Requesting Help: Emily Kendall Wallace

gregclouse1 — 26 Jul 2008 4:46:01 GMT

I hope one of the very kind people of Richland County would check a death record on my gg-grandmother Emily Wallace.

I am interested in he birth location, cause of death, and her parents name.

I will state up front, that her death could have been filed in Vernon county...but she was a resident of Richland County.

This is her burial record:

Thompson's Bender Cemetery
Aka "Old" Hopewell
Forest Township, Richland County, Wisconsin USA

WALLACE, Amelia 1835 1877 04-21-1877
Married Samuel Wallace. Aged 42 years.

What a goldmine that Richland County Cemetery website is! I feel very fortunate that so much information I have needed has been found there. Honestly, I have never seen another county that has something that complete freely shared.

Thanks!

Anna Margaretta Moll - St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Cemetery, Germantown

fuschia07 — 9 Oct 2007 4:25:56 GMT

I have a picture of the tombstone for Anna Margaretta Moll and am wondering if anyone knows what year she died? The inscription says:

Anna Margaretta Moll
Gest 1 Martz Im Alter
on 65 Jahren Ruhe
Im Frienden

I'm guessing the translation would be:
Anna Margaretta Moll, died March 1 at age 65, rest in peace.

I checked at this website, but don't see her name listed:

William Richardson

RuthAnnMontgomery — 15 Sep 2006 5:40:20 GMT

Mr. William Richardson, a very prominent citizen of Richland City, was instantly killed on the 13th. In attempting to spring upon a timber elevated about six feet up on 2 upright points for the purpose of seasoning lumber, the entire frame work gave way, throwing him on the ground with much force, the timber striking him on the head and fracturing his skull, causing instant death. -- Exchange

Mr. Richardson was a son-in-law of Mr. Levi Taggart, of Evansville. We think Mr. Richardson lived in Wyoming Valley instead of Richland City, as above. A telegram informed the friends here of the casualty and who joined the bereaved family, by the Saturday night train one week ago.

Looking for descendants of Daniel Day (c. 1827-1891) and his wife Harriet, shown on the 1880 census as living in Dayton Township. I believe Daniel was the son of Elias Day (b. 1802 NJ, died 1887 IA) and Charity Eator (b. 1801 PA, died 1842 OH); Daniel would have been the brother of Calvin Day, who lived in Wellington Twp in Monroe from about 1857 until his death in 1918.

My gg grandparents were Charles Dove and Amanda Creed. They lived in Rockbridge in 1860. I'm trying to prove my gg grandfather Charles Dove was a brother to Edwin A. and James Dove. In the 1880's Edwin and James owned a business called Dove Brothers. All three men were born in New York and had parents who were born in England. Edwin and James did have a brother named Charles and their parents names were Charles and Mary. They lived in Saint Lawrence Co. New York before coming to Richland County. Charles and Amanda had a son named Edwin Allen and a daughter named Mary, my great grandmother. These are the reasons why I believe Charles is related to Edwin and James Dove. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also trying to connect my gg grandmother Amanda Creed to Daniel and Lydia Creed who lived nearby in Rockbridge in 1860. I suspect Amanda was Daniel and Lydia's daughter. Amanda was born in Vermont and Daniel and his son Lyman were also born in Vermont. Daniel, Lydia and Lyman were living in Saint Lawrence Co. NY in 1850. Amanda was not listed with them in the census. So far I can't find Amanda any where in the 1850 census.

My detective work might be wrong but I don't think so. Any information on these families would be so awesomely appreciated and I'm ready to share what info. I have. Thank you.

East Pine River Church records

Shirley Schumacher — 2 Jan 2006 9:30:55 GMT

I am looking for records for East Pine River Christian Church
This church was located about 4 miles west of Yuba, WI
The church building is no longer there this church was started back in 1855 John Jewell was a charter member I think the first church building was log and then later a frame building was erected which was destroyed when a truck coming down the Church House Hill ran into it and demolished it I am not sure when services were no longer held there In the 40's I remember there was Bible school in the summer and some times reunions were held there
Some of the families who went there were Jewells,Morgans and Borlands If anyone has information about this church I would really appreciate the help

Clarsons from Tamworth, England

jeanffrench — 4 May 2004 11:54:16 GMT

My Clarsons come from Tamworth, Staffs, and my earliest record is the marriage of James CLARSON to Mary BELL in 1739.

Two members of this family emigrated to Richland Co, WI in the late 1850s. They were James Willis CLARSON and his wife Mary Jane VAN ALSTINE (who later moved to Baltimore, Maryland); and his brother John CLARSON and John's wife Anna COOK. John and Anna's children were James Sidney; John; Henry Robert; Annie May and Charles Arthur.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has a CLARSON connection.

Death of Aged Man

(Richland, Wisconsin, Democrat.)
The death of Abram Miller, who has been a patient at the city hospital for several weeks and who underwent an operation for the removal of one of his limbs ten days since, occurred Saturday afternoon last, the 21st inst. He had been making such favorable progress that relatives and physicians had great hopes of his ultimate recovery, but Saturday morning a change took place which caused the summoning of those near to him, and late in the afternoon he breathed his last.

Deceased was a native of Kentucky, born in Fleming county, December 14, 1832 being 83 years and 10 months of age. When a babe he moved to Marion county, Indiana, where his boyhood days were spent. In 1854 at the age of 22 years, he came to Richland county, which was then in its pioneer days and where he wrought his home and competence. He was united in marriage October 30th, 1855, with Louisa A. Jones, who preceded him to the unknown several years since. This union was blessed with four daughters, Mrs. Martha Sigrist, of the town of Orion, Mrs. Ella Cox, of New Plymouth, Idaho, Mrs. Elizabeth McClintock, of Long Beach, California, and Mrs. Emma Benham, of Cedar Rapids, Nebraska all of whom were with their father in his last days and attended the last sad rites. Mr. Miller enlisted in the fall of 1862, and served his country until the close of the civil war. He was in every sense of the word a good man a man who followed the dictates of conscience and did as near as possible for frail humanity, as he would be done by.

Funeral services were held from the Pratt funeral parlors Monday afternoon, interment taking place at the city cemetery. The funeral address was made by his old comrade, Rev. Hood, and the services at the cemetery were under direction of the G.A.R.

Emily — 17 Feb 2003 4:40:09 GMT

I would like to hear from anyone who knows ANYTHING about Joe Cruise's? old farm on the corner of Hwy K and Hwy 58 outside of Cazenovia. When I was younger some people pulled in the driveway who had lived there as children and told a few stories about that place. I was too young to take their names and they left without a trace. I would LOVE to hear from those people again. AND/OR I would like to learn anything I can about it from anyone who has anything to say. PLEASE contact me.
