Their first born son was Dr. Charles A. Cooper who died on 2/20/1972. His mother Elvira lived to be 92 years old and died on 3/8/1973. Elvira was an adopted sister to my Cameron family (but I also believe she was a cousin). Elvira's mother was Lucy Perkins. I believe that she was Lucinda (Lyons) Perkins. When Lucy Perkins died in 1884 in Wadena, MN. her husband Charles was still alive. Their daughter Elvira was given to the family of John J. Cameron and Permelia (Lyons) Cameron to raise as their daughter. This has been a very interesting story and I would love to share family information with any living relatives.

Listers, I have a little history of MN Point and do not find any mention of Superior, MN. I believe the reference to Superior, MN may be due to the fact that the city directory for Duluth, MN was microfilmed first and the city directory for Superior, WI was microfilmed next (same year on the same film). I feel that the person who entered the information on the site did not realize that there were 2 separate directories for 2 separate cities in 2 different states and therefore listed them both from MN. Hope this clarifies! If not mail me and will be glad to work out a better explanation. Kathy N. PS. The microfilms of the directories at the Duluth Public Library are filmed this way.

Listers, Please be aware that there is no Superior, MN associated with Duluth, MN. Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota are commonly known at the Twin Ports but (to repeat myself) they are on separate sides of the Wisconsin and Minnesota border. Hope this helps! Kathy N.

I'm sure all of you know this already, but I wanted to warn you if you didn't. The Snow White story that has been passed from HAHAHA is infected with a virus in the attactment Dwarf4U. Get rid of it fast. If I have passed this on I am truely sorry. Be sure to rid it from your deleted folder too. Kim I received this wriet up and thought it was interesting. Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC) http://www.symantec.com/avcenter W95.Hybris.Plugin Discovered on: December 21, 2000 Last Updated on: January 25, 2001 at 12:28:33 PM PST W95.Hybris.plugin is a generic detection for any of the encrypted plug-ins that are downloaded by the W95.Hybris.gen worm. Category: Worm Virus Definitions: December 21, 2000 Threat Assessment: Wild: High Damage: Low Distribution: High Wild: Number of infections: 50 - 999 Number of sites: More than 10 Geographical distribution: Medium Threat containment: Moderate Removal: Moderate Technical description: After infecting a system, the W95.Hybris.gen worm attempts to connect to the newsgroup alt.comp.virus. If the worm connects successfully, it does the following: 1. Uploads its own encrypted plug-ins to this newsgroup. 2. Goes through the subject headers of the newsgroup messages, looks for other attached plug-ins, and tries to match a specific format. The subject header will specify the version number of the attached plug-in. 3. If a newer version of a plug-in is found, the worm downloads the more recent module and updates it's behavior. NOTE: There are numerous plug-ins available, and they have different characteristics. The most common one displays a large spiral that covers the Windows desktop and prevents you from using Windows. Another plug-in has similar behavior, but displays a solid black circle. The plug-ins may do one or more of the following: Generates a spiral image. Depending on system date and time (September 16 and 24, and on 59 minutes of each hour starting in 2001), the spiral image file is run. Upon execution, this plug-in initially loads OpenGL libraries that are used to display a large black and white spiral image. It also registers itself as a service, which prevents the process from being displayed in the Close Program dialog box. Infects DOS executable programs. The DOS .exe infection is a fairly simple dropping technique. The virus code is appended to the end of the file with a small 16-bit dropper routine. This routine creates a temporary file with an .exe extension in the \Temp folder, and then executes it. After that, the routine deletes the temporary executable. This infects the Wsock32.dll file with the worm. Infects PE executable programs. The PE executable has a much more complicated file infection routine. Only large PE files that have a code section long enough will be infected. The virus infection plug-in packs the original code area and overwrites it, if it will fit in the same place. This complicated antiheuristic infection technique is difficult (but not impossible) to repair. Currently SARC detects this plug-in as W95.Hybris.F. A removal tool has been created to remove this plug-in. Click here to obtain the W95.HybrisF fix tool. Infects all .zip and .rar archives on all available drives from C: to Z:. While infecting the .zip and .rar files, the worm renames .exe files in the archive to .ex$ extensions, and adds its copy of the worm to the archive with a .exe extension (this is the companion method of infection). Sends messages with encoded plug-ins to the alt.comp.virus newsgroup, and then gets new plug-ins from there. Spreads the worm to remote computers that are infected with the Backdoor.SubSeven Trojan. The plug-in detects such computers on the Web, and by using SubSeven commands, uploads a copy of the worm to the SubSeven infected computer. Encrypts worm copies with polymorphic encryption loop before sending the copy to others as an email attachment. Removal instructions: General removal instructions: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 2. Make sure that Norton AntiVirus is set to scan all files. 3. Restart the computer in Safe mode (Windows 95/98/Me). 4. Run a full system scan. If Norton AntiVirus detects W32.HybrisF, reboot into Normal mode and download and run the W95.HybrisF fix tool. This tool will repair any Windows executable files that have been infected by the W32.HybrisF.plugin. If Norton AntiVirus detects an infection other than W32.HybrisF, choose to repair any infected files. If Norton AntiVirus cannot repair the files, choose to delete them. 5. When the scan is finished, reboot into Normal Mode. Removal instructions for the black and white spiral or black circle: The spiral or circle loads from the run= line of the Win.ini file. In most cases, because the spiral will prevent you from opening programs, you need to: 1. Run LiveUpdate and run a full system scan. 2. Restart the computer in Safe mode. 3. Make sure Windows is set to show all files. 4. Remove the reference to the plug-in from the Run line of the Win.ini file. 5. Find and delete the plug-in itself. To update an scan: 1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the latest virus definitions. 2. Run a full system scan. To restart the computer in Safe mode: Windows 95: 1. Exit all programs. 2. Click Start, and then click Shut Down. The Shut Down Windows dialog box appears. 3. Click Restart, and then click OK. 4. When "Starting Windows 95..." appears on the screen, press F8. The Windows 95 Startup Menu appears. 5. Press the number that corresponds to Safe mode, and then press Enter. Windows will start in Safe mode. Windows 98: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type msconfig and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears. 3. Click Advanced on the General tab. 4. Check Enable Startup Menu, click OK, and then click OK again. 5. Exit all programs. 6. Click Start, and then click Shut Down. The Shut Down Windows dialog box appears. 7. Click Restart, and then click OK. The computer restarts. 8. When the Windows 95 Startup Menu appears, press the number that corresponds to Safe mode, and then press Enter. Windows will start in Safe mode. To set Windows to show all files: 1. Start Windows Explorer. 2. Click the View menu (Windows 95/98) or the Tools menu (Windows Me), and then click Options or Folder Options. 3. Click the View tab, and uncheck, if necessary, Hide file extensions for known file types. 4. Click Show all files and click OK. To edit the Win.ini file: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type sysedit and then click OK. 3. Click the title bar of the Win.ini file. 4. In the [windows] section, locate the Run= line, and note what follows the = sign. For example, you may see: run=C:\Windows\System\amiaamia.exe Write down the file name, for example, amiaamia.exe. 5. Place the cursor to the right of the = sign and delete the text that follows it. When finished, it should look like: run= 6. Click the File menu, and then click Exit. Click Yes when prompted to save changes. To delete the plug-in file: 1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders. 2. Make sure that Look in is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is checked. 3. In the Named box, type the file name that you wrote down in step 7. 4. Click Find Now. 5. When the file is found, select it, press Delete, and then click Yes to confirm. 6. Restart the computer in normal mode. NOTE: The file name that is referred to in step 7 is an example only. The plug-in that makes the entry in the Win.ini file creates a somewhat random file name. (It is not completely random, as multiple cases of the same file name have been reported.) The file name will usually consist of eight letters with the .exe extension. The name consists of a sequence of four letters which are then repeated. For example: Gbpkgbpk.exe Aboaaboa.exe Enpeenpe.exe Agaiagai.exe NOTE: For Windows 98 users only, if you used the Microsoft System Configuration Utility to enable the startup menu, then you can disable it at this time. Please follow these steps to do so: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type msconfig and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears. 3. Click Advanced on the General tab. 4. Uncheck Enable Startup Menu, click OK, and then click OK again. 5. Restart the computer. If Norton AntiVirus continues to detect the plug-ins: If NAV continues to detect the plug-ins after the previous removal steps have been followed, please do the following: NOTE: You must be using NAV 5.0 or later. 1. Restart the computer in Safe mode. 2. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders. 3. Make sure that Look in is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is checked. 4. In the Named box, type the following and then click Find Now: wsock32.dll Windows will find the file and display it in the lower pane of the Find dialog box. 5. Right-click the Wsock32.dll file, and then click Copy. 6. Close the Find: All Files window. 7. Right-click the Windows desktop (or the folder of your choice) and then click Paste. 8. Start Norton AntiVirus and quarantine the new copy of the wsock32.dll and submit it to SARC for analysis using Scan and Deliver. 9. When you receive the automated reply, If SARC indicates that the file is not infected, then post a message to the Symantec Online Technical Support Virus Information discussion group at the following location: http://servicenews.symantec.com/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?group=symantec.support.generic.virus.general Please include the SARC tracking number as well as an explanation of what was done to remove the plug-in.

Dean The First Minnesota was a very famous outfit which fought in every famous battle in the east in the Civil War until their enlistments were up sometime in 1864, I know nothing of Minnesotans chasing Indians in Iowa. That may have been the case, but I'm pretty sure that the First Minnesota wasn't the unit. Actually, I just checked my reference books and found it was the Tenth U.S. Infantry (Regular Army) stationed at Ft. Ripley. They made a futile attempt to find Inkpaduta, but he was long gone before they got to his camp. And before they could move against him again, the entire unit was ordered to go to Utah to take up arms against the Mormons. According to Charles Flandrau, later a squad of soldiers and civilians, otherwise unidentified, succeeded in killing one of Inkapaduta's sons. Interesting, I didn't know about that bit of history.

It seems that before he enlisted in the 1st Minnesota Volunteers at the age of 19 in 1861, he was involved in fighting or chasing Inkpaduta the Indian Chief who had massacred 30+ white settlers at Spirit Lake Iowa. This Chief was considered the terror of many. In the real story he did the things that made him feared but only at the constant cruelty of the authorities of the day against his people. So he was somewhat of an Indian Robin Hood as far as I can tell. Inkpaduta traveled throughout Minnesota and helped spawn the Sioux uprisings of 1862. Harrison must have been only 17 or 18 when he took arms against this man. I was wondering if he would have been old enough to be part of the group that was dispatched from Ft. Ripley to chase Inkpaduta or would he have had to be from a "Civilian Militia". Are their any records of the names of men who were of that party? Does anyone on these lists that I am sending this too that might have some access to the history of Inkpaduta?

To all listers---I am at a point in my family research where I would like to identify a government agency resource that I can communicate with to obtain additional information on my grandfather's history. He resided in Virginia from 1908 to 1914. Hopefully several listers may have had some experience in this area and may give me some direction. On the SSA's SS-5 Form there is a line item that asks for the applicants registration card number if the applicant has registered with the U.S. Employment Service. This number is noted on my grandfather's form. I would like to pursue in this direction if I can locate the current government agency that may have the old USES records. I contacted the SSA and they directed me to to US Dept of Labor. They responded that they do not have these records. Therefore, has anyone had any experience pursuing information from the former US Employment Service? If so, any help or direction would be appreciated. Vince in Plano, TX
