Bob, yes, that was me all right. It took a lot of looking since I didn't get "Icky's" obituary yet. I have to order it yet, got to get busy. He was my Mother's cousin. I knew his parents. He was 27 years old when he was killed. The other ones I posted, Howard Dietrich, was also my Mother's cousin. James Foreman, is my boy's cousin. I had many who served in the different wars, but none that died while serving that I know of except these three. Thanks for writing. I was sitting here crying while I was composing the memorials. Marty Smith Wells, Pierceton, Indiana

I don't remember if you were the correspondent, but a few months ago someone asked if I was was researching the Kring family. (I was doing research on the families of North Liberty, including BRIGGS and IRVIN). I don't think I had a chance to reply, but your family member, whose life was so tragically cut short by his WW2 heroism, will be be remembered by my family this Memorial Day. Thank you for posting, and grateful thanks to your family member for his service. ---Bob Robertson In a message dated 5/28/2006 10:41:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: In Memory of Charles Irvin "Ichabod" Kring, who gave his life under Japanese fire, on Luzon, Philippine Islands.

Its also interesting to note that the Palmers recently reacquired Southlawn within the last few years. The cemetery was originally called Palmer Prairie up until the 1920's. Rick B

Bonnie, I thought you might like to know Southlawn Cemetery has a website you can search. I hope someday all cemeteries will have information for genealogists available online. _http://southlawn.palmerfuneralhomes.com/_ (http://southlawn.palmerfuneralhomes.com/) Good luck! Kandee Block-Tinkel

Hi Bonnie! Nice to have you on the list! :-) I'm Rick B, your friendly neighborhood List Administrator. I don't live that far from Southlawn so I'm quite familiar with it. Its easy to get to and find. Its on US 31 South and you enter in from there, and its a fairly good sized cemetery. For your Rosann Kratser, she's buried in that north section behind the small brick office building about 32 rows in. When you pull into the main drive hang a left. Her gravestone has 1859-1930. If you need additional directions, please let me know.

Thank you Rick! I make this 5000-6000 mile drive on a 4 week vacation doing research every summer. I can't tell you how much time I've lost trying to find a cemetery (the really rural ones) and then in the larger cemeteries trying to find a grave. Sometimes I happen to arrive on a Sunday or late afternoon when the offices are closed. So every year I get better at this...asking for help and information *ahead* of time :) I always pictured in my mind that Rosanna was buried in a small rural cemetery. I've looked for "South Lawn Cemetery" occassionally on the internet and never found anything --- again leading me to think it would be a small cemetery... And then as a response to my email last night I find out it's really "Southlawn Cemetery". I can't believe I overlooked that thought!! If you happen to have an index listing can you tell me if there are Gallagher's buried there also? Rosanna's maiden name was Gallagher and it's really her grandfather that I'm *most* interested in. His name was Salathiel Gallagher -- a pretty unusual given name for a Gallagher -- if I ever find one with this name I'm pretty sure he'll be mine! Anyway Salathiel Gallagher was likely born about 1800-1810. His son Gibson Gallagher was born in White Pigeon, St. Joseph county, Michigan in 1831. I don't know how long Salathiel lived or where he died. This will be my first trip to Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. I'll print and take your directions with me! Appreciate any help you or your listers can provide :) Best wishes, Bonnie (Gallagher) Gilson Phoenix, Arizona ---- Richard Berkheiser <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Bonnie! > > Nice to have you on the list! :-) I'm Rick B, your friendly neighborhood > List Administrator. > > I don't live that far from Southlawn so I'm quite familiar with it.

Hi all, New subscriber here... Planning my first visit to South Bend next month. I am especially interested in finding a 1930 burial at the "South Lawn Cemetery" for Rosanna Kratser. Can anyone tell me about this cemetery? How large? Is there an office on the property?

Newspaper Tidbits from Rick B Tuesday, May 23, 2006 "The South Bend Weekly Tribune", Saturday, January 15, 1898, page 9 Engineer Osborne Killed. Mr. Andrew Osborne received a telephone message from Chicago Tuesday conveying the unwelcome news that his brother, William F.
