Chapin Pct, Village of Chapin 1900 census Agee, Nancy - head of household, white, female, b July 1840, Ky, widow, 4 children, 3 living, father b England, mother b North Carolina Agee, JW, son b 1872 - clergyman Agee, HD, son b 1878 - school teacher May possibly have another child James R married to Mary Carpenter. I am looking for information about this family. I believe Nancy's husband was John Agee born in Robertson County, Tennessee (1838) and listed as working for the railroad in the 1870 Scott County census. The other family members belonged to the Baptist Church. The H may stand for Horace as this was a popular family name. Nina Hollifield Jerome, Idaho

The Keplinger pictures and the Miller picture were provided by Larry and are part of the "miracle". The Henderson picture was shared by another list member and not part of the first group.

Pat Henderson. One of our list members has been researching his Keplinger line. A truck driver found a box of old pictures in a trash bin along a Muskogee Oklahoma turnpike. He was familiar with Geneological research and researchers, so retrieved the pictures. In January he posted a note on GenForum about the Keplinger pictures ( several of them had Keplinger names on the back). Larry found the notice, retrieved the pictures and at least the 5 which are identified turned out to be his ancestors. Over 100 years after the pictures were taken in Jacksonville, Morgan County, Illinois - then lost or thrown away along an Oklahoma turnpike all these years later, they've found their way home to family.......a miracle I'd say. He is looking for help in identifying the Miller picture (the name is on the back), but he hasn't been able to discover yet who the man is, though he is probably a relative. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing obituaries, tombstone pictures, family photos, etc. I love having you all participate in helping to make the MAGA web site better and more helpful. Am waiting to see who will share pictures/obits and help determine the next cemetery I redo, adding the additional documentation - everything someone shares means one less picture to take or one less obit to try and find. Enjoy and thanks again to those of you who have been sharing. Shirley

Hi List, I strongly believe there is a family connection to this GOLLIER family and my GOLLIHER/GALLAHER lineage. According to Henry GOLLIER's obit in Pike Co. IL newspaper he died June 5, 1935 at his farm home southwest of Pearl, IL. Henry GOLLIER was born Sept 20, 1849 in Germany and was the 3rd son of John & Catherine GOLLIER. He came to America at age 2. He married Mrs. Evelyln CARTER BAIN on Aug 26, 1874. She was the daughter of David and Sarah SILKWOOD CARTER and born May 26 1847 and died May 29, 1922. They had 7 seven children: George, Sadie, Lee (lived in Midvale, Idaho), Addie LAUX and Will (of Pearl, IL), Eva SMITH and Inez McCANN (of Jacksonville, IL). Evelyn had tow son from previous marriage: Gus BAIN and Lorenzo Edward BAIN of Carrollton, IL. Henry GOLLIER had one known sister, Eva of White Hall, IL. Any one with information regarding this family group please respond. Thank you for your time. Judi Rogers Gilker
