Gail, I used to live in Rockford. I lived right by the Auburn Street bridge. My house was on the river there. Wow, I was raised (partially) in Rockford. My parents and family lived in Rockford, but because of problems, I spent a lot of time in Pine Creek & Polo & Dixon with my family. They have farms there. B >>> <ILOGLE-L@rootsweb.com> 5/6/98 12:09:05 PM >>> Good morning, well almost noon!!! They have and discuss every Boone. Lots of times the e was dropped. They have the Boone's direct back to England and before....some in Germany, I think. I just unsubscribed from the list as the mail was over whelming and until I find more information on my Eleanor, I got tired of reading all the stuff over and over and had little input. Of, course the Boone's tie in with 'ol Abe Lincoln and Eisenhower, and Eleanor Roosevelt and lest we forget 'ol Daniel himself. A little about myself. I was born in Rockford and my paternal grandparents came to the US in 1909 from Germany. My grandfather came first in January and went to Oregon, probably Rockvale Twp. to Jacob DeVries who was his uncle. My grandmother and five children came in July and to Oregon and they farmed the area. My father was born outside of Byron, one uncle near Leaf River and the girls were born in the area as well as a couple of other uncles. There were twelve kids in all and the youngest was born near Cherry Valley. On my maternal side, my gg grandparents Beer came in the 1880's from Germany and they lived in the Lindenwood, Holcomb areas and my great grandparents Groen also came in the 1880's and were in White Rock. My great grandfather Groen was the caretaker of the White Rock Cemetery for 30 some years. My g grandfather Nottelmann came in either the late 1890's or early 1900's from Germany. The Nottelmann's are from near Hamburg and the Groen's, Beer's, DeVries, Meyer's are all from Ostfriesland but my grandparents Meyer had lived in Wilhelmshaven area of Germany. My mother was born in White Rock and most of that side of my family is buried in White Rock. That is where my mother will be buried. That's about it for me......

Bryn, See it is a small world, not really. Dr. Kirkpatrick, a Vascular Surgeon, lives here in CG too. He graduated from West in 60 and I would have graduated from East in 60 but we moved to CO in the spring of 59. Spent a lot of my summers near Oregon where my great grandparents lived, near good old Blackhawk. I love that old statue, always wanted to go in and see all the pennies. Also, do you remember driving from Rockford to Oregon on Rt. 2 along the river. You used to see along the river doors that went into the ground or the banks and probably went to the houses, tunnels, and I remember hearing that that was where they kept the slaves during the day who were running to freedom and then back to the river at night. I used to think how I would like to go and check out one of those tunnels. We lived near the river in Grant Park.....out by the airport. We were never allowed near the river. My grandfather drowned in the river and his body was found out by the Cederquist farm past the airport. But, kids will be kids!!! What my mother doesn't know won't hurt her. Got to run.......memories, I love them...and I am sure on this list there will be a lot.

Mary, This was funny as last night I was doing so more reading to see if I had overlooked anything on George Cook and found out that he was in partnership with another man in a furniture store in White Rock.

Lydia Delight FULLER was born in Rochelle, Ogle County on August 16, 1864. She was the daughter of Charles R. FULLER and Sarah COOK. Charles Fuller was born about 1842 in Bradford County, PA but at some time he emigrated to Ogle County, probably while still very young. He married Sarah COOK on August 17, 1862. He was a veteran of the Civil War, serving in Company H, 92nd Infantry, Illinois Volunteers. In the 1870's,after the civil war, he moved further west, eventually settling in Glen Edler, Mitchell County, Kansas. The Cook family moved on to Nebraska. If anyone out there can help me with the Fuller or Cook family while they lived in Ogle County, Illinois, I would be very grateful. It may be possible that Joseph ALLEN also lived in the Ogle County area because Lydia Fuller and Joseph Allen's son Ethan married in Kansas and both families came from Illinois about the same time. Thanks in advance for any help or advice! Mary Allen Roanoke, VA

If my g aunt was born in 1887, then George would have been born around the same time. My g aunt was born in Germany and was a typical stubborn German and they got a divorce or he died as she married again. There are still children of her two son's by George still living.

Since Charles Fuller and Sarah Cook married in Ogle County, I'm assuming that they moved as young homesteaders probably after the Civil War. I do know that at one point, there was an article in the Glen Elder newspaper, that Lydia Fuller Allen went to McCook County, Nebraska to "visit her Grandfather Cook." I have someone checking in Nebraska on that to see if I can find out the grandfather's first name. I'll let you know if I find anything. Mary Allen
