I am trying to find out which of the two existing Lutheran Churches in Boscobel might have been - in 1881 - known as the "German Lutheran Church" whose pastor at that time was Friedrich Heuschmann? Would it have been today's St. John Lutheran or Trinity Lutheran? Or, could it be another one which does not exist today? My great-grandparents - George and Caroline JUNGBLUTH Klein - were married by pastor Friedrich Heuschmann on 25 October, 1881. Thanks for any information.

It didn't occur to me earlier to search for Margaret under her middle name, which is how she is listed here. It *does* indicate that she was born in Wisconsin.

Can some one help confirm and would like to know of marriage/marriages of the same Margaret Jane Patterson." LaVon, the 1870 census shows a MARY (not Margaret) Patterson in Wyalusing, but she was born abt 1848, not 1866. There is a MARGARET Patterson in Beetown in 1870, but she was born abt 1859 and her parents are Edmund and Elizabeth from Ireland. There are zero results when searching the 1870 index for a Margaret Patterson b in WI 1864-1868 (none appear in any state) Searching for a Margaret Patterson b in IA 1864-1868 results in one match in Richland, Jones, IA, but the parents are George and Margaret of Ireland. IN all instances I used a wild card search (PAT*R*SON) to pick up "all" instances and spellings. Can we work backward from some known and documented fact? Do you have information about "your" Margaret's siblings, husband, children?

PLATTEVILLE--Miss Frances FOX, daughter of Free FOX, formerly of this city, on a trip around the world spent six months in Japan and China [and] says "In China one adventure was to go 500 miles inland with a return student going after 7 years in America. We made a trip to a family village so far back woods that there was no road, but paths between rice fields, and not one vehicle of any kind except wheelbarrows. I was the only non-Chinese in the party, and no foreigner had been there before. The people gathered by the hundreds to see our procession. The student and I rode horseback, and the villagers couldn't get enough of seeing me make the animal gallop. I think nothing so fast ever happened before in that place. There was much feasting, guns of welcome and firecrackers, and the people were unbelieveably kind to me." Mis FOX's letter was written from the steam ship Edavana in waters off British India between Penang and Rangoon. Miss ... [clipping cut off here]

The number includes about half men, the remainder women and children. The number of persons who have returned of late is very small, probably not one in ten of the number leaving. A number of farms have changed hands at extremely low prices, and houses can be had this spring at low rent. Several families are to start for California from Lancaster the first of coming week, among them Mrs. TEIL, W. H. GRIFFIN, Mrs. MORRISON and James BARNETT, with their families and several men who will go with them.
