    1. Madison County Judge August W. Wilde (1934-), my ancestor
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wilde, Krause, Hicks, Jennings, Thompson, Todd Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JgB.2ACE/1111 Message Board Post: Need any information on August Wil Wilde born 1897 to Albert A. Wilde & Leslie D. Jennings-Wilde. He earned his law degree at Cumberland Univ. & immediately admitted to the bar in TN and practised in Jackson, Madison Co. seat. He married, in 1930, Kate L. Bobbitt of Tennessee. (Note: I posted a query on this site June 25, approx., 2004 under the name of "Wilde", listing ancestors of Judge August. These were Charles F. Wilde, his grandfather, whose wife was Mary Krause (I had the wrong last name), born in 1843 in Saxony, Germany. Both Charles & his brother August who came to Jackson, TN by at least 1871 because Charles passed away in 1872; August raised Charles' children: charles F. Wilde, Jr., William J. Wilde, and Albert August Wilde. August W. Wilde, Charles F. Sr.'s grandson, became a Madison County, TN judge in 1934. There is an oustanding bio of Judge Wilde in "TENNESSEE, A HISTORY", VOL. IIII, (1673-1932) published by the American Historical Soceity, N.Y. in ! 1833. Other descendants of the Wildes, who were from far northeastern Prussia in Europe, were a J. R. Thompson III, a Hicks and John R. and Mary W. Todd--alot of the above are buried in historic Riverside Cemetery. Thank you for any information on descendants and historical facts. CB P.S. Mary Krause donated the land for a building of the Trinity Methodist Church.

    3. I am the typist from Texas that David mentions, and I want to encourage some of you to help David. We Madison County researchers are so lucky to have Jonathan Smith to do the hard work of research and publishing and then be generous enough to allow us to transcribe it on to the Internet, and to have David Donahue who weaves the magic to get the material on the Internet - to say nothing of all the work he does with transcribing material himself and surveying untold number of cemeteries. I have a scanner and find it easy to scan typed material and edit it. I'm not a good typist so that helps! I do it in my spare time and find it very rewarding, knowing that I am helping others like myself who cannot run to the Jackson - Madison County Library Tennessee Room when we need to. And there, again we are fortunate to have the very helpful and knowledgeable Jack Wood. There is a copious amount of material about Madison County online but it can be enhanced by a few more volunteers. Just email David and he will get you started.

    3. Any of the marriage records available on microfilm can be transcribed by anyone who wants to take on the work. If you live in Jackson you could spend a few hours a week at a microfilm reader and transcribe . If you live elsewhere, you can order a reel from the Tennessee State Library and Archives and work at a reader elsewhere. It would help to own a microfilm reader. An easier undertaking would to complete the retranscription of the loose marriage bonds. The loose marriage bonds were transcribed by the WPA project in the 1930s and a bound volume is available at the Tennessee Room at the Jackson-Madison County Library. You could xerox pages and take them home to type. Some of the loose marriage bonds were retranscribed for Family Findings. The genealogical society was unable to sustain the effort to retranscribe the loose marriage bonds and only about 40 percent ever appeared in Family Findings. The remainder of the book is waiting. It is not scanable. There is a wealth on Jonathan Smith materials about Madison County still to be done. I only found two volunteers willing to work with his materials -- one living in Maryland and the other in Texas. David

    1. On cemeteries
    2. David Donahue
    3. The first cemetery I ever recorded was in Perry County. I did almost nothing with Perry County while I was CC of Madison Co. TNGenWeb, so I spend some of last week's un-August weather there. In some ways I was the most recent in a line of people who recorded Madison Co. cemeteries. The late William B. Elam of Medina recorded many Carroll, Gibson, and Madison Co. cemeteries in the 1960s and early 1970s. Robert and Wilma Nolan were recording cemeteries in the 1970s, as were Floyd and Helen Johnson. These two couples did many of the cemeteries which appeared in the north and south cemetery books. Jonathan K. T. Smith worked in the 1990s. He recorded all the black cemeteries and did an update of the active ones. For the north and south cemetery books he did many of the obscure cemeteries and a couple of large cemeteries others backed out of or did not want to do -- Calvary and Brown's. Then there was me 2001-2004. I did the recommended three-year updates of active black cemeteries, cemeteries where Rushings are buried, and some of the larger cemeteries which I thought were needed online -- Big Springs, Antioch, Maple Springs, Providence. Now it is time for another cemetery person to emerge. The north and south cemetery books are adequate for old inactive cemeteries. Here is what is needed most. Highland Memorial is the cemetery most people may need information from but this will be addressed by the cemetery book currently being compiled by the Mid-West Tennessee Genealogical Society. It will records-based and not marker-based, much like the Hollywood book and its update. Ridgecrest is a large Jackson cemetery recorded in the mid-1980s. Ridgecrest is near the largest size that a single person or a couple could do, but it is doable. It would be like doing two Lexington cemeteries or four Brown's. I actually thought about doing it but with me the commute was the problem. It cannot be done by someone who lives in Parsons. Active black cemeteries should be updated at an interval no longer than three years and white cemeteries should be updated at an interval no longer than five years. This gives a chance to record temporary markers which are never replaced by permanent markers. Any active cemetery in the north and south cemetery books not since updated is in need of an update. Aside from the large Jackson cemeteries, Bethel is the cemetery most needed online. This cemetery is in Gibson Co., west of Windy City, just beyond the county line. The associated church is in Madison County. Though many Gibson Co. cemeteries are online, Bethel is not. Elsewhere in the northern half of the county, Calvary (1992) and Davidson Yard (1995) are online but dated. In the south, cemeteries most in need of being updated and placed online are East Laurel and the white Clover Creek. Online but now five years old is Ebenezer Cemetery in Malesus, recorded in April 1999. David
