Greetings from Baraboo, Sauk County, the circus city. I have been doing some research on the Al. Ringling Mansion in Baraboo which was built in 1905-06 and is faced in Lake Superior brownstone. One newspaper article states that the cut stone work was done by "H. Walters of Dunville" Could this have been Dunnville? Can anyone verify that an H. Walters, or something similar, lived in Dunn County and was a mason? Any help would be greatly appreciated. His work was impeccable and I hope to find out more about him. Thanks, Paul Wolter Sauk County Historical Society

Surnames: Howland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gFC.2ACI/1248.1 Message Board Post: Not all persons going to these "institutions" were mentally deranged. My great grandfather, Hiram Howland, much to our surprise, died in the WI State Hospital at Mendota. From all that I can gather Hiram was ill for several years. A paper from the Dunn County Courthouse states "duration of illness: long standing". Hiram was a number of years older than his wife, Mary Alice Chase Howland, and there were 5 children at home. We believe the farm, in Chippewa County, WI, had to be sold (he was a Civil War veteran and had come to WI for the land promised to veterans) and the family had to move into Menomonie (Dunn Co.), WI. From Hiram's obit it says his health had been failing for 2-3 years "and it was found necessary to take him to the Mendota asylum". We think they just had awful money problems. One daughter, in the 1950's, applied for a visa to travel to Europe. Since she had no legal birth certificate one of the pieces of evidence used for her visa was an "aid to depe! ndent children" form from 1898 the year her father died. My family is out of Dunn and Chippewa Counties which are on the western part of WI near MN. I guess grab a map and check out all the county genweb sites and then hone in using a search engine for poorhouses and asylums. I'll bet every county had one or more and they eventually became "old folks home" for county residents. Good luck.

I have a great interest in my old family here in Norway, but I do have a strange probleme: A man called Ole Haagensen Hohjem, born Nov. 24th.-1856 in Norway, seems to disappear during the years 1884-85. Family rumours say 'he left for America'. There are no traces of him left in Norway. He was educated as 'Mecanicus' and left his wife and two small daughters behind in the small town Hönefoss, Norway. I would be glad for any information about him!

Starting today (Monday, 6/10) and extending over several days, RootsWeb is going to be moving the list servers and other machines. No messages sent are expected to be lost, but the lists will be down for a while when it happens; please don't post "why aren't I getting mail" during that time.....you will when it comes back up, and you don't want half of it to be everyone on the list asking why aren't they getting mail. <g> If you have trouble reaching other RW servers this week, it's probably for the same reason; try again in an hour or two or three.....

It's the exit just before the main exit to Menomonie. Go south on B to Hwy 12/Stout Rd (abt 1 mi). Turn right/west on Hwy 12 and go to 13th St. There's a Culver's restaurant on the left just before you get to this intersection. Turn right/north onto 13th St. Follow this road to Evergreen Cemetery. I've also attached a map which shows the location of the cemetery which is sitting on an island. If you're searching for a particular grave and you don't know where it's located, you might want to first contact the Area Research Center at Stout. I believe they have a map. You'll find info on the Area Research Center at this web site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~widunn/ .... click on "Addresses." The cemetery is pretty large. Have a good trip! Linda PS - I have an uncle with surname Waller from Menomonie.
