I just uploaded my wife's Gedcom to Rootsweb. It's not complete yet - especially Marriage data. I've got 580 of 1450 names entered. ILPIKE names present include DEAN, COHENOUR/COUGHENOUR/GOGHENOUR, CONKRIGHT, LIPCAMAN/LIPCAMON/LIPKMAN, DOUBLEDAY, HOOPER. These lead to ancestral names including WIGGLESWORTH (Michael), TILDEN, THOMAS, LAW (Samuel), WARREN (Richard), LANGRELL/LANGERELL, and a host of others. TILDEN goes back to the 1200's.

This is my brother-in-law's new business venture in Pike County. Everyone in the family hunts deer for the purpose of supplementing the grocery budget - that's what all the deer shown are for. All the venison went into freezers. Farmers can now make more money off a field by renting it to hunters than they can planting a crop there. It has a number of pictures where you can see a little of what Pike County looks like. http://www.adams.net/~rblacket/straightarrowoutfitters.html

Hi List, I recently resubscribed to the List after a few months' absence. I'm still trying to sort out my ggggranfather's (Albert BLAKE) life. There are conflicting dates on his birthdate - 1814, 1817 or 1821. Census records make it even more confusing. He was married to Elizabeth SMITH MOORE (my gggrandmother) according to 1880 census. Their first child, Bessie, was my gggrandmother. He is listed being married to Permelia Blake on the 1850 census. Is anyone out there related to the Blakes, Smiths or Moore's, I'd like to hear from you. I'd like any suggestions on what Barry, Pike County resources are available to search also. Thanks much. Arlene

The civil war records of my ancestor, Abel Carnes (later Curnes), reference "doctoring with Dr. Stoner" upon Abel's discharge for disability from Co. H, 73rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry in October 1862. He also received advice (and unsuccessfully attempted to rent land from) Mrs. Camel, the widow of a doctor. Does anyone know where Dr. Stoner resided or the nature of his practice (he is also stated to have owned a drugstore)? Do records of his practice exist? Mrs. Camel? Both Dr. Stoner and Mrs. Camel advised Abel to ignore the army doctor's advice, which was "to get the very best whiskey and use it three times a day." Thanks. E.J.

Hello, Here in the Peoria area, only one newspaper charges for obits. The funeral director adds the fee onto the funeral charges. You actually pay the funeral director but, he in turn, pays the newspaper. Kathy

Hi everyone, I'm still looking for a record of the death of my gr gr grandmother, Sarah Leonard. She was married to Charles Leonard in Indiana in 1876, and they moved to Illinois. They lived in a little log cabin between Hull, IL and Hannibal, MO. The story from family members say she died in a flood and her body had to be taken away by boat. No one seems to know where she was buried, so I don't know whether to look in IL or MO cemetary or obit records. It would help if I knew if there was a major flood around 1878 or so... Charles Leonard was remarried for the 1880 census. If there was a flood around these years in which lives were lost, perhaps there would be a newspaper record of the flood and the death victims? Where would you look if you were me? Do any of you have access to indexes that could list flood deaths? It would definitely be between 1876 and 1880. Thanks in advance, Lonna

I think it might be the funeral homes charging for the obits in the paper. The reason I say this is when my daughter died my son-in-law did not have an obituary of any kind put in the paper, the cost quoted was more than he had. But they gave him forms to fill out where an obituary could be sent to two different papers. I don't think there was a cost for this. He did nothing with them, but I felt there should be something in the paper as her fathers family should know and at that time I did not know where they were. I filled out the forms and mailed them in giving my name and address, never got a bill. So who knows.

Virginia, Oh but I do understand. Without Pat and a couple more I would still be stumbling along, probably have thrown in the Pike County towel and figured my family just said they lived there, but they really didn't. The lookups I do are a pay back to the wonderful people who have helped me on this list. Mathew Dale - Perry Township Mathew was among the early pilgrims who located prior and up to 1835.
