Illinois Terminal was a railroad company. My uncle use to work for them as a railroad traffic guard . Can't remember the true job title. He worked from a tower controlling which track the trains ran on. A firehelper, would have been someone who stoked the fire, with wood or coal. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Lynde126@aol.com> To: <ILMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 7:38 PM Subject: INDUSTRY or BUSINESS > I just received my g/grandfather's Record Of Funeral from the Funeral Home > where he had been laid out at, Smith Funeral Home, in 1943, and in the space > for Industry or business, the Funeral Director wrote in: ILLINOIS TERMINAL. > Does anyone know where the "Illinois Terminal" is, what is it, and is it > still in business.

I just came back from the library where I went to get information on Anaheim California since I am spending two days there next week. Anyway looked up Illinois Terminal and found a book listed called Illinois Terminal, the electric years by Paul Stringham. Color pictures on page 263 and Bilio on 256. That was the only content. I also remember when I used to work in Chicago that there was a building I passed that housed all the railroad retirement information. Not to long ago on another list someone found that address and website and was writing there for information. Sorry I cannot help more that that. Helen in wet and warm LasVegas.

Thank you Arlene Lynn

http://www.aal.org/LutheransOnline/mboard/genealogy/ A good place to look for information needed regarding Lutheran - Also --<http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~geishome/churches/denoms/lutheran/germanevan lut.htm>

I checked the Granite City, Madison IL telephone directory and Illinois Terminal Railroad and it is no longer listed. Arlene In Granite City

No, Illinois Terminal is not a funeral home or a prognosis of a disease. It is/was (?) the Illinois Terminal Railroad. It ran passenger interurban trains from St. Louis via Venice, Madison, Granite City, etc to various Illinois towns including Alton, Springfield, etc. They also had freight service but I don't remember much except that they seemed to have a big railroad yard between Madison and Venice. It's probably been gobbled up and renamed like all of our banks by this time. I no longer live in Granite City, having settled in northern IL after WWII.

Maybe it is the Illinois Terminal Railroad.

Does anyone have a copy of the MCGS Cemetery book with an inventory of Paddock Cemetery near Moro. Looking for Zena WEBSTER and PADDOCKS. Thank you Roland Bauer, Collinsville

Dottie: Glad to hear from you. Mad. Co His Soc. and Edw. Lib, which houses the collection of the Mad. Co Geni Soc., will have the info. Several years ago Charlie Rinck, a local member, indexed the surnames in all the Mad. Co Histories and that would be the place to look for Websters, Flaggs and Paddocks. Can't find my copy. Must not have put it back in the right place the last time I used it!!!!!!!! I envy you at the L O at this time. There is a woman in Troy, a graduate librarian and certified genealogist, who is the best around to do research for you or with you. She is well qualified and a charming person, and good personality. Don't know what she charges but I think it would be worth it to you. Ms Joy Whitson Upton 503 A Lanahan Troy. IL 62295 618/ 667-6855 If you choose her , I can send her the info that I have found. So much for now. RB Dotte Schneider wrote: > Just a few words to say THANK YOU!

TOP FIFTEEN ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE U.S. (1990 U.S. CENSUS) German--23.3% Irish--15.6% English--13.1% African American--9.6% Hispanic--7.0% Italian--5.9% Franco-American--5.3% Polish--3.8% Native American--3.5% Dutch--2.5% Scots-Irish--2.3% Scottish--2.2% Swedish--1.9% Norwegian--1.6% Russian--1.2% SOURCES FOR DETERMINING ETHNIC ORIGINS Home Sources ~ Census Records ~ Naturalization Records ~ Passenger Lists ~ Printed Biographies, Genealogies, and Family Histories ~ Surname Sources GENERAL REFERENCE BOOKS FOR ETHNIC STUDIES One of the most definitive and useful background sources for almost every ethnic group is Stephen Thernstrom's, "Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups" (Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1980). It assembles the basic information about the multitude of people who make up the population of the United States. It is a succinct, authoritative synthesis of the origins and histories of 106 ethnic groups, with twenty-nine thematic essays, eighty-seven maps, and a critical bibliography for each section. ~ Paul Wasserman and Alice E. Kennington, eds., "Ethnic Information Sources of the United States," 2nd ed., 2 vols. (Detroit: Gale Research Co., 1983) assembles in one source, information about the various ethnic groups that comprise the U.S. populace. The work is intended for use by individuals whose ancestors or relatives belong to particular ethnic groups, and by students, educators, librarians, and others interested in learning about distinctive ethnic lines and the countries from which they are drawn. It is also for those who require information about the details of history, culture, customs, values, politics, and problems of ethnic groups in the United States. Topics and resources include standard ethnic sources and research institutions, as well as more obscure information (such as embassies, ethnic fraternal organizations, ethnic newspaper collections, dealers of ethnic books, and ethnic museums) that may be especially useful for genealogists. "Ethnic Information Sources" indicates, for example, that the American Irish Historical Society (http://www.aihs.org/) maintains a library of more than 25,000 volumes on Irish history and genealogy and the Irish in America. ~

Guess my timing is off--should have posted the query before telling everyone to take a chill pill <g>. Looking for info/documentation regarding George HULME, b ca 1822 in London, Eng. Reportedly entered US at New Orleans ca 1842 without family; married in Madison Co IL on 24 Apr 1843 to Nancy Jane HAGLER (1828-1859 Madison Co ILL). He served in Co D, 42nd IVI (pension papers on order) and died 9 Feb 1900 at Jackson Co KS. Any information gratefully appreciated and gladly shared. Thanks for your time... Tacy A Arledge

I just received my g/grandfather's Record Of Funeral from the Funeral Home where he had been laid out at, Smith Funeral Home, in 1943, and in the space for Industry or business, the Funeral Director wrote in: ILLINOIS TERMINAL. Does anyone know where the "Illinois Terminal" is, what is it, and is it still in business. His occupation states he was a "Fireman Helper". Or was Illinois Terminal another name for Fire House? He died at home in Madison County in Alton, IL. SMITH FUNERAL HOME is now ELIAS-SMITH FUNERAL HOME. Thank You Lynn

Just a few words to say THANK YOU! I am very grateful to all those of you that sent messages in regard to my questions about my G/g/g/grandfather Webster/s property. I am much encouraged that I'll be able to find more information when we are there to visit - very soon. Just wanted you to know that I appreciate your time and effort. Again.....MANY THANKS!

As a brand-new subscriber to this newsletter--who seemed to come in during the flurry of emails that exploded--I have a few thoughts. However, must of them are directed at the ones who quickly hit "unsubscribe", so they won't see this. It only takes a few seconds to read everything that went thru, and all of the ones that were "re: test" were very short. More to the point, some of them had some good info in them and small tidbits that were of big help to me--even though they weren't directed to me. It is also very easy to forget that replies go back to the newsletter, and not the individual when it is the individual's name that comes up on your screen--I know, because I have done it myself. So to all those who contacted me regarding the Renfro and Deck research--thank you very much. For Marennad and Hepgrannie, I say right on and thank you very much as well. And for all the complainers--take a chill pill. Life is too short to grumble over messages that take 3 seconds to read and might help a dozen other folks in their research.

If this location is Township 22 North and Range 13 West, then it is in present day McDonough Co. If you go to the Illinois State Archives at: http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/arc_home.html and choose Public Domain Land Sales and then the How to Determine Location of Land, you can download a map with all the Townships and Ranges designated.
