has several tin type photos that J. N. Greene took of relatives that we are unable to identify. On the back of one tin type is the following inscription: Photographic Gallery of Art. J. N. Greene. Corner State and North Streets, Geneseo IL. Another photograph has this inscription: Green�s Art Gallery. Corner of State & North St., Geneseo, IL. And another photograph has this inscription: Gallery Green�s Block, Geneseo IL, photographer. Need to know the time period this photographer was in business in Geneseo. 3. Seeking information on Stevens Portrait Photographer, Corner State & Exchange St., Geneseo IL. Need to know the time period this photographer was in business in Geneseo. 4. Seeking information on J. R. Brown, Corner State & Exchange St., Geneseo IL. Need to know the time frame this photographer was in business in Geneseo. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

> Is this the same book? Does the title start with 'The' or 'History I'm no librarian, but it seems to me that "the" is usually dropped when indexing, otherwise too much gets filed under "T." "The" is disregarded by most search engines and thus, particularly in a computer environment, you are probably better off omitting it. It is "understood." -rex

I need some assistance in determining the names of these documents, listed as the 'source' for the Henry County web pages. As mwntioned earlier, I am creating a family tree database of the people listed in the bios in the web pages. The people are linked to various events, dates, locations, and sources. When completed, I will create a searchable databas and a gedcom of the information, I am not one of the 'volunteers', and this is a project that I decided to work on, to perhaps make it easier to locate people mentioned in the web pages. The resulting files could be made available in Mac and PC formats upon request. But I need to resolve some differences in the naming of documents. the following enteries appear different to a computer database: 1. Henry Co 2. Henry Co. 3. Henry County The look the same to you and me, but different to the computer. By resolving this minor problem, all pppeople linked to the documnt (or location) will show uo in chronoligical order in the appropriate place. Any assistance is appreciated.

Results of another OCLC database search: There are seven relevant entries, all of which look to me to relate to a single original publication. Two paper format reprints, two microform reprints, and three indexes on microform. The "primary" entry bore this title in the catalog: "History of the state of Nebraska containing a full account of its growth ... of its early settlements; its rapid increase in population, and the marvelous development of its great natural resources. Also an extended description of its counties, cities, towns and villages ... biographical sketches, portraits ... views." This is a 1506 page book originally published in 1882 (according to the catalog entries). Rollie

Does the title start with 'The' or 'History'? I looked up this book in the OCLC database. There are nine different entries for it, plus an entry for an index to the biographical sketches. Of the nine, six start with "The", three lack "The" in the catalog entry. They all appear to me to be the same 1877 589 page publication or some kind of copy of it. None of the entries give the full title of the book; it appeared that the closest to that was "The history of Henry County, Illinois: its tax-payers and voters; containing also a biographical directory, a condensed history of the state, map of the county, a business directory, an abstract of every-day laws, war record of Henry County, officers of societies, lodges, etc., etc." To get a definitive answer, I think you'll have to look at a copy of the actual book yourself.

I found this in the 1885 Portrait & Biographical Album of Henry Co., IL. I don't know if it's what you're looking for or not. pg 672: John H. Allen, druggist at Cambridge, was born Feb. 9, 1843, in Shelbyville, Ind. In ancestral descent he is of Scotch-Irish origin, his earliest progenitor having been that race. His grandfather, Isaac Allen, came from Scotland to Virginia, and settled there and raised a family. One of them, John Allen, born in 1805, removed thence to Shelby County, Ind., where he married to Martha Higbee. She was a native of the State of Kentucky, and was of German descent. Six of their nine children are now living. In the spring of 1850 John Allen removed his family to Mason Co., Ill., settling in Havana, where the lives of his parents terminated. Mr. Allen, of this sketch, was educated in Havana, and at the opening of the Rebellion enlisted in the 11th Ill., Cav., and served four years in the army. Since that time he has been engaged in different mercantile pursuits, for the last eight years of which he has been engaged in the drug business, having been engaged in that business six years in Ipava, this State, and two years in Cambridge. The marriage of Mr. Allen to Lovina Marty took place at Havana, Ill., and their children are named Emma A., Mattie E., Hattie F., Clara M. and Eugene W. Mr. Allen is a Republican in political views and a member of the A.O.U.W. and Masonic Order. Fred and Jacquie Schattner wrote: > I have a little information about an Allen family in Florid, IL.

Hello list, I'm looking for the burial place of Ann Pease, wife of Edward W. Pease. Ann died at the age of 35 in Kewanee. The Pease family lived in Kewanee from 1855 until Ann's death. Can anyone tell me where she might be buried? Thanks, all. -- Alice

David, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, but page 257 of the 1885 Portrait & Biographical Album of Henry Co., has a bio on Henry, and it has the same dates & marriage as what you listed below.

I'm not sure if I have sent this properly. I have a query aboyr Henry L. Kiner, I am working on a family tree database for the Henry County folks. I am in the process of entering names and vitals, and came across Henry L. Kiner. His vitals are as follows: Henry L. Kiner, b. 1 Feb. 1851 at Schafer's Valley, Perry County, PA. Parents: William Kiner and Margaret Calhoun. Married June Howard, 7 June 1881 in St. Louis, MO. The book titled, "History of Henry County, Its Taxpayers and Voters, 1877", page 201. Kiner, Henry L., Editor Henry County News, Geneso; born in Schafer's Valley, Perry County, PA,  Feb. 1851; came to IL in early life; educated at Farm Ridge Seminary, LaSalle Co.; commenced professional journalism at the age of 17 as a contributor to the Northwestern Avocate, of Chicago. This appears to be one in the same. Is there a source to verify this? Thank you, David Blish
