The Allen County Public library Genealogy department may have the book that you are look for. Along with the obituaries and any information that would be obtained in a book. I do lookups for the Allen County Public library for a reasonable amount, but you don't have to pay until I find what you are looking for, if there is any information on it. I know that the information on Allen County is quite good, for I have family there too and I've looked in a lot of the books. If you need any more help just ask or email me. Good Luck. Sincerely, Brandi

I am looking for any info on John W Purman, b about 1878 and was in a obit dated July 10, 1949 in Fort Wayne, Allen Co. His wife, Ruth A Purman, nee Mosely, is mentioned as surviving wife. She was born in AR abt 1873 & would have been about 73 years old. I am looking for their children and when and where they are buried. He was a bookkeeper per the city directory in 1910. They lived for many years in the area. I know there were other Purman's in the area. Thank you Janet Sheba16J@aol.com

Looking for any Hickman's. My Samuel Hickman was married to Martha Sriver in 1855 in Allen Cty, Indiana. They had John Wesley Hickman, LuLu (m. Beals), Alice (m. Stocking) and Mary (m. Jacob Wegenman). John Wesley's obit states that Mary was a half sister. John Wesley's daughter, Jessie Dean, married Oliver Elmer By, son of Abraham Oliver and Charlotte Agnes Bishop. Abraham Oliver Bly's parents were William Bly and Elizabeth. Charlotte Agnes Bishop's parents were John Bishop and Charlotte Keller. Anyone have these names in their trees? Would love to connect them with others in Allen County! Teresa Barnes Monument, CO

LINDA CHURCHWARD You recently did some search for me on the PRAY family,and got me two OBITS. The one area of the date of death on GORDON PRAY is the different dates of death. I already had the death certificate for him, and it has the date of death as 27, NOVEMBER, 1949. The way it looks between the OBIT and the Funeral Home Record is they have the date as 24, NOVEMBER, 1949. That was Thanksgiving weekend in that year. What i am trying to get to is, how could i verify the exact date of death for GORDON PRAY? I want to think that the 24th is the correct date, because it comes up twice in two different areas. Also you stated in your one response to me that you would be willing to look at the 1910 and 1920 census records. Would those be for that area? I have just completed looking at the 1910 and 1920 censun records for WAYNE COUNTY MICHIGAN and came up with quite a bit of information for the PRAY family at that time. If you think that looking at the census records in Indiana would be worth it, then feel free to do the search for me. I can't thank you enough already for the work you have done for me. THANKS AGAIN---------------------------HAPPY TRAILS----------------------------------ROBERT GLAZIER

Thanks, but my ggrandfather who was in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders goes back some ways before WWII....before WWI, too. But I appreciate your response to my inquiry. Perhaps you have helped others, though! Again, thanks.

Which archive are you trying to access? I am a unit clerk in the Oregon Army National Guard (the full time sort) and, incidently, a cavalryman. I have pulled records from the national military archives for retired soldiers in my community. Sometimes it has taken up to a year. Have you tried the different cavalry organizations. The most prominent now is the Armor association at FT KNOX. Obveousely, we only go back to about WW2, but we have close ties to the old CAV where our roots are. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Spear" <tspear@flash.net> To: <INALLEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2001 4:24 PM Subject: [INALLEN-L] Teddy Roosevelts Rough Riders of Fort Wayne, IN > > My ggrandfather, Charles Adolphus Roux was supposed to have joined Teddy > Roosevelt's Rough Riders, as my ggrandmother had a picture of him dressed in > uniform.

I am a member of the Oregon Army National Guard, and a member of the United States Cavalry. If you contact the military department of your state and speak with the civil affairs department, they may be able to stear you in an expedited direction with the archives. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Triple H Ranch" <rheiser@gte.net> To: <INALLEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2001 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [INALLEN-L] Teddy Roosevelts Rough Riders of Fort Wayne, IN > Terry, > > It takes time to hear from the Archives.

Terry, It takes time to hear from the Archives. I too was trying to obtain information on my ggrandfather who rode in the Indiana Cavalry during the Civil War. It took the Archives eleven weeks to get back to me.
