Chicago Divorce 1890-1910

patriciakk — 2013-05-14 20:56:19Z

My great grandmother states in the 1900 Census for Cook County, Ill ward 22 that she is divorced. In the next census 1910 ward 26 Chicago, she states she is a widow. Where can I find out if she did indeed get a divorce or was this a sham to throw off why she was alone with seven children.

Her name: Augusta Sophia Lindenau born Sweden 4 May 1851.
His name: August Elias Fredericks or Fredericksson born Sweden 29 Aug 1854. Surname Fredericksson was his Swedish surname, changed to Fredericks when they immigrated in 1881.

Evidently they married in Sweden but I haven't obtained their marriage certificate yet.

Children:Linnea born in Sweden
August Alfred born in Sweden
Charles F born in Sweden 1881
Bernard born in Illinois 1884
Elsie born in Illinois
William born in Illinois
Frederick born in Illinois.

Augusta's parents: Lars E. Lindenau and Johanna Andersdotter
August's Parents: Fredric Larsson and Christina M. Jansdotter

Any help on this possible divorce would be extremely appreciated.

Marriage of Franklin and Edith in Boston is on FamilySearch:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11556-38635-92?...

Looks like Jessie was born just about 9 months to the day after they married.

Re: rideout

LHSwisher — 2013-01-13 04:36:23Z

If your Jessie was a female, this may be her in 1900:
http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&...

Census indicates that her mother, Edith W. Rideout, is widowed and Jessie and Edith appear to be living with Edith's mother,Abbie Willis, in Malden, Massachusetts.

(According to the Malden city directory of 1900, Edith W. lives at 21 Franklin st., which matches the address of the census above. Edith is listed as the widow of Franklin S. Rideout:)

looking for JESSIE RIDEOUT born Dec.30,1896 in Chicago,Ill.need parents names,and anydates and places.

search for John O. Vermillion

LindaWildman13 — 2012-12-15 22:58:15Z

In John O. Vermillion's pension papers for the civil war. He says he was in Charity Hospital in Chicago in 1874 for small pox. He also said he was working on the docks and fishing for the market. I assume that implied he worked on a ship?
He was born in Va in 1845, was raised in Ohio. He was in Delavan, Ill prior to Chicago. Would any records exist of this ? I am trying to locate him in the 1870c. Is there any directories that would show if he was there?

Danville, Illinois

benpao69 — 2012-11-26 17:44:30Z

Is there anyone in or around the Danville, Il. area that could research a death notice in the local paper; a marriage license & a possible divorce document or death certificate?

I have tried for two solid years, corresponding with locals, such as the owners of a cemetery, and have gotten nowhere. The individual I am interested in had a short life span - mostly in Danville, but does not show up on any of the local or state databases!! Can the information been transposed or misspelled during the transsfer to their computer systems???

Thank you.

How about Emitt Ben Craighead b. approximately 1899, I believe in Waukegan, Illinois. He is my great-grandfather (he was dad to my grandpa Emitt Charles Craighead b. 1928 Waukegan, Illinois. I am trying to confirm that Emitt B's dad wad Benjamin F (BF) Craighead b. approx 1869 and to learn who his parents were :) any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Craighead's of Waukegan, Illinois

TammyT777 — 2012-02-21 05:28:15Z

I am trying to find correct information regarding my great-great grandfather Benjamin F (BF) Craighead.

My grandfather was Emitt Charles Craighead b. 1928 in Waukegan.
His father was Emitt Ben Craighead b. Approx 1899 in Illinois.
His father was BF Craighead and it seems as though that's where I get taken into several directions. I thought his father was William Thomas Craighead married to Josephine Dunn, but from what I can find on them, it says they were black, but I am white, my grandfather was white and my great- grandfather is listed as white, so I'm thinking his parents were probably both white as well... Any help finding the correct info would be great. Thanks!

Rietesel/Rietzel Family look-up

workovheart — 2011-12-03 05:00:30Z

I am trying to find names of parents for both/either Theodore E. Rietesel (B.May 22, 1913 in Cook, Illinois) and Clare Louise Youngs (born 1927 in Illinois) Clare was the wife of Theodore. Theodore's father's name may have been spelled Rietzel. I know there was a change in spelling sometime around immigration, just not sure which generation.

These were my grandparents, and since I have no contact with my birth father, I'm having trouble finding more info.

Any help with these names is appreciated.

Re: Oakwood Cemetery - Waukegan

emeraldraven3x3 — 2011-08-23 20:24:47Z

Best bet is to contact the Sexton of the cemetery. Bruce Kennedy at bruce.kennedy@ci.waukegan.il.us or call him at 847-599-2576 as he has all the burial records for this cemetery. This cemetery is maintained by the City of Waukegan. Hope this will help you on your search.

Re: Oakwood Cemetery - Waukegan

emeraldraven3x3 — 2011-08-23 20:23:01Z

I received a response back from the Sexton of the Oakwood Cemetery for the Lauko/Lauka baby:

"I am not showing any record for Lauko or Lauka baby. Hope this helps you. Bruce Kennedy, Maintenance Supervisor,
Office - 847-599-2576 bruce.kennedy@ci.waukegan.il.us"

Sorry about that. I have added his email address and phone number if you wish to ask him further questions.

Re: Oakwood Cemetery - Waukegan

emeraldraven3x3 — 2011-08-23 13:38:05Z

I don't have a listing that shows whose buried in which plots, sorry. But I had sent a message to the Sexton of the cemetery to see if he can tell me where they are buried for you. I will let you know if he responds.

Re: Oakwood Cemetery - Waukegan

lynnemk15 — 2011-08-23 03:10:21Z

I went to the Waukegan courthouse today, Recorder of Deeds, to see if they have any record of a Louko purchasing a lot in Oakwood Cemetery. I did not find such, but in the list of Grantors I found that "The Finlander People" had purchased from the City of Waukegan, lot 25, block 2. Also, "The Brotherhood of Finland" had purchased lot 30, block number P. Does anyone have a listing for these particular lots which would identify those actually buried there?

Re: Oakwood Cemetery - Waukegan

emeraldraven3x3 — 2011-08-19 12:29:59Z

I did a search on the Waukegan Library site for the names but they do not show them buried there, but then this database is not a complete one. The libraries around here do have cemetery books with names of those buried there and I can stop by sometime next week and look it up to see if they are there. I have photographed the headstones of almost 75% of this cemetery and I have not seen that name so far, but like you stated, they may be unmarked. I can let you know what I find out. You can email me off board at findingthepast at comcast . net if you would like.

I am at a dead end with this branch of my family.I can't find all of the children or their parents. If anyone could look up the obits, I would be grateful. John Dolan died 15 Apr 1913 and Mary Dolan died 30 Dec 1928 in Galesburg.

February 1920 tragedy?

My wife's father relates that an Uncle of his named Charles VanConia (VanConey, VanCony, VanCona) moved to Illinois from his birth stae of Kentucky and married a woman born in Illinois. He also srelated that sometime in February 1920 Charles Van conia and his entire family died (or were killed), but the circumstances of death are not remembered.
It is possible/proable that Charles Van conai settle in Long Point, Livingston county, Illinois and married Omas Patterson. The reason for this speculation is that i found a death certificate for a "John Franklin Van Cona" who was born, died, and buried in Long Point on 17 Mar. 1817. His parents were shown as "Charles Van Cona" and Omas Patterson.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
