Hi Listers - I am interested in the Linkin name also. My husbands great grandfather was married a second time to a woman named Sarah Lincoln/Linkin. We thought they were married in Russia, but the birth certificate of one of their children says Sarah was born in the US. The obituary of another child gave her name as Sarah Linkin. Isaac Moris Pochter Born 16 April 1852, Russia Died 05 May 1915, Chicago, Cook, IL married Sarah Lincoln/Linkin 1884-1885 possibly in Dubuque, IA. Sarah Linkin was born 01 January 1860 and died 06 January 1940 in Chicago, Cook, IL >From her headstone, her father's given name was Leizor Aharon Were any of your Linkin families Jewish? If anyone has seen my Sarah Linkin in your travels, could you let me know?

Perry Hale has prepared plans for five handsome stores to be erected at Chariton. Monday evening about seventy-five friends of Mr. E.G. Segner and his estimable wife made a sudden call upon them at their residence on West avenue, with baskets in hand, to spend the evening and celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of their wedded life. J.S. Templin, of Iowa City, who for the past three years has been engaged in mining in Wyoming territory, arrived in the city Sunday morning. He bore with him a number of rare specimens of fossil leaves, fish, etc. which he intends donating to the state university. Who Wants a Postoffice! Mr. Thomas Burrus, postmaster at Franklin Mills, this county, has decided to move to his farm in Adams county next month. Yesterday he sent in his resignation as postmaster and recommended the discontinuance of the office as he can find no one willing to assume the duties. Since the burning of the grist mill there is no suitable place for the office and as the proprietor, Mr. Adam Temple, has decided not to rebuild the mill but will remove to Burlington to engage in the same line of business, there will be but little demand for a postoffice at Franklin Mills and it will probably be discontinued, and the people of that township will come to Burlington for their mail. Old Firm in New Location. Our genial friend, Henry Gabriel, has removed from 115 South Main to 311 North Main street, which he has fitted up in a tasty and creditable manner. This change of location is owing to an enlargement of the business in the manufacture of cigars and snuff on a larger scale than formerly. Mr. Gabriel is one of the old landmarks in the business world of Burlington, having begun the manufacture of cigars and snuff as early as 1852, and he can proudly look back upon an unblemished record as a merchant. It is well known that his goods are good and will stand competition. Hawkeye Glances -Shovel and pick brigade - a party of Americans at dinner -Love, it is said, goes where it is sent.

A Nevada man who was carried half a mile by a snow avalanche estimated the pressure at twenty-two tons to the square inch. Some men would have been content to simply know that they moved! Beginning to Assert Himself Chicago Journal - The Iowa man is beginning to assert himself. Judge Bowen, the recently elected United States senator from Colorado, is a native of Iowa, and now we learn that Mr. J.O.B.

Iowa February 20, 1908 Pardon Denied. The Iowa Board of Pardons refused to grant the petition for pardon in the case of Dr. J.W. Crofford, sent to the penitentiary from Clarke county. Dr. Crofford was a doctor at Lamoini in Decatur county, and was sent up for a criminal operation upon Maude Stone from the effects of which she died. The petition for pardon was circulated in Clarke and Decatur counties by Mrs. Croford, the wife of the prisioner, and was very numerously signed, but the Pardon Board thought it best to let the sentence of the court take its course. Dr. Crofford was sent for twelve years. Old Deed. A deed dated in 1865, made by Samuel Vernon and wife was filed in the recorder's office this week, conveying 80 acres of land to Eliza Vernon. Eliza Vernon sold the land to A. Lake the same year for $250, but failed to have her deed to the land recorded. James Hann bought the property from Mr. Lake and on looking up the title found that he was a deed short. Fortunately for him he was able to get the missing document. The eighty is worth $8,000 or more. -- Winterset News. Man Killed at Creston - Stepson Confesses Creston [Union co.], Feb. 18 - Lying dead in a pool of blood with a bullet hole through the left jaw severing the jugular vein, N.Z. Taylor, a confectionery merchant, was found in his apartments in his store building shortly before 8 o'clock last Thursday night. The discovery was made by Taylor's former wife from whom he has been divorced only a few months. She reported the murder to the police who made an immediate search of the premises, but found no clue to the murderer that they have made known. The revolver with which the shooting was done was missing. According to the officers the only possible motive for the crime was a personal one; no robery was attempted. Taylor and his wife, during their matrimonial experience, quarreled frequently and violently. After their divorce she continued her visits to his place of business and to his apartments and there sometimes quarrels followed. Mrs. Taylor said she went to her former husband's rooms last night to see him when she made the ghastly discovery of his body. Saturday evening about five o'clock Bert Hinderliter, the stepson of Nathan Z. Taylor, who was the victim of the cold blooded murder committed on the evening of the 13th of this month, was submitted to a most rigid examination which proved the final sweat, as after being confrinted with the fact that sufficient evidence was in the hands of the officers to send him to the gallows, and that the law would be more lienant with him should he tell the truth, he confessed without further hesitancy that he had fired the shots that ended the life of Nathan Z Taylor. Although the murderer confesses that he committed the deed, he refuses to connect his mother with the crime in any way; and the statements constituting his confession evidently shows that she was totally unaware that her son was intending to commit the crime, and futhermore, that she knew nothing of what had transpired until her son had gone to her home and notified her to the effect that Mr. Taylor was sick, and on going to the store with her son found her husband lying dead on the floor. The murderer is a man about thirty years of age and is unquestionably deficient mentally. He has always been hard of hearing, is partially tongue tied and speaks with a lisp. His weakness of mind and body have made him reserved and peculiar and his education and training have been neglected to such an extent to add to his peculiarities. His weaknesses are an inheritance, all the members of his family being afficted to a greater or less degree, one of his brothers being a bed ridden paralitic and another deaf and dumb. The crime was particularly cold blooded and the manner in which it was carried out and all the circumstances connected with it stamps the murderer as one in whom the moral sensibilities are even more evident than the physical pecularities. -------------------- Got After Affinity - An Osceola Wife Won't Stand For Any Nonsense of that Kind Mr. and Mrs. John Griffith with their two children have maintained an apparently happy home in Osceola for about three years last past. Mr. Griffith is a traveling man, large, pleasant and rather handsome, inclined to take the world easy, but seemed devoted to his family and generally managed to get in hime every Saturday to spend Sunday with his wife and children. The family were regular church attendants at one of the principal churches of the town. Mrs. Griffith is a lady of distinguished appearance, tall, with a pair of black eyes that indicate such snap and decision of character. In his meanderings over the state it is alleged that John met and was attracted to Mrs. Lithia Alice Barber, the divorced wife of Frank Tinsley, a prominent hotel man of Blakesburg, Iowa. So intimate had their acquaintance become that they registered at a Des Moines hotel as husband and wife. Mrs. Griffith seems to have been on the alert and was promptly on the spot to assert her rights as a wife. She filed charges against the woman, but the lady had gone to Ottumwa and it was there the warrant pursued her. When the constable undertook to serve the warrant and make the arrest Mrs. Barber drew a revolver and declared that she would resist arrest to her death, and that only her dead body could be taken. However she was promptly disarmed and was taken to jail, and the next morning she was taken to Des Moines to answer to the charge. Since the arrest of the woman Mr. Griffith has been at home with his family in Osceola, but it is said they are preparing to move away from town. They had almost concluded a contract to rent a house of Mrs. Kerns of this place, but this week gave notice they would not need the house as they were going away. The story has been widely ventilated in Des Moines and Ottumwa papers and for this reason we give space to it in the Democrat. ----------------------------- Small Pox in New Market Smallpos is gaing at the little city of New Market, Iowa, and business is practically paralyzed. Over sixty cases have been reported while there ar eno doubt many more of a milder nature that have not come under the notice of the authorities. So far there has been no deaths. Until recently it was hoped that the disease could be stamped out by isolating the different cases, and quarantining those who have been exposed. This methoc having proven ineffecacious, the whole town has now been quarantined. New Hampton, Iowa, Feb. 3 - Charles Suddaby, who resides a mile and a half south of town has something new in the line of freaks. This is nothing more nor less than a six legged calf. It is now about a week old, and to all appearances is as healthy as an [paper torn] Harvey News [Marion co.] - The entire community was shocked Saturday morning, Jan 25, to learn that Miss Della Shepherd, a well-known young lady, had died at six o'clock that morning from the effects of an acute attack of stomach trouble and complications resulting there from. Miss Shepherd was aged 23 years, 9 months and 1 day, the daughter of Eli Shepherd, who formerly resided here. She was employed at the Lewis restaurant, and took an outing the Sunday previous to her death, and it is said partook rather freely of confectionery in which hazelnuts walnuts and chocolate candy formed a part. She complained that evening, and suffered from that time until death relieved her terrible agony. Her father, brother and sister were present when she died, and Saturday evening departed with the remains to St. Charles, Iowa, where funeral services and burial took place Monday. She was a member of the Christian church. Death. Mrs. Condit, wife of a farmer of Liberty township, died at her home last week. She was a daughter of Rev. Morris and had lived in this county most of her life. Besides her husband she leaves three children who sincerely mouorn the loss of a noble wife and mother. Catch Turtles. The freezing over of sloughs along the Mississippi river has given opportunity for a new winter industry at Clinton and in that vicinity. It is turtle catching. The turtles are easily seen under the ice, where they remain half stupefied from the cold, until the hunters chop holes in the river's covering and catch them. Many men are taking part in the turtle hunt every day and are making money shipping the turtles to New York, where they are given fancy names and served in restaurants at fancy prices. Borth hard and soft shelled turtles are used. They are barrelled alive and shippped east, remaining alive several days in the barrells.

Burlington Hawk-Eye Burlington, Des Moines co. Iowa February 19, 1874 Agricultural College Investigation. Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 17 - Mr. Hoggatt, of Story county, testified before the Agricultural College Investigating Committee to-day, but his testimony was unimportant. No one else was called. Patrick Kennedy of Sioux City, while digging a cellar for his new house, exhumed a human skeleton, and has been compelled to put up his house on the alley end of the lot, as his wife declares she will never go into that cellar, and Mr. Kennedy has been put to so much trouble about it that sometimes he half wishes the man hadn't died. Judge James, of Council Bluffs, has been sending prairie chickens to Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati. It is thought by a slight surgical operation to one of the wings of each bird they can be permanently kept in the grounds. The keeper of the Cemetery has been very successful in taming and keeping many varieties of beautiful and rare birds which each year rear their young in the tickets and hedges within the enclosure. Death of an Old Citizen. Gilbert Goudy died at his residence in Franklin Township, this county, last Saturday. Mr. Goudy came here from the State of New York in the spring of 1837, and was a resident of the county from that time until the day of his death. He was a quiet, unobtrusive citizen, and much esteemed by those who enjoyed his acquaintance. His funeral was held at the Baptist Church, in Dodgeville, on Sunday, and was very largely attended. Fatal Runaway. Saturday, two young men named McCune and Walkinshaw were out sleigh-riding, in the northern part of the county, near Linton postoffice. The horses ran away and both of the gentlemen were thrown out. One of McCune's legs was fractured in two places, whilst Walkinshaw's skull was broken. The physicians state that the latter person cannot recover. Both of the young men are of very respectable families and are highly esteemed among their acquaintances. Hymen in the Sanctum. Mr. Charles H. Monger, city editor of the Dubuque Herald, was married Thursday evening to Miss Kate L. Adams, daughter of Hon. S.P. Adams, of that city. We tender our happy borther our heartiest congratulations and shall look for increased brilliancy and sparkle in his department hereafter. An exaggerated respect for old age leads us to avoid any professional puns on this pleasant occasion, and we will only hope that the charming bride will be happy a Monger new relations. Wolf Hunt Editor Hawk-Eye: Will you please give notice through your paper that there will be a meeting at Messenger Hall, in Danville, on Saturday, the 21st day of February, 1874, at one o'clock P.M., to make the necessary arrangements for a circular wolf hunt, on a large scale. All persons interested are invited to attend. The ladies of Durant, twenty-two miles west of Davenport, have inaugurated the Ohio temperance movement in this State. Thursday evening twelve ladies, led by Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Lane, the wives of leading ministers of the town, went to the saloon of one McElray, and begged him to discontinue the business of whisky selling. They took with them the wives of two inebriates carrying babes in their arms, which were held up before the bar-keeper, while an earnest personal appeal was made to him. McElray received the ladies respectfully, and made good promises, but has not yet closed his saloon. The movement will probably be kept up. The State. The weather yesterday was very conducive to Spring fever. Mrs. H.N. Kellogg is writing a history of Decatur county. The population of Muscatine is fairly lop-sided with the mumps. John Post, who stole the registered letter out of a Midland mail car, is at large on bail. Gentle Anna Dickinson will startle the people of Lyons with her conundrum, "What's to Hinder?" next Monday. Mrs. Bridget Tobin died at Long Grove, near Davenport, on Wednesday morning, at the advanced age of one hundred years. Mr. J.P. Yates, a well-known citizen has been arrested and confined in the jail at Keokuk for having one wife in that city and another in Illinois. Wolves are drawing their daily sustenance from the sheep folds in the vicinity of Dexter, with a dexterity that baffles the dextrous efforts of the grangers to capture them. Mr. McDonald is the dryest toper in Dubuque since Mrs. Ann McDonald has publicly prohibited all saloon-keepers, under penalty of prosecution, from selling him any more liquor of any kind. Thomas Arnold, of Davenport, tried to drive across the Mississippi, Wednesday, with a load of beer, but the ice gave way, the beer was unloaded and shipped to St. Louis in bulk, under the ice, and one of the horses was drowned. The ice bridge is no longer safe. Last Saturday, Mr. Haley called at the residence of Mr. H. Merritt, a farmer living in the vicinity of Dubuque, and foolishly threw a bottle containing wolf poison into the kitchen stove. A violent explosion followed, which made scrap iron of the stove and severely burned Mr. Merritt's two daughters. A pair of mules and a coal wagon belonging to John Dwire, of Davenport, broke through the ice while crossing the river Tuesday afternoon, and were rescued with great difficulty. George Sheeshly a young man who teaches school near Pella, shot himself last Wednesday while carelessly handling a revolver, the ball entering his left breast, inflicting a serious wound. "Them as has must lose." The residence of Mr. John M. Eldridge of Davenport, was completely ransacked by burglars recently, the villains carrying off an old pair of boots and an empty pocket book. Miss Hattie Garland, dress maker, Davenport, is her address, young gentlemen. Old grandfather in Indiana died last week, $2,000 in bank and a valuable farm, a handsome garland for somebody to wear. ----- Chillicothe Morning Constitution Chillicothe, Missouri February 19, 1890 Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Orr returned yesterday from Ottumwa, Iowa, where Mrs. Orr has been spending a week with friends. C.A. McKibbin will depart for Bloomfield, Iowa, to-night, having resigned his position at Benge's drug store. He has made many friends here who will regret his leaving. L.H. Young came down from Ottumwa yesterday on business. ----- The Sun-Herald Lime Springs, Howard co. Iowa February 19, 1931 Lime Springs Had Band 43 Years Ago A picture of a Lime Springs Cornet Band of some forty-three years ago was called to our attention the other day. John Arsers was the leader of the band at that time, has been at various times during these forty-three years, and is today. Forth-three years age John, he had a pretty little black mustache, but even then his hair was getting thin. Alt Johnson is the only member of this particular band that is still a resident of Lime Springs. If it were not for giving away his age, we would say that Alt was 16 years old at the time. Alt has almost reached the time when he may be called an old settler. Geroge Hall was a member of the band, and though George doesn't live in Lime Springs any more, he makes frequent visits here, and we think just as much of him as we would if he really lived here. The other members of htis band have scattered to the different parts of the country and we would know the address of but few. The names of the members in the picture and the instruments they played in as follows: George Hall, tenor; Fred Williams, tenor; White Cook, tenor; Hans Lovell, tenor; Jim Kepple, cornet; Frank House, cornet; Owen Owen, cornet; Will H. Thomas, cornet; Smith Cole, alto; J.M. Arsers, cornet; Win Sanborn, bass; Allea Milier, snare drum; Alt Johnson, bass drum. Mr. Johnson tells us that the picture was taken near a row of apple trees that were to the north of where Richard Frost's present home stands.
