Thank you! I knew they had to be there somewhere! I had pieced together most of the children based on newspaper records, and it's a thrill to find that I was 75% correct. I appreciate the help; I was beginning to believe I'd never find them!

1880 Whiteside census help

HemingsenElfering — 2009-10-12 00:11:06Z

I cannot for the life of me find Aldus Harting on the 1880 census, ANYWHERE. His entire family (Uriah and Evannah Harting) moved from Strasburg, PA to Sterling, IL in 1865, and I find them there in 1870. Aldus married Mary Annie Mayberry in 1874 in Sterling, but I cannot find them anywhere on the 1880 census. I find the rest of the Harting family members, and some of the Mayberrys, but no trace of Aldus and Mary Harting and their children. I've tried other spelling combinations, to no avail. I've scrolled through the entire Whiteside census image and cannot find them. They don't turn up on a search in any other location in 1880, and it seems they've vanished into thin air. When I next find them in 1900, Mary is dead, the children are scattered, and Aldus is still in Sterling. I don't believe he ever left, but where is he on that 1880 census? Is it possible there's a fragment that is missing, or am I just skipping over him? If anyone has insight, I'd appreciate it. He was my 2nd g-gfather, and we know he had children in his first marriage w/Mary, but no one knows how many or who they are. Thank you!

Re: Harting-Maybury/Mayberry in Sterling

HemingsenElfering — 2009-10-10 19:24:13Z

Thank you. I have a request in for newspaper research, including those articles, and I am most interested in the intriguing story of Arthur and Ella Magee! It seems that Ella might be the step-daughter of Aldus Harting, as she was 5 years old when Aldus and Mary wed, but a widower Aldus is living with her in 1900, and I imagine this was quite a shocking scandal for the entire family at the time!

Re: Harting-Maybury/Mayberry in Sterling

DeniseMcLoughlin — 2009-09-29 13:47:11Z

Re: Harting-Maybury/Mayberry in Sterling,
Have you perused the Sterling Gazette on-line index for obits, births, etc.?
http://207.63.0.101/Gazette%20Web/gaz01a.asp
There is reference to an Ella & Arthur Magee:
Magee, Arthur obituary / dead in bed 8 July 1939;3;2
Magee, Arthur swallows large dose of laudanum 4 May 1910;1;7
Magee, Arthur aimed to kill wife; James, Charles prevents 5 May 1910;1;7
Magee, Arthur disturbing the peace charge 14 July 1910;4;3
Magee, Arthur disturbing the peace charge 14 July 1910;Standard;1;6
MaGee, Ella files for separation from Arthur MaGee 26 March 1910;1;4

Also, a search for MCGEE on Genealogy Trails/Whiteside yields 12 hits, including obits.

Re: Conner, Reynolds, Stiles, George, Eastman

Hi again, apparently Abigail Dows Eastman and charles M george got divorced and she married another guy. they had several children before the divorce. My GG grandfather was their son Frank H George, and franks son Clarence M George was my Great grandfather. My grandmothers name was Helen marie George Gulbranson Mathison when she died in september 18, 2008.

Re: Conner, Reynolds, Stiles, George, Eastman

hgstinger — 2009-09-27 02:26:02Z

Hi! I am very interested in any Charles and Abigail George info you might have. They are my GGG grandparents. I am related through their son frank and HIS son Clarence. Thanks!

Harting-Maybury/Mayberry in Sterling

HemingsenElfering — 2009-09-27 00:47:49Z

Aldus N. Harting, b. 1852 Lancaster PA, moved to Sterling with family (Uriah and Evannah Benner Harting) ca. 1865, married Mary K. Maybury/Mayberry (b. 1850 in PA, d. 1899 in Sterling).

Aldus married Anna Schaller in 1902 and had 3 children, and Anna moved the family to MN after Aldus' death in 1916. Aldus and Anna were my g-g-grandparents, and Anna sometimes spoke of her stepchildren from Aldus' first marriage, but she never gave details. I have found vague information on one daughter, Ella Harting MaGee of Sterling, but I believe there were other Harting children and I cannot find census records of the family in the 1870s or 1880s to clarify. I would love additional information on my great-grandmother Harting's half-siblings, all of whom were born in the 1870s and 1880s in Whiteside County.

To: David T Richardson

RE: Cormac McAvoy

He has a tall stone located right off the river road in the Fulton Catholic Cemetery. There are other McAvoy stones and McMahon stones in the same area. How are you related to the McAvoys?
I am descendant of Rosena McAvoy and Francis McMahon of PEI (originally of Ireland). They were married 1851 at St. Dunstan's Cathedral in Charlottestown, PEI.

Vahldieck, Krueger, Sowers etc.

unserSTAMMBAUM — 2009-09-16 18:49:03Z

Tim & Jean, a number of years ago we emailed each other regarding Charlotte Vahldieck and her descendants. My files recorded we wrote one another, but it does not have your email address. I am posting here to let you know I found a great deal more about her and her family. Write me again at UnserStammbaum@aol.com if you are interested in it

Re: Obit and burial location for Cormac McAvoy in Fulton

davidtrichardson — 2009-09-16 15:51:17Z

Hello,

This is great information and I will explore your leads. Indeed the McAvoy's from Prince Edward Island is who I am looking for. The emigrated to Fulton.

I really appreciate your time and response.

Also, the Fulton Catholic Cemetery shows a McAvoy descendant - Rosena McAvoy McMahon, buried there with her husband and Children. See GENEALOGY TRAILS/WHITESIDE CO./IL
http://genealogytrails.com/ill/whiteside/obitH7.html

You can also read her obit on that site. She had been born in Belfast, county Monahan, Ireland, February 2, 1829. When but 14 years of age she came with her parents to Prince Edward’s Island. I think I read somewhere in another gen chart that Mary Ellen, g/d of Cormack McAvoy, married in Prince Edward's Island. Don't know if there is a connection or not. There were no other McAvoys listed on the index, but I am not sure if it is a complete index or not.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Re: Obit and burial location for Cormac McAvoy in Fulton

judithafair — 2009-09-15 15:09:44Z

There is a John O. McAvory b. 19 June 1867, d. 12 Jan 1890, buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Fulton, IL. There are many unmarked graves and the church has no record of the burials.
At that early date finding an obituary like today's with much information is very, very unlikely. The Fulton Journal might have a one-liner just stating someone died.

Obit and burial location for Cormac McAvoy in Fulton

davidtrichardson — 2009-09-15 13:15:17Z

I am looking to obtain an obituary for Cormac McAvoy, who died on Mar 20 1873 in Fulton, Whiteside County, IL. I am hoping the obit will list his burial location as there is quite possibly a plot of McAvoy's as some of his children died rather young and I believe are buried with him.

I would appreciate anyone's time

Re: Long Family from Whiteside County, Hahnaman Ed. 1910 Census

Dawns-Aurora — 2009-07-08 21:20:12Z

I have only recently started working on this line of my genealogy again and I don't have that much on the family either but hopefully we can help each other out! Ira L. Long was my gr gr grandfather. The line goes as such: Ira L. Long - Robert Long - Henry L. Long - Robert E. Long- Me! I know that Ira married Minnie T. Weigant. Robert married Dora Asale Sullivan and had 13 children (2 died as small children). Henry married Luvina R. Williams and they had 7 children. Robert married Dorothy D. Corder and they had me! There are rumors that Fabian was a twin but I'm not certain! I also know some other information about the other family members so please let me know if this helps you any. Thanks and good hunting!

The organization encompasses parts of Whiteside and Bureau Counties, with special emphasis on Tampico, Hahnaman/Deer Grove, Hume Twp. in Whiteside County and Yorktown and Thomas in Bureau County.

We have an active Message Board that is monitored daily and we offer assistance in your local research.

We are very grateful to the Village of Tampico for paying the annual fee for the website and to TheWisp for providing free internet service at the building.

Members are encouraged to visit our Family History Library & Research Center, located upstairs at 119 Main Street, Tamipico, IL. Treasures abound - we archive the Tampico Tornado newspapers that were published from 1876-1966.

Thank you for your response. I don't live in Illinois anymore and if I did I would spend a lot of time at the Dixon and Sterling Libraries and Gen. Societies.
I didn't find a Marilyn Anderson on the Sterling Library site so I sent an e-mail to the librarian.

Thank you again.

Thank you.

Re: Obit. lookup please

JudithFair — 2009-07-12 01:28:24Z

You can contact Marilyn Anderson at the Sterling Library and for a small fee she will send you a copy of the obituary. If you live in Illinois you can order the microfilm of the Sterling Gazette from the Springfield Library through your local library and find the obituary yourself to copy. The microfilm is ordered free through your local library.

Elasass-Lothringen belonged to France before 1870, and to the German Empire from 1871-1918: After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the area was annexed by the newly-created German Empire in 1871 by the Treaty of Frankfurt and became a Reichsland (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace-Lorraine ) Only in 1919 Elsass-Lothringen was independent - now it is France.
This could be why on one census she lists Alsace-Lorraine and on another she lists Germany.

Dear John, There is a tribute to Cleo Crossland in the Sterling Gazette, page A3, column 1. Contact Marilyn Anderson -genealogy department at Sterling Public Library. She can get you a copy for a small fee.
For the obituary you should contact the Dixon Public Library and for a small fee they can get you a copy of the obituary since you have the date of death. Good luck.

I recieved this typed obit years ago. I have no idea what newspaper it was in but you might want to contact the Public Library in Morrison IL. They have old newspapers on file and will do a search for obits, wedding write ups etc. They do charge a fee so ask cost before you make your requests. They will send you a photocopy of the requested newspaper article if they can find it. They have newspapers back into the 1800's.

Another option: Go to the Whiteside Co, IL GenWeb site. Find the listings of cemeteries. There is much info in the cemetery records including links to obits.

I'm sorry I do not have any information on your Great Grandmother, Mary Carney. My Mary O'Rourke was born ca 1877 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. She married Frank Rafferty and had two son, Edward, born in 1908 and my father, Francis Augustine born August 17, 1912. In 1920, she put both sons into the NY Orphans Asylum and never saw them again. Later in life, my father found her ands he had married a Miller and had six children by him. One Son was named George, a daughter named Rita another daughter named Mary who married and had a daughter named Aurelia, her nickname was Viola???? The other children I don't remember their names. I was a young child and only saw them twice.

Going back over past submissions, I now wonder if you have any information concerning Carrie's son Franz Culbertson-Lachmund born in 1880's, possibly in Germany and named after Franz Liszt? Lived Philadelphia in 1928. Thank you, Robin Kernan
