Earl Dennis McMahon was born about 1869 and died in Jun of 1904. His parents were John J McMahon and Evangeline Cordelia Bowman. Earl married on 28 Jul 1889 to Allie Estella Vosburg, daughter of Francis Sidney Vosburg and Freelove Delight York. In the 1905 Wisconsin Census for Frankfort Township, Pepin County, the Widowed Allie McMahon is listed with four McMahon children. In the 1920 Fed Census for Frankfort Township, Pepin county, Wisconsin, Thomas F(letcher) Ganoe is listed with his wife Allie and stepchildren, Jay and Della.
Della (Delight Evangeline) McMahon married Clive Metcalf 24 Oct 1922 in Frankfort Township, Pepin County, Wisconsin. My mother was a Pepin County Metcalf so it is through Clive that I am related to the McMahons.

I have recently located Josephine LaPean Patraw/Patrow living with her son and daughter in law in Durand, Pepin Cty as of the 1940 census. I have still not found any info on her death or burial. I have also found her husband Filmore Patraw was struck by ligthning about 1917 in Two Rivers, WI as per his obit but can't find newspaper article. Josephine's sister Melinda LaPean Rohde died in Two Rivers 1946 and brother John died in Two Rivers 1944 and brother Henry died in Two Rivers 1930. I live in Arkansas and don't get back to WI to often so if you can help I would greatly appreciate it. Dan Handy dhandy48@yahoo.com

I am also a decendent of the Patraw family from Pepin Cty back to Quebec. My great great garndfather was George son of Charles. George fathered Filmore who married Josephine LaPine and they bore my grandfather Irvin who married Edna bore my father Gerald and then divorced. My father was adopted by Ray Handy. And so on. I have conflicting census data about Josephine. I have Wisconsin 1905 census stating she lived in Marinette,the 1900 doesn't show her anywhere nor does the 1910 and 1920 census. Filmore passed away 1928 in Marinette, WI. Can anyone help find Josephine?

Would like to get an obit or burial record if there happens to be any. His name was Eric Sandberg. His wifes name was Louisa Sandberg. They must have lived in that area some place. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: MOORE, DREW, PHILLIPS, WILCOX,

marwd124 — 2012-03-28 19:12:06Z

I can assure you that there is absolutely no connection between the Thomas Moore you say was born at Southwell, Nottinghamshire, in 1574 and the family/descendants of Sir Thomas More (not Moore). This is a pure fiction.
I believe you (and others) have somewhere along the line misread Southwell, Nottinghamshire, for Southwold, Suffolk. This is the town from where the Thomas Moore related to the Youngs family emigrated to America.
Thomas Moore's birth date is a guess, lacking any documentary evidence.

There must be. Based on what Michelle first posted about Ida's funeral it states that Grace Pomasl attended and was at the home of Matt Pomasl so they must be related I'm just wondering how.

Re: Mrs. Clarence [Ida Notham] Pomasl

thekirb77 — 2012-02-20 15:00:20Z

I don't know what the relationship is, but that would be an odd name in a low population area. It would seem logical that there is some relationship.

Could not find Ethel in the newspaper archives of the University of Wisconsin Stout Library, but did see her sister and Jesse Patrow. They usually provide copies of articles for free unless you have a large order. Both spellings of Chaffee/Chaffey.

Hi Thomas, Nice to hear from you. I don't have either a Lyndon or Malgeria as children of Minnie and Albert Farrington. What years and where would they have been born?
In my records, Minnie and Albert did have a daughter, Margery G. Farrington. Also Minnie and Albert had a son named Albert. But knowing the approx. birth year would help to narrow it down.

bca60 — 2011-06-06 09:35:28Z

I am searching for information regarding a Bessie Cowles as my son-in -laws recently lost their father and his mother's name was Bessie Cowles. Very little is known by them about her and I have been searching Ancestry.com for census records and only came up with one where she was 10 years old and was living with people by the name of William and Mary Day in 1900. She was their niece according to the record. She married a Vernon Robinson.
Any information about her or anyone by the name of Fish or Stoops would be helpful...I am trying to do their family tree and I am stuck! The boys are very interested in their family and I am under the impression that they no very little about it.
Thank you so much for helping me do this for them!!
