Hello All... I am new here to the Mailing List. I would like to get lookups, exchange records, and make connections. Personally, I have errected a Family Records and Archives Web Site in behalf of this mailing list and those in it with regards to my very large family Genealogy of the geographical area here pertaining to the WHITE and McNEESE families, which obviously has something to do with this thread. It includes records on Surnames, Genealogies, Histories, Ancestries, births, marriages, deaths, immigration, wills, military, divorces, children, etc. I hope to go into more specifics with you in the near future about it. It is a contribution to the areas, Counties, Countries, Names, and Histories to many locations. Try it out and take a look at it. If you find anything worthwhile then let me know and if you can contribute further to it then let me know. Someone in your family might be listed here. Try doing a look up for further information on connections. There are over 8000 individuals listed and over 1900 Surnames listed. (Too many to list them all here in this mailing list so take a look to see if your family is listed here) I wish that I could list all the information here at one time that pertains to this thread but it is so vastly large that I can only contribute parts at a time. So, in the meantime, I am sending the Web Site in whole as it is very huge. So please view it at this time while you can and Bookmark it if you will. http://members.spree.com/sip/palisades/history.htm Constance

Hello. I am looking for information about James Henry Hoaglund and Sarah Hoyt. I thought they were both born in Cloud County, perhaps in Clyde, but people have e-mailed that could not be correct given their birth dates. Someone suggested I try Mitchell County. He was born about 1842 and she was born about 1846. I do not know their parents nor do I know where they died. I do know they had a child born 9 Sep 1868 supposedly in Cloud County named Ursulla Camella Hoaglund. Any information about these people would be deeply appreciated. Stephanie Colorado

I am searching for information on the second family of William Presler. He was b. 9-9-1817 in Pennsylvania and died in 5-14-1910 in Glen Elder, Kansas. His second wife was Mary L. Gates whom he married in 1884 according to his obit. By Mary his children were Ohio b. 2-1885, Emma b. 3-1887, and Jacob b. 5-1890. I would love to find obits on Mary and children, Mary (b.10-1862) was quite a bit younger than William so she may have remarried. Also is there anything written about him in the local history books? His obit seemed to suggest that he was a prominent citizen. Any descendants out there???? Any help would be appreciated greatly. I have lots of information on William and his Ohio family and before, I'd be glad to share any I have. Thanks, Karen Fry

Early in the afternoon tramps and hobos, many with their families---some walking, some driving dilapidated cars and buggies, were seen coming toward the school. All formed in a parade east of the school building preparatory to marching to town. After parading through the streets the crowd of tramps arrived at the Grand Theatre to view a wild western picture. Prizes were given for the best costumes. Mary Jordan, dressed abundantly as an old-fashioned lady, received first prize from the girl contestants. Ronald Fleck, dressed as a girl and having acted like a boy does when he dresses as a girl, won first place in the boys' contest. Ben Leonard's family composed of Margaret Annan, Mary Kreamer, Doris Dockstader, Louise Bardrick, Margaret Freeman, Tweed Ross and Isaac Caughey, was given first place in the family group. After seeing the picture the groups separated and many picnics were organized to celebrate and enjoy life in holiday style. Because of the demand, the student council decided to have a "hobo-day," so the Second Annual Hobo-day was planned for closing the holiday. The Class Prophecy School was out and little Bud Culp tripped lightly down the street, his heart was light and his mind was free from school and all its trouble. Never again was his mind to be burdened with such things as school for he has his hard earned diploma under his arm and at last he was free. To celebrate the grand occasion he decided to take a little tramp into the woods, for he was in his usual high spirits and was just as energetic as ever. He walked briskly along and got several miles away from town before he realized he was slightly fatigued. So he found a nice grassy spot beside a babbling brook and unwound himself beside this pretty little brook and settled down for a little nap. The day was quite warm and the walk had tired him more than such things usually did, so he soon was fast asleep. How long he slept he knew not, but when he awakened he could hardly believe his eyes. The pretty babbling brook was gone and in its place a mighty river was rushing by. This startled Bud and he began to look around further. He looked for his prized diploma and it was nowhere in sight. He was horrified when he glanced down at his own clothes, and found in place of his beautiful new suit a tattered and ragged and dirty affair. He blinked sleepily and looked around, stroking his chin as he did so and to his surprise he had a full grown beard upon his face. Well, all this was too much for poor Bud and he started to run, but his joints were so ***** and sore that he stopped immediately. However, he finally succeeded in finding the road and started in the direction of Beloit. After walking for several hours he came to a little village which he thought surely must be Asherville but on inquiry he learned that it was his old home town of Beloit. He asked the time of day of some one and also found out that it was June 1, 1940 and then he realized that he had had a little longer nap lthan he had intended to take. Nevertheless, this did not seem to worry him, but he was interested in finding out what had become of his old classmates who had suffered with him for four years. One of the first persons he met was John McMann and he was overjoyed to see him. They celebrated at McMann's Care (formerly Quinn's) and John told him about all the scandal and gossip of his schoomates, and this is what he heard. Joe Morris, despondent over Bud's disappearance, left immediately and last heard from he was directing a stock company in the South Sea Islands. Jim Dean, the efficient class president of '27, is now official announcer over IMIT. His lectures are greatly enjoyed by the whole world and his last on "Woman's Place in the Home" has received much praise from everyone. Dorothy Butler has gone to the Holy Land to look up her family tree, but she has been disappointed for there are no jungles there. Nelda Auldridge decided to become a scientist and recently discovered why Physics is a bore to high school students. Frances Broadbent is the most highly patronized of all New York milliners. She has a rushing business and would be at a terrible loss if it were not for Orpha McDaniels' efficient help and creative ability. Roy Cameron operates a soup factory in Chile, and serves beans with every bowl. Lawrence Carlton is pastor of the Beloit Methodist Church and has a full house every Sunday. His pews are furnished with sofa pillows and mattresses. Milton Quinn is touring U, S. and Canada in his Ford. So far he has reached Manhattan. Rex Troutman has organized a new club in Beloit and has appointed himself president. The name of the club (which is a secret organization) is "Rejected Suitors." Wilmer Colby has gone to China as a missionary and writes back that all the heathen women in his territory have been converted. Lawrence Gilbert was elected tyo the United States Senate and is well known for his filibustering. He always has talked and said nothing. Edwin jordan has leased the Grand Theatre and is now showing educational pictures that are well worth seing. "The Temptation of Adam" by Kenneth Wehl is now running. Dorothy and Elizabeth Childers have taken up tow dancing and their duet act is simply a knockout. Neita Henderson, after tiring of the bright lights of Broadway, has come back home is now contentedly washing dishes at McCann's Café. She is contented because Harry Mead is now the efficient head waiter there. Rollo Roquet and Dale Kerr are big oil magnates in the West now. Their specialty is "A Revised Castor Oil" for all ages and stages. Vera Creitz and Paul Hohnson had a beautiful wedding a month ago and are now spending their homeymoon in Venice, Italy. Frank Creitz was recently arrested for selling poisoned ***** and is now serving time because he was unable to pay his fine. Kathryn Boddye has a very neat little shop in Macyville, where she sells butter and eggs and other ice creams. Isabel Barker has started a home for deaf and dumb cats which she takes a great interest in. Louise Jones and Ruth Jordan have charge of the bread line4 in New York City and say business is fine and very rushing at times. Ronald Fleck recently won the World's Championship in track. He actually completed the mile run in two hours. Edwin Shurtz is manager of Coron's Ladies Ready To Wear and has just received a new shipment from the latest Scottsville styles. His tore is always crowded. Agnes Statz lost all faith in mankind and went to Russia where she is trying to revive it. Mildred Yeager is the famous tight rope walker for the Tice and Treaster Circus. Arthur Tice is president of the company and Wallace Treaster is animal trainer. ((((( Larry W.

Such was the case of Beloit's Football Season. The games with Jewell City and Delphos were indeed disappointing >From the standpoint of scores but the new and green team showed marked improvement after each game. Not until the Osborne game did the boys find themselves and we won 24-0. The next week we met the strong Glen Elder team, undefeated for two years. It was a hard fought game. The Glen Elder boys showed wonderful team play. Beloit deserved to win, with more yardage and a tighter defense. Charles Brooks broke into the limelight with a 50 yard run through a broken field for a touchdown. Shurtz kicked a drop kick for a mere 45 yards to beat them 10-0. Then came another ***** We journeyed down to Minneapolis and found that our trick plays proved to be the best play they had and Minneapolis won. The bitterest of all---was to lose to our old rival, Concordia. With Shurtz and Gotschall both on the hospital list and facing the best team Concordia ever had, things looked very dark. But even with these odds against them Beloit displayed a fighting spirit that will "Never say die." With a few minutes to play and Beloit leading 7-6, Concordia completed a pass to win 12-7. We defeated Belleville 30-0 in a game that was more one-sided than the score indicates. Beloit gaining 325 yards to their 90 yards. The tie game with Smith Center was indeed one of the outstanding features of the season. Smith Center, considered to be one of the best teams we met, was expected to beat us 30 points, but with our defense at its best, Smith Center failed to score. Smith Center was saved from defeat in the second half when the referee recalled a pass that had gone for a touchdown because some of the crowd had pushed out on the field. Lincoln was next. They had a big team with a good full back. In the second half they couldn't stand the "gaff" any longer and Beloit smashed over a touchdown. In this game Colby completed six consecutive passes. On Thanksgiving Day Clay Center beat us 9-0. With their team averaging 176 they could not push over a touchdown, so had to resort to place kicking and they kicked three goals for nine points. Most of them were Sophomores and Juniors and of the seventeen men who earned their letters ten will be back, so the prospects of a winning team next year are three times greater than this years. Shurtz, captain and quarter, bore the brunt of the offense. He is a half back but of necessity shifted to quarter. With the exception of Colby and Shurtz the entire team will be back.

Efficiency Meet For the first time Beloit High School was represented at the Physical Efficiency meet at the Kansas State Teachers College at Hays, March 26, 1927. Competing with sixteen other teams placed 5th, which was an excellent showing at the first attempt. The purpose of the Efficiency Meet is to encourage the promotion of healthful and recreational physical exercise among all high school girls. This meet was arranged last year to take the place of a girls' basket ball tournament which has formerly been held at Hays every year. Miss Mary Chittenden, physical instructor in B. H. S., directed the team of six girls in preparation for the meet and much credit is due her. The team was Wanda Lee Stack, Margaret Morris, Kathryn Stewart, Margaret Wilson, Alma Gotschall and Helen Louise Smith. The events in which the girls took part were spirometer test, basket ball race, stunts, folk dances and co-ordination tests. It is hoped that B. H. S. can continue to be represented in all the future meets of this kind. Track Because the year book goes to press before any of the inter-scholastic track meets, we have only the results of the class track meet on which to base our predictions of a successful track season. The class track meet was held April 6 and was won by the Seniors. The Juniors, Freshmen and Swophomores ranked second, third and fourth respectively. Lyle Briney, a Junior, Scoring 19 points, was high point man. The prospects for a successful season are unusually good. Brooks and Briney are working good. Briney's running broad jump of 20 feet 4 inches in the class track meet shows that he will be hard to beat in that event. Creitz, captain, is showing up well in both the half-mile and mile, while Colby in the high jump, 100 and 220 yard dashes is displaying much ability. The point winners in the hurdles, discus and shot-put are Ellis Creitz and Kenneth Wehl. Two Freshmen, Conley and G. Pagett, show much promise. Conley took first place in the 50 and 100 yard dash, while Pagett took first in the pole vault. These two men will develop into track men of great ability. The track meets attended are: Alton---April 15 Concordia---April 22 Lincoln---April 29 Great Bend Relays State Track meet at Emporia ORGANIZATIONS Hi-Y Since the organization of Hi-Y in B. H. S. the influence set forth by its high standards has been felt more each year by the student body. The club sponsors a variety of programs and activities, such as talks by business men, special programs of music and readings; exhibitions by gym classes in stunts, boxing, wrestling matches and mat work. The club sent five delegates to the State Hi-Y Convention at Manhattan. The delegates were Billy Springer, Ellis Creitz, Robert Fulton, Lawrence Carlton and Kenneth Creitz. \the following boys attended the Round-up at Downs: Edwin Shurtz, Billy Springer and Clinton Rector. At this meeting B. B. Edworthy, State Hi-Y secretary, was chairman. There were sixty-five members of Hi-Y this year, which showed that much interest was taken by the boys. The officers for this year were: President………………..Kenneth Creitz Vice-president…………..Wallace McKinnie Secretary………………..Billy Springer Treasurer………………..Edwin Shurtz Girls' Reserve Louise Cooke, Margaret Morris, Neita Henderson Charlotte Bartleson, Marie Smith, Maxine Shaffer, Bernese Smith, Emma Jeanne Cole, Lila McGaughey, Mary Kreamer, Winifred Ober, Dorothy Butler, Venda Clark ((((( Larry W.
