Wallen and found them in 1930 Vermilion Co. IL. George is shown as the youngest child. Scroll down a little further and you will find Tim Wallen, Illinois death records. It is information from the death certificate for Maurine Wallen. (Unfortunately, they do not include cause of death on these transcriptions.) She was born 3 Feb 1905 in KY, died 19 May 1930 in Pilot township, Vermilion Co. IL. (She must have died soon after the census was taken.) Her father is shown as R. F. Rodgers (Rogers), b. KY and her mother as Georgia Chenney, b. KY. Her spouse is shown as Tim Wallen. The marriage date you have for her seems a little off. She was still living in the home of her parents at the time of the 1920 census. They were in Hart Co. KY. Her father is shown as Robert T. Rogers, her mother's name is shown as Georgia, and Maurine was 15 years old so I feel sure it must be the right family. They are all shown as white, with their parents also born KY. However, enumeration records are sometimes inconsistent so you really need to find them in other records. Here is another link that will tell you how to get the death certificate for Maurine Wallen, which should have the cause of death. http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/databases.html Click on databases, then click on death records 1916 - 1950. Click on Search the records now. Fill in the name for Maurine Wallen, then choose Vermilion County. You will see the certificate number for her and you can click on getting information on how to secure a death certificate. A certified copy is $17.00 but you can get an uncertified copy for $10.00. There is a Sample copy of a death certificate which you can enlarge by clicking on it. It will show the information expected to be on a death certificate, including cause of death. I live in Oklahoma and there are no U. S. census records earlier than 1900. So many people have family stories of Native American heritage, but trying to find it can often seem to be impossible.

If you believe that you may be related please contact me at cfsnipes@gmail.com. Thanks Cheryl Below is a article from the Rome, Georgia news paper that I found recently There are no signs or plaques to mark where the small community of Freeman Town once stood. But 150 years ago, an enterprising man by the name of William Thomas Freeman established a settlement on what is now Berry College property, where six black families would eventually live and flourish. But since the acquisition of that land by Berry College, the Freeman Town community has been all but forgotten - its residents, culture and stories lost to history. The only thing that remains is a neglected, overgrown cemetery. There are some, however, who are trying to keep the memory of Freeman Town alive. "We had gone out to do cemetery surveys on the Berry campus," said Rebecca Henry, curator at the Martha Berry Museum. "I was appalled at the fact that basically no one on the Berry campus knows about this place. There's no direct access to the cemetery. I wanted it to be something people could see and hopefully get restored." So Henry began to dig up what information she could find about the long-forgotten community. She delved through the Berry College archives and pored over land records until she pieced together a rough history of Freeman Town. The community was established in the mid to late 1860s by William Thomas Freeman, a slave who had escaped to fight for the North during the Civil War. He received his freedom after the war, Henry said. His owner had moved to Rome and Henry believes Freeman returned to this area and purchased approximately 550 acres of land. The land he purchased is in the middle of what is now Berry College property. All that's left are the remnants of a cemetery at the end of Stretch road. "From what we can tell, William leased the land out to six different families," Henry said. "That was a big deal, particularly for an African American during that time period." >From the mid to late 1860s until Aug. 29, 1926, the Freeman Town community thrived. Henry said the families that lived there - the Hendricks, Rogers, Montgomerys, Sanfords, Joneses and Maddoxes - were self sufficient. "We know that they had farms, homesteads, and a church which served as a schoolhouse," she said. "They also had a blacksmith shop. William Thomas Freeman was the blacksmith." By 1926 when the Berry School acquired the land, Henry said only the older members of the community were living in Freeman Town. The younger generations, she said, had moved north to gain more freedom and to seek their fortunes. Henry said in 1926 Martha Berry was just starting to build what is now the mountain campus. There was water on the Freeman Town property to which Berry wanted access and they wanted to build a road through the community. "So the land was purchased from the descendants of William Thomas Freeman," Henry said. "And that was the end of Freeman Town as we know it." While the community itself no longer exists, Henry said its history is an extremely important part of Rome's heritage. "It's important because African American families in this time period were not well established," she said. "For a community to come about that so was self sufficient and so well established speaks to the strength of these families. This needs to be remembered." Rome residents can learn a little more about Freeman Town from a new exhibit at the Martha Berry Museum. Part of the museum's "Erasing the Color Line" exhibit features a family tree as well as photographs and maps of Freeman Town. Several of the items once belonged to a woman called "Aunt Martha" who was William Thomas Freeman's sister. "She eventually ended up working for the Berry family as their cook and housekeeper," Henry said. "Because of that connection, we have some of her personal belongings at the museum." Patrice Shannon, interim director of Oak Hill and the Martha Berry Museum, agreed with Henry that Freeman Town's history must not be allowed to fade with time. "Although grave markers are the only things that remain of Freeman Town's existence, it is not a forgotten place," she said. "We produced this exhibit to revive this part of Berry's history and to tell the story of the people who lived here. Freeman Town is a large part of Berry's history and in turn Rome's history. It is important to keep that history alive." The exhibit is also a starting point of sorts. Henry hopes that its existence will encourage area residents who have information or items relating to Freeman Town to come forth and share what they know. If you have any information regarding the Freeman Town community, its residents or history, please call Rebecca Henry at 706-368-6705.

I originally thought J. Durand was just Durand, but my dad (their great grandson) told me that it was a middle name. I'm not sure what the J stands for. He was probably born between 1905 and 1915 and Vivian was born in 1915. Vivian died 21 Sep 1996 in Kalamazoo, MI and is buried in Portage, MI. Not sure when Durand died, but I'm almost certain it was before 1992. They had a son named Ronald Durand Rogers b. 15 Aug 1932 d. 15 Mar 2008. If you can help me at all, please let me know.

Deceased was living near the old escapement shaft, about half a mile southwest of No.5 mine, owned by the Grape Creek Coal Company. The family used the escapement as a summer cellar in which to keep their milk cool. On the day named, he sent his son, a boy of 14 years of age, to bring something from there. The boy had gone down three or four feet below the surface, when he was overcome by gas coming from the abandoned workings of the mine. The father went down to his son's rescue and lifting the boy, handed him to his wife. The moment he had done so, he lost all control of himself and fell backwards down the shaft to a platform 8 feet down, and, and from ten to fifteen minues elapsed before he was taken out. It was than found that he was dead. The top of the shaft was properly fenced off in compliance with the law. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that his death was accidental. He! left a widow and five children. from page 59, 1894July7, Charles Rogers, age 59, occupation miner, residence Grape Creek, survived by widow and 5 children, 2 dependents total, killed by gas from old mine.
