If so, an obit would have been in the Wisconsin state journal or Capital Times, and unfortunately unless the person was a big deal in the city, any obit was minute, with burial time/location during that time. Your best bet would be to get her death certificate, which is $7 from Dane Co. vital records in Madison. Erin

Johnson married on 14 March 1894 in Rock Co., WI to Mabel Starkweather. Volume 5 page 390. Harvey W. Starkweather was married to Sarah Ryan on August 22, 1850 in Rock Co. Volume 1 page 146 Frank Henry Starkweather was married on Oct. 20, 1875 to Ella Frankie Edwards, Volume 2 page 453 Sarah E. Starkweather married June 20, 1883 to James S.

Montgomery, Volume 6, page 308 Olive Starkweather married Sept. 12, 1850 to Lorenzo Armidon Volume 1 page 170 The 1880 Brooklyn, Green Co., WI has Mabel Starkweather. Census on June 22 and 23, 1880, page 35. Brooklyn is very close to the Town of Union. What appears to be strange with this census is that Brooklyn is actually in Dane Co. on the Rock Co. line. Starkweather Harvey P. age 55, farmer born in New York father born in Vermont and mother in New York Sarah age 48 wife, keeping house born New Brunswick, father born Ireland motoher born Ireland Harvey R. age 21 son works on farm born in Wisconsin Katie A. age 15 daughter at school born in Wisconsin Mabel age 12 daughter at school born in Wisconsin Frank Clark age 14 nephew at school born in NY parents born in NY Carrie Peterson age 22 servent born in Norway, parents born Norway This census states Mabel is 12 years old. I did not find her in the 1870 census but the 1900 census she states she was born in December of 1870. The next familly on this census is that of: Anson Starkweather age 84, retired born in Vermont parents born Vermont Lucretia age 73 wife keeping house born New York father in Massachusetts mother in Vermont 1870 census for Brooklyn, Green Co., WI page 38 Starkweather H P age 45 farmer New York Sarah age 34 keeping house New Brunswick Ella age 18 born Wisconsin school teacher Joseph age 15 Wisconsin Harvey age 12 Wisconsin Katie age 6 Wisconsin Clark, Frank age 4 born Wisconsin H age 74 born in Vermont Lucretia 63 born in New York Alvord 44 born New York 1860 Brooklyn, Green Co., WI July 13, 1870 page 75 Post Office is Dayton Indexed as Stockweather H.P. age 32 farmer $1300 $600 born in New York Sarah age 27 born in Nova Scotia Children born in Wisconsin: Ellen age 9 Joseph age 5 Harvey age 2 A. age 66 farmer $2000 $600 born Vermont Lucretia age 53 born Pennsylvania Albert age 34 born in New York $1200 personal 1850 Town of Brooklyn Dist No. 4, Green Co., WI October 16, 1850 Starkweather Anson age 53 farmer $2000 born Vermont Lucretia age 41 born Pennsylvania Children all born in New York: Alvord age 24 farmer Harriet age 18 Marion age 12 Emeroy age 14 Erastus age 5 Adelbert age 3 Harvey P. age 25 farmer $800 born New York Sarah age 18 born New Brunswick Amidon, Olive age 21 born New York Price, Prudence age 77 born in Pennsylvania. Prudence is most likely the mother to Lucretia. See the record below and Harvey's middle name is Price. This census with Prudence Price, suggests that she is somehow related to this family. In the Wisconsin Necrology records, volume 11 pages 171 to 172 there is an obit for Harvey Price Starkweather 1825 to 1910 Harvey P. Starkweather of Brooklyn is also in the History of Green Co., Wisconsin page 720, a biographical sketch, published in 1884 I will have to look at the Johnson side another time. Since that is such a common surname, it will be best to see the marriage record. Please contact me direct and I may be able to give you the name of a person who may have more information on the Starkweather lineage. marana@charter.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <cmirjohn@earthlink.net> To: <WIDANE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [WIDANE] Mr. Bernice Myron Johnson > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WFC.2ACI/2531.1 > > Message Board Post: > > I am Bernice and Mabel (Starkweather) Johnson's great granddaughter.

Melvin, the veteran who was injured by the premature discharge of a canon at Madison on the 4th, died on the afternoon of the 5th. His chief injuries were internal although his arm was broken in three places and literally stripped of flesh. He belonged at Wausau and was employed about the capital. A curious coincidence is that Melvin was distantly related to John Betts, who was fatally injured in the same manner on the 4th of July eighteen years ago, and who was removed to the same house that Melvin expired in, where he died next afternoon.

(This message is being posted to numerous mailing lists. Please excuse the duplication if you receive it more than once.) The University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac campus will be the site of the upcoming Wisconsin State Genealogical Society 2006 Fall Seminar, "Crossroads at the Foot of the Lake" on Saturday, October 14th. The hosts will be the Fond du Lac County Genealogical Society. Along with the usual array of great vendors offering genealogy-related items for sale, the featured speaker will be nationally-known genealogical speaker, educator, researcher and writer, Paula Stuart-Warren, CGSM. Paula is a former officer of the Association of Professional Genealogists and serves on its Professional Management Conference committee. She served for six years on the board of the Minnesota Genealogical Society, and has served on program committees for the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National Genealogical Society. She is a member of the FGS Long Range Conference Planning Committee and was National Publicity Chair for the 2006 FGS Conference in Boston. Paula will be delivering four lectures: * Railroad Records and Railroad History: Methods for Tracking How many genealogists have heard that great-grandpa traversed this nation as he worked for the railroad? For which railroad did he work? Where did it run? Are there railroad records still extant which may tell us something about his ancestry or where he later went? This lecture addresses these questions. Visuals and references demonstrate the wealth of historical materials available all across the U.S. When this lecture is over you will know where to turn to find out more about the railroad, its records, and how to determine current day access to the records. * Twentieth & Twenty-First Century Research Are you stumped by missing or split families, unindexed censuses, city dwellers, lack of extended family, or often-mobile families? As we now move forward in the 21st century do you need information on the more recent generation? Do you have living relatives to find? Some researchers have neglected the more current relatives thinking there aren't as many resources to use. After this session you will be prepared to find some information on those who lived or were born in the 20th century. Sure, there are fewer censuses, but the many other records that are available will help you. As the years passed by some records became more standardized. More courthouses regularly created indexes. To these we add today's explosion of online catalogs, indexes, and finding aids. Research is research, no matter the time period. Some things remain constant and some records do contain more information and may be indexed. Whether you are researching in the 18th, 19th, 20th, or 21st century you still need to link the generations by proving relationships, checking out the relatives, putting people in specific places and verifying names, dates, and places. Finding a living relative with information to share or finding out more about a relative you knew is rewarding research. * Organizing Your Genealogical Materials How tall are the stacks of your genealogical materials and in how many rooms are your papers and books stored? Is it time you made sense of your materials, organized them so they can be found, and determined what is important to keep handy? How should you store your important materials? Just starting your research? Why not organize sensibly from the beginning? This session will help you deal with these questions, and also provide easy tips to help keep you on top of your organization. We'll even discuss some "lazy day" methods to keep you on top of your filing. * A Baker's Dozen of Simple Ways to Write Your Family History Any one can write! Learn ways to get your family history in print without a lot of strain. It's not as daunting a task as you might think. A "baker's dozen" of ways to work on this over time and ideas to get your greater family involved will be shared. You may find that you are already doing some of these but hadn't realized you were actually getting family history into print! Some of the ideas lend themselves to scrapbooking techniques. Including family health history information is an important part of the process; what you share in print may aid a family member some day. Sharing and preserving the family stories, both the joyous times and the tough times, can enhance your understanding of yourself and the greater family. Visuals will demonstrate the "Baker's Dozen" and a handout will point you to further ideas and help in both print and online formats. As a special pre-conference event, WSGS Past President and NGS Board Member, Jack Brissee, will present, Looking for Ourselves -- A Workshop for Beginning Genealogists, on Friday afternoon, October 13th, from 1:00-4:00 PM. Registration for this workshop will be limited to thirty attendees, so be sure to sign up early! The UW-Fond du Lac campus is located at 400 University Drive on the northeastern corner of the city of Fond du Lac. For campus maps and driving directions, see http://www.fdl.uwc.edu/campus_map.html.

I have noted the recent discussion about WOOD families in Dane County for the same approximate time period that my WOOD family lived there, and wonder if there might be some overlapping (in spite of the frequency of the surname - WOOD). I am specifically looking for information about the family of Cordelia SAWYER NELSON WOOD. Her obituary appeared Nov 1902 as follows: "MRS. CORDELIA S. NELSON DEAD Early Pioneer of Dane County Dies at General Hospital Mrs. Cordelia Sawyer Nelson, for many years a prominent resident of Dane County, and one of Wisconsin's early settlers, died at the General Hospital at 7 o'clock Saturday morning. Death was the result of asthama (sic) and stomach trouble. The funeral was held Monday afternoon. She was buried in the cemetery at Token Creek in the Town of Burke. Cordelia Sawyer was born at Rushville, New York, February 5, 1828, and was nearly 75 years old. She was married to James B. Wood, Nov. 20, 1843. Three sons and one daughter was the result of their union. One son is dead. Delbert Wood resides in the Town of Burke and Luther, the other son in Chauchula, Ala. Mrs. J.C. Phillips, the daughter is the wife of a Bloomington, (Ill.) shoe dealer. The deceased married Mr. Emery Nelson, a prosperous farmer of the Town of Burke in 1866, several years after Mr. Wood died. One daughter, Mrs. O.E. Hunt of the Avenue Hotel was born to them. Mrs. Nelson had been visiting her daughter Mrs. Phillips at Bloomington in the early fall, but had expressed a desire to return to Wisconsin, her health being in such a state, she knew the end was near. It was her desire to be buried at Token Creek. Mrs. Phillips was here to attend the funeral of her mother. Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Hunt feel the loss of their mother keenly. The son in Alabama has not been heard from --- Madison Journal ". I am especially interested in Mrs. O.E. HUNT (Della NELSON). Cordelia's son, Delbert WOOD may have been christened Adelberth (b1852 d1925). His brothers were Luther and George (b 1849 d1859) and daughter, Mrs. Julius C. PHILLIPS was Ellen J. WOOD, b 1866. Any relatives of these people out there? Alleen-Marie Coke
