Good morning everyone - I just uploaded some new URL's to my county pages. One is a site with over 800 search engines on it. <A HREF="http://www.beaucoup.com/engbig.html"> Search Engines -- Beaucoup, The BIG Page (wit...</A> This is a page for the Marathon County Public Library on-line catalog. <A HREF="http://www.mcpl.lib.wi.us/">Marathon County Wisconsin - Public Library</A> This is for the on-line catalog for all the Wis. libraries. <A HREF="http://wiscat.brodart.com/"> Wiscat On-Line Catalog</A> And this is for the State Historical Society of WI on line catalog. <A HREF="http://www.library.wisc.edu/">University of Wisconsin-Madison Electronic Li...</A> You might wonder why these are important - and so did I until I went to a Marathon County Gen. Soc. meeting last night - where the speaker showed us how wonderful these catalogs can be. I myself have gone to the State His. Soc. and had not the faintest clue about how to find what I was looking for. Now I can access the catalog at home, and search for my subject, and find out exactly where it is located. (For example, if I wanted to find the books for Massachusetts Revolutionary War soldiers - I would access it under subject) (Saves valuable time down at Madison!) The Wis sites can also be used to see what library has which books - possibly for inter-library loans. The search engine site is great for looking up gen. resources - and each one uses different criteria - so if you are entering a surname or specific site, try several - you'll get different results.

Hello everyone! These are more ancestors of mine, again, with little information. The easiest thing I can do here is post excerpts from a letter that was sent to me. It was not to me, but it pertained to my line and another family member had sent it. If anyone recognizes any of these people and is willing to help me fill in gaps it would mean the world to me. Thanks so much! (The letter was written by CHARLES H. CLARK, my 2nd cousin twice removed; March 30, 1996) I have written to him, but as of yet, have not recieved a response) ----Wendy STILLMAN ELLIS and wife HENRIETTA STILLMAN died in 1914 and his wife in 1889. I believe that they are both buried in Plainfield, WI. STLLMAN had roots and origins in Plainfield, WI, as it looks according to the letter. STILLMAN and HENRIETTA had a daughter, also named HENRIETTA. >From the letter now: "Their daughter, also HENRIETTA, married JOSEPH ALONZO JANES in 1868, probably living at or near Pine Grove Twp., Portage County. HENRIETTA was born at Pine Grove Twp. in 1852. JOSEPH JANES was born in Calicoon, NY in 1845, a descendant of old Massachusettes families, probably of the Mayflower. It might be noted that the old english yankees and just plain english were the first agrarians to settle much of Wisconsin. I believe JOSEPH and HENRIETTA came to Clark County about 1872-3, homestaeding along now WI 73. My father, who was more than a little talented in some history and humorous relatings, told me that JOSEPH ALONZO JANES walked from there to the land office in La Crosse Wi to file his claim to homestead. I still have some documents, including the original filing and the "Land Patent" granted when the homestead was proved up. The latter isued in 1878, by Rutherford B. Hayes, but signed by his "secretary" for him. Knowing the family and the times I find that this quite likely to be true.. JOSEPH and HENRIETTA had seven children, the first two of which died in infancy, both boys. They were followed by another son, two girls, another son, and a third daughter. STILLMAN S. 1869, HENRY A. 1870, EDWARD L. 1872, NELLIE H. 1874, SARAH M. 1877, DAVID F. 1879, FLORA E. 1884. I believe the first two were buried near Plainfield before they moved to the Sherwood homestead. The last four were born at Sherwood and all obtained some good or substantial age. Besides HENRIETTA and JOSEPH JANES, only two of the family were buried at Sherwood. They are NELLIE JANES ZIEMENDORF, wife of FRED ZIEMENDORF, also buried Sherwood, and FLORA JANES who never married and is buried near her mother and father. I know little of EDWARD L. JANES, except I believe, he lived out his later years in Michigan, and as my grandmother outlived them she lost touch with his descendant's one by one. DAVID JANES married SYLVIA SPARKS. DAVID had 5 children. Three were girls, only one surviving in Chicago. DAVIDS boys did not reproduce, so the JANES name died on that branch. SARA MARIAH JANES 1877, married JOHN WESLEY CLARK, son of JAMES and SARAFINA MUELLER CLARK. JOHN and his family came from Gays Mills in Crawford County. JOHN was an older man, and the relationship was frowned upon by SARAH's family. JOHN and SARA eloped. JOHN and SARA had two children, CHARLES DEWEY in 1898, and MABLE 1900 ?. CHARLES DEWEY was born 16 Feb. 1898 and was simply named CHARLES. On 15 Feb., the Battleship Maine exploded in Havana Harbor in Cuba, then a Spanish possession. The incident provided the excuse for the start of the Spanish-American War. In the course of a few weeks ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY became a national hero by trouncing the Spanish Fleet at Manilla Bay, the Phillipine Islands. By the time JOHN and SARA got around to registerring the birth at the Clark Co. Cout\rthouse in Neillsville, WI., the name DEWEY was inserted as the second name. Ever after, he would be called, primarily, by family and friends, "DEWEY". In later years as nit picking legal matters increased he was inclined to use the name CHARLES in circles other than family. The JAMES CLARK and JOHN CLARK families decamped Sherwood area in 1913 to establish homesteads in Dunn Co., western North Dakota. There they struggled the necessary years to prove up the homesteads and after a harvest of 50 acres of wheat in 1918, which yielded about 50 bushels total, they gave it up and returned to WI. The daughter MABLE CLARK married in North Dakota before they returned to WI.. (There is a little talk about returning back to a description of land in Wood/Clark Co.) It was at about the point where the curve starts breaking to go north that a saw mill of some stature was established by another Sherwood family, the D.L. PICKERINGs. DAVE PICKERING, the owner was a contemporary of SARAH JANES, he two apparently attended the same school as it was in Sherwood at that time, circa 1884-1892. An autograph book, the likes of which were popular over many years, contained an entry of DAVE PICKERING in SARAH'S book. The PICKERINGS decamped Sherwood for the town of Marshall, near Sheldon, in Rusk Co., at some point i time near when the CLARKS left for North Dakota, 1913 or ?. When the CLARK families returned from North Dakota of November of 1918, they went to the PICKERING homestaed and sawmill in Marshall Twp., about 2 miles from Sheldon. I am not certain that the senior JAMES CLARKS came to Sheldon at that time as JAMES later died in Gay Mills and was buried there in 1925, SERAPHINA (?) died at Sheldon circa 1929 and my father trucked her coffin to Gays Mils for burial. At this point I digress a litle. When the JOHN CLARKS lefttheir homestaed in North Dakota, they loaded their meager goods, two work horses and a farm wagon into a boxcar for the journey of a couple of days. Either JAMES or JOHN had a sister, then living in Cumberland, WI., and that is where they debarked the rail cars. The remainer of the trip to Rusk Co., was done with the horses and makeshift covered wagon, over a distance of about 75 miles. My father tells that they stopped over in Ladysmith for rest and while there they went into "Bon Ton", where he spied a young lass who he would pursue for near all of the next 5 years. That and their arrivial at PICKERING place near Sheldon, took place on Thanksgiving Day 1819. My mother, ELSA MARIE DIETZE, was born in Stetsonville, WI., on 22 December 1898." There is some more history, but no names of any mention and nothing else that would really add to this. If this rings anyones bell..please, please contact me..I'd really like to follow this and expand. HENRIETTA ELLIS JANES would have been my ggg grandmother I believe.

I hope you all don't mind my sharing some of my e-mail with you. This is one of the more fascinating letters I got today.

Hi all, I am begining the search for my girlfriend family. We are currently looking for the following names, mostly around Tomahawk. I would appreciate any information you may have regarding these surnames. Arneson, Bartz, Busche, Callahan, Egelkrout, Likwartz, Salveson, Schoone, Steinhafel and Tafelski Thank you in advance for any info you may be able to provide. Kevin

Howdy! Still looking for some help with obtaining a copy of obit on my cousin, JOHN DERRINGER, who died in Tomahawk, Wi. Did find a death year and month, but no day as of yet. He died Oct 1967. (social security death records) zip code:54487 Just got off the phone with courthouse in Merrill, outcome: "if ya want ANY info at all from us, ya gotta pay for it". Well, I don't really need a death cert. I only want a copy of his obit & cemetery name he is buried in. If this doesn't work, then I will opt for the death cert. Almost forgot! He had a brother in law die in the same town but is buried in Chicago, his name was HOMER LAKE, died Sept 1968, same deal, no death day. Would like a copy of his obit too if possible. Thanks for any help anyone is willing to give, will gladly pay for copy & postage & reasonable rate for time. Jerry Derringer Nashville, Indiana
