Hope everyone had a great week and broke through some of those "brick walls". The biography page is continuing to grow with 26 more biographies added this week for a total of 436 biographies now on the page. http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/WaupacaBios Obituaries or death notices for James Puller Clark, George Pope and Frank Harvey were added to the obituary page. http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/WaupacaObits News Articles were added to the following years: 1875, 1876, 1878, 1881 and 1882. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/News/waupnewsarticles.htm And pages have been added for the Waupaca County Poor House and Farm at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/wauppoor.htm and the Waupaca County Asylum at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/waupasylum.htm Both the Asylum Page and Poor House pages are under construction. A disappointing note also- the Sunday night Wisconsin Genealogy Chats have been permanenetly discontinued. Have a great week!

My latest mission in life is buying lovely old pictures like these in antique shops and locating descendants/family members and re-uniting the pictures with people who will treasure them. The picture is in very good condition, and I will be happy to send my mailing address to anyone who wishes to have it in order to send me a check to cover costs and postage: The picture is of "Laura Gibbons", who appears to be in her 20's...and she has long dark hair. The cost for this picture including postage is $7.00. Could you advise me the best way to advertise this, so that we can re-unite the picture with family members? Possibly you could turn this Email into a query on your site? Thanks for your help. Marge Rice, Joliet, IL....MARGERICE@prodigy.net Last Email was about a picture, and this one concerns a 61 page softcover book I purchased at a book sale: "Hamlin Garland, Dakota Homesteader", printed in 1961. Compiled by Lora Crouch. Hamlin was born in West Salem, WI, his wife was Isabel McClintock, and his daughters were Isabel G. Lord and Constance G. Dodge. It includes some genealogy, and a number of poems of Mr. Garland. In case anyone in the Garland family would be interested in this book, I would send it for $9.00 including postage. Thanks for your help in getting this book back to someone who will treasure it. Marge --part1_97.c1b7f29.2720f0f0_boundary--

Hi all, The year anniversary of my participation with all of you is upon us.. and what a year we have had! I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your hard work, dedication and friendship over the last year. I would be very remiss, if I didn't give a special thanks to Tim and to Kelly for basically, well... putting up with me <VBG>, and for all their hard work presenting the WIGenWeb Project State pages, administering lists and working with all of you! And to Holly, who has helped immensely both as mentor to me, as I find my way, and for her help with all of you on HTML and technical issues. With this note, I would like to welcome Edward Black to the list. Ed, in the USGenWeb Project community known as "Mr. List" <g>, and I want to welcome him amongst us, and appreciate his agreement to join all of us, to offer technical assistance with the mailing lists that we all maintain. It has indeed been an incredible year.. we have grown... and you all have indeed all epitomized the goals and mission of the USGenWeb Project. I am very proud of each of you, and you all should be very proud and pleased of the work that you accomplish on your county sites. Keep up the good work! Tina

Greetings earthlings, Thought that you would enjoy reading about a Halloween tradition, that has carried on here in Fond du Lac county for over 100 years. It's neat! http://www.rootsweb.com/~wifonddu/resources/townships/brandon/brandonhalloween.html Tracy

I ran across this the other day in an old Spooner Advocate newspaper (yup, doing my Washburn Co. thing!) This story came from the 1 Sept. 1932 issue. I thought you all would get a real kick out of this. WHISTLING COWS Out in the cow country of Nebraska, Dr. Peter Johanna Christiansen has perfected an invention which seems likely to prove a boon both to cow owners and alfalfa growers. A cow's digestive tract is quite a complicated business, for a cow has four stomachs. But despite the extra equipment with which nature has endowed the cow, her eye is generally bigger than her four stomachs and the result is that bloating, often fatal, sometimes follows a hearty meal on alfalfa. Now Doctor Christiansen has fixed it so that the cows can eat their alfalfa and have their health, too. By means of a perforated cylinder, fitted with a ball valve and spring, inserted into the cow's stomach, bloating is stopped before it starts. The alfalfa gas is allowed to escape -- with a whistling sound -- as rapidly as it forms. The thing works automatically, the valve opening when pressure reaches a given stage. Farmers who have their sleep disturbed by the whistling will at least have the comfort of knowing that man has provided something for his cows which even nature forgot about, and that the "safety valve" is taking care of what might have been a very strenuous night for Bossy. That the invention has infinite possibilities is obvious. By simply blending the notes of the various whistles in his herd, a farmer may have harmonious music to cheer him as he goes about his daily toil. And when the first enterprising Nebraskan organizes the first genuine all-cow whistling choir, his fortune will be made! ++++++++++ Hmmm...I, myself, have never heard a cow whistle here in Wisconsin. But the next time I go to Nebraska, I'll be sure to keep my ears open! Some day I'll have to tell you about the time my grandmother put a wiener up a cow's nose! Have a great weekend everyone! -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net

Hi, Thanks to Nance Sampson for getting me in the correct direction regarding the mailing list. Turns out that the address was already on the accept list afterall. And I have changed each of the boards to reflect YES to send out to the list - but it's not working. I just uploaded 2 queries and they did not get sent to the mailing list. I have received them, personally, because of the way I initially set these boards up. What else needs to be done? Thanks!
