Could you please tell me if you can find some needed information about this person named below?

He is reported to be worth >>>more than $1,000,000, most of which is in his >>>plantation in Oklahoma, just across the Arkansas >>>river opposite Fort Smith. He also has a large >>>holdings in Arkansas. He is said to be one of the most progressive and scientific farmers in Oklahoma and has been given the title of "potato king" because of having the largest acreage and shipping of potatoes in Oklahoma.

His plantation, which will almost be in the city of Fort Smith when the new free bridge is completed, has more than 1,000 acres in cultivation, and has more than 100 tenant farmers. Only recently he gave Fort Smith an airplane landing station, giving up a big slice of his alfalfa fields for this purpose. He also gave the city a baseball field just inside the Oklahoma line. He is a bachelor and about 45 years of age. -------------------------------------- Pat TABER KOGER [email protected] Most wanted MOM: Billie Josephine LEWIS (Mrs Henry TABER) born Newport,Jackson,Ark 1912, married in Faulkner Co Parents from Ky, as per the 1930 census, No other names known.

They lived in both Delaware and Washington DC. So far, all Herdman's that I have found in Delaware from 1830-1920 have been related. The above named people's marriage records will undoubtedly be in DC where they lived from mid 1870s through 1920s. Joy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Hello MaryAnn: My e-mail address is [email protected] Thanks for collecting the information from Sts. Peter and Paul and the obituary info. Send it along and I will put it up on a server so that everyone can get it from a link. I wondered what happened to you! Diane To the list: I have a copy of the book "Search for Missing Friends" volume one which covers the years 1831 to 1850. This book is a compilation of advertisements that were placed under the title "Search for Missing Friends" in the Boston Pilot during the years 1831 to 1850. The Boston Pilot became a clearinghouse for the Irish when they got separated during their voyage to the US from Ireland. In many cases, people who were in the US would lose touch with their Irish family and would advertise looking for them. I found the location of my GGGrandfather John Heeney who came to the US and settled in Louisville until 1860 at which time the Know Nothing riots in Louisville forced him and his family to move to St. Louis. He advertised to find his family in 1880. I found his ad in a volume that is in the entire set which is available in book form in the St. Louis Public Library and in CD form at the St. Louis County Library. His ad read thusly: "Of Mathew and Mary Heeney, natives of Navan (Co. Meath); when last heard from, about 4 years ago, Mathew was in or about the coal mines, near Rock Island, Illinois and Mary in Albany, NY in 1848. Any information will be thankfully received by their brother, John, care of Mathew Cadden, St. Louis Mo" The ad was placed in 1880. I can't do a lookup for every Irish name in St. Louis during those years, but I strongly encourage anyone who is researching Irish to research this resource. Probably this winter I will transcribe the St. Louis surnames mentioned in this one volume. Diane Shaw Hillsboro, MO

Mary Ann, Personally, I am happy for you having the kids move up and out. Now you'll have more time to scratch your itches until the grandkids come along. Everyone is losing close ones. Maybe not a dozen like you, but we all mourn just as much. The "Greatest Generation" and even the early Boomers were supposed to live forever. Why do they keeping dying on us? Funerals have replaced graduations and weddings, and they are not nearly as much fun.

I went to two of the churches yesterday, St. Aloysius and Holy Innocents, as they each had their last mass yesterday. It was very sad. A couple of months ago I listed the names on the windows at St. Aloysius. Yesterday we opened the door of the confessional and there were three windows there that I missed on my first round. The names were Wm. & E. Guelker and there was another Guelker window and a window with the name Hanneke on it. I did not have a pen and forget the initials attached to the Hanneke. I know the Guelkers very well and I apologize for missing them the first time. There were no names on the windows at Holy Innocents church but the church itself is fairly new. I think they said it was built in 1958 so is not the original church. Barb

HI Diane, Well, I'm in touch 1x/year with Gary Bailey, who is descended from Harwood, who married one of my Cases, from the Western Mid-Michigan area - Grand Haven, South Haven, Ludington, Muskegon...

Greetings, Listers! In case you heard about the explosions in the St. Louis City area today, there is a story about it online at: www.stltoday.com Lots of excitement here today. Shut down Highway 40 and they evacuated 5 square blocks of the city due to the possible danger of chlorine gas and gas canisters flying through the air. They delayed the ballgame by 30 minutes but the Cards are winning 8 to 1. Gloria

I have a few pictures of Fuller on my website at My Family .com If it would help I can invite you to the site and you can see if any match with yours.

The genealogical data I have indicates that the children in question were born around 1880-1892, and these seem to bear that fact out. I have been to Dave Lossos' website and attempted to date them, but there are a lot of them that contain the name of GROSS only as a photographer. The site said that Cramer & Gross did business in the 1901 period, but these photos appear to be the same people over a longer stretch of time, all from Gross, Hammer, Setzer & Brothers, and Wilson.

Hi...............you might want to try a "google" search. Several things came up on that site. Mary

I am doing some research for a friend who has recently purchased the Carter-Thoroughman house in Ferguson. It sits on the corner of Thoroughman Lane and North Florissant Roads. In my research, I have found that William and Grace Thoroughman Carter weren't the residents in the house in 1900. Grace's father, Thomas Thoroughman, a prominent Saint Louis attorney, built the home for them when they married in 1893. Thomas Thoroughman died in 1897. I am not sure whether that fact had anything to do with them not living in the house. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? I have census pages showing where they are living up to the 1930 census, and other pages to show who actually lived in the house. Wendy

I'd like some ideas on how best to restore and preserve it. Is there any type of tape that might be suitable for this kind of stuff perhaps? =========== George, I suggest that you not use tape at all. Get some acid-free special paper or better yet, get someone who knows how to do this to mount this document on an acid-free paper stock. I think it will depend a great deal on what type of document you have. Making a photocopy of it and storing it in an acid-free sleeve might be enough. If it is a marriage license or some other equally important document, investing in getting it restored might be worth the cost. I had a marriage license from 1886 that had been folded into 12 pieces restored last year for about 60 dollars. It is a big document too. Gloria

I don't know about any tape, but I know that if you use a piece of yellow milar and lay it over the old copy it will make it more readible. You may have to copy it and preserve it in a sleeve that is acid free like scrapbooking quality. Shirl Hite Sieli Born and raised in STL Live in Littleton, CO
