Hi List: Is there someone who could do a lookup for me? I would like a birth record & obituary for my grandmother, Belle Coon b. Oct 8, 1871 Indiana. Died Dec. 6, 1914 Married in Cass Co. In., Aug. 7, 1895 to William S. Randall. Father E.F. Coon, & mother ? Keever. Thanks so much for your help. Ann

I'm researching See, Lenon, Jarrett, Paden, Barnett, Ellis, Liston, Keever surnames in Cass and Carroll counties between 1830-1880s. Any help would be appreciated. Sara Patton in VA

Ellen and Debby. Thanks for the information on Lois Eldridge. Ellen, if you could find her obit it would be great. Please make a copy of it and I will pay you for it. I think she had the Bert Steele Bible and I am trying to find it. I am hoping she had nieces and nephew that might have it now. Also I would like to know her parents--so I can link her to the Steele family. Please e-mail me when you find the obit and I will send you my snail mail address.' Thanks Joanne in Oregon

Hi list, In two weeks, my dad and I are going to the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, IN - the second largest place for genealogy records in the U.S. Just to let you know I will take requests to do a lookup for either census, death index, birth index, or marriage index. I will, however, request a contribution to defray costs of copies and postage. Thanks, Monica M.Leath@verizon.net

Monica, How gracious of you to offer lookups. If by chance there is a film of the 1870 census would you please check for a John Ewald and a Lorenz/Lawrence Radke? I certainly appreciate your kindness and am more than willing to compensate you for any costs. Thank you, Alice Kam kamalot@worldnet.att.net

Dan, Thanks. Would like to crack this one if at all possible.

Joanne & Debbie: I can go to the library next week and look for the obituary. I remember Lois, because she was one of my teachers at Logansport High School. I do remember seeing the obit in the newspaper. We haven't got the 2000 Obituary Book printed yet. Since you have the death date as Jan 16, 2000 it will not be hard to find. I can send a copy or printed it on your website. Just let me know.

Hello, I know its a long shot looking for an Irish born John Smith. Looking for info on the father of Sarah Isabelle Smith, b. July 1851 d. 1935 in Logansport. She was married in 1872 to William Andrew Ziegler, b 1845 OH d.1942 Logansport,IN. Her father according to our family history was John Smith ca.1830 immigrated from Ireland. Thank you, Dave Baker

I am looking for information (parents and siblings) of Lois ELDRIDGE of Logansport, IN. She may have died as late as 2000. I don't believe she ever married. Please e-mail me with any Eldridge information. JoanneMJ@aol.com Joanne in Oregon

This is all I have on the Harvey line. Can someone share more info? dates? siblings? spouses? etc. I'm researching the CONN line of PA to Cass Co., Indiana. All information appreciated. Francine Conn Halter Tulsa, OK ==== 1 Thomas Morris Harvey b: 1808 in Pennsylvania d: 1892 in Indiana +Elizabeth Polly Betty Conn b: June 07, 1814 in Lycoming, Pennsylvania m: 1834 in Pennsylvania Father: Henry Conn Mother: Elizabeth St. Clair 2 Lafayette Harvey 2 George Harvey 2 Antoinette Harvey +Lafayette Coleman 2 Hiram Harvey b: 1840 in Indiana

Nancy, I should would like to know how you relate to the CONNs. My Henry Clay Conn was in Cass Co., Indiana, and he still has relatives there except I don't think any of them are on the Internet or at least know about this site or maybe they don't research their family... Anyway, please contact me. Francine Conn Halter

I have a great deal on the Conn Family. Anyone who would like me to email them what I have can contact me at Waynanc@aol.com Nancy Conrad

Thanks anyway!

Sorry, no Shuey at all, including any variations that I can think of. Sorry. Francine

Is his name George Milton Conn?

Francine: I have in my data base the following Conn family: George Milton (b. 8-1851; d. 1926) married Lydia Ann Allen (b. 11-1852; d. 8-3-1936) on March 22, 1876 in Cass County. Their children were: 1. Carrie Edith b. 4 1880 2. George W. Conn b. 4-13-1884; d. 10-13-1990 3. Howard Easton b. 4 1885 4. Angela E. b. 11 1888 5. Mattie Elinor b. 8-1889 Do these Conns match with any in your data. Hope to hear from you. Linda

Sandy: I was glad to hear from you. Yes, John Tilton is the son of my third great grandfather Ira Stout Tilton. John's brother Nathaniel Tilton was my second great grandfather. I would like to exchange information with you. I show the children of John and Sarah (McDowell) Tilton to be: 1. Nancy J. b. abt. 1837 2. Mary Ellen b. 1839; christened in Dalton Presbyterian Church on March 17, 1839 3. Elizabeth b. abt. 1840 4. Robert b. abt. 1842 5. Ira b. abt. 1844 6. Sabina b. abt. 1848 7. Maria b. abt. 1853 8. Nathaniel b. abt. 1856 Does this match with what you have on their children? I am also interested in the McDowell side because I am trying to trace as many descendants of John and Maria (Sutphen) Tilton as I can. John and Maria Tilton were the grandparents of the John who married Sarah McDowell. One of John and Maria Tilton's daughters married Nathaniel McDowell, who I believe might have been a brother of your husband great aunt Sarah (McDowell) Tilton. Do you have anything about her siblings? I have some information about John Tilton's siblings if you are interested. Hope to hear from you. Linda

Charlotte suggested I give you the names I'm looking for so I will in hopes that someone else is working on this family. Thus far postings on surname lists on these families have warranted no results. Emma R. Walters died at age 70 on 6 June 1919 in Logansport (CH-5, page 68 death record reference). What I'm really looking for is who her parents are to see if she's a sister to my ancestor. I believe her maiden name may have been McAdams. There is an A.C. Walters who died 12 June 1918 in Logansport (CH-5, page 35 death record reference) who I believe is her husband. I'd also be interested in knowing where they're buried. I have written Cass Co. many times for records on this and other lines (and they have been very responsive) but because this is so speculative, I'd rather try to do some preliminary checking before I send money for a copy of the death record. If anyone knows anything or knows someone who would check for obits or has access to Cass Co. cemetery records or knows someone who will check out the death record info for parents and spouse, I'd sure appreciate.

I have a particular death record I'd like to see whether or not it includes parents names or maiden name to see if it's the right one. I know I can write for it but I'd like to do a preliminary check this way before I send off cash or a money order to the county office. > > > > Thanks all, > > Marylin > > > > ==== INCASS Mailing List ==== > > @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- @->- > > Interested in Cass County Pioneer Cemetery Restoration? > > Come visit http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrpmc/index.html > > > > ============================== > > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > > Source for Family History Online.
