Thanks for your >help. > >Scott Stimpson --------------------- Scott, I checked the Heart of Wisconsin Genealogical Society's Index to Births, Marriages and Deaths in Pre-1907 South Wood Co newspapers held by McMillan Library in Wisc. Rapids for DeWitt's, and found just one citation: DEWITT Mrs. JM, death, in the Wood Co Reporter 16 Sept 1904 , from Necedah (Juneau Co) Heart of Wisconsin Genealogical Society offers a report from the Society's collection of indexes for $10 and an XL SASE, which includes an annual membership and newsletter subscription. Indexes consulted include the pre-1907 Wood Co marriages, Civil War Soldiers, Cemetery, Newspaper and County History Indexes, etc. There are also a number of DeWitt citations on the Adams Co pages that you might like to investigate. The link to that site is in my signature line, below. Best wishes with your project, Joan Coordinator Adams Co. WIGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiadams/adams.htm and Marquette Co.
