This is my mother-in-laws line. You can email me at pamela3015@sbcglobal.net. Elmira Reed Fickes was buried at the Grandview Cemetery next to her son-in-law John James Corbut (Rilla's husband) in Montrose, Colorado in 1899. She is the daughter of John Reed and Lydia Dale.

I do not have a death record for Solomon. He is the son of Jacob Fickes Sr. and Rosana Lingenfelter. I have the Lingenfelter line back quite a ways to Germany and the Fickes line back two more generations. I have the Reed line back about 4 more generations to Ireland. You may already know this.
