In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Sixth New York Infantry. Being placed in the Army of the Potomac, he participated in the battles of the Wilderness and in many minor engagements. In April, 1865, he was in the charge at Petersburg. He was never wounded, although he had two very narrow escapes, one ball knocking an ear-ring out and another striking the “U.S.” on his cartridge box, with force enough to stagger him. In all he was in seventeen engagements. Was laid up in the hospital only by rheumatism one winter. He was mustered out on the last of June, 1865. A year or so later he came West, and immediately located on a farm in the town of York, which was then a part of the town of Weston, in Clark County. He has since been engaged in farming, until about a year ago, when he became a resident of Wood County, just over the line, still retaining an interest in lands in Clark County. He has been married twice; first, to Miss Rodella WINNIE, August 9, 1862, and subsequently to Mrs Sevilla L WILLIAMS, nee PECK, January 2, 1880. By her former marriage she had three children: George P., born December 5, 1852; Frank H., February 8, 1868; and May A., March 9, 1873. The eldest son is married and lives on a farm in Clark County, and the second son is living with him. The daughter is a member of the household of Mr and Mrs HEATH. Mrs HEATH's first husband was in Company M, first Wisconsin Heavy Artillery, and served eleven months, to the close of the war. Mr HEATH is a pensioner, and Mrs HEATH is entitled to arrears pension for his dependent children, and is taking steps to secure it.

Their last server is thought to have dumped them after receiving numerous spam complaints. This company is thought to go to Gen sites of all kinds and pick the e-mail address off them to use for spam mailings of the $49.00 "service". In their spam, they say that another Gen site has suggested that they contact the recipient, when the original gen site does not even know it has been used for the addresses. Please consider encoding the e-mail addresses on sites into the name so they can not be easily picked off the pages. It means an extra "click" for visitors but the spammer's programs only "see" a name and no addresses to pick up. Here is the latest followed by a summery of recent events for anyone who wants a quick update on the matter. It looks like the fictitious Family Discovery genealogy service has moved to Prodigy now. I contacted Prodigy this morning and they have asked that anyone who receives solicitation email from familydiscovery.com to take the following steps immediately: 1) Forward the entire Family Discovery message to: abuse@prodigy.com 2) Include the following information (most of which was provided by Rita from the Oconto County, WI list): Please note that the attached message is now being sent through your ISP service. They have been reported to various State Attorney General's Office on computer fraud, but it is hard to catch up with them. Originally the "company" linked to free information sites and placed the pages in "frames" so that it looked like it was their own work. Customers paid for that information. The scam, now, is paying for the free information links and then they "move" frequently and leave their paid-up customers without services. 3) Post these same instructions on any other lists today so that Prodigy has a better chance of finding the spammers.

If you'd like hard copies, send a SASE to the Library at the address shown in my signature below--would appreciate in the next few days so the copies don't get buried on my desk too deep. I have printed them off--six pages altogether. The Library has no formal research fee schedule, but donations are appreciated and helps our collections and services. We're all adults here; you know what it's worth to you:) And finally, a shameless pitch for the library. We don't want to put anyone out of business or out of sorts, but we can help with well-focused research requests like this one. Just remember that if you want hard copies we need a written request for the info, even after we've verified its existence electonically.

can someone do a census look up for me? our lds library does not have this info. Rock, Wood co, Wisconsin 1910 Vroman, James Myers, wife Harriet would like information on all people listed in the household. A copy of the page would be wonderful. I'll pay for postage, copies. (in fact any Vroman in this township would be great!) Thanks for any help, Diana
