OPPELT

DWIEL — 31 Aug 2002 12:32:01 GMT

I am looking for any information on Helen OPPELT, born to Harry Glenwood OPPELT and Nettie KRUGER OPPELT on Dec. 15, 1902 in Belle Plaine, Benton Co. Iowa. At the time of her birth she had one living brother, Norman OPPELT born May 02, 1900 also in Belle Plaine, Benton Co. Iowa. Her sister Ruth OPPELT was also born in Belle Plaine on Sep. 21, 1903. Some time between 1903 and 1909 the family moved to DeWitt, Clinton Co. Iowa where Laurence OPPELT, my wife's father was born on Aug 30, 1909. His birth record indicates only 2 living siblings at the time of his birth. I have been unsuccessful finding any records of Helen after her birth. My wife cannot recall any mention of Helen during her childhood. We have the death records and grave sites of Norman, Ruth and Laurence but cannot find any records of Helen other than her birth record. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Pic of St. Mary's high school, and question

jgl1959 — 6 Nov 2008 2:43:39 GMT

Hi,

First, the question. Was there a K-8 Catholic school associated with St. Mary's high school?

Secondly, I am trying to get ahold of a pic of St. Mary's high school. If you could e-mail a jpeg or other computer file to joseph_leahy@yahoo.com, I'd appreciate it!
If there was a separate K-8 Catholic school, and you have a pic of that, would love to see that, too.

Friends of Phil L., please do not pass the message to him.

Thanks,

Joe

Death Record: Eliza Short 1814-1883

dianneslipkid — 27 Aug 2008 10:05:17 GMT

Looking for a death certificate, if available, for Eliza Short (nee Higgins), b. 5 Oct, 1814, Trenton,NJ, d. 1883, Clinton, IA.

Eliza married Ira Short in NY state in 1830, and lived in Albany, IL for most of her adult life. Was living with her youngest child, Anna Woodbury in Clinton, IA at the time of her death in 1883. She was buried in Garden Plain cemetery, IL.

No records are available on Ira Short (missing, presumed murdered on a trip west to Pike's Peak in 1863), so Eliza's records are the only documents that might be available.

Thank You,

Emmigrated to Clinton, Co., IA in 1854 from Fleckeby, Schleswig, Germany.

She is found in the 1856 IA Census and the 1860 US Census. (Search for next-door-neighbor John DOYLE Abt 1821, because VOLLBEHR is badly mangled by non-German speaking census takers.)

I am doing pretty well with her siblings, but I do not have any leads on her going forward. Does anyone have something to contribute?

HARRIETT J. KILLEAN

Dan O'Brien — 12 Dec 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Our family has been the beneficiary of Harriett J. Killean who was married to John or Jack Killean of Clinton, IA. Oddly (shamefully?), we know nothing about Harriet and why my dad and his brother and sisters have been getting a check in the mail since around 1962. My dad thought my grandfather, a stockbroker for a while, (JC O'Brien Chicago/Detroit b 1895, d. 1968) helped her with investments and the token trust was a thank you. My aunt (b. 1925) seems to think there might've been a family connection through my grandmother's maternal side (BINGHAMs and McGUIREs) -- families of status and wealth. Anybody know anything about the KILLEANs of Clinton, IA?

GRUSENDORF

Robert E. Martin — 17 Aug 1999 12:00:00 GMT

The LDS genealogy web site lists a number of GRUSENDORF individuals who were born and/or married @ Lyons in Clinton Co., IA. I assume these individuals descended from other Grusendorf individuals who were born @ Westenholz, Hannover, Prussia. My wife's gg grandfather, Andreas GRUSSENDORF, and several of his children immigrated to America (Galveston, TX) from Gifhorn, Hannover, Prussia during the 1845-1850 time period. Several of Andreas GRUSSENDORF's descendants are also listed on the LDS genealogy web site. Would like to determine relationship between the Iowa GRUSENDORF clan and the Texas GRUSENDORF clan.

Springdale Cemetery & Obituaries

DonnaDC — 1 Jun 2008 1:17:51 GMT

I'm not sure where I got this information about my grandfather's cousins and uncle, but I would like to know if other Petersons are buried near them, especially Otto and Carl. Also, the death date for Andrew must be before 1900 because by then his wife was a widow, and he is not listed on the census. The information I have showed him dying in 1905.

Peterson, Andrew L. 3 - 1 - 18??
Ingrid 5 - 30 - 1914
Linnea A. 9 - 29 - 1935
Edward W. 12 - 9 - 1952

What would be the best way to obtain obituaries for them?

I live in Maryland. I think that Linnea and Edward never married, but perhaps their brothers Carl and Otto did. Maybe the obituaries will tell me if I have living relatives from them.

Ira & Avis Gardner in Spring Rock twp 1850 & 1860

myname2k2 — 11 Oct 2003 2:42:43 GMT

I see by Census records that Ira & Avis Gardner and family lived in Spring Rock twp, Clinton County, IA. I know that they later moved to the Dakotas, but can not nail down where they came from. In the 1850 census it is listed that their childern were born in PA. I found an Ira Gardner in the 1840 census of Exeter twp, Luzerne County, PA, but am not sure that this is the right Ira. If anyone can help me, I would be most grateful.

Rebecca Bunce, born in 1871 in Clinton County, Iowa was my great-grandmother. I'm looking for any information you may have about her. I know her descendent info, nut have not found ancestry records, such as name of her father and mother, and ethnicity. Her daughter, Erma Irene Renslow was my grandmother. Erma was born July 4, 1900, and had no birth certificate, but the midwife who attended her birth later testified to the accuracy of her birth information. Rebecca Bunce was married to William Renslow

I will appreciate hearing from others who have researched the Bunce/Renslow line.

Thanks,

Could someone check and tell me what is listed in the Clinton County deaths about her.
This would be much appreciated. Thanks.

One last question for Thoraway

jgl1959 — 11 Oct 2007 12:34:12 GMT

Just had a chance to look at the baptismal register - wow! That's my Martin for sure. Also explains the relationships of the other Eliasens in Clinton, Iowa. I will gladly read the information you have and begin doing my own search of the Norwegian records, but since this is such an important document for me I wanted to ask your opinion on one of the columns. In the 6th column, which lists the parents, I am having a difficult time deciphering the handwriting - this is what I have:

(something) Rasmus
Eliassen (something) (something)
Jeorgine Olafsdatter?

Can you read the words I couldn't decipher? Also, I don't know if last word is Olafsdatter or Olesdatter.

This will be my last question for you - promise!

Thanks again!
