Re: Seeking orphan Florence Williams born 1913 in Sioux Falls, SD?

JCouch315 — 2013-03-31 03:31:33Z

Hi there, I just saw your message board. Florence L. Docken was my Aunt. The reason she was in an orphanage was because her Mother died in 1925, and I guess my grandfather just didn't think he could care for the six girls. Florence was the second oldest of 6 girls. Her sisters were Ruth, Betty, Shirley, June and Joyce. Aunt Florence's daughters, Joyce Meinders and Delores Graham both passed away with in months of eachother a couple years ago. You can sure email me if I can help with anymore questions, either here on ancesty or my email address is JCouch315@aol.com

You're welcome and that is all I have. I edited his obituary and now done with it, I hope you got a better copy than I did, I had trouble with the machine so if it isn't right let me know.
Also you will note the last S missing as I saw and copied it.

I saw two Hans Hansen's in the death records but none seem to be the right one as Evald's father died in 1953.

Thank you for all your lookups. I've photographed the Moxness headstones at Mt. Pleasant and actually had Peter's obit. I had previously looked for Lille Belle's and couldn't find an obit either. I've since moved from Sioux Falls. Thanks you again for all your help.

Birth of Peter A. Moxness

BrianGaber — 2013-02-25 13:08:54Z

Hi,

I see he wasn't from Moksnes, but from a nearby settlement called "Moxnesmoe". He was born at Haabetsplads, but was living at Moxnesmoe by 1865. I see a lot of trees with Peter Moxness, but no one seems to have his birth record, so I will post it here:

Birth #141
Born 18 Jun 1862
Baptized 17 Aug 1862
Peter Andreas
Father: Tøllef Tørrissen
Mother: Lovise Lucie Danielsdatter
Residence: Haabetsplads, Nedre Stjørdal, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway

Kildeinformasjon: Nord-Trøndelag fylke, Nedre Stjørdal, Ministerialbok nr. 709A15 (1859-1870), Fødte og døpte 1862, side 56.
Permanent sidelenke:http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=2464&i...

His name at birth is "Peter Andreas Tøllefsen", but he apparently chose a shortened form of his farm name when he emigrated to America.

Here is Peter with his parents and sister in the 1865 census for the farm "Moxnesmoe":

maren_marie — 2013-02-24 20:43:17Z

I would like the obit of Evald Thomas Peter Hansen. I have quite a bit about him; he is my husband's great grandfather. I thought I had his obit and I don't. He died March 13 1975 in Hartford. He is buried at the Minnehaha Cemetery near Colton. I believe the Argus might have the obit because he was a firefighter in SF and retired out by Colton. His wife Lottie died July 15 1974. Thank you for any help with this.

I edited the original entry to reflect that.

Andrew FODDS

JamesL_Miller — 2013-01-15 14:53:32Z

(The submitter sent this to me and has no connection to this family. I believe she is connected to Mitchell County, Iowa.)
I am not related to this family.

Andrew Fods

Andrew Fods was born 1867 at Dane, Wisconsin to Ole Johnson Fods and Carrie (Karie) Larsdatter Fedge, one of their 11 (or 13?) children. Andrew's parents moved west from Wisconsin to settle at Rock township, Mitchell County, Iowa. (Andrew Fods' father, Ole J Fods' biography can be found at the Mitchell County Gen Web site - search biographies).

Found Andrew in the 1870 to 1895 censuses living at Rock, Mitchell, Iowa: 1870: Ole Tode 30, Carrie Tode 24, Lewis Tode 5, Andrew Tode 3, John Tode 1.
1880: Ole. J. Fodds 40, Carey Fodds 34, Lewis Fodds 14, Andrew Fodds 13, John Fodds 11, Eddy Fodds 10, Thomas Fodds 8, Albert Fodds 6, Ida Fodds 4, Paul Fodds 2, Rhoda Fodds 11m, Bell Iverson 22.

Andrew was confirmed at the St Ansgar Lutheran Church on May 18, 1882.

Andrew Fods married Petra Emelia Fjelde on December 26, 1896 at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church, Cedar township, Mitchell County, Iowa. The couple moved to South Dakota and had 6 children, 4 daughters, 2 sons: Olive, Alice, Martha, Ellen, Peter and Clifford.

Father's Name: Joseph Marion James

There were two newspapers serving that area in 1939. Both are available on microfilm at the South Dakota State Archives in Pierre.

1) "The Colton Courier" Microfilm has 1928:July:5 through 1976:December:30.

2) "The Baltic-Crooks Booster" Microfilm has 1930:July:3 through 1947:February:20.

Re: Obituary Lookup Please

JamesL_Miller — 2012-12-28 11:58:32Z

Gerry would you happen to have the undertaker that provided the service?

I had another obituary request for burials in the Colton Cemetery, so I called the Colton Library to ask the librarian what paper would carry the obituaries for that area, and she didn't know.

Re: Obituary Lookup Please

GerryAmbroson — 2012-12-27 22:41:02Z

In addition to checking the Sioux Falls Public Library for the Argus Leader editions as Joe did, I also checked their film of the Sioux Falls Weekly News and the South Dakota State Forum, also a weekly publication. I did not find the obituary in either of those publications either. However, I'm not sure either covered Colton. I found other small communities, but not Colton. Despite not finding Colton in either publication, I checked two August dates for both publications that occurred after July 30, 1939. I'm not confident I've found the best sources for news from Colton of the time. So, I'll try to find something else.

I checked the South Dakota Death index and found that her death certificate number is 189462 if you'd like to contact the South Dakota officials for a record. The index shows she died in Yankton County as you indicate.

John R. "Ray" and Eugenie lived in Buffalo township, Minnehaha County, South Dakota (just outside of Sioux Falls) in the 1930 Federal Census. She was born in Alsace-Loraine as were her parents. Her "native" tongue was French. She immigrated to the U. S. in 1906 and was a naturalized citizen. However, she spoke English.

"Ray" was reported to be 45 and Eugenie 22 in the 1930 Census. I don't put a lot of faith in ages in the census as this suggests that Eugenie was born in 1888 while her grave stone shows she was born in 1886. However, the census recorded that she was the wife of "Ray"; and she was 22 when they were married. "Ray" was 25 when they were married. So, they were possibly married around 1900. The question to me becomes whether the 1906 immigration date is when she actually came to the U. S. as the question suggests or if it's the date she became a naturalized citizen.

The 1920 Census shows them living in Buffalo Township in Minnehaha County, South Dakota, again. Other than listing Eugenie's birthplace as France, there is little new. John was renting the farm where they lived. It doesn't list Eugenie's immigration. It lists ages of 33 and 36 which are more consistent with the information on their gravestones.

I don't know how much of this you have already, but thought I'd provide it in case you didn't.

If there's anything more I can do to help, let me know.
