Just want to take a quick moment and thank all of you who had my brother Randy and our family on your prayer list... Miracles can and do happen when you believe. I put my trust in god and asked all of you to pray with me. Well, today when I called the hospital, Randy was in his own room and got to briefly talk to me on the phone. While he still has double pneumonia, and not out of the woods, I am happy to report, that the doctors predictions were greatly in the WRONG. Not only is he out of the coma, but the severe brain damage that was predicted if he survived was not readily evident in our brief conversation.. A week ago, when my brother went in a coma, there was little hope, and today, I got my brother back. He still has weeks to go in the hospital and then to a group home, as his diabetic condition needs constant monitoring, but the relief is tremendous. Again, Thanks for caring, it really made a difference in my life, R/S MAK __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Messenger - Talk while you surf!

However, the dam at this site is called Merrill's Dam in notes to sec 36, in Surv,T22N,R5E. One of these dams-evidently the larger, called Clinton's Dam or Clint's Dam for its builder, Henry Clinton-remained to become the foundation for the Port Edwards Dam.

A symbolic name. Columbia School A school in SE sec 8, T21N, R6E (Saratoga Township). A symbolic name.

Tradition maintains that the name Centralia was suggested by Henry W Jackson, the first postmaster of Centralia PO. Although it may be conjectured that Jackson took the name from the US Postal Guide (in the 1855 edition of which postoffices for Centralia, Illinois, and Centralia, Iowa, are listed for the first time), his source is not actually known. Centralia was incorporated as a cityin 1874, but in 1900 it combined with the city of Grand Rapids to form a new city under the name Grand Rapids. "Centralia" now denotes the South Side. Centralia Dam A dam on the Wisconsin R at sec 24,T22N, R5E, in Wisconsin Rapids, built in three sections in the latter part of 1887 by the Centralia Pulp and Water Power Co, it extends from either bank of the river to two islands, Long Is and Middle Is and across the center of the river between these islands.

Chicago, Milwaukee, and St Paul Railroad See Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul and Pacific Railroad. Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul and Pacific Railroad A railroad in Wood Co with tracks running N to Babcock, E from Babcock to Port Edwards, and N through Wisconsin Rapids and Rudolph. As the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St Paul RR, it purchased most of this trackage (as well as a now abandoned section which ran SW from Babcock) from the Wisconsin Valley RR on Oct 19,1880. It acquired the section running N to Babcock from the Lisbon, Necedah, and Lake Superior Ry on June 30, 1891. On the same day it obtained tracks from Babcock to Arpin and Pittsville and through Dexterville to Lindsey in the purchase of the Wisconsin, Pittsville, and Superior Ry and the Milwaukee, Dexterville, and Northern Ry. However, the tracks to Pittsville and Arpin were abandoned above Pittsville Jct in 1918, and those through Dexterville to Lindsey were abandoned between 1931 and 1933. The tracks running SW from Babcock were abandoned in 1934. On March 31, 1927, the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St Paul RR became the Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul, and Pacific RR.

Bun-gah-je-wim The Chippewa name for the Whitney Rapids. It si thought to mean "end of the rapids". According to an authoritative source, Chippewa bon or boni in compound words signifies "the end of something." Also,an element spelled -djiwan (possibly corresponding to je-wim or je-wung) appears in the Chipewa words kijidjiwan, "there is a rapids," and nawadjiwan, "a rapids in the middle of a river." Hence the traditional interpretation, "end of the rapids" is probably accurate. Burndt Ground Camp Site An Indian camp site in SE sec 28, Rudolph Township. In early Wood Co days this was the only cleared space along the Wisconsin R for many miles and hence became a rendezvous for Indians engaged in fur trading. Also called the Burnt Grounds. Burnt Grounds See Burnt Ground Camp Site C S Vedder's Addition A subdivision of Marshfield.

I want to thank you all for all of the VERY positive responses. Many of the mail list administrators have stated it is all right to continue to post the reminders I am choosing not too. I did not solely join the county mail lists to place a weekly reminder on them. I felt I could contribute to others research not only by having a gathering place (weekly chat), but I have also answered many questions for many different researchers on the various county mail lists. I was hoping to help others. Should anyone need information on the Wisconsin Genealogy weekly chat-I have this information posted on the Waupaca County Website at the following address http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaupac/index.htm. I will will continue to post chat reminders on the Waupaca County mail list, WauShaOcon Mail List and Wisconsin Mail List. Hope you all break through those brick walls and find those lost ancestors-have a great week!

Greetings from Seattle. 1st post to this list. Someone said there are a lot of GARDNER and MANNING families in Wood County, WI. The cities we have in our histories include Algoma, Mosinee, Oshkosh and Wassau. My bet is that the GARDNER family of WI is well documented but I need help figuring out where to search. thanks georgeann Have you tried a rootsweb search of the county boards? This would pick up the queries and posted obits, searchable by surnames. There were lots of GARDNER posts. You can reach the link many ways, but here is one: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiadams/adams.htm I recently posted an obit for Oliver Gardner on the Adams Co WI board.
