Debbie McArdle..... You wrote Have you any other photos with the following surnames from Karnak / Belknap / Vienna area: > WARD > MORSE > EDWARDS > BEGGS May I ask which Johnson County "Edwards" family are you interested in? Regards, Rebel Kreklow

Once again I have been looking through old pictures. I have several that I would love to pair up with families. Most of the pictures were probably taken during the late 1800s to early 1900's. Let me know. Thanks Mara Picture of: 1. Harry Carter Sr., Harry Perkins, and Bev Parker. 2. Allard Farris 3. George Burris 4. Graduating Class of Charles Jones Huffman, picture probably taken about 1898/1899 when he would have been 16/17. 4 women and 4 boys and one male who appears he may be the teacher. 5. Lt. Ward Chapman 6. Bertha Veach 7. Hugh Wallace 8. Robert, Fan, Ned Looney 9. Martha Louise Boren 10. Martha Louis Harbrecht 11. Will Jackson, Charlie Huffman, Ernest Moore. 12.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 25 April 2004 Vol 3 Issue: #17 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, One just never knows what will be learned while reading his mail! Spring -- the time to renew things -- spring cleaning, etc. We aren't the only species to involved. The blue satin bower bird of New Guinea mixes charcoal and berry juice, and with a piece of bark for a brush, paints the inside of its nest blue. Further reading this week has turned up so much information that I feel I'm in "overload" mode. On this date in 1874, radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi was born in Bologna, Italy. On this date in 1965 Edward R Murrow, broadcaster died. Yesterday was the 70th birthday of a schoolmate of mine; a very funny lady from Ohio who graduated from Washington and Lee High School near our nation's capital and went on to become a great movie personality. And, no it wasn't Barb[a]ra Streisand, who is almost decade younger. It is my school mate, Shirley Beatty. Another birthday of note this week was that of Queen Elizabeth II on last Wednesday the 21st of April. Also on April 21st, but in 1838, John Muir was born. It is not difficult to romanticize this man's life. At age 73 he traveled 1,000 miles up the Amazon River in South America. Wow, what a naturalist ... what a curious mind. Three years later he died of pneumonia in the desert of San Bernardino County, California, while visiting his daughter. John Muir had a fantastic love for nature. His friend, Ralph Waldo Emerson, said that he was a naturalist "more wonderful than Thoreau". In addition he was a master of geology, he was an explorer, philosopher, artist, author, editor and friend to many prominent people from Presidents to colleagues, such as John Burroughs. Though born in Scotland, Muir spent his teens in Wisconsin, then a wilderness. Like others that I have known in my life time his mind was always active. For example while cutting trees and clearing land he worked out mathematical problems. He used wood chips for something to write on. While recuperating from an eye injury, Muir took off for a long "tramp" to observe nature. In 1868 he walked to from San Francisco to Yosemite. The Sierras were to be what he returned to after each of his trips to various places of this world. He discovered a glacier in Alaska which has been named Muir Glacier in his honor. It was in 1911 and 1912 that John Muir journeyed a thousand miles up the Amazon River in South America studying rare trees, plants and land formations. April 21st also stands out for the passing of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. His obituary stated that the "End Comes Peacefully at His New England Home After a Long Illness". It was said that his last words were "Give Me My Glasses". A reader to the very end. He had been ill for some time and on the morning he died he seemed to have increased in strength enough to enjoy the sunrise with his hands clasped behind his head. As his family gathered he greeted and spoke to each of them. After reading some from Carlyles"s "French Revolution" he slipped into sleep and lethargy. Then as the evening sunlight turned to red he drew his last breath. One further mention for tonight .... last night our daughter and son-in-law treated us to a concert in celebration of our 50th wedding year. It was Chip Davis and the Mannheim Steamroller. Chip Davis is a native of Sylvania, Ohio. So he was performing for the "hometown audience". Two great hours of musical sounds. Their new "Infinity" is really something to enjoy and to wonder. We were supplemented with video of some awesome outer space wonders. Another wonder was the second encore. The audience had given them a resounding "standing" ovation, but at the second encore the audience, as one, were on their feet, for the Mannheim Steamroller was playing the National Anethum. e-la-di-e-das-di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Trying to establish contact with someone who is researching Simeon BERRY and family. Simeon came from Kentucky in the early 1850's, and died there in Johnson Co in 1880. I could not locate a paper death cert in Johnson Co, but there may be one in Williamson Co. Anyone researching Simeon, please establish contact. Sincerely Jeffrey www.tracingtrees.com

Thanks so much for all this wonderful information. The 1880 census of "Raxdale" is my gr-grandparents. I do not know if this Joel is the son of the Joel Ragsdale listed in the 1850 census. Would sure like to find a connection. I believe the Thomas in this family is the one that married Nancy Escue. Frances ----- Original Message ----- From: "James R.

Sharon, thank you for this information. I know there was a daughter in Joel Ragsdale family named Amanda, but unless she married a cousin her married name would be different.

Pope and Massac were both once a part of Johnson weren't they?

Ragsdale is across from Lake Glendale. The earliest graves there were around early 1800s..... The first Anderson in the area is buried there...Jacob and Drucilla. There are also McCools. I think the last buriel was about 1940. Sharon

I have a list which I can pull out. I haven't noticed anyone named Ragsdale there before. Perhaps Ragsdales owned it at one time. I'll let you know what I find a little later today.

John, the Joel and Elizabeth Ragsdale buried in Hillerman are my gr-grandparents. They had a daughter named Emma, but the birthdate listed on this one doesn't fit. The others may be related but I do not have enough information at this time to fit them in. Thanks for your response. Frances ----- Original Message ----- From: "John M.

Hi-I have a few Ragsdales in my line, as my Aunt Dora Escue married Herbert Ragsdale in Johnson co, IL . He was son of William Ragsdale and Etta Smith and had siblings Morley, Fonzo, Leah, and Blanche-- that is about all I have.

Mary, thanks for your response. There is a Thomas Ragsdale who married Nancy Escue. I'm not sure how he is connected to my line, may be brother to my Joel. They were all married in Johnson County so there must be a connection there somewhere. Maybe we can work out some details later. Thanks.

Hi Sharon, I haven't been able to find much on my Ragsdales in Illinois. My gr-grandfather and gr-grandmother are buried in Massac County. My grandmother married a McKinley in Johnson County and they left Illinois after 1900, went to Texas and then came into Oklahoma about 1902 before it became a state. I haven't any information on her siblings. Do you have any names or information of those buried there? Thanks for your response.
