Hi List, Now I know that my ancestor died in Clark, Tama Co., Iowa I am hoping someone from the list might be able to check the Clark vitals for her record. I'm hoping this will mention her husband, parents and possibly where in Vermont she was born. Details are; Clarissa E. Sinclair Robinson died April 10, 1881 aged 74 years in Clark Township, Tama Co. In anticipation of your kind assistance Thank you! Janice New Zealand

I am searcing for descendants of William P Jones born abt 1869 in Johnson Co. Missouri. He and his parents and siblings moved to Iowa eventually ending up in Monroe County after 1880. William P. Jones married S. Cordelia maiden name unknown and her name is possibly, actually Sarah C.. They married in 1895 in Iowa. Residing for a number of years in Monroe County, Lovilla Iowa they had the following children: Alta M. 1896 Maurice F or Morris F. 1898 Audrey N 1900 Minous K (son) 1907 Russell 1912 Paul 1915 Robert 1919 William was a coal miner for many years. In 1930 the family is living in Ames, Story County Iowa and occupation is listed as Supervisor in a Lunchroom and his wife is an assistant in the Lunch Room. Russell, Robert and Paul are still living at home at this time. William is the son of my Gr Gr. Uncle Pierce/Pearce Jones and Elizabeth Enix. Any information and direction will be greatly appreciated Nancy M. Boyd

There is an article in the Civil War Time of May 1981 entitled: "the Golden Age Regiment -IOWA'S GRAYBEARDS" by George R. Skoch. If you had an ancestor in this regiment you might want to try to find the magazine. Civil War Times might have copies? There is a photo of Colonel George Washington Kincaid, "teetotaling" commander of the Iowa Graybeards. My great great grandfather, Gideon Bullis is mentioned "who died very sudden of brain fever." "The harsh duty on Rock Island was the low point in the regiment's history. After an inspection of the island in March 1864, Surgeon August Clark, acting inspector of prisons, delivered a scathing denunciation of the Graybeards. he called them "...a regiment of decrepit old men and the most unpromising subjects for soldiers I ever saw." There are two photos of the prison and a drawing of the Graybeards as they paraded through the streets of St. Louis, January 1, 1863. I had this magazine stored away and finally found it. I believe you can find the Civil War Times Illustrated online. I remember looking them up several years ago. Coral Barker Allbee Yucca Valley, CA

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME III 1804-1926 C. G. ANDERSON Of sturdy Scandinavian stock, Carl G. Anderson has inherited the substantial qualities of a long line of worthy ancestors, and his ability is indicated by the fact that when but twenty-four years of age he was chosen postmaster of Arthur, in which capacity he has since served. He was born April 7, 1898, in the city of Chicago, and is a son of A. G. and Sophia (Johnson) Anderson, natives of Sweden. They made the voyage to the United States in 1882 and lived for several years in Chicago. In 1910 they came to Iowa and the father devoted his energies to the occupation of farming, bringing his land to a high state of productivity. Subsequently he opened a meat market in Arthur and has since made his home in this locality, in which he has many loyal friends. Carl G. Anderson is the youngest in a family of three children. He attended the public schools of Chicago and finished his education in Arthur. He obtained his start in life by clerking in a hardware store and also acquired a practical knowledge of the meat business. Through the exercise of the qualities of industry, thrift and self-denial he accumulated sufficient capital to enable him to embark in business on his own account and is now the owner of his father's market. He carries only the best grades of meat, and straightforward, honorable dealing has brought him a large share of public patronage. In 1921 Mr. Anderson was united in marriage to Miss Lurene Wagner, whose parents are living at Storm Lake, Iowa. Mr. Anderson is a stanch supporter of the principles of the republican party and in August, 1922, received from the late President Harding the appointment of postmaster of Holstein. He has since been retained in the office and his work is performed with speed, accuracy and system. Along fraternal lines he is connected with the Masonic order, belonging to Arthur Lodge, No. 611, F. and A. M., and endeavors to fulfill in his life the beneficent teaching of the craft. He has made his own way in the world and merits and receives the respect of his fellowmen.

Hi list, I would really appreciate some help with a look-up for the death of Clarissa E. Sinclair Robinson who I believed died 10 April 1881 perhaps in Clark, Tama County. Clarissa is the wife of William Nye Robinson, one of her daughters, Clarissa (Clara) married Madison Monroe Turner and they were living in Clark in 1880 - Clarissa E. is listed as living with them in that census. Any assistance would be really appreciated Thank you Janice New Zealand

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME III 1804-1926 G. L. AITCHISON One of the successful business men and influential citizens of Arnolds Park, Dickinson county, is George Lewis Aitchison, president of the Aitchison Lumber Company and mayor of the town. He is a man of great energy and progressive methods, has been an earnest supporter of everything calculated to advance the community, and is eminently deserving of the respect which is accorded him throughout his locality. Mr. Aitchison was born in Hancock county, Iowa, on the 2d of December, 1869, and is a son of John and Sarah (Windell) Aitchison, the former a native of Scotland and the latter of Indiana. The father came to the United States at the age of eighteen years, stopping in Indiana, where he spent some years. About 1860 he came to Iowa, settling in Winneshiek county, where he bought a farm, devoting his time to its improvement and cultivation. In 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil war, he enlisted and served until disabled in 1863, when he was discharged and returned home. In 1869 he moved to Hancock county, this state, where he bought a quarter section of land, on which he established his permanent home, living there until his death, in 1877. His widow survived him thirty years, passing away in 1907. George L. Aitchison attended the district schools and the Forest City public schools, and then took a course of normal training at Decorah Institute. He next engaged in teaching school for five years, and during the last two years of that period and three years following he was also engaged in farming. He then located at Miller and for eight years was engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1905 he came to Arnolds Park and served three years as manager of the W. W. Johnson Lumber Company, followed by twelve years as manager of the Brandon Lumber Company. In the fall of 1919 he established and incorporated the Aitchison Lumber Company, of which he became president, and during the subsequent years has enjoyed a very satisfactory measure of prosperity. In 1891 Mr. Aitchison was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca Windell, of Winneshiek county, Iowa, and they became the parents of six children, of whom three are living: Lisle F., who is manager of the Aitchison Lumber Company, of Albert Lea, Minnesota, a branch of the Arnolds Park Company; Mary Lucile, who is a bookkeeper in the Security National Bank, of Milfords, Iowa; and Clifford Lewis, who is a student in the Arnolds Park high school. Mr. Aitchison is a member of Gloaming Lodge, No. 482, A. F. and A. M., of which he is a past master; Spirit Lake Chapter, No. 132, R. A. M.; and he and his wife and daughter are members of Gloaming Chapter No. 225, Order of the Eastern Star, and the daughter is a member of Calvary Shrine, No. 18, Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem, at Spirit Lake. Mr. Aitchison has taken an active part in local public affairs, serving as mayor of Arnolds Park in 1914-15-16, and was again elected to that office in 1924 and is still serving. He has given an efficient and satisfactory administration and has gained the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens, who appreciate his services in behalf of the community welfare.

Thanks for your question. I have been asked what I am looking for so I will try to further elaborate. Questions: What happened to Tena Glorfeld (b: about 1864 in IA) between 1870 and 1880? What happeded to Catherine-Katrina-Lena-Rena (Glorfeld) Kuhl (b. abt. 1867) after 1900? What happened to her son Lewis Arnold Kuhl (10 Oct. 1900-29 May 1966) after 1900? What happened to Heinrich "Henry" William Kuhl after 1900? 1. Information: 1885 Census-Lena (Catherine or Katrena.) Glorfeld 17 (b. abt. 1868 IA) Married 06 Dec. 1885 in Tama Co., IA Child Lewis Arnold Kuhl was b. 10 Oct. 1900/d. 29 May 1966 Husband Heinrich "Henry" William Kuhl Divorced A long time family resercher has the above information written in her notes but did not document her source! We can find nothing more on Catherine, Katrina, Lena, or Rena Glorfeld or Kuhl, also nothing on the child Lewis or Arnold Kuhl or Glorfeld, also nothing on Henry or William Kuhl. 2. Census Data: I looked at the images to make sure they had been transcribed accurately. -1860 Head Charles Glarfield 53 b: 1859 Prussia-Winfield, Scott Co., IA Wife Lena Glarfield 28 b: 1830 Holstein Daughter Anna Glarfield 05 b: 1853 Iowa Son Wm Glarfield 03 b: 1855 Iowa Daughter Lena Glarfield 01m b: 1860 Iowa -1870 Head Carl Glorfield Oneida 43 b: 1825 Prussia Farmer-Oneida, Tama Co., IA Wife Lena Glorfield 32 b: 1836 Holstein Daughter Anna Glorfield 13 b: 1855 IA =she married Rudolph Reimer on 04 Sep. 1876 Son William Glorfield 11 b: 1857 IA Daughter Lena Glorfield 09 b: 1860 IA -she married Claus Paustain on 02 Mar. 1875 Daughter Louisa Glorfield 07 b: 1862 IA Son Henry Glorfield 06 b: 1863 IA Daughter Tena Glorfield 05 b: 1864 IA Daughter Theresa Glorfield 02m b: 1870 IA -1880 Head Carl Gerfeld (sic) 53 b: 1826 Prussia Farmer-Oneida, Tama Co., IA Wife Lena Gerfeld 43 b: 1836 Holstein Son Wm.

That was a good idea! Our co-researcher had Lewis Arnold Kuhl in her notes. However I found nothing under Lewis or Arnold Glorfeld or Kuhl born about 1900 in the SSDI! It occured to me that Catherine-Katrina "Lena-Rena" might have reverted to her maiden surname, and even changed her son's surname, so I have searched the names under both Kuhl and Glorfeld (even soundex). I think we three have reached the "fried brain stage"! That is the reason I put it out on the list just in case someone had already been over this material, etc.! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald Athey" <rondo_94590@earthlink.net> To: "SpiritHawk/Martha" <mdbb@adelphia.net> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 7:06 PM Subject: Re: [IOWA] Glorfeld-Kuhl

Check out this new scam, using the ever-popular Google. Genealogists should be careful what they search for. Phishers lie in wait for Google searchers Published: December 1, 2004, 5:17 PM PST By Munir Kotadia Special to CNET News.com Phishers are setting up fraudulent e-commerce Web sites and simply waiting for victims using Google and other search engines to find them, a security company has warned. Traditionally, phishing scammers have lured their victims to fraudulent Web sites by sending official-looking e-mails that are ostensibly from well-known companies asking users to 'verify' their user names and passwords. Now many are setting up legitimate looking e-commerce sites that disguise links to malicious software as pictures of goods on sale, CyberGuard said Wednesday. Paul Henry, a senior vice president at CyberGuard, said that when Web shoppers search the Internet looking for products they want to buy, they could be directed to a plausible e-commerce site that instructs them to "Click here to download images" of the product. Related feature Have you been phished? Check here to see whether an e-mail that appears to be from your bank or an online merchant is actually an attempt to defraud you.Henry said that instead of linking to pictures of the advertised product, the links point to a self-extracting ZIP file that installs a Trojan horse on the victim's computer. The program could then steal personal and financial information. "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Don't let the Grinch steal your Christmas," Henry said. The warning comes a week after the Anti Phishing Work Group, or the APWG, said it suspected that a phishing tool kit, which could help create and automate phishing attacks, was being distributed on the Internet. In early November, e-mail security company Messagelabs warned of a new phishing method that did not require the user to open an e-mail attachment or click a link. Messagelabs said it had discovered some malicious e-mails that, when viewed, could run a script that manipulated certain files on the victim's computer. The next time that computer attempted to log on to a legitimate banking site it would automatically be redirected to a fraudulent Web site.
