Jean, I had thought that the name was Bostick but you never can be too sure. Thanks for the background. If Tricia is successful in getting the lot it will be nice . We can make a display of them in the museum that we are working on. Tricia has promised the to the Gallia County Genealogical Society and we will be most happy to have them, Thanks Tricia.

With a very brief peek, I did find a Julius Bostick, born in February 1894 in Ohio. His father was Addison (I think that's the correct transcription) Bostick, and his mother was Christina Bostick. It appears that his parents married in about 1893. He had a younger brother, Fred A. Bostick, born in 1897. All were born in Ohio. They were living in Walnut Township in Gallia County in 1900. I found the family in Walnut Township, again in 1910. It states that the wife of Addison Bostick had three children, two still alive. Julius and Fred are still at home. Julius is 16 in 1910. It appears that Otto (?) Bostick is living with his brother, Addison. Otto Bostick is widowed. There is also Marguerite (?) Bostick living with the family, and she is the niece of Addison Bostick. I note on this census that Addison and Otto Bostick's father was born in Ohio, but the mother was born in Germany. The family is still in Walnut Township, Gallia County in 1920, with their last name spelled as "Bostic." Julius and Fred are still at home. Addison's wife is listed as "Tena." Both of Tena's parents are from Germany. Addison is listed as a farmer. I hope that his helps to identify for someone whose family this is. I'm guessing that I've got the right Bostick family. I was unable to locate any Bosteck family. - Jean Griesan Sunny Colorado (today anyway) -----Original Message----- From: cheryl enyart [mailto:trayne1837inc@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 8:37 AM To: OHGALLIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHGALLIA-L] Pictures on Ebay NOW---JULIUS HENRY BOSTECK?
