If someone has had their "antique" family Bible rebound, I would like some recommendations. Hopefully some place in southeast Iowa. Thank you,

Joey, I do not know anything about your Albert J. Stark, but do have some advice on researching this type of event. If I were seeking data on this event I would do the following: 1) Contact the libraries, genealogical, and historical societies in all four areas and request a search of newspapers for the time frame surrounding the stated date of death for your person. 2) Also request a check for an obituary from the area in which he was located in the 1870 census. Many small local libraries have obituary indexes or cemetery books and will do these type of searches for a small fee or sometimes for free. 3) If there is no available help at the local libraries, I would recommend you check with Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness to see they have a volunteer in the areas from which you need help. For a link to RAOGK you may use the link on my links page at the following url: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~thetiethatbindsour/links.htm Good luck with your research, Virginia Evansville IN

You might get some help from the 1882 railroad map at this site. Doesn't look as if there was a line from Mason City to Iowa Falls in those days. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl Don Woodley RAOGK Volunteer for Bremer, Butler, Floyd and Franklin counties. Researching Ayers/Ayres, Butler, Carpenter, Woodley on one side; Trindle, Cornford, Lingenfelter & Relf on the other.

I was given a Newspaper item copy Nov. 14, 1929 in regard to car-train accident of the above named people from Clarion, all killed near Bradford, Iowa. I am interested in identifying the A. Menning. I assume he must be of the NW Iowa Menning line, not the Franklin County family line. Any info appreciated.

Hi Listers, I'm looking for confirmation of (and information on) a train wreck which caused a relative's death in 1872. The relative, Albert J. STARK, was supposedly a luggage man on a Milwaukee Railroad passenger train. Notes I have from another researcher say he died on July 3, 1872, "between Mason City and IA Falls, IA (Cedar Rapids) in a railroad accident". Another note on Albert says he was "killed NW of Des Moines, IA". I'm unsure how all four of these cities relate to one another ~~ if he was killed NW of Des Moines, that could have been on the rail line that runs SW out of Mason City to Omaha, NE.... but I'm confused how Iowa Falls and Cedar Rapids would come into play here. As of the 1870 census, Albert was a 17-year-old living with his parents in Ottumwa, Wapello Co., and no occupation was listed for him. I've checked the GenDisasters site but they don't have a listing of this wreck. Can anyone shed some light on this? TIA Joey Stark in WI

I have been sitting here and wondering why did they name the town Brazil. Was it a fling of humor. Someones name... people from brazil?. Perphaps the same reason someone named towns in wi. Dallas, Maine and Arkansas. I have seen the name of the german villages duplicated everywhere FROM where they came from. A new world with part of the old. Even in africa settlements and who knows where. But i am sure they diidnot come from Brazil. What is the story? Any one know the reason.? _________________________________________________________________ Share your latest news with your friends with the Windows Live Spaces friends module. http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwsp0070000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://spaces.live.com/spacesapi.aspx?wx_action=create&wx_url=/friends.aspx&mk

The Louisa County Home was in Louisa Township and "inmates" are listed for the 1920 census. There is no Charles Wesley Courtney listed at that time, and you state he died in 1928, so he wouldn't be in the 1930 census either. If there are no remaining records for the poor farm or county home, the best place to find records in the census. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will help in your case. Could you obtain an obituary for Charles W. Courtney? Perhaps that will help?

I am the person who inquired last October about Riddles. An aunt of mine told me that her father had a helf sister named Drusilla that married a Riddle. My ggrandfather was: Jeremiah M. Grice b. 20 Dec 1852 at Wauseon, OH d. 27 Dec 1940 Kenton, OH he married in 1973 Emma E. Willeman b. 21 Apr 1853 Ridgeville Corners, OH d. 17 Nov 1929 They had 7 children, one David william Grice that was my grandfather. My aunt told me that her grandparents, Jereniah and Emma had divorced and her grandmother had remarried supposedly to a man named Schlosser or similar.Thier daughter was Drusilla and that she married a man named Riddle. No pun intended. So far I have nothing else. No dates or additional names are known. I am trying to confirm this story as told to me by my aunt that is no longer living. Any help will be much appreciated. Bob in Iowa

If you do a Google "Biography" search for Nelson Riddle you will find several sites which list his birth as: June 1, 1921 in Oradell, NJ. At least one of the sites I quickly skimmed also stated that Nelson Riddle was an only child. I found no Iowa connection.

Doing a quick white page directory search for the entire state of Iowa, produces 77 listings of Riddle, covering cities across the entire state.
