I am looking for information regarding Ruleff S. Hood, who apparently taught school in the Perry County area between 1830 and 1850. Ruleff was born and educated in Utica, NY according to a biography about his son Andrew Fuller Hood, who was mayor of Durango, Colorado. Does anyone have any information regarding the schools during this time frame and possibly the school masters?

My grandmother's albums had photos of the following list of persons, most young married couples or teens, around the year 1890. Most are from Red Bud and Hecker (Randolph and Monroe), but I believe that some of these persons might have been from Pinckneyville, where my grandmother may have lived for a brief time as a child with Schmulbach/Jaimet. If anyone has ties to these individuals, and would like to inquire about the photos, please contact me. m clark Florence Heberer Jacob Gambach Louisa Gambach Charley & Marshal Hill Raymond Rogers Agnes McConnell Linda Stahlheber Hendricks family (2 sons, 1 daughter) John Ruhls daughters Anna & Lula & husbands Lizzie Muench Georg & Mary Boll Viola Mohr Lena Mohr Willie & Lena Boll Christen Voges Melba (?)

What might have been an evangelical and reformed congregation in Pinckneyville during 1860-1900? I'm looking for some death records of that era, and wondered if the church there might be of any assitance today (probably a United Church of Christ today). thanks, mkc
I saw on a website posting about Perry County collections that there is an 1890 census. Is it true that Perry has census records for 1890 in this County? (I thought all 1890 records were destroyed in a fire. Please educate me!) thanks, m
I accidentally deleted the email that listed the two newspapers in Steeleville that "had been around for eons". Could someone post that again? I appreciate it. Janene Crawford San Jose, CA

Does anyone have a good list of the newspapers published in the Willisville, Percy, Campbell Hill area of IL in the early 1900s. I'm specifically looking for some obits from 1912 and 1922. Both individuals lived in Willisville and are buried in Percy. Any and all help appreciated. Joel [email protected] Cary, NC

Hello everyone, I sent this out last fall and thought I'd send it again for any new members of the lists. I have a large collection of old family photographs that were handed down from my grandparents. Most were identified, but I've posted the ones that weren't at the following website. Please stop by and see if you recognize anyone. Thanks!! http://www.mindspring.com/~jsruss/unknowns/unknowns.htm I apologize if the page is a somewhat slow to load, but I wanted to keep as much detail as possible in all of the photos. Joel S. Russell [email protected] Cary, NC (Born where Randolph, Perry and Jackson meet)

Hello I am trying to find family of Fred W. Jones and his wife Margaret. Fred died in 1950 and is buried at Bethel Cemetery in Swanwick, IL. I believe they had one son named Warren. I have been told that they used to own a filling station in Pinckneyville and that his wife worked for the mines. Her parents were Jasper and Nancy J. (Cooper) Thomas. Also looking for her sister Alice J. who married a Samuel Rednour. If any of these names connect with your line would like to hear from you. Sharon
Hi, I'll see what I can find on my next trip to Pinckneyville. I get there once a week or more.

Seeking information regarding C. A. BALDWYN and Nettie MEISCHKI who were married Oct. 6, 1901, Perry Co., IL, Vol. B, Pg. 48, License 536. Also seeking information regarding Thomas William BOLDWYN and Mary E. BALDWIN DOYLE. A search for Thomas in the "Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763 - 1900" at http://www2.sos.state.il.us/cgi-bin/marriage brings up a curious listing stating to see Mary E. BALDWIN DOYLE and referencing a marriage of Feb. 17, 1880, Perry Co., IL, Vol. B, Pg. 37, License 84. What was Thomas's relationship to Mary? Who were the bride and groom for the referenced marriage? A listing for a marriage between Michael DOYLE and Ellen BALDWIN, Apr. 7, 1872, Cook Co., IL, Vol. 77, License 2249, can be found at the same site. Thomas William BOLDWYN, b. ca. 1862, Wales, and his second wife Mary Jane CROWELL, b. ca. 1879, IL, were my great-grandparents. They were married Dec. 15, 1897, Jackson Co., IL.

The U.S. Geological Survey has maintained an archive of their older maps; topographic, hydrographic, etc. They have been using their older maps to help produce their new maps. Many of the details about cemeteries, rural schools, churches, roads, railroads, and buildings may still be found on the old maps. You must contact the U.S. Geological Survey to obtain the current details about older maps which have been archived on microfilm. The microfilm is available for purchase. I don't know for certain, but I suspect there may be federal repositories where they may be used on the premises. The National Archives and selected repository libraries may have some or all of the collection. Some years ago, I purchased old USGS maps to supplement the current editions I was using at the time (i.e. pre-Internet days). Note: Illinois has a law protecting the old family cemeteries from being damaged or destroyed by mistreatment. If it is established that a cemetery existed/exists, concerned individuals and the Illinois authorities may be able to rescue, preserve, and restore whatever remains. Good hunting...

Charlotte, I too agree on how do they get their information. I have been searching for a site here in Montgomery County for months. It shows on all the maps but I have walked acres of land and haven't found it yet. I plan on asking my ex-brother-in-law the next time I see him (want to show him the site) about these maps and such.

http://www.topozone.com/find.asp Ok ... where does this data come from.. I just went a step further and found "cem" written where a cemetery does not exist ... the Pokorney cemetery on the farm my Grandparents rented while building their house on the adjacent 40 acres .... however, no graves have been visable for years because the people who pought the Pokorney Place several years ago have allowed their cattle to run the hill and the little iron fence and all gravestones were destroyed years ago. so I ask, how does this "map-place" know there is a cemetery there?
