Thanks so much, Sam, those are my Engles! This info will be helpful to another Engle researcher I'm working with, appreciate the help! Do you have that History of Stephenson County book? Would you mind looking if there's a mention of Elizabeth Gatliff or any Gatliff families? That's been a brick wall for several of us. Thanks!

Theresa, I am unable to help you directly with the Clark surname. However, looking through the list you supplied, I noted that there are a number of BRUBAKERs and ENGLEs. According to the "History of Stephenson County 1970" on pg. 109, in a section on the Currier School District in Lancaster Twp.: "Between what is still called River Road and Freeport there were the homes of several well-known early settlers. Rudolph K. Brubaker's farm was here, on both sides of Route 75 where Tower Road now meets the highway. The pioneer Jacob Engle bought a farm on the East side of Tower Road in 1851. It is one of the many farms which, although not bought from the government, have all or in part remained in the same family. Jacob's brother Tobias also bought land in this area. His grandson Jamin had a Jersey dairy farm for twenty-three years where a Forreston firm now has a gravel pit." On pg 438, it notes that: "For the past thirteen years, Mrs. Jamin (Leone) Engle has served as executive secretary [of the Red Cross], and at present is also the director of service to military families." The 1998/99 Freeport phone book lists a Gordon Engle at 817-233-1579 Sam Brown Benbrook, TX

Pat Gar was a fraternal organization founded by the survivors of the Civil War. Lena Camp would have been the local organization. There were several medal and ribbons that are connected with the organization. I would suggest contacting the Union Sons of the Gar for more information. Have several websites on net.

Could someone tell me something about this organization? Harry Griswald Fowler was a member. Also first member of it to die. There was some badge that goes with it and my brother was supposed to get it after the death of my uncle Whitman Parker, However no one seems to know what became of it. Pat Heisel

I have the index for Nach Amerika which tells about families from Liechtenstein who came to America. I also have the pages referring to the chapter that tells about those who specifically came to Freeport, Illinois. If you have any of the following surnames you are researching let me know. I will also gladly ck to see if you have families that came from that country but immigrated to other midwest locations. The ones known to have come to Freeport are: Banzer, Gassner, Lampert, Sele, Beck, Eberle, Frommelt, Wille. I descend from the Eberle lines.

I would like to invite you to subscribe to the Rima Mailing List. RIMA . A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the RIMA surname in the United States at any time. Mailing address for postings is rima@onelist.com. You can subscribe by sending the following to rima-subscribe@onelist.com: subscribe I look forward to meeting you as we share our Rima history.

Is anyone able to do an obit look-up? Looking for Morris M. August who died May 7, 1939 in Freeport. Thank you, Roger Cramer Peoria, AZ

Looking for descendants of Robert SMITH, b. abt. 1836, and Catherine JOY, b. abt. 1840. Both were born in Ireland. Catherine was born in County Kerry. Her father was Maurice Joy; her brothers Thomas and John. The Smiths are on the 1860 Census in Mazomanie, WI, with a daughter Mary, b. 1860. They were living with Catherine's parents and brother Thomas at that time. Descendants of the siblings kept in touch for a time over the years. Our direct ancestors in the JOY family, Maurice and Thomas, moved to Crawford County, Wisconsin. Catherine and her husband moved to Illinois. We have a book given to Maurice, son of Thomas. The book was inscribed as given to him in Freeport, IL, when they were visiting. Frank Smith who lived at 1243 S. Carroll Ave., Freeport, IL, is on an old Christmas card mailing list in our family. The mailing list seems to be from the late 1940s. We know our relatives visited relatives in Freeport and the Freeport area. Is there someone who could help locating any Smith descendants who might be in the area today? Thank you for any help you can give. Joyce Urban
