Barbara,
This has nothing to do with the Goshen community, but we corresponded many years ago about Joseph W. May who married Emeline Crabtree of Nodaway Co., Mo.
When I tried emailing you at chaffin@scottsbluff.net, it came back.
You once said you had a picture of above couple. If you still have it, could you send me a copy by email?
Thanks

Alfred Smith died 23 Sep 1918 in Torrington, Goshen County. He was married to Mattie Mc Comsey Smith who died in Torrington 12/18/1926. They lived in Torrington starting around 1890. If anyone can tell me who to contact for newspaper obits I'd be most grateful!

Re: William Jenks grave

Perry, There is a historical marker at the Oregon Trail about 3 miles south of Lingle but it only says:
OREGON TRAIL
MARKED BY THE
STATE OF WYOMING
1914

The area has been highly disturbed with road building, canal building, several houses, a highway bridge, and the river may well have moved some since 1849. There is no evidence of any graves in the immediate vicinity. If you want a photo of the historical marker, send me an email: linglebird@yahoo.com. Where did you get your information on the location of the grave? It might help pin things down better. Bob Dorn

Robert,

Thank you very much. I will NOT trespass on private land, but did want to get as close as I could. The proposal for the book is now with my publisher to see if they will buy it or not. If they don't get back to me soon, I'll do my little research trip next summer for description, though the event I was researching happened in late August, early September.

THANKS again!

Catherine is buried in the Valley View Cemetery according to her obit at http://www.torringtontelegram.com/v2_news_articles.php?headi... but it doesn't give a cause of death. It gives the website for the funeral home. You can contact them and see if they would be able to provide you that info. You can add her name to findagrave and create a memorial and ask somebody to take a picture of her headstone.

The Isadore Essler I have are buried in Padua, Stearns County. Him and his wife had two children of Theresa and Frank. Frank is my great grandfather. Frank is buried in Sauk Centre.

I don't have much information on that family. So if there is more please e-mail me to let me know. Thank you!!!!

Re: Essler

janedorn116 — 2011-05-16 21:21:10Z

I am not sure why you have this posted in Goshen County, but it appears that Isadore Essler died in Stearns County, Minnesota 3 March 1914, born 17 December 1837 (1900 US census says October 1836), Germany. His wife Fernika died 29 March 1926, same place, born 1833. The 1885 Minnesota state census has Isadore, age 50, residing at Raymond, Stearns County along with Fernika, age 52, Frank, age 16, Joseph Beckman, age 34, Katherine Beckman, age 35, and Michael Beckman, age 2. All this can be found at www.familysearch.org (the new familysearch). There was a John Essler in Goshen County, Wyoming in the early 1920's. You may have all this. Is there a reason for posting in Goshen County? Robert

sharonessler1 — 2011-04-11 01:20:04Z

Re: Hiram D. Lingle

He is listed in 1920 in Goshen Co, Wy. with no children, just wife Bessie. In the 1910 census he is in Chicago, Ill and his wife is listed as Elizabeth, question on census of mother of how many children is listed 0, neither living or dead. It would appear he did not father any children, at least by her.

Re: obit

hannogurski — 2010-02-24 06:39:36Z

Sorry Kristin, I am "just" interested in the Eissler persons. After a total computer crash a year ago I lost all my database with about 27,000 (!) persons - Eissler and related ones. Since 6 months I have been putting the names and dates again into Brothers Keeper - by now I have more than 8,000 persons (abt. 4,500 Eisslers).
Think it would take another life to put ALL the available family into BK . . .

Nevertheless - thanks, Kristin!
Best wishes for a snowless day - we have tons of it here . . .

John Eisler was born 19.06.1843 in Alsace-Lorraine at that time belonging to France. At the age of 13 years, he came to Illinois and made his home with his grandfather and an uncle. In October 1864, he enlisted in Co. E, 32nd IL, Infantry and was houbly discharged in 1865. He was with Sherman's army on the march to the sea.

Hope I could help - appreciate same by you :-)

I noticed in your post you mentioned knowing some of John's family. He's my great-great grandfather. His daughter, Caroline (Carrie) is my dad's grandma. I'm trying to find our roots back to Alsace. I actually visited Oakdale a couple years ago with my dad-he showed me where John and Dorothea's farm was.
