I have a couple questions about Clarke Co. Does anyone know where Green Bay Cemetery is located? I have two different lists for cemeteries.....one is Clarke Co Cemeteries - Green Bay Section 1 which lists Alexander HART as dying at the age of 81yrs2mos1day, and the WPA list that says his age was 64yrs2mos1day. Does anyone have the correct info? Joseph WRY is buried in Maple Hill Cemetery in Osceola....does anyone know if there are any markings on the stone? And lastly, could someone tell me the headings on the 1856 census (Clarke Co.) I have the names, ages, sex, but then I don't know what the next columns are. Thanks for any help provided.

Davenport Daily Republican Davenport, Scott, Iowa January 4, 1903 GENERAL NEWS OF IOWA Paymaster Robbed. Bussey, Jan. 3 - W.P. Sullivan, paymaster of the Bussey coal mine, was held up by three robbers early today and robbed of $1,800. After the robbers obtained the money Sullivan secured a shotgun and shot one of the men, who was captured. The other two escaped with the money. Teacher Brings Suit. Fort Dodge, Jan. 3 - Miss Lucy Taft, a school teacher of Fort Dodge, filed a petition in a suit for $10,000 damages against R.A. Schroeder, one of the prominent merchants of this city. The suit is on two separate counts for $5,000 each. The plaintiff alleges that while she was in Schroeder's store, she was accused of larceny by the defendant, who said that she had stolen goods from the store. This the plaintiff denies, and askes $5,000 damages for injury to her good name and character. She also sues for $5,000 damges for alleged injury done her person by defendant. The suit has caused a sensation here on account of the prominence of both parties. Plucky Girl Catches Thief. Des Moines, Jan. 3 - Miss Nellie Jay, of 1324 East Des Moines street, employed in the book store of M.H. Hartung & Co., 418 East Sixth street, by her coolness and bravery, this morning captured a book thief as he was leaving the store with "With Winnie of Venice" and Dumas' "Chicot, the Jester", under his coat. She seized the burglar by the coat tails and made him lay down the books, then beckoning to Al. Shope and a companion out on the sidewalk to hold the would-be robber, she ran to the telephone and called the police. A few minutes later Officer Hedricks arrived and the man was taken to the bastile. He gave his name as W.H. Thompson and said that he lived at 1220 East Court avenue. Last Saturday Miss Jay says she saw him in the store and when he was gone she missed several books, among them being Maries Corelli's "Murder of Delicia" and Irving Bachelor's "D'ri and I." The man was also seen to take the books by Bessie Walters of 1348 Grand avenue. A Stay for Hayworth Fort Dodge, Jan. 3.- Nathan Hayworth, the Fort Dodge boy confined in a Utah prison under sentence of death, has received a stay of execution, and his case will be heard in the supreme court. The information was received by the boy's father, J.R. Hayworth, of this city, from Attorney Webber, who is defending Nathan Hayworth. The case is expected to come up in the June session. The appeal was granted on new evidence collected in behalf of the defense. Hayworth's case is now considered strong, and with the new evidence, if a new trial is granted, prospects for a verdict of acquittal are favorable. The claim that Hayworth's confession was forced is strengthened by the testimony of a young woman who overheard a conversation between the prison officials and Hayworth in the latter's cell. The young woman was confined to the prison on a charge resulting from a saloon crusade conducted by her. Charges Against Postmaster. Packwood, Jan. 3 - The postoffice inspector was at Abingdon to examine the condition of affairs connected with the postmaster. Charges of opening and reading letters were preferred by parties against Postmaster Ed. Best. Also graver offenses, it is alleged, were committed by him. Mrs. Jennie Snider, who was assistant postmaster at one time, testified to the inspector in the presence of witnesses, that she saw Mr. Best open three letters; that she read them, but had no part in opening them. The case will be tried in the January term of court. It is hoped that Mr. Best, who has heretofore borne an unblemished reputation, may clear himself. Held Up and Robbed. Mason City, Jan. 3 - Tom Duffy, the agent at Portland for the Milwaukee road, was held up by two masked robbers and robbed of $165 and his watch. This depot was robbed only two weeks ago for $35 from the express company and a quantity of valuable merchandise. Leaves Fortune to Poor.

Davenport Daily Republican Davenport, Scott,Iowa Jan 2, 1903 GENERAL NEWS OF IOWA Archbishop Keane Defeated Sioux City, Jan. 1 - Archbishop Keane of Dubuque has been defeated in the famous suit brought by C.J. Sherman and John Hanfeldt of Williams, Iowa, to recover $2,430 which the plaintiff subscribed to help build the church at Williams. Judge Dyer held they were entitled to recover this amount with interest. The plaintiffs made their subscriptions conditional upon a dual language-speaking priest being sent to Williams. They contend the church did not keep its part of the contract, and the court upheld the claim. The case is likely to be appealed. Sudden Death of John Johnson Marshalltown, Jan. 1 - While sitting in a chair at his boarding house John Johnson suddenly dropped dead. It is believed that his death may have been due to a blow on the head, which was struck by Albert Walker with a pick while the two men were working on the Northwestern road as section men. Johnson was attacked by Walker November 5 with a pick and was quite badly injured. At the time, however, it was thought his injuries were only temporary. He never returned to work, however, and while he did not get much worse, he did not improve rapidly. On the night of November 6, in the same house where Johnson died, Walker attacked his landlady, Mrs. Olson, with the intention of murdering her. The woman struggled with the man and secured the revolver with which he had threatened her, only to find Walker had another weapon. Walker fired a number of shots, but failed to kill the woman. Walker was placed in jail, where he admitted his intention to kill Mrs. Olson and her two children. Now Johnson's sudden death may result in a charge of murder. A postmortem examination will be held in all probability to ascertain the cause of death. Has Many Centenarians.

He was sentenced by Judge Elwood to the penitentiary at Anamosa for a term of ten years, the full limit of the law. The sentence meets with the hearty approval of the public. Suicide at Leon. Leon, Jan. 1 - Tom Koger, aged 38 years, committed suicide at his residence south of Leon, shooting himself through the head with a 32-calibre revolver. Death was instantaneous.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. 1 - At Vinton today Dr. O.B. Beller waived his preliminary examination and was held to the grand jury under bonds of $1,000. He was arrested for threatening to kill his former fiance and is suspected of having placed dynamite in her home for the purpose of blowing her up. Miss Hill, the complaining witness, was recently married to a Colorado dentist, which precipitated the crisis. Since his arrest Beller has suddenly married the girl who gave the testimony which led to his arrest and it is supposed he did so to prevent her, as his wife, from testifying against him. Two Saloons Stopped. Waterloo, Jan. 1 - A decree of the court has made it necessary for two Waterloo saloonkeepers to go out of business. These are John Guy and Jake Dunnwald, whose places of business are on Commercial street. They ceased liquor selling today at the stroke of ten, and can not re-enter the business anywhere in the Tenth judicial district within a year at least. The cases of the state vs. John Guy and the state vs. Jake Dunnwald have been on the court docket for some time.

Miller were killed to prevent the spread of glanders, with which his eight horses are infected.

This is a pretty tough blow to Miller, but he is not the kind to get discouraged. He bought a new team and is hustling goods at his usual gait. The Teapot Exploded. Chariton, Jan. 1 - Mrs. J.F. Hendrickson, a widow, who resides on a farm near the junction, nothwest of town, met with a most painful accident.

Seven head of horses, a lot of hogs, harness and a large quantity of hay and grain was destroyed. About $3,000 was the amount of the loss, upon which there was $1,800 insurance. - A raid was made on the saloon of John Larkin, at Akron, last Monday night, and quite a quantity of liquor found and destroyed. This made John mad, and as he did not like to take all the blame, he filed a complaint against Mr. Farnham, an old and highly respectable citizen, who keeps a drug store. The raid which followed the information, however, disclosed the fact that he had quite a large stock of the ardent on hand, contrary to law. - In the state Teachers' association at Des Moines, Wednesday, officers for the next year were chosen as follows: President, W.F. King, of Cornell; vice-presidents, A.C. Ross, of Hampton, L.F. Delong, of Pella, A.F. Pitcher [or Pilcher], of Keosauqua; secretary, W.N. Hull, Cedar Falls; treasurer, D.W. Lewis, of Washington; educational council, B.C. Mathews, of Indianola, T.J.R. Perry, of Freemont county; delegates to the national association, H.H. Seerley, of Oskaloosa.

My Great Grandfather, Mons Christianson is listed as railroad section leader, when he married Sina Larson on July 3, 1892 in Bode, Humboldt County. They were in a boarding house Livermore, Humboldt County. She worked in the boarding house as a servant. Any information on the railroad that ran through both Livermore and Bode would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for possible railroad records. Thanks in advance.

Here is another good possibility in Jasper Co 1895. Actually, the only reasonable match I saw: James R. Wood 50 Unk Adie Wood 48 Wisconsin Maud Wood 18 M?? County IA (Marshall?) Any M.

James, Adie, and Maud E. are also shown in 1880 Jasper, James from MA, Addie from WI. James also appears in 1870 Hardin Co this time from New York. Both census show he was a RR(?) station agent/clerk. Note that the grandmother Mary is not necessarily the mother of John's father. RC
