FYI - Been out of state, and just now catching up on email so, don't know if this was already passed, but rather you get it twice then not at all. (grin) R/S MAK -----Original Message----- From: Historydocs [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 3:18 PM Subject: Civil War/Genealogy Resources at http://www.wisconsinhistory.org Dear colleague, The Wisconsin Historical Society has two new online research tools to help genealogists research ancestors who served in Wisconsin units during the Civil War. Please feel free to pass on the information below to fellow researchers who moderate email lists or edit newsletters. Feel free to run them in your printed or email newsletter, forward them to your members, or place a link anywhere on a site you maintain. If you want to expand or edit these paragraphs, feel free to visit the web sites below and use any text there that would be helpful. If this message isn't appropriate for your organization, please accept my apologies. I thought the people with whom you communicate might like to learn about these two new online genealogy resources at the Wisconsin Historical Society's Web site http://www.wisconsinhistory.org Best wishes, Michael Edmonds Deputy Director Library/Archives Division Wisconsin Historical Society 608-264-6538 Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865 These online volumes list all soldiers who participated in Wisconsin's Civil War regiments. Known collectively as the Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865, two volumes were compiled in 1886 from archival records and an alphabetical index was published in 1914. Together these 3,000 pages give Civil War service details on about 90,000 Wisconsin soldiers. Search for soldiers by last name and/or regiment and company. Browse this free resource. http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/roster/ Wisconsin Civil War Service Records Once you've found your soldier in the Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, order a photocopy of your Wisconsin ancestor's Civil War service record. For most soldiers these records show soldier name, rank, age and birthplace; hair and eye color, complexion, height, occupation, and residence; when, where, and by whom enlisted; term of service; place where the enlistment was credited; and date and manner of termination of service. A special "remarks" sections lists promotions, special duties, leaves of absence, engagements, injuries, and, if the soldier died in service, date and place of death and sometimes place of burial. Fees apply. Note: these are not National Archives pension records. http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/genealogy/ogrs/ ===== =========================== MAK = "Mar sea ah Ann Keel" Marcia Ann Kuehl =========================== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

G. L. PARK, held in the city of Stevens Point, Sunday June 8th, 1884 A small handbill was issued in this city last Saturday morning by members of A. F. & A. M. order announcing that a special train would leave the Green Bay, Winona & St. Paul Railroad depot at 10 o’clock a.m. Sabbath morning, for Stevens Point, to accomodate all those desiring to attend the funeral services of the late Hon. G. L. PARK on that day. A large number of our citizens improved the opportunity. Judge PARK was universally known throughout Wood County and esteemed by all. The coaches were filled, consisting of Free Masons, their wives and friends who desired to show their appreciation of one who had gone on before to his eternal home. The party arrived safely and were well provided for at the different hotels in the city. A special train from Wausau brought many of Judge Park’s admirers, also a special on the Wisconsin Central from Waupaca, Auburndale and other points along the line. The farmers from throughout Portage county were there in large numbers to pay their last respects to him whom they dearly loved. The city was filled with his admirers all anxious to do him honor. Before the hour had arrived for the funeral services to commence it began to rain and continued all the afternoon. Those having the ceremonies in charge decided to procced with them and did. Few of the large concourse of people were provided for a rain storm and consequently many were drenched. The ceremonies were carried on by the Knights Templars and would have been very impressive had the weather permitted. As it was the ceremonies were cut short and proved un-interesting. About 100 Knight Templars were present and 150 Master Masons, say nothing of the mass of citizens on foot and in carriages. This was presumably the largest gathering of the kind held in Stevens Point or vicinity. The universal disappointment on account of the rain storm was thoroughly regretted by Judge Park’s relatives and friends, but was unavoidable...
