PAULINA STREET. b .~AkTH, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60612-3872.312.942.4463 I saw Mrs. Johnson in her home in Tinley Park on 12/2/98. She is cared for by her husband and son, Alan. Patient was dressed in a nightgown and sitting in her geri-chair in a large living room where she spends most of her day. She has a hospital bed, a commode, and a walker. She has a Foley catheter in place, which is the choice of her caregivers because it is easier to manage than her incontinency. She has had a few bladder infections this past year which have been treated successfully with Cipro. According to her husband, the patient has a history of blood clots and has a Richmond screen in place in her left femoral artery. She has a new physician, Dr. Kanashiro, with whom her husband and son are very pleased. Dr. Kanashiro ordered Aricept in 8/98, along with physical therapy. The family attributes a remarkable change in her ability to stand and ambulate, along with an increase in verbalization, directly to Aricept. Mini-Mental score was 1/30. Patient did not answer any of the questions appropriately, but did read aloud, "close your eyes" articulately and accurately; then, she did close her eyes. The Foley catheter is changed once a week by Ingall's Home Care, who also provide the PT services. The only medication she is on is Aricept 5 mg once per day. Height is 5'6" and weight is 134 lbs. Blood pressure was 126/80 and 120/84, both sitting; pulse was 76. General neurological examination is as follows. Patient has marked slowing throughout. She was very stiff and was unable to arise from the chair without help, and she was unable to stand without assistance. She was able to take steps with the walker with a one-person assist. Base of gait was narrow, and she tended to drag her left foot a bit. While standing, she maintained a very flexed hip and knee posture. She does have a history of left hip and knee replacements secondary to degenerative arthritis. Her left leg is noticeably shorter than the right. She does have about an 11/2" shoe lift built into the sole of her left shoe. She was unable to turn. The bradykinesia items were very difficult to test for. She is very stiff. She was able to mimic with her right hand, but didn't do anything with her left. She was able to perform the finger taps and the pro-sup movements with her right hand with mild slowing and reduction in amplitude. She showed no dysmetria. She was able to grasp for a pen with much coaching. She has a very slow reach. There was no action, postural, or rest tremor. She did not attend visually to peripheral movement. Nasolabial folds were symmetric. Speech was never above a whisper, but her words were articulate, and she was appropriate at times with her responses. She smiled frequently, but did show a slight abnormal diminution of facial expression. Rigidity was mild to moderate in the upper extremities, mild to moderate in the right lower extremity, and severe in the left lower extremity. Head and neck were moderately rigid. Gegenhalten was definitely present in both upper extremities. I was unable to test for upper extremity drift because she didn't JOHNSON, Natalie Page 2 comprehend/follow. Muscle stretch reflexes were present and symmetric in the brachial radialis, biceps, and triceps. Patellar reflex was definitely greater in the left, and Achilles were absent bilaterally. Babinski was equivocal bilaterally. Her feet were hypersensitive. She reacted normally to vibratory sensation in her right foot, but not in the left. Pain sensation was normal in the right foot and decreased in the left. She was alert and responsive throughout the exam, frequently smiled, and seemed to enjoy the interaction. We plan on seeing Mrs. Johnson again in one year. Lois Barton, RN, MPH Nurse Clinician /jm D~ fl~~CH~~/ --------------2F98C4E3060--

Would anyone know sources of obituaries for Clay Co in the 1830-1870 time frame, particularly for Lewis Township? Who were the undertakers in the area at the time? Thanks, Lori Loria1001@aol.com

Becky, I will ask Mom about Dale. He is very familiar with our family. He is probably in his mid 80's now. Used to buy meat from my dad all the time. He is a neat person. I think he was the one who gave Grandpa his map. He doesn't take care of the cemetary anymore, so he may just refer you to the trustee. Lori

Hi everyone, Just posting my surnames in hopes for a connection out there. Washington NEESE born 1816. Parents were Henry and Barby NEESE. There was 7 other children besides Washington Neese. Any connections? Also looking for a connection or information to Leah ANDERSON marriage to Washington. Her parents were Rueben and Zipporah(DYER) ANDERSON. There were 10 children in total. Hope to hear from you !! Barb Swan Surrey BC

Hello everyone, I am new to the list and would like to post the names I am researching. I am a newbie at genealogy and so my information is not much. Any suggestions are most welcome on how to better my search as I am not familiar with searching in the States. I am looking for Washington NEESE born November 24 1816 in North Carolina, he married Leah Anderson in 1836 in Clay County. Their youngest son (there are 8 more I think) Elisha Huston Neese born January 25 1851 in Terre Haute Indiana. I have some information on Elisha Huston Neese as he went to Iowa and homesteaded and had his family there. I do not have any information on Leah Anderson or her parents or siblings. Would love to hear from someone who has some information or is searching these names. I know that there were more Neese' in Clay County but am not familiar with any of the names as of yet. Hope to hear from you...... Many thanks in advance Barb Swan Surrey BC Canada

(I assume you have all followed my earlier postings and will not take me to task for omitting the particulars here.) I see now why Bev had Sarah Luther who married John Long as the dau of Joseph and Mary Downs Luther. Janice Hagan, in her newsletter, seems to have skipped the children of Joseph (they were John, Malinda, Jacob, Lucinda per 1850 census). Then, she added the children of Michael under the name of Joseph. I imagine Janice, beint the good proof reader she is, probably noticed this later, but since was in her last issue never got corrected.

It is too bad we can't access Morris Orman's papers. He had done extensive research on the Luther family. He lived in west Des Moines, Iowa and was working on these same Luther/Kindle/Burgess/Orman families in the 70's. I wonder if his files could have been donated to the Iowa State Genealogical Society! His wife Leota was an active member for years. Mary

Ah--found it. In "Luther New" No II, 1989, Janice Hagon has a newspaper article about John Long. John was born 3 Feb 1812 in VA. His parents moved to IN when he was about 10 years old. (Boone Co History 1880 is noted.) He married 1st Sarah Luther and four children were born. These were Nelson; Laura m Clark Luther; Julia m Sylvanus Bennett; Maria married Jacob Kendall. When Sarah passed away, the oldest child was 11 and the youngest was three. John remarried to Mary A Luther, a distant cousin of Sarah, and they had two children, Newton and Ira. He married a 3rd time to Rebecca Sturdivant, they had one son, Bennie, who died young. Now all I need is some dates. So--he married both Sarah and Mary! Patience Long who married William Luther must have been the sister of John Long, right?

I am desperatly searching for any info on Campbell Haddow who married jemima Wallace in 1864 in Clay Co. that is all that I can find on them. they had 3 children William, Sarah, and Catherine will someone please help me!!! I cannot find anything on them. I have looked everywhere!!! thanks Yvonne

Patience was supposedly born about 1807. She married William Luther, probably about 1822/1824, presumably in or around Clay County. He died about 1844. According to the probate court records, she married Benjamin Lee in 1851. It is said by early researchers that William, born 1788, was first married to someone else and had three children, William, Lucinda, and Catherine. These children would have been pretty well grown by the time Patience married William. It is interesting to me that none of these children shared in the estate when their father died. Patience received 1/3 of the estate as her dower right. Her six children each received 1/6 of the remaining part. Did Patience perhaps die before 1860? I see that her two younger children, Minerva and William Howard Luther are living with older sisters in 1860. Anyway, how does she fit into what is known of the Long family?

Mary A Luther was born 1840 in Clay Co, the dau of Joseph Luther and Mary Nicholson. She m 4 May 1856 to Andrew Hicks. I have their children as Joseph b 1856 and Malinda b 1863, both of whom died young. Did they have any other children?

Yesterday I copied some records from the probate court, book A, in which Christian Luther files his settlement of the estate of (apparently) his brother, William, who died 29 Jan 1851, and also his father, Michael, who died 27 Jan 1851. (An epidemic?) Both of these administrations were begun before the courthouse burned. The estate of Michael appears to have been settled Nov. 16,1854 and recorded in February 23,1855. The estate of William Luther was settled February 16,1855, and was recorded in February 24,1855. The heirs of both were the same, William apparently having died unmarried. The heirs were Polly Luther, the widow of Michael, Christian Luther, Marilda Kindal, nancy Harris, Mary A Luther, and the heirs of Sarah Long. This indicates to me that the old family group sheet which I have in my files is substantially correct, although there are a few obvious guesses, particularly regarding the ages of children. Les Johnson had that one of the wives of John long was Mary Luther. Since I am sure I have seen something, perhaps in a printed history, to indicate that Laura Long married Clark Luther, and was the daughter of John long and Sarah Luther, it seems there was an error regarding John's wife's name. I am anxious to know about this, because I would like to know if the children as listed by Les are actually the "heirs Of Sarah Long."

The inquiry I have is for EARL LAWSON, born in 1906. His parents were HARVEY LAWSON and LULA COBBLE. Harvey Lawson was said to be 1/2 cherokee.

Hello Folks, I have a query from a lady who is searching for Harvey Lawson, born in 1906. His parents were Earl Lawson and Cobble. They lived in Vigo/Clay County. Harvey moved to Ohio. Mary
