J. W. Seavers charged with killing Frank Elgin at Norman, Oklahoma

maryachtrh — 22 Jan 2008 11:28:11 GMT

Appears in "The Wapanucka Press" 29 October 1903 Wapanucka, Johnston County, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma

Guthrie: Governor Ferguson offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of J. W. Seavers, charged with the murder of Frank Elgin, a patient in the asylum for insane persons at Norman. Seavers was a ward attendant. He became enraged at Elgin and beat him so brutally that Elgin died from the effects of the assault. Seavers was located at Osawatomie, Kansas, by the sheriff of Cleveland County, Oklahoma, but the governor delayed issuing a requisition and Seavers escaped. A coroner's jury at Norman exonerated the officials of the Oklahoma Sanitarium company for the responsibility of Elgin's death.

Marcella, daughter of Charles Miller Elgin & Anna Belle Shea

rita_gervais — 10 Oct 2006 3:06:15 GMT

Marcella was born Nov 3, 1916 in Iowa. She moved to Colorado Springs with her parents when she was young and then eventually to Los Angeles or Orange County, California. She may have married a Riley and had two sons. Charles Miller Elgin was born May 6, 1893 in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and died, I think, May 26, 1974 in Los Angeles. I would like to find the children of Marcella.

Robert Morris Elgin

Cliff Cameron, D.D. — 11 Jul 2006 5:57:04 GMT

Greetings:
I saw the Elgin Family site and found the entry on Robert Morris Elgin and tried to contact the folks who posted the photo, but found some bad e-mail contacts.

Robert Morris Elgin was Grand Master of Masons of Texas in 1866, and the last Most Puissant Grand Mster of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters of Texas in 1864.

Elgin was still active in Freemasonry to help rehabilitate the Grand Council in 1907, and this Grand Council is preparing to celebrate its 100th Anniversary in 2007.

The Library and Museum of the Grand Lodge of Texas in Waco, Texas has searched its archives and has no Masonic artifacts belonging to Elgin.

I would like to make contact with Elgin's family members to see if any artifacts exist and to see if they can be photographed or placed on a temporary display in the GLT Museum in Waco, Texas.

My contact information is:

ILGEN/ELGIN, BONNOT of Galveston, Texas

Tanya Kloesel — 9 Aug 2004 11:47:50 GMT

I am looking for information on the BONNOT/ELGIN family of Galveston, TX. Joseph BONNOT (b. March 2, 1843 in New Orleans, LA) married Mary Augusta ELGIN (b. March 1856) on April 18, 1873 in the First Lutheran Church in Galveston. They had four children that I am aware of - Joseph, Louis, Frank and Alice.

Mary died in 1900 from injuries she sustained in the great hurricane that year. Joseph died June 4, 1930, still in Galveston.

Beyond this little bit of information, this particular branch of the family tree has proved to be a little elusive. I would love to hear from anyone with any information on these folks! Any help is appreciated!

ILGEN/ELGIN, STEWART, LOCKHARDT, SCHIRMER of Galveston

Tanya Kloesel — 9 Aug 2004 11:45:39 GMT

Hope someone can help me! Am trying to locate additional information on the ELGIN/STEWART/LOCKHARDT/SCHIRMER families of Galveston.

Information I currently have is as follows:

Sophie ELGIN (b. Mar. 7, 1877 in Fayette Co. to John ILGEN and Augusta DIECKMANN) married Robert STEWART on Oct. 30, 1895 at First German Evangelical Lutheran Church in Galveston. They had one known daughter named Ella aka "Honey." At some point Robert STEWART died and Sophie married Charles LOCKHARDT.

Honey STEWART married a man by the name of Houston SCHIRMER on Sept. 3, 1912 there in Galveston. They had two known children - a girl by the name of Lorraine and a boy named Houston.

Lorraine was a singer and was, by all accounts, quite stunning. She married a medical student - I'm unsure of the man's name. Shortly after they married he went to step onto an elevator, fell down the shaft and died. I'm not sure if she ever remarried.

I also am uncertain what happened to Houston, Jr. and his parents, Houston, Sr. and "Honey."

If anyone has any information on any of the individuals mentioned above, please get in touch! Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tanya

ILGEN/ELGIN, READY, FALKENHAGEN of Galveston, Texas

Tanya Kloesel — 9 Aug 2004 11:42:39 GMT

Am looking for info. on the ELGIN/READY/FALKENHAGEN families of Galveston, Texas. Details I have on this particular line are sparse but here's what I've gotten so far -

Margarette Caroline Augusta ELGIN (b. May 24, 1864 in Galveston to John ILGEN and Augusta DIECKMANN) married John J. READY (I'm not sure when or where) who died in 1889.

She then remarried to a man named G H C FALKENHAGEN on April 12, 1893 in Galveston. I have no record of when or where either of them died, nor do I know if M.C. Augusta had any children from either of her marriages.

G H C FALKENHAGEN may have been a business man or a store owner there in Galveston during his life.

If you have any info. on any of the above mentioned people or, even better, if you are in some way related to them, then PLEASE get in touch! I welcome any help or suggestions!

dt — 1 Feb 2001 5:10:58 GMT

I am trying to find Darold, he is listed as my father on my birth certificate. I don't know if that is true information, but would like to trace my background & history. He was married to a Gloria Jean Thomas in the late 60's, and resided in Portland Oregon during that time period. I do not know if they are still married. Darold would be about 58 yrs. old if still alive. If you know Darold, could you please ask him to contact me through e-mail, I would like to get some background now that I'm an adult with children myself. Thanks so much.

Elizabeth ELGIN

Victoria Peggs — 28 Jul 2001 11:37:21 GMT

Elizabeth ELGIN married William COMPTOM probably in Culpeper Co., VA before 1783. Mary COMPTOM, their daughter, born Culpeper Co., VA, 1783, was one of my greats. Does anyone have information about the parentage of Elizabeth ELGIN or the ELGIN family in VA? This is a newly discovered surname in my family tree. Any info appreciated. Thanks.
