FYI: The following address is for the MO state archives death index 1916-1955. I have searched forever for my grandfather and he turned up here. I typed in just the last name and he was listed. Cost 1.00 plus sase/postage. http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates <http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/>

Hello-- Does anyone on the list have a address for records of White Oak Cemetery in Forreston. Ogle Co web site has the surname listed and David took photos for me. I am thinking my grandfather maybe buried in another part of the cemetery than his parents. thanks, Sue Charles

In re the Peek Home, Mr. Peek was a nephew of John Deere. His mother was a sister of John's wife.

It was not an orphanage, it was for children who's parents were unable to care for them due to poverty, illness etc. There is a book on Peek Home in the library. The Polo Historical Soc. will refer calls to the library. I was also told that Peek Home seems to be a strong point of interest these days, the library has had several requests for info recently. For more info try the Polo Public Library.

Right you are! Research of Levi and Lydia Dietrich turns up a skeleton in their closet. I was visiting with a newly found "cousin" and she confirmed that Charles Hawk was more than just a servant. Charles had stated on the marriage registry ( when he wed Addie Heiter) that his father was Daniel Hawk and his mother's maiden name was Dietrich. (Daniel was married to Rebecca Grove but she was back living with her Dad on the 1870 census and Daniel took off to NB all shortly before Charles was born. I found their divorce recorded in Franklin Co.NB) The Haugh(Hawk) and Dietrich farms were a couple of miles apart in Leaf River (1872 map) and I saw the farms on a recent visit to Ogle Co. In the 1860 census Hegins Twp. Schuylkill Co. PA the Deitrich's have a daughter named Pressilla age 6. In 1870,Prescilla is Cecelia and now 16. Later in life Prescilla is married to Henry Warner and living near her parents in Fenton IA. Through her sister's descendents,there is talk that Charles belonged to Pres. I found a newspaper article telling how ggggCharles died young with Typhoid Fever and the newspaper article said heand his family had been living on the Dietrich farm. Granny D bought his grave and in Granny Lydia's will she leaves money to Charles' two children(Not his wife. Cousin said she didn't like his wife) ....all that to answer the servant question! Now about Nathan Hawk..Is it just coinsidence that they are neighbors. The Hawk line I'm following came from PA and not Maine but I'll watch for the name Nathan to pop up again to suggest some relationship. Thanks for your help and continue your input especially if you find some civil war stuff.

Thankyou Thanks for your response. I'm now looking a little deeper into their lives. I could kick myself! We recently returned from a genealogy trip to Chicago. On the way I stopped at at "cousin's" place in Ames IA and was amazed at all the information she had on the Dietrichs.She has the very documents I'm looking for and I was too timid to ask for copies.She has the full report of Lev's Civil war service(several years as a teamster, imprisoned in Libby, etc.) and also Levi's and Lydis's marriage certificate. By the way my guess was confirmed..Lydia's maiden name is Bixler and mot Bixbee as in the information you sent. I will ask her to mail me the information soon as I am having difficulty retracing her research short of going to PA as she did.
