Never thought about how Ogle Co. got it's name but I bet it has someting to do with the Indians.....and Blackhawk....as Winnebago Co. is after the Winnebago Indians.....White Rock is from the White Rocks, limestone around the area.

Bryn and Jeannie, Katie Yeakle was my grandfather's cousin. My grandfather's brother, who wrote the genealogy notes that I have, probably didn't know of any other name for her. He wrote, however, that she was buried in Lightsville Cemetery near Leaf River, as was her daughter Nellie (Poffenbarger) Wagner. Katie's mother, Margaret Amelia Neff, who married (1) William Yeakle and then (2) Jeremiah Grove, is also buried in Lightsville Cemetery. I'd say it's a good guess that Mary C. is Katie. The dates are about right. Is Walter S. Poffenberger == Scott Poffenbarger? I'm interested in any info on the descendents of Margaret Amelia Neff. The Grove children were: Olin, Henry Albert, Emma May. I don't know where Ulysses "Elias" Grove fits, and I'd like to know more information about Jeremiah Grove (parents? dates?). He was a Civil War Vet. Also buried in Lightsville.

There's one problem with this surname roll-call. It doesn't live very long. People who join the list usually don't go digging through the archives (or do they?), so the only people that we reach with this are the ones that are on the list now. May I suggest that everyone on this list go to the Ogle County surnames list on US GenWeb (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilogle/surnames.htm) and register all your surnames on it. That way, you will reach more people! Regards, Mary S. Neff
