Hi, I have a Charles M. TOWNSEND living in Pekin, IL in 1937. He was taking care of his stroke-victimized father that year (Frank Dekay Townsend) when Frank died in April of that year and then was buried in Springville Cemetery in Clinton, Iowa, which is where he had lived all of his married life. The mother was Ida CONARD-TOWNSEND, from Clinton, Iowa. Does anyone have access to cemetery records for Pekin, that might show that this Charles M. Townsend was buried in this city? I'm thinking that he must have been born about 1890 or so, which is a huge guess, figuring his mother would have been 23 yrs old at the time. And, does anyone have access to a city directory for the time frame of 1937 when Frank Townsend died, showing the Townsend families living in Pekin? I have no idea if Charles ever married or had children but I definitely want to, as well. He was one of two children born to Frank & Ida, with his sibling dying in infancy. I'm thinking that there might have been other Townsend relatives living in Pekin at that time. Thanks for looking and for any help someone may give, Sandy in CA

It seem to me that on Memorial Day, we should honor the veterans of Tazewell County who served their country well. My family has been in Tazewell County since 1840. Most of them are buried in Lakeside Cemetery. Henry SHOBER, War of 1812, Blackhawk War John GOODHEART, Blackhawk war, and Civil War, IL 2cnd Cavalry, killed at MerryweatherÂ’s Ferry in 1862 William SCHEFFLER,, Civil War, 132cnd NY Infantry, Co I, immigrated from Germany between 1859 and 1861, and joined the army in 1862 as soon as he could. I have too many WWII uncles and cousins to mention, as well as those who are still living, from Korea and Viet Nam. They were ordinary men, who fought and risked their lives for us. Thanks to them all. Ellen Rowan Taylor
We conduct a Library of church records, minutes, periodicals (with obituaries), etc., in Carthage, Illinois, called the Primitive Baptist Library. Although we have had only very limited numbers of members in Tazewell County, only one small church of this faith existed there from about 1833 for perhaps 50 years, and only a few scattered members living in the county since that time, at any rate, the information we have has now been entered on a link for Tazewell county which you may see by going to the URL below. Perhaps if nothing on this county page helps, someone may be helped by some other county page, so I share the web address with you.

Hello List, Dixie, your post interested me. Not only have I lived in Wash. IL. I still live near enough to ask some questions about your Scottish ancestors.I'll pop over in a day or two to see what I can find out for you. I do know that the library is not bursting at the seams with historical accounts of the area. I do know from researching my husband's Scotch-Irish ancestors that; 1750's they were in Pennsylvania, 1800's they were in Ohio, 1820-30 they'd made it into IN and IL.1850's they'd gone into Iowa, Nebraska, and one or two to Sutters Mill in CA. My guess is, some relatives convinced Maybelle that Iowa was the place to be. Fun Stuff. Denise
An ancestor of mine, Maybelle Ferguson of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland, and her siblings, William and Helen, emigrated to Washington, IL in the early 1850's. They left that area for Keokuk County, IA before 1860, and settled in a part of that county served by the Scotland Prebyterian Church. When I look at the "neighborhood", I note many Scottish names. In fact, a St. Andrews Society existed for a good decade plus. I also note, in reading obits of some of these immigrants, that they also had lived in Washington, IL before emigrating to Iowa. I know the 1850's were a time of high emigration from Scotland to the rest of the world but I am intrigued that my ancestor "knew" to go to a portion of Keokuk County, Iowa--heavily German--that was primarily Scottish. I am also intrigued that some went to Washington, IL. So maybe it is just coincidence but if anyone has any insight--or even a wild idea--into this not-particulary extraordinary situation, please contact me. dhh

This was in Tues, 8 May, Springfield MO News Leader, p. 5B: Discovery of cemetery halts roadwork--Associated Press-Kansas City-- Construction of a new highway in south Kansas City has been halted by the discovery of a small cemetery dating back to the Civil War era. State officials are anxious to find any descendants of the Holloway family who are bured in the cemetery. If the heirs can't be found, the state will have to get court permission to move the nine graves in the plot, in order to finish a new Missouri 150. Construction workers recently unearthed a marble headstone, dating from 1858, while moving a large section of water pipe. Archaeologists later found another headstone and evidence of seven other graves. The site has not been disturbed further. -------- Please pass this on to other lists. Betty White Santa Barbara, CA
Here's what Symantec says about the Wscript.KakWorm. It IS an attachment so it doesn't go through the server. Wscript.KakWorm spreads using Microsoft Outlook Express. It attaches itself to all outgoing messages using the Signature feature of Outlook Express and Internet Explorer newsgroup reader. The worm utilizes a known Microsoft Outlook Express security hole so that a viral file is created on the system without having to run any attachment. Simply reading the received email message causes the virus to be placed on the system. Microsoft has patched this security hole. The patch is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/ie/tools/scrpteye.asp Cheryl Rothwell LoganCty@mindspring.com
>>What about the WScript.KakWorm this is a worm and is not in a attachment but in the e-mail it self?? I believe it falls under the category of a message not in the required plain text -- rejected by the server. I note you have your email sent to reply directly to you rather than the list so you are vulnerable to viruses outside the protection of the list serve. Cheryl Rothwell LoganCty@mindspring.com
I do not want to get into discussions of viruses on the genealogy lists. However, it has come to my attention that some people are still not aware of things they need to do. First, a virus can NOT come through the mailing lists. The server rejects all messages with attachments, all messages not in text format and all messages from nonsubscribers. I set up the list so that responses go directly to the list rather than the individual so that everyone may benefit from the answers and the discussion. However, if you have set up your email program to have responses sent directly to you that will override the list setup. It also takes you outside the list server's virus protection and make you a potential victim of virus infection. In Outlook there is a reply to line in account setup/properties -- don't fill it in. If there is something in there remove it -- leave that line blank. I am not familiar with other programs any more but they all work along the same lines. If a list member has a virus and replies to the list, the list server will reject the message. If s/he replies to your message and you are set up to have all responses sent directly to you it will go directly to you, virus and all. As a general rule, if you don't have a virus checker on your email you should get one immediately. A free program is available from http://www.grisoft.com -- you have to remember to update it yourself but it seems to work quite well and not cause other problems with email. Commerical programs often can be set to update themselves at specified intervals such as once a week. At the following web site you can have your computer checked for viruses while you wait: http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp This web site lists a lot of virus resources: http://www.angelfire.com/or/matney/page1.html There are many other web sites and sources of information out there. Be wise. Protect yourself. Now, back to genealogy. Cheryl Rothwell LoganCty@mindspring.com

I just couldn't help sharing this poem. I hope you all enjoy it. GRANDMA AND THE FAMILY TREE: There's been a change in Grandma; we've noticed her of late, She's always reading history or jotting down some date. She's tracking back the family; we'll all have pedigrees. Oh, Grandma's got a hobby; she's climbing Family Trees. Poor Grandpa does the cooking now, or so he states, That worst of all, he has to wash the cups and dinner plates. Grandma can't be bothered; she's busy as a bee Compiling genealogy -- for the Family Tree. She has no time to baby-sit; the curtains are a fright, No buttons left on Granddad's shirt, the flowerbed's a sight. She's given up her club work, the serials on TV, The only thing she does nowadays is climb the Family Tree. She goes down to the court house and studies ancient lore, We know more about our forebears than we ever knew before. The books are old and dusty; they make poor Grandma sneeze, A minor irritation when you're climbing Family Trees. The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far, Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR. A worth while avocation, to that we all agree, A monumental project, to climb the Family Tree. Now some folks came from Scotland and some from Galway Bay, Some were French as pastry, some German, all the way. Some went on west to stake their claim, some stayed near by the sea. Grandma hopes to find them all as she climbs the Family Tree. She wanders through the graveyard in search of date or name, The rich, the poor, the in-between, all sleeping there the same. She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze That blows above the Fathers of all our Family Trees. There were pioneers and patriots mixed in our kith and kin Who blazed the paths of wilderness and fought through thick and . thin, But none more staunch than Grandma, whose eyes light up with glee Each time she finds a missing branch for the Family Tree. Their skills were wide and varied, from carpenter to cook And one (Alas!) the record shows was hopelessly a crook. Blacksmith, weaver, farmer, judge, some tutored for a fee, Long lost in time, now all recorded on the Family Tree. To some it's just a hobby; to Grandma it's much more, She knows the joys and heartaches of those who went before. They loved, they lost, they laughed, and they wept, and now lay forever still, But they will not, be forgotten as long, as Grandma climbs the family tree.

Thanks to Mike for answering Nancy's question. I know that Ketchikan has a newspaper where to get Alaska death certificates. For a link to all Alaska newspapers go to http://www.usnewspaperlinks.com/aknews.html . From there you can click on Ketchikan and it will take you to the Kanoe website. If that doesn't get it for you let me know and I'll try making some phone calls.
