Several of the Himley brothers lived in Forest County, WI. Himley Lake in Forest County was named for one of them. My son and I camped and fished there when he was young and were living in Oak Park, IL. My grandfather, Edward Cornelius, was born in Dane County in 1877 and died in North Fond du Lac about 1950. Edward was a banker in Rice Lake, then, after a depression in the early twenties, became a station agent and telegrapher for the Soo Line. My father, one of the two grandchildren of Eric, Newman Edward Himley, was born in 1918 in Minneapolis and died here in Edgefield, SC in 1998. His father, Edward C., married Emma Benson when they were both middle aged. My father was their only child. He lived in Fond du Lac during is high school years. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1945. He married my mother, Anne Durisoe Day, of Trenton and Edgefield, SC in 1945. They had met while he was a JAG officer in the Army stationed at Anniston, Alabama, and she a nurse for the federal reserve bank of Atlanta. I was born in 1946 in Augusta, GA. I have one sister, Katharine Mims Nelson, born in 1950. She has three children and lives in Carrolton, GA. She is a nurse, as was my mother. Her oldest son is named Erick Anderson Dunlap. My father practiced law in the Midwest until his retirement in 1980. He and my mother retired then to Edgefield. He passed away in 1998 and my mother in 2003. I was married to Margaret Ruth Huenemann of Glenn Ellen, Illinois, in 1968. We lived in Fairbanks, AK, while I was stationed in the Army, then, after graduating from the University of Illinois, in the Chicago area. We were divorced in 1978. I moved to Edgefield in the early 1980s as I had joint custody of our only child, Matthew Day Himley, born in 1974, and I wanted him to be near his grandparents. He was valedictorian of the class of 1992 of Strom Thurmond High School, here in Edgefield County and graduated from Northwestern in 1998. (Edgefield was Strom's hometown.) He is now a doctoral candidate in Geography at Syracuse University. I am a counselor and Special Education teacher in Augusta, GA. I retire from teaching tomorrow. Susan's only child was a daughter, Mildred. I think she lived in Dane County. I think she is now dead, but do not know when she died. She and her husband lived on a farm and had children, but I can recall little of her, and only met her once. I'm writing this from memory. I have records packed away. When I find them and compile what you and the others have sent me, I will send you a more finished version. Thank you again for your help. Jim James E.
