Many of us who do family research in Iowa and the Midwest had ancestors who followed the occupation of farming. I found this in an old newspaper that I was transcribing for the new IA GenWeb Special Project, Iowa Old Press. Check out this url for many other wonderful articles from many of the 99 Iowa counties. Submit your old articles (any news articles or pages up to and including 1930 are permitted) and help us BUILD on this great project. http://iowaoldpress.com/ From the LeMars Sentinel newspaper (Plymouth County, Iowa) Dated 24 Dec 1894 LE MARS GENERAL MARKETS LeMars, Dec. 24, 1894 Wheat, 50c Oats, 24c Corn, 40 @ 43c Rye, 40 Fat Steers, 2.50 @ $4.00 Hogs, 3.50 @ $4.00 Eggs Fresh, 16 Butter, 14 Bran and Shorts, per ton, $13.00 @ 14.00 Corn Meal, per ton, $18.00 Chopped Feed, per ton, $18.00 Potatoes, per bus. 65c Onions, per bus. 70c Beans, per bus. $1.75 Hay, $8.00 Perhaps some of you on this IOWA list can interpret the figures and dollar amounts. When it says per bushel.or per ton that is easy enough to understand. Wonder if our ancestors truly made any money at this farming endeavor? The times were hard, and they did try! There are wonderful articles on the Iowa Old Press site...use the SEARCH engine and enjoy!! "A Look Back at the Lives & Times of Our Ancestors."

>> http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/gen/wi/_vitals/wide59_t.htm I got there just fine using this link and bookmarked it. The page looks odd, but at the bottom is a place to put in a surname and that takes you to a name and a link to the the microfiche with the information. I just wish I had more WI surnames to check on. Thanks for a good resource. Sue

For the listers who are having trouble with the vital search site - try this - their main page is here http://www.vitalsearch-worldwide.com/ Vital search is not a free site, however, they do have some data accessible there for free, and I'm guessing these Wisconsin deaths are some of the free ones. They are apparently funded by advertiser links, making using their free sites a rather unpleasant experience. That being said, the data is there, and it is free, so if you have the patience to keep deleting the ad windows that crop up, you might be able to find some ancestors. I haven't used this site in a long time but the last time I did, I had to register and get a password to even view the free databases.

Can you tell me how would you find the Wisconsin deaths for 1900? I tried to find the home page for the link below but it came up with California... perhaps you can help.

I think they started keeping them in the 1880's. Personally I write to the Recorder in the county where the death occurred. You need to fill out a special form and send it, along with $10 to either the County Recorder or the State Dept of Health. Jim
