Miller he own landed in 1878 Washington twp Wendel Miller and his wife Caroline Grusenmeyer owned land in 1878, Washington twp A. F. Miller owned land in Washington twp 1878 As far as I know there is no connection between these Millers, and these are just the ones I know of that lived in Washington twp. Starting 1870-1900. I would like to talk to anyone who knows a Miller that lived in this area. Charlotte

Hello List, I am looking for information on an Adolph Winquist. He was from Brook, Indiana. He may have lived for a while in Logansport. He was a mortician and had at least one son who was a photographer. Thanks, Rick

It seems I am still here. Must have been a rootsweb mechanical thing. I have had this happen before, difference being that I was not on the list!!

I got your message Researching: Sterling, Robson, Conrad, Davenport, Fisher, McGary, Trudeau, Bourdeau, Dupuis, Southard, Wickham, Lord

well, someone or something just subscribed me to this list and then unsubbed me. This is a test to see if I am still on. Have been here for months.

For those of you interested in cemetery restoration, here is an opportunity to develop your skills and help preserve history. Tomorrow morning - Saturday August 12, we will be meeting at Sprinkle cemetery located at 1175 S 800 E; Jackson Twp., Cass County, Indiana - about 1 1/2 miles north and 1 1/2 miles west of Galveston. We plan to work from 8 a.m. - noon. Come dressed to work, bring shovels, bring a friend, and bring some energy.

Becky Miller and I did a cemetery restoration demo at Greenlawn Cemetery at Mexico, Indiana for the Miami County Genealogy Society Wednesday evening. We had about 20 people and they were awesome. We showed them the techniques and they jumped in and got busy working. I think all together they dug up at least 5 fallen and sunken markers and reset at least 1 or 2. The cemetery is still active, however, the original part of the cemetery was started by the Church of the Brethren. The cemetery board is going to be making new bases for at least 3 tombstones that were dug up. We cleaned poultice off of 2 stones that I did ahead of time and applied poultice to at least 3 others. And 2 of the stones were drilled, pegged and epoxied. One of those had its base leveled before it could be repaired. We started at 6 p.m. and left the cemetery for our carry-in dinner about 8:15. It is amazing what can be done by willing volunteers in barely over 2 hours. It was great to have so much enthusiastic help and the dinner was delicious, too. Sharon and Don Linn provided a nice air conditioned pole building with cold soft drinks for the dinner that followed. Also, Sharon Linn, MCGS member keeps the records for the cemetery which is still active. Some of the older burials have records, such as "baby," "old man," "occupied." Some of the stones we worked on were not listed in the record book, so the records are being updated and made more complete.

Hi, I am researching: Atwood Cody both in Logansport, Cass Co. also Updegraf [County unsure of] Thanks, Connie in TPA

Hi List, I just want to say "thank you" to all who answered my query. Every answer is very much appreciated and I will follow-up on all. Have a Great day and God Bless, Connie

Is the same as given earlier. Some additional information that was given to me by the person who sent this to me was: Her ancestor applied for retirement benefits even though his work history was sparatic and she received a monthly summary of his employment from about 1906 through 1958, information about his 3 marriages, and some non rr related work history. She was able to track him across the US and even have a possible "alias" to check out. Web site for the Railroad Retirement Board...check out regional office addresses to find one closest to your ancestor's location and then write a snail mail and they will check for his employee records. The research fee is non refundable. US Railroad Retirement Board 844 North Rush St. Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092 My area of research is before 1935, and I wrote to the Railroad in which my ancestor was employed. They had no records prior to 1935, the reason being is that is when Social Security started, and that is when they started to keep records. So I am hoping to find out through the Retirement Board, hopefully more info. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I would write to the Historical Society and see what records they have on your ancestor.

Thank you for the information on William and Betty Steele. Are there any more Steele's listed in the Kline book? Does the Kline book list by family plots? Are there any Berkshires listed? Is this a published book? Thanks Joanne

Natalie, I sure would like to talk to you. I'm also looking up information on RR in Cass couunty at Logansport, maybe we can share our references. I'm looking for John Miller who had work on the R R in 1860. I sure we can do some good for each other.

Ruth Sturgeon, born December 02, 1847 in on a farm, Lake Cicott, Cass Co., IN; died February 03, 1933 in At home of her son, Perry, in Monticello, IN. She was the daughter of Taylor Sturgeon and Eunice. She married Elija P. Hinshaw October 09, 1864 in Howard Co., IN. He was born April 12, 1837 in Randolph Co., IN, and died December 23, 1920 in Star City, Van Buren Twp, Pulaski, IN. He was the son of Elijah Hinshaw and Rachel Thornburg. Does anyone out there recognize this family? Need more informatio regarding Ruth parents, as well as the parents of Elija. I do not know where Taylor and Eunice were born or when. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Ed Crabtree - KCMO EWCRABTREE@prodigy.net

Connie I do not think that any railroad will have information concerning employees that worked for them in the time period that you have an interest in. I have no idea where that information might be found.

My husband's great-great grandfather worked for the Pensylvania RR as a shopman in Logansport. Would there be any type of records still in existance on RR employees in the 1880 to 1920 timeframe? Natalie in CA

This is a PS to the last post, The U.S. Railroad has a genealogy section here is the web address: http://www.rrb.gov/geneal.html Rick

Connie Below is a web address for the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board, they might be able to help you. Rick http://www.rrb.gov/sitemap.html

There is an address for Employees of Railroads. It's not on my hard drive, so printed it. Right now, I am in the process of filing my stacks. I will make a note of this and as soon as I find it, will post. I also have to do some research in this area, but not in Indiana. If I can't find it right off, I will get it from the list that I originally got it from. Hang in there! Jean Hehn

Hi List, I have seen postings of the Pennsylvania RR which apparently had a rail yard in Logansport. Does anyone know of any other RR's with yards there in the late 1800's. early 1900's. If you have names, would you also mind terribly telling me how I might contact them to ask about a particular person that might have been an employee. Many thanks. Connie
