Could anyone tell me which cemetery or cemetery's would be likely to have been used for a death in 1873 given that the person was Swedish married to an immigrant from Denmark and that they lived in the township of Rock Island in 1870? (I'm guessing they were Lutheran given the Nationalities). Was there a Lutheran Church there and could there be a cemetery behind or near it? their marriage certificate of 1866 was signed by a Minister named Jonas Swensson. Does anyone know what church he lead? Pam in Calif.

I stuck what you, Kris and Linda said on: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilrockis/cemetery/cemetery.htm. Can I add this info, Ruth, on that page? We can handle all the info we can get.

Let me know if you want me to stop over there. Kris East Moline, IL.

Have more information since this morning. A Blackhawk Genealogical Society reminded me that the Resthaven Cemetery is also know as the East Moline State Hospital Cemetery. Listings of Surnames, Given Names, Birth Year (if known), and Death Year plus the graves location in Cemetery were listed in two recent Blackhawk Genealogy Quarterlies. They are not indexed and cover 40 pages. This would be something that you would have to search personally, because it is unindexed and spelling would be the variable that might be the key to finding your person. Ruth

In the Rock Island Argus/Dispatch on Sunday, October 4, 1998 (yes, 1998) there was a paragraph on page G8 that is titled Mystery cemetery. It is the last paragraph of an article called "Digging into Q-C Cemeteries" beginning on page G1. I am quoting the paragraph. "Not much is known about Resthaven, across from East Moline's Northeast Park, but it is the resting place of patients who died at the former state hospital in East Moline and who had no families to claim their remains. Resthaven is maintained by the state, and visitors are not allowed." I was up early this morning and when sorting thru some saved newspaper clippings, this particular topic seemed to "leap" right out and grab my attention. I had no intention to read any articles at 4 in the morning. But I remembered someone had inquired about Resthaven a few days ago. Ruth

Well, they haven't admitted it completely, yet, but I spent most of yesterday trying to upload 5 out of 41 jpegs Nancy Moore sent me of the Charity church book. I should have them up by now. Nancy has them in and soon as I can upload, Charity will be online. Driving me crazy.

Henry Christian Fredrickson married Anna Erickson in 1866. I have a certified Rock Island marriage certificate, however Henry C.'s last name is spelled "Fredrick" instead of "Fredricksom". I belive they are the same person, however because I know the name of his wife and the children were born in 1868 and 1873, and I know they were born in Rock Island. Does anyone have the 1870 census to see if they are there in Rock Island? Pam in Calif.

I didn't see the whole post on this question...but...there was a Ransom Dayton in 1850, Scott Co, Davenport, Iowa ...just across the river from Rock Island. We have family who lived on one side of the river and married on the other,,,,,so it would be good to check out this family for Oscar living with Ransom. Julie

FYI gf ********** From: "mary willis" <maryow@qni.com> To: <glofra@townsqr.com> Subject: Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 22:47:00 -0500 Gloria just a note in reference to the posting about the Walmart Veteran Wall--yes you can get the photos for sure--I am asst. Manager of one of the Walmart Photo Labs -as a matter of fact I worked at setting the display today-This is a great Free project, the customer takes in a photo and you will get a free 5x7 and can give permission and the other copy will be displayed. I might add at this time the machine used to make these photos are the same one that great black and white photos (that you do not have a negative of ) can be copied on reg. photo quality paper. Many folks make those copies, sharing memories, and are very in-expensive. Just a added comment. Mary

To promote this wall they are offering a free 5x7 copy of your veteran's pictures. They will make 2 copies of the photograph, give you one and keep the other to display in an in-store collage. After that, Wal-Mart will send their photographs to Washington D C where it will be placed on a star on the National Veteran's wall. The picture must be a veteran IN UNIFORM and you will need to supply the following information: Name of Veteran Rank Branch of Service Dates of Service Unit This information will be included on the star that contains the photograph. I think this is a great idea and hope that all of you veteran's out there will take advantage of this offer and take your place of honor on this wall. Also, they are including pictures of Civil War veterans so start digging in those closets and boxes for your family veteran's. Please don't send me questions but check with your local Wal-Mart if you need more details. I did call my local Wal-Mart to verify this promotion amd received confirmation. I asked if this was being done nation wide and they said as long as they have a photo-lab at the store this offer is vaild. The deadline is Nov 11 so don't wait too long. Brenda Marble

Please reply to Julie if anyone has information. Yea, my family didn't talk about the ggggrandfather who murdered someone during the CW period - everyone thot he was killed in the CW. Newspaper articles showed different. Drunken fight. Might try to find some newpapers on microfilm. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilrockis/address.htm#newspapers You can order these newspaper films thru interlibrary loan from below IL State His Library at your library and see if you can find an obit or an article about his death. http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/generes.htm#NEWSPAPERS ON MICROFILM At this LDS Library Catalog site: http://www.familysearch.org/Search/searchcatalog.asp copy and paste the following url in and you will find all microfilm you can order at your nearest LDS History Center on Rock Island County, lots of em. (yep, it will copy and paste into your browser window) http://www.familysearch.org/fhlc/supermainframeset.asp?display=local itydetails&subject=199278&subject_disp=Illinois,_Rock_Island&columns =*,180,0 gf From: JulieBskt@aol.com Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 16:33:47 EDT Subject: Re: [ILROCKIS-L] cemetery office address To: glofra@townsqr.com X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows sub 11 I would also be interested in knowing the address....and how old the cemetery is....if the burials go back to 1870? I am looking for the burial of my gg grandfather, Pierce B. Bissell who died...according to family history,...about 1870....burial place unknown. He owned land in Hampton Township as a land grant purchaser in 1839...sold the land and moved to Joliet in 1850...and then the family moved back to Hampton about 1853. Pierce was listed in the 1860 census as head of household...but occupation was now a peddlar instead of a cooper.. and..he was listed as "insane due to religious excitement... ..In addition, .while they had had children almost each year or so of their marriage, his wife, only 30 years of age in 1853...did not have another child after their return to Rock Island and Pierce never owned land in his name again after their return. I have wondered if Pierce was really living there...or if the peddlar occupation was just a good excuse for him to ~not be at home~. However, other family members don't want to hear that idea. It seems pretty logical to me. Most of the rest of the family all pulled up and moved to western Iowa about 1874, including Pierce's wife, Sarah (Van Boskirk/Van Buskirk). His oldest son, Richard , did name one of his children Samuel Pierce Bissell, so it doesn't appear that there was an estrangement between father and children...but maybe they were shielded from the real truth. Any ideas out there for possible burial sites for Pierce....or how I should next proceed? Members of my family have searched for Pierce's grave site... his parentage or sibblings, for years....all with no luck. I welcome all suggestions. Julie Bissell Tupker

I don't know. I am forwarding to the Rock Island maillist to see if someone close to the area might know the correct address. If someone can't come up with correct address, I will remove the address.
