RIPPEL Jr. Charles was born about 1889 in Missouri to Charles Augustus RIPPEL Sr.(Gus)and Sarah A. HIATT, I believe. The two known siblings are John A. RIPPEL Sr. and Robert W. RIPPEL (Bobby). The RIPPEL family were showmen for years and had a circus named the RIPPEL Bros. Show. The circus wintered in Indiana, (various towns, including Brazil, Clay Co.) for several years in the early 20th century.They may have also worked for other traveling groups. This makes them hard to track down. Known locations: 1890s St. Joseph,Buchanan Co., Missouri 1910 census Brazil, Clay Co., Indiana (before this they were traveling in Indiana and elsewhere.) 1920 census Taylor Magesterial Dist., Orange Co., Virginia (Charles Jr. and family are found living with another show family, the LEEs) 1930 census Iron City,Seminole Co., Georgia (Charles Jr. and family, still listed as "Showman") Wives on the census are listed as Mabel and Margaret. Children listed are: Violet, Virginia, Lovella B., and William A. If any of this sounds familiar, please contact me. My husband has not known much of his extended family.

Mary, Caseyville and Diamond are one in the same. My grandparents lived there, but when they got a post office someone previaled with name Diamond. Old timers still call it Caseyville. The records of the Catholic Church in Diamond are in the Morman library system and I have some of them.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xh.2ADE/2033 Message Board Post: Web site update 3/11/05 http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/ The Historic Atlas Series has been updated to include township and precinct level atlases from Pennsylvania and Kentucky. By popular request, we are currently digitizing more of these kinds of atlas and map data, and will be adding more in the coming weeks. Kentucky: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/ky_map/ky_index.html Pennsylvania: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/pa_map/pa_index.html At the present, atlas CD's are offered from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Missouri, West Virginia and Virginia will be added later this year so please feel free to check back often. The Historic Atlas Series may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century places and place names. Many early property owners are indicated on the township and precinct level maps making these a great resource for identifying 19th century land ownership. Each atlas includes the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms * land ownership - and much, much more Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of high resolution Adobe PDF formatting, map documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images, and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The map data has been created and configured using the Adobe Acrobat Reader (6.0) for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be viewed in earlier versions of the software as well; however, optimum use of the data can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included on each CD.

I'm not familiar with Caseyville, but Diamond is in Parke County, IN, just north of Dick Johnson Twp. Clay County, IN. There was a Catholic Church there. About 29 years ago, the building was still standing. Try contacting the Clay County Genealogical Society at _research@ccgsilib.org_ (mailto:research@ccgsilib.org) . They have some material available about the churches around the area. Mary G

The Parke County genealogy website has excerpts from the History of Churches in Parke County; it mentions a large Roman Catholic society that met in a house in Diamond and also a Greek Catholic church in Diamond: http://www.rootsweb.com/~inparke/1927ChurchAndCemetery.htm Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary2gard@aol.com To: INCLAY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 7:51 PM Subject: Re: [INCLAY] Catholic Church in Caseyville I'm not familiar with Caseyville, but Diamond is in Parke County, IN, just north of Dick Johnson Twp.

Hi to all, My great-grandfather attended a Catholic Church in Caseyville; my mother says the church (she says it was in Diamond) is no longer open. Does anyone know the name/history of this church? Many thanks, Rhonda Hebert Storrs, CT
