    1. [WIDANE] Help finding gravesites in Mazomanie
    2. I am trying to locate gravesites in/near Mazomanie. I know that my great-grandfather corresponded with Edd J. [or G.] Hodson in 1939. Hodson’s letter is as follows: “Mazomanie July 26, 1839 … I find that lot of the Morrows has permanent care so I put an endowed marker on it this morning. Mr. Ellis[e?] could not find any record of any one but Thos. Morrow and S. Morrow that is all I can say at present. … Lot 15-Block 1 Thomas Morrow S. Morrow This is what Ellis[e?] gave me” My great-grandfather replied, “I know that there are four bodies buried on that lot: My grandfather, Marshall Morrow; My grandmother, Sarah Morrow; My Uncle, Thomas C. Morrow; My Aunt, Mary Morrow” An obituary for Mary Morrow, who died in 1926, said she was buried in the Mazomanie cemetery. Any information would be appreciated as I will be in that area of Wisconsin in the near future.

    2. MORROW, Sarah (Hockenbury) (no headline) J.F. Morrow and Otis Morrow were home at their mother's funeral. The death of Mrs. Marshall Morrow occurred on Saturday, the 6th, and the funeral took place on Monday. Mrs. Morrow was an elderly lady and came from Ohio to Mazomanie about twelve years ago. She was then in delicate health and the change doubtless prolonged her life many years. She leaves a husband, one daughter, and four sons. -- Weekly Sickle, Mazomanie, Wis., May 13, 1882 MORROW, Marshall (no headline) Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Morrow, Spring Green, were here to attend his father's funeral on Wednesday. The death of Mr. Morrow, one of our old and respected citizens, which occurred at his home northeast of this village on Monday last from that dread destroyer, consumption, has caused much sorrow in this community, where he was so highly esteemed by all. The deceased was 74 years of age and his many years' residence here had gained many warm friends. He leaves a family to mourn his loss, all of whom have reached the estate of manhood and womanhood. The funeral took place at his residence on Wednesday morning and was attended by mourning relatives and sorrowing friends. -- The Sickle, Mazomanie, Wis., Sat. June 4, 1887 On Wednesday last Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Morrow, of this place, attended the funeral of his father, at Mazomanie. Mr. Morrow, Sr., died on Monday the 30th ult., of consumption, at the age of 74 years. he was an old resident of the town of Mazo. and much respected. -- Weekly Home News, Spring Green, Wis., June 9, 1887 MORROW, Thomas C. (no headline) The following obituary of T.C. Morrow of whose death mention was made in this paper of Thursday last, is from the Mazomanie Sickle. Thomas Coleman Morrow died at his home, a short distance north of this village, last Friday evening, dropsy and asthma being the cause of his death. He was born in Woodsfield, Ohio, April 6, 1850. He moved to Mazomanie with his parents in 1868, and has since resided at the old homestead. Deceased was educated in the Mazomanie schools and the Platteville normal. He followed teaching for a number of years, and it is said he excelled as an instructor. Having been a sufferer from asthma since infancy, he could not play as other boys, and his mind turned to other sources of amusement. He was a keen observer, a great reader and a man of large mental ability. He was well versed in Indian lore, and as a naturalist had no equal in this part of the country. Scarcely a bird, small animal or reptile native of these parts but he knew their habits. He was a friend of the boys, and took delight in helping them with the more difficult problems that confronted them in their school work. He was also an artist of no mean ability, and has many excellent paintings. He leaves one brother, J.F. Morrow, of Spring Green, and one sister, who lived with him. An older brother, a colonel in the army, died a few years ago in Calfiornia (sic). Mr. Morrow was buried Tuesday, services being held at the house at 1:30 p.m., conducted by Rev. Crawford. -- Weekly Home News, Spring Green, Wis., Thursday, Feb. 5, 1904 MORROW, James F. (no headline) J.F. Morrow, of Spring Green, brother of Miss Mary Morrow, of this place, and well known to many of our citizens and to poeple on the Prairie du Chein division where for many years he served as mail clerk on trains running between Milwaukee and McGregor, Iowa, died Sunday, Dec. 17, 1922, at the Soldiers' Home in Milwaukee. He has been in failing health for some months and was taken to the home three weeks ago. Mr. Morrow was a veteran of the civil war, a tireless worker for his home community interests, and a prime mover in the inception and organization of the Inter-County fair at Spring Green. He was seventy-five years of age. Interment will be made at Spring Green today. -- The Sickle, Mazomanie, Wis., Dec. 22, 1922 MORROW, Mary Ann (no headline) Miss Mary Ann Morrow, an old resident of this place, died at the home of Miss Augusta Blomiley, Friday, July 30, 1926.

Miss Morrow is survived by two nephews, Frank Morrow, of Milwaukee, and Homer Morrow, of Platteville; also two nieces, Mrs. Elsie Rouse of New London, and Mrs. Blanche Burns, of Cedaredge, Colo.

You can search for them here: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/roster/search.asp Be sure to check both the alphabetical index and the regimental listings, as they contain different information. Summary information on soldiers' service is found in the Red Book and the Blue Book, which are on film at the Wisconsin Historical Society. See: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/ogrs/cwimage.asp Perhaps you could find a volunteer to do a lookup for you. The most comprehensive information is likely to be found in their compiled service records and their pension application records at the National Archives.

    1. [WIDANE] WILLIAMS Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of John Morris WILLIAMS which was taken at the Jones Studio in Madison, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with John appearing to be in his 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of John M. WILLIAMS b. 26 May 1852 at Spring Green or Dodgeville, WI to parents Thomas Neziah WILLIAMS and Elisabeth A. MORRIS. John M. WILLIAMS married twice, first to Martha A. DAVIES or DAVIS on 24 Mar 1886 in Wyoming, WI, and second to Mary Jane DAVIS on 23 Dec 1896 in Columbus, IA. John died 22 Mar 1922 in Columbus, IA and is buried there as well. I'm hoping to be able to return the photograph to his family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
