Date: 8/6/01 5:52:49 PM Central Daylight Time From:    [email protected] (Darrell & Nancy Giles) Reply-to: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> To:    [email protected] While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario, California, I came across this obituary which might be of some interest to someone on this list. This does not relate to any surname that I am researching personally. Nancy     Robert H. Hostettler of Long Beach, retired farmer and brother of Arnold H. Hostettler, 655 El Morado court, died last evening at a Los Angeles hospital, following an illness of nearly two years' duration at the age of 74 years.     A native of Pekin, Ill., Mr. Hostettler came to California from Nebraska 13 years ago. In his youth he was a member of the Mennonite church but later affiliated with the Presbyterian denomination at Aurora, Neb.     Surviving besides the Ontario brother are two daughters, Mrs. Ralph Gelvin, Stewart, Neb., and Mrs. Fred Runge, Sydney, Neb.; a son, Royal, Denver, Colo.; two sisters, Mrs. S. E. Nafziger, Bloomington, Ill., and Mrs. Harry Moses, Guernsey, Wyo.; a second brother, Otto, North Platte, Neb., and six grandchildren. He had many friends in the West End, where he had been a frequent visitor.     Funeral arrangements in charge of the Stone mortuary are delayed to await arrival of the son and daughter.     The Daily Report, Ontario, California   June 27, 1945     Funeral services for Robert H. Hostettler, 74, Long Beach, brother of Arnold H. Hostettler, 655 El Morado court, who died Tuesday, will be conducted Saturday, 10:30 a.m., at the Stone mortuary, 329 East Ninth street, Upland.     The Rev. Earl Salzman of the Upland Mennonite church will officiate. Interment will be in Bellevue cemetery [located in Ontario, Calif.].    The Daily Report, Ontario, California  June 28, 1945

Hi, I have just completed pages with information, photos, databases and links for most of the Civil War Prison Camps (I am still working on this project!). The newest pages are for Camp Ford, Johnson's Island and Danville Prison. I think if you are researching the Civil War or looking for information about specific prison camps, you will find these pages very informative and helpful.

I have updated my OWEN Family page, and also added the first of several branches of the OWEN family tree. My GG-grandfather, was John C. Owen who came from Guilsfield, Wales in 1839 to Canada. He worked there for a year and then came into the United States and settled in Stephenson County, Illinois according to family stories and writings by my G-grandmother Ellen Josephine Owen Harrison, youngest daughter of John & Lydia Owen which were recently sent to me by my father's cousin. John Owen worked for a man named Cal Giddons or Giddings where he met my GG-grandmother Lydia Ellen Fox. Lydia was one of 8 children born to Aaron Fox & Susan Albert. According to my G-grandmother's writing, her mother Lydia and her two brothers (the youngest children) were given away to families when Lydia's father died. At this time it is not known the exact circumstances or if this Cal Giddons was related to the Fox or Albert families. The Owen family came to Saunders County, Nebraska sometime between 1873-1875. <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/owen.html">OWEN FAMILY</A> http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/owen.html <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/edowen.html"> Edward Owen Family of Saunders County, NE</A> http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/edowen.html I would like to hear from anyone that can help add dates for the Edward Owen family's descendants births, deaths, etc. Surnames for this family are: ROOT, STUBBS, NEYMOR, HUBBARD, MAHARG or MALARG, WAGNER, BARGER, LITTLEFIELD, WHITE (aka Buckskin Charlie of Hamilton County,NE), HAYS, KING, ROPER and some others.

Hi ... I have a complete copy of the centennial paper printed in November of 1975. It shows many old photos and list many pioneer names. If anyone has a relative shown there I'd be happy to send you the paper as none of my relatives are specifically listed (they were farmers not businessmen). Cheryle Rappe'

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: {not a subscriber} PATTEE/ARNOLD Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 01:13:07 -0600 From: Kearney Bothwell <[email protected]> To: Nebraska Roots List <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> This is a tough one because I have so little to go on to begin with! I'm looking for information on the family of my gggrandmother, Alice Louell Pattee. All I know for sure is that she was born in Nebraska on Dec. 4, 1879 and her mother's maiden name was Arnold. Can anyone on the list help get me pointed the right way to locate information on this family? Thanks. Kearney Bothwell

As a first request on this list am searching for any information on the German (surname) family in Richardson County, NE - 1870's - Samuel Germain (changed spelling of his name when him & brother Abel had a fight) - their mother Mary "Polly" German buried near Athens in 1878 but no stone so unable to get further information .. Samuel stayed in Nebraska .. Abel German moved to Crab Orchard, NE - a child buried there - before he moved to Kansas.

The Storyteller's was written by a Bob Dunn and should be noted as such. This seems to be making the rounds of all mailing lists without stating the true author's name.
