Thought someone might be interested in this info. Going through the 1900 census for Pulaski co, IN, looking for some of MY ancestors, I happened upon an Ephriam KIMES living w/Alexander Robins. Here's the two families with other info collected and shared by another KIMES researcher: Descendants of Ephraim Marshall Kimes 1 Ephraim Marshall Kimes b: 1854 KY d: Aft. 1900 .. +Margaret M.

Robins b: July 1891 d: Aft. 14 April 1926 Ephraim and Lucinda were the children of Peter and Rachel (Hensey) Kimes, descendents of the KIMES branch that moved to Bourbon and Nicholas Cos, Kentucky. P.S. This is NOT my husband's KIMES branch; his came from PA > OH > Kosciusko Co, IN.

Surnames: Hansen, Hanson, Herndon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3h.2ADI/581 Message Board Post: I am trying to locate any information on Yeppe and Martha Hansen who had a farm in the Francesville area. They adopted my father, James and his brother Clarence (whose real last name was Herndon), in the early part of the 1900's, probably between 1910 and 1920. James and Clarence went to high school in Rensalaer. James and Clarence were also in a plane crash on August 30, 1931, on their way to the Francesville area, from Lansing, Illinois. Clarence was killed in the crash. Yeppe died around 1932, and Martha died about 1963 at Ruff Nursing Home in Knox, Indiana. If you have any information at all on any members of the family, please contact me.

Your plea to find relatives reminded me of what one of my distant relatives did in the same situation. She'd found flowers at gravesites near some ancestors, so wrote her name and address, ph. number, and email address on a piece of paper; put the info in a zip-lock bag, and somehow attached the baggie to the site. Doesn't seem like a "good" thing to leave all that info for just anyone to "collect" but it DID yield results. When the distant relative visited the next holiday, he picked up the baggie and telephoned my cousin. Turns out HE is a dedicated genealogist and shared all he's found. We now have a fairly complete "picture" of this family line and info on a family that had been lost to the rest of us since bef 1860.

Hello, My records show that Eliza Eikelberner married William Demoss June 10, 1869. Eliza was the daughter of Daniel Eikelberner. His mother was Rebecca Weiser Eikelberner. Rebecca was my Great Great Grandmother. Her younger son George who is buried in the Mt Hope Cemetery in Logansport is my Great Grandfather. Daniel and Rebecca are buried in the Winimac Cemetery Are you doing research on the Eikelberner family? My information goes back to 1794 and then I hit a brick wall. I was surprised to find flowers on the graves in Logansport and also in Winimac. I would love to find out who put the flowers on the graves that I saw when I was visiting the area several weeks ago, I know the direct descendents of George Eikelberner from Logansport and none of us live at all close so it must have been an Eikelberner from Daniel's side of the family. Any information would be most helpful. Thank you, Helen from Houston, Texas

Hello Pulaski County, Indiana, Researchers, I believe many of you would like to have your own copies of "COUNTIES OF WHITE and PULASKI, INDIANA, HISTORICAL and BIOGRAPHICAL (Chicago: F. A. Battey, 1883;). When I received this email through the Rootsweb INPULASK-L, list, I also had received an email from the INFAYETTE-L (Fayette County, Pennsylvania) Rootsweb list which gave to Links where County History Resources could be obtained as well as other items of interest to Researchers, so let me start with posting those links and the person Kathie in Montana, who provided the information: If you would like to thank Kathie in Montana, here is her email address jenkins@montana.com These are the two companies that I have dealt with for reprints of old books. http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ http://www.brookhavenpress.com/ KathieInMontana The man who has nothing to boast of but his illustrious ancestry is like the potato - the best part under ground.-- Thomas Overbury "There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up." Here is what "COUNTIES OF WHITE and PULASKI, INDIANA, HISTORICAL and BIOGRAPHICAL (Chicago: F. A. Battey, 1883;) has to say about Railroads of the County and of Francesville. Page 465: "Railroads. - In 1853-54, the New Albany & Salem Railroad was built across the western part of the county. This was an important event, and brought with it renewed growth and prosperity. In 1859, the road became the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad and this is yet the name." [My note: this is the Railroad that Mike Smith was referring in his email, that runs north to south through western Pulaski County through Francesville and Meadarysville.] "In 1860-61, the Chicago & Cincinnati Railroad was built across the central part of the County. This was a great era for Winamac, which for years, had been anxiously waiting the appearance of the iron horse. Since then it has been no trouble to float the commerce of the county. [My note: As stated this railroad went through Winamac, and it was a north to south. This railroad no longer runs through Winamac. It stops just south of town. The rails north of there have been removed.] "The Atlantic Railroad was built across the northeastern corner in 1882. These roads were assisted somewhat by the citizens, but to what extent cannot be learned." Page 541, From the Chapter on Salem Township, the section is titled "Francesville.- The town of Francesville was laid out by JAMES BROOKS, of New Albany, President of the L. N. A. & C. Railroad, on Sections 4 and 9, that part on the north side of Montgomery street being on Section 4, and that part on the south side, on Section 9. The town was named in honor of the proprietor's daughter, whose name was Frances. It is a thriving little town of about 300 inhabitants. The ground on which the town is situated was entered by WILLIAM REES, who had about ten acres under cultivation, and had erected a small log house, which stood within the present limits of town. REES sold out to BROOKS. The town was re-platted in 1862, by J. M. H. ALLISON, at which time the eastern tier of blocks was vacated, as were also nine blocks on the west side. The first house in the town was built by ALONZO STARR, in 1853, for a store and dwelling. STARR put in a stock of goods at once, and this was the first store in town. The building stood on the southeast corner of Bill Street and Lyman Avenue. Lyman Avenue was named for GEORGE LYMAN, at that time Secretary of the L. N. A. & C. Railroad. The second house was built by Theodore F. STOKES, in the winter of 1853-54, for a dwelling. The first hotel in the town was built opposite the depot, and is the same building that is now called the Commercial House. It was built by WILLIAM IMES in the winter of 1853-54. IMES kept hotel in the north part, and a man named McCONAHA in the south part. The last named gentleman went out in a short time, and J. C. FARRIS and WILLIAM IMES kept hotel and a store together for a time. Then it became a hotel exclusively, and has remained so to the present time, and has been kept by P. A. COLLEY, JOHN S. RISHLING, J. C. BREWER, SAMUEL RISHLING, and various other persons. The present proprietor is WILLIAM CONN. The second store building was erected by SAMUEL RISHLING, opposite the depot. At first it was a very small affair, his stock consisting of little else than cakes and beer; but he increased it from time to time, as his means increased, until finally it became the leading store in town. DR. R. MATTINGLY started the first drug store in town in 1856. He kept it for awhile, and sold out to J. T. BLEDSOE, who still owns it. J. H. MALLON opened the store in which he is still doing business, about 1870. He is probably doing the leading business of the town." Another book titled "PULASKI COUNTY SESQUICENTENNIAL", Copyright 1990 By the Pulaski County Historical Society , Inc. Winamac, Indiana. Attebery Printing, Inc., Logansport, Indiana, 1990, provides a little more information on Francesville, Salem Township. Looking at the Table of Contents, the Information on Salem Township was by Janet Onken. Page 255, "THE TOWN OF FRANCESVILLE Some of the first settlers of what is now Salem Township were hunters and trappers who found an abundance of fish and game along the Metamonong River (My note: The Monon") and stayed to make their homes in the area. Others followed and, over the years, they too settled on the eastern side of the river on the higher knolls. Early congregations of settlers could also be found in the southeastern sections, Stone's Bridge area, and the southwestern area of the township, Nauvoo." "As the last leg of the Louisville, New Albany, and Chicago railroad was surveyed between LaFayette and Michigan City, the water and wood supplies were strategically located to replenish the steam locomotive. At one such location MR. BROOKS, the railroad president, saw the potential of the vast level prairie, purchased the acreage surrounding the water tower and wood shed, plotted a town, and named it Francesville after his daughter, Frances." Regarding Catholic church in Francesville. From the book "PULASKI COUNTY SESQUICENTENNIAL",page 251, "ST. FRANCIS SOLANO CATHOLIC CHURCH "The construction of the railroad brought several families into the area who were of the Catholic religion. These individuals were administered to by priests who traveled via horseback or railcar from Winamac or LaFayette to hold services in the homes of the parishioners. By 1867, it was decided to establish a mission at Francesville; a small frame building was erected near the northeast corner of Montgomery and Brown Streets. This church was generally under the care of priests from Reynolds who would use the railroad to travel not only to Francesville, but to other new congregations in Medarysville and San Pierre." "In 1933, the church at Francesville was put under the charge of the North Judson priest, celebrating Mass every Sunday. Early in 1945, ST. FRANCIS SOLANO Catholic Church at Francesville became an independent parish with FATHER JOHN HOSINSKI as the first pastor. FATHER GILBERT ESSER of St. Joseph College assisted and in 1947 took over. Under his leadership, construction of a new church building was initiated in 1951, modeling it after Spanish missions. Present pastor (1990) is FATHER WILLIAM DONOHOE, assisted by FATHER PAUL WHITE of St. Joseph College. There are approximately forty-five families associated with this church who come from Francesville and the surrounding area." From the book "COUNTIES OF WHITE and PULASKI, INDIANA, HISTORICAL and BIOGRAPHICAL (Chicago: F. A. Battey, 1883;) page 544, "The Catholic Church in the town of Francesville was erected in the latter part of 1866, and completed in the spring of 1867, at a cost of about $900. Priest in charge at time church was built, FATHER BURNS; present priest (1883) FATHER JOHN SCHROEDER."
