In the Apr 1930 census, widowed 79y old Sim WHITSON was a lodger in the home of Charles M. and Elizabeth McROBERTS in Pomona Twp., family 152. At Gregory-Minton cemetery in Pomona Twp., Samuel WHITSON is buried next to Clarence, Norman, and Peter McROBERTS. I wonder if someone from the McROBERTS family could have erected the gravemarker for Sim, thinking that his name had been Samuel? If so, they also got his birthdate wrong. Simon or Simeon WHITSON was born 13 Oct 1850, not 13 Oct 1860. Simeon or Simon is listed as Sim in the Illinois State Death Index: WHITSON SIM N/S UNK 0000323 1938-09-11 UNION Tom Shawcross ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karima" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 10:06 PM Subject: Re: [ILJACKSON] SIMEON (SIMON) WHITSON > Hi Mary, > > Samuel WHITSON, Oct 13, 1860 - Sept 11, 1938 (not written Simeon in > cemetery transcriptions) > Gregory/Minton Cemetery, Pomona Township, Jackson County, IL > > Hope this helps, > > Karima > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mary Riseling" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 7:31 PM > Subject: [ILJACKSON] SIMEON (SIMON) WHITSON > > > > Looking for someone with transcripts from the Gregory/Minton Cemetery, in > > Pomona Township of Jackson County.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 16 November 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #41 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, "Things I learned while looking for something else": [the late Sidney Harris, Columnist, Chicago Tribune] Death, funerals, and cemeteries are topics that have all played a major part in my life of late. I don't seem to get away from them while reading either. Now, that is not all "bad". This week's readings took me to some gravesites of some very interesting people, as well as, to a very interesting place ... across the "pond". For example, Silas Garber (1833-1905) who was born September 21, 1833, was a member of University of Nebraska board of regents from 1875-76; and Governor of Nebraska from 1875-79. He died January 12, 1905 and is interred in the Red Cloud Cemetery. Red Cloud was the terminal point for the tickets to America purchased in Switzerland in 1879. Charles Robley Evans (1866-1954) -- also known as Charles R. Evans -- was born in Illinois, in 1866. He became U.S. Representative from Nevada at-large, 1919-21; but was defeated in the 1920 election. He died in 1954 and is buried in Waco Cemetery, Nemaha county, Nebraska. Robert Wilkinson Furnas (1824-1905) was born on May 5, 1824; became a member of the Nebraska territorial legislature in 1856; he was also a member of University of Nebraska board of regents from 1869 to 1875; Governor of Nebraska, 1873-75. He died on June 1, 1905 and is buried in Brownville Cemetery. Furnas County, Neb. is named for him. Lucy Hayes, the President's wife, was known as "Mother Lucy" during the Civil War for her care giving while at the camp with the then General. However, Mary Ann Bickerdyke was also known as "Mother" for her service as a nurse, surgeon, and administrator on the battlefields of he Civil War. She was noted for cutting through army "red tape" to get supplies to the Union men. She was born in 1817 and died 8 November 1901. She is interred in Linwood Cemetery, Galesburg, Illinois. George Armstrong Custer, who is famous or notorious in several states including Ohio, Nebraska and South Dakota is buried in the West Point Cemetery, US Military Academy, West Point, New York. He was moved from the shallow grave on the highest point of the field at Little Big Horn. However, my interest was perked with the idea that he had more than twenty horses shot from under him in during the civil war. I'll bet there was lots of conversation among the horses about whose turn it was to carry the "general". At the Battle of Little Big Horn, the sole survivor was Comanche, a mustang who saw action with the Seventh Cavalry. He survived twelve wounds. He recuperated at Fort Lincoln, nearly 1000 miles from the battle field. As a result of his survival he became a symbol and was excused from further military duties. Thus, he was never ridden again in the line of duty. He was mounted and is today displayed in a humidity-controlled case. I guess that the man who holds the record for "cheating" death is Eddie Rickenbacker. He is interred in Greenlawn Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. Eddie said that he had cheated death 135 times before dying in bed at the good ole age of eighty-two [July 23, 1973]. He was given the Air Force's version of the Army's riderless horse; four jet planes shot into view and the first pulled straight up while the others went on in the missing leader formation. Near Cleveland, Ohio in the community of Valley View, a few folks banded together to commemorate a small plot of ground in memory of a farmer, John HARPER and his family. The 20 x 40 foot piece of ground contains members of the Harper family and several men who lost their lives while helping to dig the Ohio Erie Canal. Also, in Ohio, the Hessville Cemetery, in Sandusky County, hosts the grave of John BURKHARD. John Burkhard served in the American Revolutionary War and died in 1847, at the age of 93 years, 4 months and 12 days. His stone has engraved on it, "A SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUUTION & A MEMBER OF WASHINGTON'S LIFE GUARD." Now it is really something to have a member of Washington's personal guard in the Black Swamp of northwest Ohio, but what caught my eye was the fact that John Burkhard, was born on 21 August 1753 in Switzerland, the country native to my Nebraska ancestors. The Burkhards settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania. A place where I've been searching for other members of my Swiss ancestors. One has to watch old movies and know Bert Lancaster, the actor, to know who Robert Franklin Stroud is, unless, maybe that you live in Metropolis, Illinois. That southern Illinois city on the Ohio river sports the body of the respected ornithologist. Mr Stroud spent fifty-four years in prison to learn all that he knew. Many know him as the "Birdman of Alcatraz". This may be the wave of the future. In St Andre de la Roche, southern France, there is a cemetery which has gone "high tech". It could be a fore-runner of things to come. Via the touch- screen computer, folks can read a biography of any of 4,000 deceased persons buried there. Also, a detailed map will direct you to the gravesite of that person. That is not all; you can leave condolences electronically. Local taxis service and funeral parlor information is available. I'm sure that enterprising entrepreneurs will think of things and/or services to add. I envision florists and hotel/motel [bed and breakfast establishments] to name but a couple. Wouldn't it be nice if some folks living near our cemeteries would place such wonderful information about those buried in them as did the folks in southern France at the St Andre de la Roche cemetery. Some People might say, "Who would want to be 90?" And I say, "Anyone who is 89." [Attributed to Phyllis Diller on "Larry King Live"] In closing, I have a question to ask of all you family historians: Are you doing the "write" thing? :) e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

In 2002 GENTECH strengthened its infrastructure and expanded its role by becoming a division of the National Genealogical Society. Each year the conference has featured a panel of nationally known speakers who have addressed themselves to every aspect of the use of computer and Internet technology to support genealogical research - to meet the needs of advanced users as well as those just beginning to use technology in their research. This year there will be a special Librarian's Pre-Conference at NGS GENTECH Thursday, January 22, 2004.

Kathryn; Running with the information Tom has so kindly provided, I would suggest this (it has worked for me many times): I would look up the exact date of death, or at least month and year for John Connor AUSTIN, Jr. and his wife in the SSDI, then contact the public library where they resided, Cape Coral, FL. You can easily do a search for library in Cape Coral and likely will get a homepage with an email address. Email them and ask if they have back issues of the local newspaper on film, and if they do, if they would kindly do a lookup for you of these folk's obits. If not, ask them to let you know where the back issues are archived and who might be willing to do a lookup. Usually volunteers will do this for free. The obits should give you the names and towns of residence of their children, or other nearest relations. Good luck!

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 9 November 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #40 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Will minimal apologies, I admit to lollygagging about this week and not doing an article for distribution. As it happens in life, death sort of takes over, and I have had my share of friends and family passing on these past few weeks. But, however, I am of the age where this happens. We spend a lifetime observing the growth of families and gaining new friends. Then we observe the decrease of these two circles. At any rate, I spent the week lollygagging about celebrating and taking care of the necessary business of supporting my wife in the death of her Mother. And, as family gathered there was a lot of celebrating. Now, one just cannot be expected to concentrate on heritage articles under those circumstances ... so, I didn't. I took the time to celebrate with family. In the final years of her life, my Grandmother Oliver would say that she had no friends left to mourn her passing because they had all passed on before her. Well, that is not unexpected if you life to be one hundred two and a half years old when you die. On Thursday we hosted the visitation of friends and family at the funeral home. We spent much time nodding our heads up and down [in the affirmative] listening to the tributes from representatives of the various organizations Mom-in-Law had contributed time and energy to which to lead and accomplish many "good works". The family told favorite stories of "Mom", "Grandma" and "Great-Grandma". The laughter and "knee-slapping" was wonderful to hear and see. As always during funeral services, many folks are too emotional to speak, however, there were a few brave souls who ventured forth with their remembrances and tributes. Following the services at Thelma's Church, the "family reunion" continued with more stories and picture taking. >From three extreme corners of this country the family gathered. Besides the three children and spouses, ALL ten grandchildren were in attendance and all but two great grandchildren were there to participate in the remembrances. When we, the family, returned to Thelma's apartment to choose remembrances, a fantastic thing took place. Heirlooms and pictures were chosen on the basis of what was best remembered about our matriarch. The real miracle was observing the tremendous diversity of this woman who affected our lives, for each had different remembrances. She must have treated us all in such a way as to count us all as individuals — family, DRAKEs All — but, also distinct individuals. The Minister in his opening remarks said words to the effect that there were words such as shy, un-opinionated, and non-assertive, but those would not be used "today". And, "... that it only took 30 seconds to identify Thelma's children." Therefore, Rest in Peace: Thelma Pauline Lindsey Drake 8 November 1911 - 3 November 2003 e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Each county map may include the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms * and much, much more The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas, and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary.
