Re: Clarno South Dakota

francene_grewe — 2013-01-26 04:46:31Z

I was curious about Clarno as well. I noticed one of my ancestors, Miles Alonso Moser moved to Clarno, SD from Monroe Wisconsin, where he was working for a Harrison Clarno. The coincidence seems unlikely - and I thought behalf my ancestor was following someone he respected.

Birth18527 DecMauch Chunk, Carbon, Pennsylvania, United States Miles was born Dec 7, 1852, according to family Bible in or near Mauch Chunk

Emigration1856-1862— Age: 4Pennsylvania, USA to Oneco, Stephenson County, IL Miles emigrated with his parents. They settled near Oneco; and could have lived near Rock Grove. In 1870's, they lived in Green County, Wic.

Occupation1864— Age: 12Clarno wisconsin While his father was serving in the Civil War, Miles was working for Harrison Clarno as a farm hand
....1917— Age: 65Lake County, South Dakota, USA Miles moved to the Winfred and Madison areas in Lake County, SD, where he lived with his nephew, Nathan Corning. Miles worked for Nathan on his farm in exchange for room and board.

Hello,
I am looking for information on the family of Arthur Alphonsus Molumby and his wife Mary (Duscheng) Molumby who I believe lived in or near Madison in Lake County, South Dakota.
I believe they had 10 children, some died as infants.

Children:

Blanche Josephine,

James Clarence,

Mary Edna,

Frances,

Zita Irene,

Virginia,

Lucille,

John Nicholas,

and two unknown

My great great grandmother was Clara (Duscheng)DeMuth, she would have be an aunt of Mary (Duscheng) Molumby!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, Keith Lawrence

I am looking for any information on William Wilson Stetler. He died in Madison, South Dakota on December 19, 1918. He was born in Indiana in 1849. An obituary would be amazing but I am not sure how to find it.

Hi,

South Dakota doesn't publish birth information until 100 years after the birth.

You MIGHT be able to order a copy of his birth certificate from the Health Department, http://doh.sd.gov/VitalRecords/genealogy.aspx. You'll find the instructions at their web site. Successful Searching!

birth info - Lyle Wood

hinshaw77a — 2012-05-13 17:44:58Z

Hi, hoping someone might be able to help me find birth info for Lyle Wood who was born 1918-1919, possibly Lake county, to Albert L Wood and maybe Minnie Anderson. Not certain about the mother's name. Albert and Minnie were married in Lake County on 7-19-1918.

He was raised by his aunt in Kingfisher OK and was listed there in 1920 census. His marriage announcement names his father as A L Wood and his mother, Rosa Rasp. BUT Rosa is his aunt - the one who raised him.

Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone might have.

joodybos — 2012-05-12 20:03:25Z

Charli...Thanks for checking the book. My grandparents were in Wentworth 1923-1933. They sold the farm and moved to Iowa to farm the remainder of their lives. My folks have visited the Wentworth area before they passed, but I haven't. I do have a pottery-type mixing bowl with the date 1883 I believe, stamped on it, an advertising bowl from Zimmerman Store, so my grandmother probably shopped there, when they were in the area. They did not live there in 1883, so I imagine that's when the store was originated.

My grandparents neighbors were Maasdam's (Dutch family). I have a photo of the Maasdam family farming east of Wentworth on some old equipment back in the old days and a photo of the Maasdam kids. They also moved to Iowa in later years. That's the only names I know in the Wentworth area. Thanks again!

Hi Judy, the book is 1881 - 1981.

Re: OBIT of August Abraham, Wentworth, Lake, SD

Hi, have you tried the Karl Mundt library. they have a collection of Obituaries, and/or maybe able to tell you how to contact the Madison paper archives.
I see that he is buried in the Rosehill Cemetery but no maiden name on his wife.
I am from there and have family in the Rosehill Cemetery. Do you have the Wentworth Centenial book? There is an article on Mr. & Mrs. August Abraham,(Jr) said he moved to Wentworth with his parents August Sr. and Caroline. Sorry no last name.
Have you looked at any of the trees on Ancestry?
Wish I could be more help, Charli

OBIT of August Abraham, Wentworth, Lake, SD

loisarlene2001 — 2012-05-08 23:57:09Z

August Abraham died 18 March 1894 in Wentworth, Lake, SD. He is buried in Rosehill Cemetery, Wentworth. He and his family were members of the St. Peters Luthern Church, Wentworth. I can find only confirmation records there. He and his family arrived in Wentworth around 1882/1883.

I am hoping an obituary wil give more information about his marriage to Caroline Loeck/Luek/Losch in Villnow, Pomerania, Germany and other information. August was from Grunewald, Pomerania.

Would there be newspapers (perhaps in German) published in this area at this time and where I might find this?

Thanks. Lois

Re: Obituary lookup?

DanOlson83 — 2012-05-02 19:12:07Z

It's possible. My ancestor was Lars Olson, who died in 1914 on what is now the Scott Stratton farm, not far from the cemetery. His son Ole (and wife Anna) lived on that farm too, Ole dying there in 1941. They are all buried in the cemetery.

Re: Obituary lookup?

barbjek — 2012-05-02 18:49:55Z

You're welcome. I just remembered that my mom, who grew up 1 1/2 miles from Lake Madison cemetery, talked about some Olson neighbors. Perhaps they were your relatives. Mrs. Olson was one of the neighbor women who helped her feed threshers after her mother died. My mother was only 11 and with her sister, was keeping house for 3 older brothers and her father.

Re: Obituary lookup?

DanOlson83 — 2012-05-02 15:11:40Z

hi Barb - yes, someone looked that up for me. I think there are photos on findagrave.com, so I won't need those either. Thanks for your offer though ! :)

Re: Obituary lookup?

barbjek — 2012-05-02 14:49:07Z

Have you been able to find the obit? If not, I will be at the Karl Mundt library next week looking up obits for my family. I would be happy to find yours.

Also, I will be visiting the Lake Madison cemetery and could take pictures for you if I can find the graves.

Thanks very much for your comments and suggestions! I already have the 1911 map, but thanks for the offer. That was very neighbourly of you :-).

Re: McBains of Orland Township

JCosgrove8786 — 2011-11-22 21:45:33Z

Lake County Historical Society has a book "History of Lake County" where you may find information on your family (we did). Also the Sioux Valley Genealogical Society,Sioux Falls SD, has a lot of information they will share. You can obtain a "Pioneer Certificate" to certify that you are a descendant of someone who lived in Dakota Territory prior to 1889.
We have a copy of the map of Orland Township from the1911 atlas of Lake County. I see two quarter sections with McBain on them and also one eighth section. If you would like a copy of this, I could e-mail it to you. Our Patrick Cosgrove filed on a quarter section some time prior to 1880. His place was not too far from your McBain's. They most likely knew each other.

McBains of Orland Township

rtwtrip20001 — 2011-11-02 23:49:53Z

In the 1870's three McBains - two brothers and a sister, left their parents' home in Nova Scotia and settled in Lake County.

1. MARJORY MCBAIN first married JOHN RANDALL, and had a son WILLIAM in 1879 (family in 1880 census). By the 1900 census Marjory and son were living with her brothers in Orland Township. Her surname at that time was HICKS, so she obviously married a second time. She died 25 September 1909, according to her inscription at Graceland Cemetery, Madison.

2. Her brother WILLIAM A MCBAIN settled in Orland Township. He never married. He died 11 Feb 1922, and was interred at Graceland Cemetery.

3.Her brother SIMON MCBAIN also settled in Orland, didn't marry, and died 3 Feb 1913, interred at Graceland.

I would appreciate their obituaries, or any details anyone can help with (I do have census records). Thanks in advance for any help! Marlene
