Recently the Great Lakes Golf Club was formed, with the commander as president. A nine hole course, measuring 2,775 yards, was laid out over the parade grounds, and although many of the officers are new to the sport it has proven popular, the club having a membership of thirty-four.

We would like to invite you to revisit The POORHOUSE STORY website (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com where we have just posted a picture postcard of the Co. Poor Farm in Libertyville, LEWIS County. If you have recently visited our site, you will need to click REFRESH on your browser to see the new material. If you are new to the site, DIRECTIONS: at the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE and then click on ILLINOIS on the table of states.You will find the link to the photo near the middle of the page if you scroll down past the one illustration. There are other pages on PHS which can help you gain a better understanding of poorhouses; they are all linked off the homepage (left side) and include: HISTORY page, LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS, and FEATURED ARTICLES. We also archive our (almost) monthly newsletters which review all new postings since the previous newsletter. (You can find the link to these on the left side of the homepage, as well as a link to subscribe to the newsletter on the lower right side of the homepage.) Our information will only grow through the suggestions and submissions of readers like you! If you wish to e-mail me, please do so off-list (because I cannot maintain subscriptions to all the lists to which we post)... and include in the subject line the name of the state and county with which you are concerned. Hope you enjoy! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

Hello, I am searching for any descendants of the following families. Charles WHITEHEAD who had married Susannah PALMER in London, England in 1853 and moved to Avon, Lake County, Illinois following their marriage. The couple had 5 daughters including twins. Susannah's brother Frederick PALMER also born in England went to Lake Co. with them. This family is listed on the 1860 census of Avon, Lake Co. Does anyone have access to a later census please? I am also researching any descendants of Clara PALMER who married a Mr. HOWE. I believe Clara PALMER was born in Waukegan in 1882. Happy Hunting, Jean who lives in Victoria, B.C. Canada.

The Waukegan Public Library has microfishe film for it more than likely, you could print it out, the Waukegan paper back then was called the Waukegan Sun I believe. I have a laminated authentic copy of the Waukegan Sun a day after they dropped the bomb in Nagasaki. I found it in the attic of my house.

That is the day that Grayslake dedicated a new memorial in their park on Seymour Street. My Uncle is on the Memorial. I called the paper and they told me their papers are to fragile to look through. I am hoping that someone can help me out here. Does anyone know where I could locate a paper or article for this occasion?

If I hope I am thinking of the right cemetery, the one I am thinking of is on Grand ave in Waukegan. Union cemetery is made up of two cemeteries, Echo and I believe Congregation cemeteries. The mausoleums were in Echo cemetery. The largest of the mausoleums was leveled about 5 years ago to make room for Celozi Ford's parking lot and I do not know what they did with the remains. Shawn Ford ----- Original Message ----- From: To: [email protected] Sent: 5/30/01 1:35:28 AM Subject: [[ILLAKE]: ] Mauseleum Good Morning, I am researching Andrew Larson, from Waukegan. His obit says he was buried along with his wife Mary in the Mausoleum in Waukegan on Grand Ave. We can find no listing of this place. He was supposedly the first person buried there. My sister would like to visit there. Can anyone help us out. He would be our Great Uncle.

Sometimes things are so simple and right before your eyes. My sister thought it was a different place. I have forwarded your message to her. Thanks so much for getting back to us. Kathleen

Mary Fran, I hope I am lucky enough to get this information. Time will tell. Thanks for writing. Donna

If you can get a copy of the original insurance application by a member of the Modern Woodsman, you will get a gold mine of information. I found a copy of my husband's grandfather's application in some old papers. It had where he was from, when and where he came to the US. His wife maiden name, marriage date and whether his grandparents, parents and syblings were dead or alive and their ages. It gave me what I need to get started on his line. Mary Fran

In a message dated 05/30/2001 11:58:59 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: I wrote to Modern Woodmen of America some time ago asking for infomation on a family member. 1701 1st.Avenue, Po box 2005, Rock Island, Il. 61204-2005. I received a letter from Gail Lewis,Historian, Public Relations. She was unable to find a file for my family member and she suggested I write to Woodmen of the World/Omaha Woodmen Life Insurance Society at 1700 Farnam Street, Omaha, NE 68102 or Woodmen of the World/Assured Life Association at PO Box 266000, Highlands Ranch, CO 80163-6000. She said both of these fraternal benefit societies spun off of Modern Woodmen following a leadership dispute in 1890. I wrote to both of the above just yesterday so of course I haven't heard back. Hope this helps, Donna

Hi, I have read about the Modern Woodsmen and never thought too much about it untill I was trapiesing around the cemetary on Memorial day in contest with my brother to find the oldest death date. Up ahead I said there's a tree stump with a plaque on it. I couldn't believe they's put a plaque on a stump , well the stump was made of stone for the "Modern Woodsmen of the World". It was too neat.
