I think he died about two years ago. Thanks so much in advance.

I've "rescued" two photographs belonging to the GAETZ Family. The first is a photograph of Dora GAETZ taken at the Kassel Studio in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The photograph was probably taken in the 1890's with Dora appearing to be about 3 years old at the time. In addition to her name someone has written "Mom's Sister" on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is one of Bill GAETZ and includes no reference to studio or location. The photograph looks to have been taken about 1900 with Bill appearing to be about 4 years old at the time. In addition to his name (in the same handwriting as appears on Dora's photo) someone has written "Mom's Brother". These two photographs were discovered along with others belonging to the DUMEY and KOELZER families also from Cape Girardeau, MO. I'm hoping to locate someone from this GAETZ Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to the family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I searched other surrounding counties and found Benjamin THORNBURGH moved into Bollinger County before the Civil War but had no children named John. Wiley (age 36) and Kaay (age 30) Thornburgh had a son John born about 1866 according to the Bollinger County 1870 cenus. I then went to the Anscestry.Com website and found; William & Abigal Thornburgh had a son John L. born about 1877 according to the 1880 Mo State Census. They lived in West Point, MO, Bales Co.. I also found a Thomas & Martha Thornburgh had a son John born about 1874.They lived in Kansas City, MO according to the 1880 MO state census. Otherwise, no marriages can be found for a John L. Thornburgh or a Ermina (Danner) Thornburgh in Cape Girardeau, Perry or Bollinger County.

Mrs. Eaker will also be available at the Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society meeting at Riverside Regional Library in Jackson on the evening of April 27. This is our "off-month" meeting, which is informal, and is a chance to use the genealogical library while many of the "old pros" are present. Also, this library is maintained by the Society, which is not a governmental organization, so your assistance and support is needed.

GENEALOGICAL WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED FOR SE MO The Stoddard County Genealogical Society, in cooperation with the Keller Library, 402 W. Grant, Dexter, MO 63841 (PH 573-624-3764) will be holding a genealogical workshop on Friday, April 30th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM with Lorena Shell Eaker of Church Hill, TN as presenter. Participants in this workshop are asked to bring their ancestor charts and/or family group sheets and (copies only) of Bible records and other legal documents for a period of show and tell after the program presentation. Access to the copy machine is provided for those wanting to share. Mrs Eaker is a native of Bollinger County and a direct descendant of many of the early settlers of SE MO. She is a veteran of 57 years in genealogical research. The hobby she shared with her late husband until his death in 1990. She is the renowned author of The Shoe Cobbler's Kin, A Genealogy of The Peter Eaker, Sr. Family, Vol. I 1976, Vol. II 1985; and her most recent book "One Wise Man, A Genealogy of Frederick Wise of Lincoln County, NC and His Descendants, 2002"; all of which pertain to thousands of area families with many ancestral sketches of families with whom they intermarried.. Her book, "German Speaking People West of the Catawba River In NC 175 0-1800 (With Some Émigrés Participation In The Early Settlement of Southeast Missouri), 1994" is a emigrational History of more than 600 immigrant families to the Catawba River Area and has reached wide acclaim as a resource for tracing their children or grandchildren's migrations out of that area. Many of these proceeded to settle Southeast MO and then Northern AR. These four books provide a wealth of genealogical history for SE Missourians within their nearly 4000 pages and 176,000 names. These can be found in most area libraries She also has workshops scheduled for April 28th and May 5th at The Bollinger County Library in Marble Hill; on afternoon of April 27th at the Regional Library in Jackson; and another there on Monday, May 3rd for anyone researching the CRITES family. This particular family is in desperate need of researchers to put their heads together and iron out the many problems. Her many friends and fellow researchers are invited to join her for these sessions. She is currently "putting her house in order" by preparing her vast collection of files and finding a means to share them
