Laura, Looked for your Hune/Gottsacker/Deters today. Couldn't find a lot on the Deters boys, just the following: 1880 Mitchell County Census Deters, Frank, age 29, farmer, born in Oldenberg, both parents born there as well, living in Beloit tp. Deters, Arnold, age 26, grocer clerk, born in Oldendberg, both parents born there as well, lived in Beloit town 1880 MC Co Census Cottsacker, J., age 54, farmer, born in Prussia, both parents born there as well, Plum Creek tp Catherine, age 50, wife, born in Prussia, both parents born there as well Mary, age 20, daughter, born in Wisconsin Helena, age 19, daughter, born in WI Joseph, age 17, son, born in WI Gasper, age 15, son, born in WI Catherine, age 13, dau., born in WI Anna, age 10, dau, born in WI Thresa, age 8, dau, born in WI John E., age 3, son, born in WI 1880 MC Co Census Hune, John F., 47, farmer, born in Hanover, both parents born there as well, living in Beloit tp Mary E., 43, wife, born in Prussia, both parents born there as well Edward, 20, son, born in Iowa Richard, 18, son, born in IA Rosa, 14, dau, born in IA Frederica, 10, dau, born in IA John, 5, son, born in IA John and Mary Hune are both buried at St John's Catholic Cemetery, Beloit, KS. The part you've probably been waiting for: Catherine "Kate" (Gottsacker) Hune did indeed die from burns suffered in a gas fire from her stove. She was pregnant at the time and died on Monday, 30 September 1889 in Beloit, shortly after giving birth to a child that "did not survive her." I talked to the lady at the Catholic church and Kate is buried at St John's Catholic cemetery, but she has no stone. The records at the church did not mention the child. My guess is that it is buried with her, but that is only an educated guess. Please let me know if you want more. I have the whole obit and story here, plus a few marriages and can lay my hands on the obits of John and Mary Hune if you want them too.

Ks Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ks/Mitchell/24 Surname: HUNE, GOTTSACKER ------------------------- Looking for info on Richard Henry Hune (b.1862 in Iowa) and Kate/Catherine Gottsacker (b.1867 in WI). They married in Mitchell Co., city of Beloit Aug 1884. She reportedly had two sons and was pregnant with a third when she had a house fire in 1889 and caught her clothes on fire while pregnant with her third child. She is believed to have gone outside to put out the fire, and died, most likely of burns, smoke and cold (it was winter). They baby boy also did not survive.

He was the second born. They were married in Lincoln county, Missouri on 26 Dec 1860. It was her birthday and she was 15 years old. Levi was born 19 March 1836 in S. Danby, Tompkins county, New York. James' sister's name was Flora. I don't have the names of the other children.
Posted on: Mitchell Co. Ks Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ks/Mitchell/17 Surname: Howland ------------------------- I don't know on your line. I am trying to match up a Levi Howland who was in Mo. in 1865 where he married Maria Randell from Va. They had six children and I do not know their names, and I have not been able to find them in the census. Levi was a harness maker and his sympathy was with the southern cause during the war between the states. He was originally from South Danby, Tompkins County, NY. James is not an uncommon name in the family, but is also not an uncommon name in general.

Does anyone out there have any info on any of the cemeteries in Beloit, or the nearby cities. Also, what newspapers had the better obits or birth notices for the period 1880-1895? I have found out that there are several newspapers in Beloit from that time, and some are available via interlibrary loan, but my local library charges $5.00 per roll, eventhough the KSHS charges nothing. I would like someones input if I may, to help me zero in on what I need, without spending a fortune in doing so. Appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction on these things!!!

Hi all. I have changed my e-mail address to the one below. Please change in your address book. Ed Page My New e-mail is edlpage@surfbest.net
Laura, Yes, Cawker City is in Mitchell County. I'll check on the info you want tomorrow when I go into the museum. Lori
Dear Listers, I just got a nice little package of items I ordered from the Joint Archives of Holland in Michigan, and I thought I would share the basic info with you so that if any of this rang a bell, that someone may contact me and help me work through my brick wall that I seem to be stuck on and possibly make a connection with someone else. First, my great-great-grandfather Arnold Deters (born abt 1854 in Germany) came to Kansas from Ohio. He was listed in the 1880 censes in Beloit, and another relative a Mr. Francis Deters was listed in the Beloit township. In May of 1881 my gggrandfather married Mary Josephine Gottsacker of Beloit. They had four children, my ggrandfather Francis, Joseph, Anna and Ellen/Helen. Arnold, Mary (although it was spelled Marry) and the two daughters were listed in the census of 1885, but since no census of 1890 exists, I really am at a lost. Apparently, Arnold died around 1890, somehow at sea-this is my brick wall. Now, though several search engines, I found that the Joint Archives of Holland has a collection that includes some Deters family members from Beloit and Cawker City, KS. I do not know where Cawker City is, but I think it is still in Mitchell county, as I borrowed a census film from the Kansas State Historical Society (nice people there!), and I thought that Cawker City was on there too, but maybe not. Anyway, their collection included several pictures of Deters family, the few that I purchased copies of included some taken by a photographer Charles L.(?) Smith in Cawker City, KS. He used very fancy paper for his portraits. The first pic has written 'pa and ma' written across it on the front and has german writing on the back that is too faint to make out, except for 'pa's' name of Johannas, who went by Jan. The second pic was taken around 1900, and is of Jake Deters of Kansas, who is written as being born in 1880. The third pic is of Hattie Deters of Kansas, info on back is too faint to read. Both the second and third photos are formal portraits, in formal church clothing. Pics four and five are of Hattie Deters, born 1875, and Senie Deters born 1872. Again, both are form portraits, and both were taken by J. P. Walz of Cawker City, KS. Both were taken on very fancy paper, and their clothing was extreemly nice. Both appear to have been blonds, with Senie, possibly being a lighter blonde. Both may have had blue eyes, as they appear light, but with darker outlines. The sixth photo is of John Deters of Cawker City, KS. It is written he was born in 1873. The portrait was taken by J.P. Walz in Cawker City, KS. The seventh is of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Deters, married in 1901. Again is lists John as being born in 1873. The sixth and seventh photo of John Deters is the same John Deters, just taken at different times. The eighth pic is again of Mrs. and Mrs. John Deters, the same ones as before, but at some time later. John has thinned hair, and Mrs. has a bit rounder face. their clothes are nice, formal but a bit simplier. The nineth and last pic is a family portrait taken Jan 1, 1890. It shows John Deters (age 51 years), Senie Deters (age 18yrs), John Deters (age 17 yrs), Hattie Deters (15 years), and Jakie Deters (10 years). The copies of the photos are extreemly clear and offer much detail. If anyone out their knows of this family, or any of the Deters who settled in Kansas, please contact me. I have gathered quite a bit of info on Deters, and I cannot tie all of it to my family at this time, but it might be of some help to others, and I would be glad to do so. Also do any of you listers who actually reside in Mitchell county know if there is an index to any of the old Beloit newspapers. I know there were seveal of them over the years from back in the mid to late 1800's, and would be interested in trading someone some lookup work if they had a need for something out here in Oregon (Clackamas, Multnomah or Marion Counties). Thanks! Laura Buffington Oregon City, OR buffimladj@aol.com
