Wonder if anyone on the list is familiar with Gus Rausch or his family. He was born in Wisconsin in 1862, the son of the Rev. Carl Gustavus Rausch who became pastor of the German Evangelical Church in Galesburg in 1870. Gus married a relative of mine, Emma Howe in 1894 and spent about 10 years in Monmouth, before returning to Galesburg. He and his wife lived at 285 East Simmons Street. No surviving children. He owned a cigar store Gus died in 1923 in Galesburg and is buried at Hope Cemetery. Gus's siblings (according to his obit) were: Mrs. Clara Wenzel, Henry Gensert, Mrs. Julie Smith of Yates City, Mrs. Minnie (or Mamie) Gren of California, Mrs. Emily Kennedy of Galesburg. Two others were deceased: Mrs. John Wachs and Paul Rausch. Joyce Steffel Chicago, IL

I have a question or two. Do we really know you are an Amy? Are you "reselling" these pedigrees? Anyone considering this should be very careful not to include "living persons" as that could be very dangerous with all the "identify theft" out there! Just a word of caution!

Can anyone send me the address for the circuit court of Knox Co.? Do I need the name of the officer ? I want to send for a copy of an estate file. Thank you Mary Carris

I am looking for the burial location of a Manfred Delano Ratliffe. Supposedly, he died in Seattle, Washington and it is possible that he was buried in Galesburg. Could someone please check the cemetery listings in Galesburg for him? I believe he died in the early 1970's. Thank you, Lesli

Thanks to all of you for all your help. I have sent what I have found to my friend. I am off to the library today to see if I can find out anything from obits. The Famulener art collection at Knox College was donated by a grandson of William, so I am wondering if he donated the scholarship, too. I really appreciate all the suggestions that you have sent me. Ruby was a married to a descendant of a brother (I suspect) of William. There were two Famulener brothers who settled in Knox County, William and Jacob. There is a file on World Connect that has a lot of Famulener information in it, but not much on William. Again, I really appreciate all you have done, and I know that my friend appreciates all the leads, too.

Joyce, Have you checked the SSDI? Rubie C. Famulener died 6-17-2003, last listed in Galesburg. Janet Famulener July 1971 in Abingdon, IL. I bet they have obits in Galesburg at the library. I see you have a winco.net email so I think you know where these towns are. if not let me know. What census years have you looked at? I find Wm Famulener, 85 years old is still living, found in Cedar Township, Knox Co, IL 1910. I find the family in Knox Co from at least 1870-1930. I assume this must be the namesake of the foundation. 3 Famulner's in 1910 next door that look to be his sons. 1930 census indicates Ruby was the wife of Kenneth M. Famulener. They had 2 daughters in 1930. Janet Famulener looks to have never married. She is found in 1930 a daughter of George. Illinois marriages and death index indicate this family was in Knox & Warren Co for some time. Depending on what year the foundation started, she could be the initial starter of the foundation, given she was a single woman on her death .

Hi Margaret , One Answer to your McGrew child is he could had been in the house visiting when the 1860 census taker was there . My Grandmother told me of a story where a little girl followed the census taker to each house . So she was in everyones household . And since you found a McGrew close by that could be his family.
