He is a farm laborer living with his parents, Hial and Polly Cady. I remember my parents talking about him going west but do not know where he went or when, or even if he really did. He may have a middle initial "C". Thanks for any information, Janet

I'm searching for death and burial information for Perry O. BAILEY, son of Asa Bailey and Nancy Bennett. Asa moved his family from Green Co, Wisconsin in 1873-74 to Hampton, IA where he farmed. In 1889, he moved his family to Thornton, Cerro Gordo Co, IA and he was the postmaster there for a number of years. He died in 1914. Perry Bailey was born in July 1866 in WI, the 2nd of 4 children. He married Fanny (born about 1875 in IA, died before January 1920) about 1904 - they had one son, Carl who was born about 1907. On the 1920 census, Perry is a widower, living at Clear Lake with his son, mother, and sister, Clara/Cora. Perry was still living at Clear Lake when the 1930 census was taken with his 2nd wife, Elba B who was born about 1875 in IL (her parents were born in Germany), his mother, and son Carl. Both Asa, Nancy and their daughter, Cora, are buried in the cemetery at Hampton (page 285 cemetery book). Karolyn in Montana --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses]

Fred & Helen were cousins to my mothers family, but I have been unable to find the connection. I need to contact a current member of the family to hopefully find the connection, and get up to date info on them. There were 3 daughters Bonnie, Barbara & Darlene if I remember correctly, and I think they still reside in Chariton. My mother, Thelma Anderson, and her brother Roy Anderson were maid of honor, and best man for their wedding, about 1930. Oscar 1898/1952 Helen 1905/1998 I have ancestor info on Helen, but have been unable to find much on Oscar, Thanks Ray Munson 1212 E Leach Des Moines, Ia 50315-3741 515 287 5281 r.munson@mchsi.com rlmunson_50315@yahoo.com

I have to join this discussion thread. I have our "family copy" of the book, THE PRICE OF OUR HERITAGE, authored by Winfred E. Robb. My Grandfather and his brother were Iowa volunteers.....and the brother I mention here died in France, WWI. This book is one of my most prize possessions....as the inside cover says...."In Memory of the Heroic Dead of 168th Infantry." My great uncle, Albert Ewin, is pictured in the book and he is buried in France. The entire book and the photos is featured online. Hats off to the transcriber volunteers who have made this possible. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ia/military/heritage.htm The book is laid out by battle and the fallen....also gives lots of good history....from the History of the Old Third Iowa.....gives all the stops along the way before reaching Europe...then the history and the battles ...and at the end, the last chapter is Homeward Bound. Quite the journal of those times and their participation in WWI.

Below is part of chapter 32. The whole chapter can be seen on the Iowa History Site. Under Making of Iowa. ~~~~~~~~~~~ June 1, 1846, while the people of Iowa Territory were deep in the discusion of the question of Statehood, there came to them a call to arms. War with Mexico had broken out, and the President of the United States had issued a call for fifty thousand volunteers. Iowa Territory was asked to raise a regiment, and on this day Governor James Clarke presented a proclamation stating what Iowa was expected to do. The news set the citizens aflame with patriotism. In various towns mass meeting were held, at which burning speeches were made, and glowing resolutions passed supporting the Governement, and pledging help. Somes were composed. Men rushed to enlist. So far as spirit went, the days of 1846 were not different from those of 1898. Iowa, of course, was not so well populated as now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I have not come to find out what you can do for Iowa. Mr. President," replied the sturdy governor, "but I want to know what Iowa can do for you?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On his own responsibility, and at his own risk, the governor authorized the Hon. Exekiel Clark to purchase in Chicago cloth for fifteen hundred uniforms. But not a yard of cloth could be found in all that city. The demand had been so great. Promptly Samuel Merrill offered to contract for cloth in Boston, and take his pay as the State was best able to afford. Mr. Merrill's kindness came in time of much need. The women of Iowa turned to and sewed hundreds of garments and haversacks, and prepared other articles of equipment. Everywhere in the State the loyal women rallied to the cause. The cloth of the first uniforms was gray. The Government refused to recognize the color, because the Confederates were wearing it. So the gray gave place to the Union blue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Copperheads" was the name applied to the Confederate sympathizers. It referred to the deadly moccasin snake, and indicated contempt. "Copperheads" denoted their propensities by wearing suits of butternut jeans, or a badge of half a butternut, or a copper cent as a breast pin. Keokuk County, with its forks of the Skunk River, was the most rabid "Copperhead" stronghold of Iowa. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Debbie Clough Gerischer Iowa Gen Web, Assistant CC, Scott County http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ IAGENWEB: Special History Project: http://iagenweb.org/history/index.htm Gerischer Family Web Site: http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/

Hello IA Listers, I am working on one of my brick walls this week-end. I am seeking an individual who worked at the Iowa State University. I think the University is in Story County? If that is where Ames is located? I apologize if I am not using the correct IA List to post this message. I was wondering if someone has access to one of these three books? The individual is listed in each edition. I can send the details off list. I am located in Central Ontario, Canada and I do not have easy access to a Toronto Library. Then again, they may not have these American Who's Who editions. -Who's Who in America. 38th edition, 1974-1975. Wilmette, IL: Marquis Who's Who, 1974. -Who's Who in America. 39th edition, 1976-1977. Wilmette, IL: Marquis Who's Who, 1976. -Who's Who in America. 40th edition, 1978-1979. Wilmette, IL: Marquis Who's Who, 1978. Thanking you for any guidance you may be able to provide, Sincerely, Mark

Below is part of chapter. The chapter in whole will be on the Iowa History site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Making of Iowa Chapter XXXI Old John Brown While Iowa was aflame with slavery agitation, and Kansas was reddened with the blood flowing in civil war between "Border Ruffians" and "Abolitionists", or "Free State Men"; while squad after squad of emigrants hastened across the Iowa prairies to Tabor, where they lay under arms waiting a favorable opportunity to slip onto the disputed grounds; while slavery supporters were using their best efforts to secure Kansas for the South, and hints were abroad that Kansas having been made a slave State, Iowa's turn would come next, there appeared in Iowa John Brown - Osawatomie Brown, he was called. To-day he is better known by the simple title, "Old John Brown." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Brown party numbered eleven. One in it was a negro. The company was an interesting one, and quite a boon to the village. John Henrie Kagi was a journalist and a stenographer; Aaron D. Stephens - enlisted as C. Whipple - had been in the army, and had resisted an officer who was brutally beating a soldier; Richard Realf was a poet; John Edwin Cook was not only a poet, and handsome, but was a deadly shot. All the men were brave as could be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Debbie Clough Gerischer Iowa Gen Web, Assistant CC, Scott County http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ IAGENWEB: Special History Project: http://iagenweb.org/history/index.htm Gerischer Family Web Site: http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/

Part of the chapter. All can be seen on the Iowa History Site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Making of Iowa Chapter XXX Iowa and Slavery Iowa always has been a "free state". Salvery never had a foothold here. But during many years preceding the Civil War the slavery question was a burning issue in Iowa politics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But although Iowa was a "free state", there have been slaves within her limits. Before she was a Territory, and while she was attached to Michigan and to Wisconsin, some of the whites among her earliest citizens possessed blacks whom they had brought into the new country. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Debbie Clough Gerischer Iowa Gen Web, Assistant CC, Scott County http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ IAGENWEB: Special History Project: http://iagenweb.org/history/index.htm Gerischer Family Web Site: http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/
