I Googled it and came up with a martial arts reference. But the newspaper item sounds like they actually kicked something. If so, what did they kick? Was this really a competition for a world record? Wonder if it ever made it into the Olympics, whatever it is. Jeanne

I was wondering the same thing myself. I think it may be in New York state. The reason I say this is because it stated the big family of the COUNTRY???? I tried locating the family myself, can't remember what county off the top of my head but there is a Olean in New York. Deborah

What you need to find the answer to this is Town/County search: http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi.

You may also find Iowa Communities and Counties (Past & Present) on the IAGenWeb state website, which also shows Olean in Keokuk county: http://iagenweb.org/state/places/o.htm Of course, once you narrow-down the county, the best place to find county information is to visit an IAGenWeb county site. The Keokuk site explains that Olean was a post office in Jackson Township. Post office names so often identified regions and were often synonymous with the idea of a town and sometimes became towns. Here is a Jackson Township history that references Olean on the Keokuk IAGenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~iakeokuk/histories/jacksontwp.htm Steve Iowa State Census Project Coordinator for IAGenWeb. http://iagenweb.org/census/ Iowa Co., Iowa Coordinator for IAGenWeb. http://iagenweb.org/iowa/ (next to Keokuk Co.!)

Davenport Daily Leader Davenport, Scott, Iowa January 29, 1897 IOWA ITEMS While George Roland of Union, was driving to Eldora last week the tongue of the wagon broke, and falling to the ground, stopped the wagon instantly, throwing Mr. Roland out. A deep gash was cut on his cheek and his arm was severely sprained by the fall. His wounds were dressed by a doctor and nothing serious is anticipated. Willie Bosh, sentenced from Sioux county in 1890 to eleven years in Anamosa, has been pardoned. The crime of which he was convicted was killing his father, who made a vicious assault on his wife, the boy's mother. The wife and older son were also convicted. The woman was released a year ago and Willie will try to secure a pardon for his brother, who, he says, had no part in the killing. Olean claims the champion big family of the country, the head of which is W.A. Field. He is the happy father of 31 children, twenty-seven of whom live at home with papa and mamma. The father is 57 years old and the interesting brood consists of three sets of quadruplets, five sets of triplets, three sets of twins, while one by some strange mishap came into the world singly. Thirty-one of these children are living eight being boys. - -Ridgeway Evening Star. Another gun that wasn't loaded has turned up at Sioux Center. This particular gun was discovered at the home of J. Kuyper, northwest of Sioux Center, last Friday. It was a revolver of the vintage of 1776, and Albert Moss was the discoverer. He snapped the gun at a number of young people who were present, "just for fun" and struck Miss Agnes Kuyper in the jaw, inflicting a dangerous and ugly wound. The young lady was at once driven to Sioux Center, where the local physicians extracted the bullet. Frank Russeau, aged 12, lost his life in Laurel lake, Fall River, last week and a small boy named Le Claire had a narrow escape. With several companions they were skating on the lake near the Bourne mills, when the ice broke and the two lads went under. Young Le Claire clung to the edge of the ice and was rescued by courageous lads of his own age after a long time. Young Russeau went down and was not seen afterwards. Search was made for the body but it was unsuccessful. L.C. Taylor, a well known crook of Council Bluffs, has been arrested in Omaha as a suspicious character and is being held pending investigation and the taking of his "picture" Bertillon system. Taylor is also known by the alias of Swope and his wife lives in Omaha, but he has always made Council Bluffs his headquarters. He has been over in Omaha so much recently that the justice of that city became suspicious and finally detectives Donahue and Hudson placed him under arrest.

Yes, I did mean Sioux Falls, SD where Roy Bailey died. He was buried in the cemetery at Flandreau, but she is not. His parents and brother are buried there also. Phoebe doesn't appear on the marriage index for SD after 1940, she's not on the Minnesota death index, not in the California death index, and not in the cemetery where her parents were buried. The Minnehaha county cemetery book is very incomplete so it has been no help at all. Hopefully, there is some relative of the family who has some information about Phoebe. Karolyn

Can't help you so far Karolyn but do you mean Sioux Falls in Minnehaha co, S.D? That's where the family was in 1930.

I forwarded Cathy Joynt Labath's post on the Quimby bank robbers to the White list and received this back on the White list. Thought it was interesting about the robbers' reactions. Jan Nelson To: <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2007 14:18:31 -0600 Subject: Re: [WHITE] White- Quimby bank robber 1904 This bank robbery info was interesting reading, but never caught my interest because I knew /hoped my husband's WHITE ancestors had never been to Iowa, except his father as a traveling salesmen who was too strait laced to rob a bank. Then it dawned on me that my side of the family had a connection to this bank robbery, and I knew that somewhere I had a Quimby 75 year anniversary book that had this info in it. This book has quite an interesting write up on the robbery in it that had occurred Dec. 16, 1903. Briefly- when the robbers escaped, they stole a horse team, buggy, harness from the brother of my great grandfather. Great grandfather was Ira Crawford, and his brother, Henry, had a stable barn near the bank in Quimby from whom they stole the team and buggy. Ira Crawford was a farmer, and Henry had a general store in Quimby and his wife Eva (Clites) was a dressmaker and hatmaker and had a little room in the store. Charles White was called; Charles "Jersey Slim" White, There are a number of pages on the topic, it likely could be order through inter library loan from Cherokee, IA, The article says, Jan. 19, 1904, only 36 days from their crime, the prisoners were taken to Anamosa to start serving their 7 year sentences. A 4th robber-Wilson , remained behind in the county jail in Cherokee, IA. One of the robbers took the authories over their escape route to Plymouth Co. IA where they had hidden the money in a haystack on the Henderson place. The robbers had only spent about $500 of the money. ---------------------- > .The article in the Qimby Anniversary book said-- "....the four men had been very quite and peaceful (in the county jail) until they received their sentences, .....opened up the batteries on Tuesday and the quiet of the jail was changed to something akin to pandemonium. .........they did so in language that would not look well in print. White was the most savage of the quartet. He was sore at Dunning and Hicks for being captured and getting them all into it." "Just think of it, he (White) shouted, "All captured and in a little country jail." > --so they weren't "completely" indifferent!!!!
