Hi everyone, (and all my Hansen/Carstensen/Miller/Hobert cousins who lurk on the list!) I'm trying to fill in some blank spaces on the family group sheets and was wondering if any of my cousins had dates or obits for the following events that have happened in the past 25 years. Death of Aunt Alma Quinn - she was close to 100 but I don't have her exact death date. She's buried in Cordova but I haven't been to the cemetery to hunt for her grave yet. Long trip from Atlanta! :-) Death date of Aunt Hattie Reynolds Hansen, of Cordova. Death of Aunt Mary Hansen ? died in Florida. She was Mollie's youngest sister? Death of Aunt Frieda (Miller) Pettit. I remember seeing her in the 70s and imagine she's also buried in Cordova. Cousin Jesse Rasmussen from Albany? I don't know if she's died, but she was in her 70s in the 70s and I would imagine is buried in Albany. Just FYI, she has the 'original' marriage certificate of Clause Heinrich Moeller and Rachel Simon. It was never turned in to the St. Louis courthouse when they were married. I think Uncle Donald Hansen is still alive and kicking in Kewanee? Would love to have his address if anyone has it. Also, I think I let everyone know. Aunt Katherine Miller Tucker (Mollie Hansen and Homer Miller's oldest) died last year and is buried in Fulton next to Uncle Bud and his parents. Thanks everyone! I somehow lost track of all the collateral lines, due to concentrating on the direct lines so much. Diana Hobert-Hanson-Muir Atlanta, GA

CHARLES J. A. ERICSON was born in Sweden, March 8, 1840.  In 1852 his father emigrated to America with his family, settling on a farm near Moline, Illinois.  In the spring of 1859 Charles removed to mineral Ridge on Boone County, Iowa, where he opened a country store, the nearest railroad town at that time being Iowa City.  He was appointed postmaster holding the position until 1870.  In that year he removed to Boone, entering the City Bank as cashier.  In 1871 he was elected Representative in the House of the Fourteenth General Assembly, where he secured the passage of a bill making settlers on the Des Moines River lands, occupying claimants, many hundreds of them living his county.  In 1895 Mr. Ericson was elected to the State Senate from the district of Boone and story counties, and was the author of a bill which became a law taxing corporation for filing articles of incorporation.  He also secured the reduction of interest on State Warrants from six to five per cent.  Mr. Ericson has been a successful business man, accumulating wealth which he has used liberally in building up his home city.  He has also made large contributions to worthy enterprises.  In 1899 he gave more than $12,000 to provide a park for Augustana College at Rock Island, Illinois.  In 1867-8 he built five school houses in the county; and in 1900 he built and presented to the city of Boone a building for a public library at a cost of $10,000, which has been named the "Ericson Memorial Library."  Debbie Clough Gerischer Iowa Gen Web, Assistant CC, Scott County <A HREF="http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/">http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/</A> IAGENWEB: Special History Project: http://iagenweb.org/history/index.htm Gerischer Family Web Site: <A HREF="http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/">http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/</A>

Hi - looking for info on Ralph Bennett (1905-1981) and wife Reba Sowell or Souel (etc...) 1907-1981. Anything would be great

Thanks to all who replied to my request for the info on Dorothy Jahns. Remember, I have the 1920 and 1930 US census if anyone would like a lookup.

I sure appreciate the response, but someone beat you to it. I think the person had some sort of a subscription on the internet because I had it in no time at all. Thanks for offering!

IN THE LEGISLATURE The opportunity speedily arrived.  Among those elected to the session of the Illinois legislature following the Black Hawk war was Colonel Strode, his ability to run in any line being thus demonstrated.  Before that legislature came for sanction the plat of a new city on the Mississippi to be named Davenport.  Here ascended Colonel Strode into the air several feet and popped his heels together.  He made a better rally than he had done at Stillman's Run, and shot away from the handsome plat in evidence the illuminated title in the corner.  In vain Colonel Davenport's friends gathered to his standard.  They defeated the name suggested by the Strode faction, but could not save the name of Davenport.  The only way out was a compromise and the name written on the plat-by the delegated wisdon of the Sucker state was Stephenson, the name of still another Colonel-colonels were thicker in Illinois after the Black Hawk war than in Kentucky at her best-a sort of receiver at the lead mines.  So Stephenson, the new town became and continued until wish men gave it the title of the best known island in the Mississippi valley, and the island, and the arsenal, the city and the railroad-all Rock Island-are known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and then some miles. >From Colonel Davenport' disappointment came greater pride.  In the fall of 1835 a company of men seated one evening on the porch of his handsome home looked across the swiftly rolling river to the incomparable site confronting them and planned a new Davenport which in later years crowned the bluffs in beaurty, a town whose scenic loveliness of situation inspired the poet Taylor to write the tribute which began, "Seated upon her hills like a queen upon her divan," etc.  Rock Island is all right-a lovely sister in the trinity of Davenport, Moline and Rock Island, but she never could have been Davenport, for Davenport is Davenport, and that is something better.

A DREAM CITY They secured a surveyor and on the virgin slate ready to hand worked  a page of geometry with stakes and compass and chain, squared the upland into streets and lots, four corner lots to the block and others less valuable, with plazas for markets and landscape gardening, sites for city hall, court house, and state capitol, perhaps-the ambition of early town boomers had no roof,-with streets named for local dignitaries, white and red, ample accomodations for railroad depots and trams, with prophetic planning for schools, religious temples and universities.  When this beautiful dream town had been evolved by topographic magic from the rough and ready shanty of Russell Farnham and its associate line of similar edifices the necessity for a name well sounding and  commercially adequate appeared.  After cogitation selection was made of the congnomen of the earliest settler in all the region, the best known man and the principal proprietor of the handsome map which pictured steamboats snubbed to the bank and the iron horse cavorting in the outlots,-Davenport.  This marvel of the cartographer was to be Davenport.  It was a rosy plan, but difficulties lurking in the background began to come to the front, and in the style of the true weaver of fiction these complications will be brought contemporaneous with this date which was 1832 or a year or two later. In 1831 there had been something going on in western Illinois which some have called war and others have styled a massacre.  In any event the state was cleared of certain red people who had more or less right to their homes, their cornfields and the graves of their fathers.  One incident of this belated chapter of the War of 1812 was the so called battle of Stillman's Run in which Black Hawk's Indians approaching with a flag of truce were fired upon, after which the American soldiers seized by causeless panic fell into frenzied flight that stopped not until there were a few in every northern county of Illinois.  Among these swift footed soldiers was a Colonel Strode, not in command of any forces engaged, but present as a spectator-one of the gallery, as the golfers phrase it.  Some accuse him of having ordered the shooting of the party with the truce flag-perhaps not-but be his part in the matter little or much, he took full share in the footrace, nor tarried by the way until the declivities of Galena worked a ritard in the staccato syncopation of his footfalls. Comment upon this deplorable incident among those who had seen real service who knew how to fight and respect a flag of truce, was piquant.  Colonel Davenport took a part in the condemnation and several spicy bits of criticism upon the winged colonel from his pen appeared in the Galena Advertiser.  Colonel Strode was only human, and these things rankled in his soul, so he bided the time when he could catch Colonel Davenport in a bottle and drive in the stopper.
