If she was Gladys Fitzsimmon, and married a Unknown Chamberlain it might be one of the two males who married her. Is this who you are looking for? A Gladys Fitzsimmons who married an Unknown Chamberlain? It may be, I don't know who Clifford or Clayton Chamberlain married. Is there anything you can tell me that might help me help you? Why were you looking in MN? Do you have proof she lived there? You may be one to something I do need more on your Aunt Gladys. Penny

What was the first name of the Chamberlain in your data? Were they in LeSuer Co? I think I did run into some Chamberlains in that county that weren't related so it could be another line. I would need to know more about the Chamberlain your Fitzsimmons married.Otherwise it is little more than a surname. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Penny

Kolden of the Kolden Funeral Directors, P. O. Box 81, Le Sueur, MN 56058, answer my questions. As I too have ancestors buried there: Smith & Young & their kin. He sent me the index of the Smith burials, plus a cemetery map that showed the burials plots purchased by my family members. It is frenquently helpful to see all family members buried on one plot. Additional names of children who died young can be found that way. Good luck with your research. MaryLu in Central Minnesota

History of the Minnesota Valley - has short one paragraph biographies, but has lots of them, published 1882 Memorial Record of Southwestern Minnesota - longer biographies on Civil War veterans, published 1897 Nicollet and LeSueur Counties (two volumes) - volume one is county histories while volume two is biographies, published 1916 I have posted transcriptions to the LeSueur county web site of all three, for what I had photocopied. I checked the indexes of the latter two but did not find any Savidge references. Someone has a CD-ROM version of the first history which they sell on eBay, which go for $15-20.

Possibly they might be in the county offices in LeCenter. I had not noticed in in the Minnesota State Historical Society research center in St. Paul, but I have not been through their microfilms thoroughly. I have only really looked at census records and death certificates. I checked some of the plat maps that I have copies of. The oldest one I have is from about 1898. I did not find any Savidges listed in the area around Savidge Lake.

The transcriptions I have done have been for people who have been part of my research, including more distantly related people. I have a lot of family buried in that cemetery, however it has been a number of years since I have been back (during good weather) to continue transcription work. At the time I did some of the previous work, I had not connected the Savidges in. It is an active cemetery. My grandparents are buried there and some of their brothers / sisters have been recently buried there. For that area, I would call it a medium-sized cemetery.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DIB.2ACE/340.3.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks, Doug. I was wondering last night what would become of land too back then. They left the farm for several years before the war, 1861, so Charles could go preach. They moved to Glencoe, McCloud Co. and were there when the 1862 indian massacre happened in August. They (and everyone else) hightailed it toward Fort Ridgely. In the winter of 1862-63 Charles the younger mentions having seen the indians hung in Mankato for the uprising. The Savidges didn't go back to the farm until 1964 when Charles the elder went off to war. They're still there in 1880. But then everyone dies/wanders off -- what happens to the farm? Are there records of buying/selling the land anywhere? I know Charles the younger and my great grandfather, the next son, William, graduated from the University of Minnesota. William then went to Ann Arbor for his law degree, came back to Minnesota to get married (have the date of the marriage but can't find any record?) then wandered to Nebraska, to the law firm his Judge, older brother Samuel had. My grandfarther and his brother were born in Nebraska, Samuel died (still don't understand about that either) and William wandered off to Idaho with his family. Charles the younger, eventually wandered to Omaha and stayed there the duration. I assume the Savidge's in Minnesota in the 1900 census are various decendants and johnny come lately but there's no one left in Cleveland, Le Sueur.
