I assumed the same thing. Everything about Victory showed Monroe Co. Thank you I appreciate the info. But I think I had better still check Sparta as well as Marathon County. Again thanks so very much. Is Marathon close to Monroe? Victory purchased land and was on the census in Monroe. Thank all of you for your replies. Judy ps--does Sparta have anyone that does lookups? I think Victory died between 1860 and 1870. Would love to find an obit, cemetery record, or death record. Actually would love to fnd anything on him. Thanks again.

I assumed that the daughters of Victory Peters were married in Monroe County. However, I just looked at the map and Spencer is in Marathon County whose county seat is Wausau, I believe. The records would be in the county clerk's office there.

Hello Judy, Spencer, where???? IA,WI, MN,IN,OK????

You should be able to find marriage records in the Office of the County Clerk in Sparta, Monroe, Wisconsin. The people in that office are very helpful. I don't recall what the fee is for a search and copy.

Hello Bonnie We will be going to Tomah, Monroe County, WI in the middle of August and plan to check the newspaper microfilm for some more of my relatives. I would be happy to look up the obituary you are seeking for Edith (Johnston) Alexander. Please let me know, however, if someone else has been able to do this for you before I am able to.

Just came across a Western Union telegram dated 27 Dec 1928 in my grandmothers papers. It says "Mother just died of flu burial probably at Warrens" The deceased was Edith (Johnston) Alexander who was born in Warrens, WI in 1869. Does anyone in Monroe County have easy access to the newspaper film for 1928? I would love a copy of her obituary... ...Or a cemetery index to confirm that she is buried in the Warrens cemetery? Appreciate your help :) Bonnie -- Bonnie (Gallagher) Gilson, Phoenix, AZ, USA mailto:[email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bgilson/ ~ RootsWeb Donor ~

Thanks for the date this school started. My people left the area in 1870-75, when they were all in Marshall, MN. I know they took another family member's baby with them, so they probably did not leave any others there. Susanne

Susanne The State School for Dependant Children began in 1885. If you have a question about a child who went there, please contact us at the History Room.

It was called "the State school" as it was run by the State of WI. It is now closed. You may want to contact Audrey Johnson at the "Monroe County Local History Room at [email protected] She is a lovely lady and should be able to answer your questions. I understand that there is a cemetery there for those who died there. John C.

I'm seeking childrens' name list for an orphanage/school which was supposed to exist in Sparta, Monroe Co WI in 1890s. My g grandmother stated in a 1893 newspaper story in LaCrosse that she was putting her two sons (including my grandfather) into such a 'home' in Sparta, because she was leaving her husband who 'beat' her. Any information on this institution in Sparta is welcome. Ken Nordtvedt

Eric, There were many more reasons why children were placed in the Child Center in Sparta. Please see my web page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sbosmans/monroeco/sparta/sparta.html Shari Wisconsin, USA

For many years, the State of Wisconsin operated a home for children in Sparta, Wisconsin. It was known locally as the Child Center. Many children from throughout Wisconsin lived there because they were removed from their homes or because they were orphans. The Home closed about 30 years ago and all the records were transferred to the State Historical Society in Madison. A local group recently put markers on all the graves of the children who died while living there. I have recently transcribed the cemetery listings. The listing includes the names of the children buried there and a number. The number is linked to the location of the grave within the cemetery. There are no dates included. To see the listing, please go to my home page at http://members.tripod.com/~Eric_Borreson/index.html If you wish to add a link to this page, please use the following: http://members.tripod.com/~Eric_Borreson/index.html#cemetery Eric -- *********************************************************************** The way to pay back a kindness is with honesty and integrity in all your work and to help someone else when you can.

Hi all, I'll be traveling to Tomah this summer and while there I will be doing a look up at St. Mary's cemetery in Tomah for a genealogy friend. My ancestors are buried at Oak Grove so I'm familiar with the cemetery and I already have a map showing the St. Mary's portion. I'll be looking for the grave of "Josephine HANCHEL (1828-1921)"...I believe Marie Drescher has the cemetery records but I don't know if she is on this list. Can anyone tell me what row I would find this grave in or maybe the name on a large monument nearby to help me find it? Appreciate any help :) Best wishes, Bonnie -- Bonnie (Gallagher) Gilson, Phoenix, AZ, USA mailto:[email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bgilson/ ~ RootsWeb Donor ~

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Let's give it to them! Brenda Am sending this on for your info. Please read all info It contains important changes in the NARA way of doing business and changes in fees and forms. Forwarded message: The NARA proposal to revamp the system and fees for providing copies of Military Service Records, Bounty-Land Warrant Applications Files, and Pension Application Files has been published in the 25 April 2000 issue of the Federal Register. Public comment is invited and should be directed to NARA Regulation Comment Desk 8601 Adelphi Road College Park, MD 20740-6001 Fax: 301 713-7270 The comment period closes on 26 June 2000. NARA prefers that you use either the postal address or fax number to submit our comments rather than e-mail. A complete copy of the Federal Register notice is available from the NARA Web site at http://www.nara.gov/nara/fees-pro.html. The proposed Reproduction Fee Schedule covers a number of items, but the Military Service Records, and the Pension and Bounty-Land Warrants are of the greatest concern to genealogists. NARA proposes three major changes: 1. The NATF Form 80 would be discontinued, to be replaced by two new forms: NATF Form 85 to request both Bounty-Land Warrant application files and Pension files (more than 75 years old), and NATF From 86 to request Military Service Records (more than 75 years old). 2. For all three types of files, NARA would no longer send a selection of pages, but would send the complete file. This would eliminate the two-step process currently used and should be beneficial to most genealogists. 3. The fees for all three types of files would be raised. For Military Service Records the new fee would be $17.00, regardless of the number of pages included in the file. For Bounty-land Warrants the fee would be $17.25, again without regard to the number of pages. For Pension Files the fee would be $40.00, regardless of the number of pages. Finally, the proposal would go into effect on 1 September 2000, if approved. Many genealogists may consider the proposed fees to be excessive. NARA specifically invites comment on the proposed fee schedule. The FGS/NGS Records Preservation and Access Committee urges everyone who wants to comment to carefully read the full proposal before submitting comments. The proposed fees are intended to cover the actual cost of locating, copying and mailing the records, plus 10% as authorized by law, and are based on the average size of the files. NARA states that the average for Military Service Records and Bounty-land Applications is somewhere under 20 pages, while the average for full Pension Files is 105 pages. The FGS/NGS Records Preservation and Access Committee will be looking at the NARA proposal carefully, and will submit comments as appropriate. Individuals who would like to provide input to the Committee's evaluation are welcome to do so but are also encouraged to comment direct to NARA at the address given above. Comments for Committee consideration should be e-mailed to <center>[email protected], or mailed to </c> Federation of Genealogical Societies, Attention: RPAC, PO Box 200940, Austin, TX 78720-0940. In order for the Records Preservation and Access Committee to adequately evaluate such input it must be received by 26 May 2000. The deadline for comment to NARA, however, is still 26 June 2000. Posting of this message to other mail lists is encouraged. A copy of this message will also be available on the Records Preservation and Access page of the FGS Web site http://www.fgs.org/fgs-recordsnews.htm> and on the NGS Web site <http://www.ngsgenealogy.org> We need to do this.. to much of our history is in military records, pension records or bounty records.. Copy the mail above and send to the address.. with signature Thanks for helping to save monies on our 'tax paid dollars at work' Brenda K.
