Otsego Co. relatives

Laura Jensen — 11 Sep 2008 12:01:04 GMT

I am trying to do my family history from Az and I, and my relatives are from MI. Crissey, my fathers family came from NJ to Ohio to Michigan to Maryland then back to Michigan. My gr-grandfather was George Clark Crissey. He married my gr-grandmother Cinda King in Ohio where they had at least 2, possably 3 of their children. They had the rest of the children in MI. George Crissey appears on the 1894 list of soldiers,sailors and Marines in Livingston Twp.
After returning to MI my father met and Married Cloella Failes d/o Theodore Failes and Laura Slagel. Her Parents were Joseph Slagel and Henrietta Long. I have a lot of information on the Slagel family. I am not doing so well with Theodore Failes and his Family. He is the child of Edward Failes and Margaret Walters. They had several children. Patrick m Christina,William, m.Minnie, Damin, Richard never married was killed, Edward, Ira m. Sadie, Anna Belle m. William, Irene, and Theodore being the youngest born 1870. If any one has information on any of these people I sure would like to hear from you. I will be more than glad to share what information I have. Thanks in advance.

Newspaper obituaries for 1898 in Vanderbilt for William J. Sly

janicesly2008 — 9 Jul 2008 1:14:16 GMT

Please, can anyone tell me whether a newspaper existed in Otsego County in 1898 that might have had obituaries? If so, is there microfilm available of it anywhere today? I am trying to find details about William J. Sly who was born in 1826 and died on 13 or 14 September 1898 in Vanderbilt. William is buried in Evergreen Hill Cemetery (also called Vanderbilt Cemetery). Because I do not live in Michigan, I am unfamiliar with what newspapers might have existed in the area around 1898. Thanks for your suggestions!

RUSH SCHOOL and THE RUSH SCHOOL DISTRICT

patrick1770 — 12 Jan 2002 4:32:08 GMT

RUSH SCHOOL DISTRICT

As part of an ongoing project, I am attempting to collect as much available information on the RUSH SCHOOL and the RUSH SCHOOL DISTRICT as possible.

Several years ago, I discovered that an ancestress of mine had taught school in the RUSH DISTRICT. For years, I was told that nothing existed on this small, one-room school and that searching was futile. However, in the past year or so, I have been able to obtain several photographs (including one of my gr-gr Aunt, Carrie E. STARKS GALLOWAY), of the school, some of its teachers, and even some students. In addition I have also obtained some transcriptions of school rosters and other materials that I would like to make available to other researchers.

Before compiling this information however, I would like to gather as much additional information as possible- this would make the project of compiling materials chronologically much easier. Can you help? ANYTHING pertaining to this small school would be of interest. Please dont think that what you have is too small a contribution I would be thrilled just to add another attending childs name to the materials already gathered.
Not asking that you donate or give any original materials. Would simply like a photocopy, e-mailed information or a scan of anything pertaining to this school, its teachers, or its students.

Please feel free to contact me with questions as well. I would be happy to share anything that I currently have via e-mail.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

[P.S. Thank you too to all those who have already shared information. As promised, any final compilations will site both contributors and sources. =o) ]

[Obituary printed in the Otsego County Hearld Times on February 19, 1942] MRS. MARY GRAHAM DIED HERE SUNDAY. Mrs. Mary Graham, a pioneer of Otsego County, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Fler, with whom she made her home for many years. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning with interment in Fairview Cemetery. Mrs. Graham lived in Otsego County more than 50 years. She was prominent for many years in county activities, and up until her last illness, was always busy. NOTE FROM GLORIA SMITH: Mary Catherine Graham was the widow of Charles W.

CHARLES FLER--Obituary 1958

Gloria Smith — 23 Jan 2000 12:00:00 GMT

[The following obituary appeared in the Otsego County Times Herald in Gaylord, Michigan on 4 December,l958] CHARLES FLER DIES FOLLOWING LONG ILLNESS. Charles Henry Fler was born on October 21, 1880 in Hayes Township, son of Henry and Ida Bell Fler. He spent his boyhood in local lumber camps. He met and married Elizabeth Graham on May 5, 1908, and three children were born to them, one of whom died in infancy. To most of his friends and neighbors, he was simply known as "Charlie", not as Mr. Fler. especially to the younger generation, who loved to listen to his tales of the woods. Charlie spent his entire life in Gaylord and there are very few for whom he had not performed some service at one time or another. He passed away on Friday, November 21, at the age of 78, after a lingering illness. Surviving are his widow, one son, Roy, of Detroit; one daughter, Mrs. Helen Robinson of Saginaw; three sisters, three brothers, two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Services were held at Walker Funeral Home at 2 p.m.on Monday, November 24, with Rev. Guenther Branstner of the Methodist Church officiating. Burial followed in Fairview Cemetery. Serving as pall bearers at the service were Herbert Hutchins, Athur Savage, Averill Soper, Svend Madson, William Bankov, and Alfred Coon.

Can anyone help???? I would very much like to contact Ken but have had no luck thus far. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
