They were in the Augusta area, from what I could tell, but I never really knew any of them. I did a little checking and found that there were these Paddock's who owned land back in 1910, including: NAME OF LAND OWNER RANGE SECTION PADDOCK EST, E A 25N-6W 15 PADDOCK, A G 25N-6W 10,16 PADDOCK, BRADFORD 25N-6W 10 PADDOCK, E B 25N-6W 10,15 (found in the Eau Claire Co. archives, under Land Records -- ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wi/eauclaire/land/1910ec/pqr.txt) These would all be in the Town of Bridge Creek. In fact, looking at a map that shows section numbers, sections 10, 15 and 16 are all next to each other. Range 25N-6W is the block just south of the Augusta city limits and these "Paddock Farms" are located a mile or so to the south and a little to the east of Augusta. To get there, you would take Co. Rd. M south off Hwy 12. Judging from this map it would be in the area where Co. Rds. M and RR intersect. Hope this helps! -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net

Trying to locate a theory..Ruth Stensland and father Alfred lived in Wisconsin/ Illinios area. I know several Stenslands were listed in Eau Claire around 1900. Would anyone have any info on these 2? BJ

Does anyone know of a "Paddock Farm" outside Fall Creek WI ?? Do not know the connection yet, but a cousin shared they visited there long ago with his mother on a trip visiting relatives. Would be greatful for any information ! Thanks in advance ! Lynne Researching : Lissack, Grawunder

from the Eau Claire WEEKLY LEADER, 21 February 1892 (Sun.) A SUDDEN DEATH A Fall on the Ice Brings Instant Death to Mrs. Patrick Kennedy An unfortunate miss-step on an icy sidewalk caused the instant death on Saturday evening of a well-known lady, and one who for twenty-two years has resided in Eau Claire. Mrs. Patrick Kennedy, who lives at 509 Dodge St., was passing through the park on the Eastside hill about 7:30 when she slipped and in falling struck upon the back of her head. One who saw her fall rushes to help her and was startled to find the old lady dead. Mrs. Kennedy is well-known, living here nearly a quarter of a century. She was 62 years of age. She leaves a husband and six daughters. The daughters are Mrs. Thos. Dowling, Mrs. C.E. Leach, Mrs. James Colbert, Mrs. Steven B. Coughlin, of this city; Mrs. Albert Hurd, of the town of Seymour, and Mrs. John Dowling, of Salt Lake City Utah. The funeral will take place from St. Patrick's church on Wednesday morning, Rev. Father Dunn officiating. from the Eau Claire NEWS, 19 February 1892 (Fri.) A Fatal Fall on the Ice While Mrs. Patrick Kennedy, aged 62 years, was crossing the park on University Hill on Sunday evening, she slipped and fell on the icy sidewalk, striking on her head, receiving injuries from which she died instantly. She had resided here fore twenty-two years, and leaves a husband and six married daughters -- Mrs. Thomas Dowling, Mrs. C.E. Leach, Mrs. James Colbert and Mrs. Steve B. Coughlin, of this city, Mrs. Albert Hurd, of Seymour, and Mrs. John Dowling of Salt Lake City. from THE TELEGRAM, 15 June 1897 (Tues.) James Welch, aged 60, died at his home, on the East side hill yesterday. The deceased settled here in 1863. A widow, four sons, James P., Wilfred, Albert and Frank, and two daughters, Mrs. Peter Lenfesty and Mrs. Charles Halblieb, survive him. The funeral services will be held at St. Patrick's church on Wednesday morning. from the Eau Claire WEEKLY LEADER, 11 February 1899 (Sat.) MET A HORRIBLE DEATH Mrs. Thomas F. Dowling Found Frozen Stiff Within a Few Feet of Warmth and Comfort Poor Woman Had Been Exposed For Hours -- Mystery Surrounds The Tragic Taking Off About 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the body of Mrs. Thomas F. Dowling was found lying frozen stiff within a few feet of the south door-way of the residence of Mrs. Daniel Harrington, corner of Main and Doty streets. Mrs. Harrington was the first to discover the unfortunate woman. Help was summoned and the corpse was taken to the undertaking rooms of J.H. Fleming on Galloway street. Dr. E.H. Parker examined the remains and said there was no doubt that the unfortunate woman had been frozen to death. At a coroner's inquest held in Justice McMahon's court yesterday afternoon Mrs. Daniel Harrington told of the deceased calling at her house the evening before, at about 7 o'clock; between 8 or 9 o'clock Mrs. Dowling arose to go home, she remarked, when asked not to hurry away: "I had better go home now, or I may be locked out, and have to awake the people." This was the last time she was seen alive, ad as far as is known, the words quoted are her last. Mrs. Dowling made her home with Thomas Brennan, a cousin, living on the Eat side hill. After her guest had gone, Mrs. Harrington retired, the next she saw of Mrs. Dowling, was when she opened her side door and found her lying in the snow frozen stiff. The body lay in such a location that persons going in or out at the east or front entrance could not see it, nor could persons passing on the sidewalk. This accounts for the fact that the body was not found until late in the forenoon. Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Gaelock, tenants in Mrs. Harrington's house, also testified that they were present when Mrs. Dowling called the evening before; they testified to the finding of the body. The first they knew of the tragic death was at 10:30 in the morning when they were attracted to the scene by Mrs. Harrington hollering to them. Thos. Brennan testified that Mrs. Dowling did not return to the house after leaving early in the evening. At the time she said she was going to visit her sister. What caused the poor woman to collapse when so near shelter is a mystery. Her relatives say that Mrs. Dowling was subject to heart trouble, and undoubtedly was seized with a heart attack after leaving Mr. Harrington's home. Her mother, Mrs. Kennedy, died very suddenly of the same trouble seven years ago, while on her way to her home. Death overtook the estimable lady in the East side hill park, a stone's throw from where her daughter was found. The testimony of her cousin, Thos. Brennan, shows she did not return to her home at any time during the night. Whether or not she collapsed immediately on leaving Mrs. Harrington's door, early in the evening, will never be known. The deceased was 31 years of age. Some time ago she was divorced from her husband, Mr. Thomas F. Dowling. Mr. Dowling served through the Porto Rico campaign with Company E, Third Wisconsin. They had two children who were given to the husband by the court. The children are living with their grandparents in Baraboo. Death Certificate MRS.

Henry Rafferty & Eugenia Arntz are my great grandparents marreid in Lyndon Station Nov 1883. Children are Edward, Charles, Joseph, Alice & my grandfather Leo Jerome.

After he died Eugenia worked at a stage coach station? cooking, cleaning and doing bookwork. I'm trying to find out if Patrick, John, or Henry Rafferty's families are listed in Eau Claire County census records from 1885 to 1900. Where can I write for find out this information?

Posted on: EauClaire Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire/10587 Surname: Kennedy ------------------------- The 18 June 1870 census for Eau Claire lists Patrick Kennedy and Ellen/Helen (nee Walsh). They were born in Ireland and married in Prince Edward Island,Canada c1857. They moved to Eau Claire after Dec. 1869. They had a family of 5 girls: Joanna, Catherine, Mary Ann, Margaret Ann and Ellen and 1 son Philip. The 5 girls all married in Eau Claire but I have no further record of Philip the son. Also living with them was Ellen/Helen Walsh born c1786 in Ireland the mother of Ellen Kennedy. She was my grt-grt-grt-grand- mother who I was unable to find any record of until just recently when I turned up this census record. The daughters married as follows; Joanna to A Charles Edward Leach; Catherine to Thomas F. Dowling; Mary Ann to James M. Culpert; Margaret Ann to John Joseph Dowling (bros to Thos.); and Ellen to Albert Hurd. I would be very interested in obtaining death records for either of the Ellen/Helen Walsh's as they could finally provide me with they place of origin in Ireland.

I haven't seen anything come through on the list, so I'm wondering. If you go to the Sacred Heart Cemetery page, which is linked off the Eau Claire Co. WIGenWeb main page under "Cemeteries", you will see a listing of veterans that are buried in this cemetery. If you scroll down to the bottom of this listing you will see a note stating that Peter Tannis is the sexton of this cemetery. By looking in the phone book, I've found that his address is: 2001 Schult St., Eau Claire, WI 54703 BTW, this cemetery is located on Omaha Street (as found on the web page above). Hope this answers some of your questions. -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net
