Lashbrook, 1986. (If you have access to the book, or can find it, look at page 265, 266.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have never found a marriage record/mention for John and Lydia. I worked with the local historians in Clinton County New York, where I presumed a marriage may have taken place since the Lashbrook family lived there from about 1830 to mid 1840's. I may just have to revisit all of this and see if the historian of Wilmington, Essex County might be able to help - - as - - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />We do find John in the 1840 census enumeration of Wilmington, Essex County, New York as follows: 1 male 10-15 years old, 1 male 15-20 years old, 1 female under 5 years and 1 female 20-30 years. We note that John would have been 25 years of age and the female (20-30) could be Lydia. Are the ages accurately recorded? Anyone's guess is as good as mine, so easy to mark one of those little hash marks in the wrong column. And, who are the others, 1 male 10 to 15 and one female under 5? Are they John's children or siblings? It is not clear is it?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John appears on the 1850 census for Byron, McHenry County, Illinois as follows: John, age 35, farmer, born England; Lydia, age 22 (hard to read), born Canada. No children enumerated with them. Had their offspring already passed?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John is enumerated on the 1855 state census in McHenry County, Illinois. Residing in his household are the following: one male age 10 to 20, 1 male 40 to 50 years of age and one female age 30 to 40. We believe the younger male could be the Oliver Jerrison, err, Jerome, found in the household in 1860. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John appears on the 1860 US census for Harvard, McHenry County, Illinois age 45, farmer value of real estate $6,000.00, value of personal property $1,000.00, born England; Eliza, age 43, born Canada E. Living with them was Oliver Jerrison (this is Jerome, not Jerrison), age 14. *See below.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John is enumerated on the 1865 state census for McHenry County, Illinois. There are 2 males and one female living in the home. The second male is between 10 and 20 years old.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John is enumerated on the 1870 US census of Harvard, McHenry County, Illinois as follows: John age 55, farmer, real estate valued at $7, 200.00, personal property valued at $1,520.00, born England, parents of foreign heritage, cannot read nor write; Lydia, age 53, born Canada, parents of foreign heritage, cannot read nor write.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John was found enumerated on the 1880 U.S. Census, Harvard, McHenry County, Illinois: John Lashbrook, age 66, farmer, born England, parents born New York; Lydia, age 63, wife, keeping house, cannot read or write, both Canada, both parents born France.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">John's obituary appeared in "The Harvard Herald" (Harvard, McHenry County, Illinois) on Friday, March 27, 1891, copy provided to compiler by Rosemary Alewine of Delavan, Wisconsin in February of 1997. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> His obituary reads as follows:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> "JOHN LASHBROOK, who died at his residence in Harvard on Friday morning, was born in Devonshire, England, March 6, 1814. When 15 years of age he came with his father to America, settling in Clinton county York State, where he remained until 1844, when he came west and bought a farm in the town of Dunham on which he resided until twelve years ago. He then came to Harvard and resided here until his death. Mr. Lashbrook was a man who in early life shared the hardships and trials of a poor man, for he was poor when he came west, but by hard work and the patient, persistent and kindly influence of a devoted wife, who died a few years ago, he laid by considerable money, which nearly all became exhausted before he died. Mr. Lashbrook was a kind hearted man, but he had a sad failing. He had an unconquerable thirst for liquor, and he lived to see the fortune which he and a devoted wife had labored so hard to accumulate slip gradually away from him, and all on account of his strong appetite for liquor. About three years ago he received a paralytic stroke and he has been an invalid ever since, totally unable to help himself. His funeral services were held at the house on Sunday, the burial being in Jerome's cemetery."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Nothing I have found in the years of research ever mentioned John and Lydia having children, except as mentioned above, the work by Mary Lashbrook, 1986. On page 265-66, she states:<br /> "John's tombstone says that he was 76 years 14 days at death. Two small stones without dates in the cemetery might be those of their children, Ernest and Ann." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> On a visit to the cemetery a number of years ago, I did not see these two small stones near the burial spots of John and Lydia. The photos I took that day, also do not reflect any small stones. Small stones could easily be damaged, removed, lost to time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here is a photo of two Lashbrook stones, Richard and Ann, the parents and John and Lydia Lashbrook are all buried here in close proximity. Yes, the stones are leaning.

He was about 80 years of age and had retired from active business some years ago. His wife died about four years previously, and their only child died in infancy.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Only child! Not two, just one. But, it is the mention OF A CHILD. I'll take it - - for now - - and, yes, errors in news paper reporting do happen. You will note that there is no mention of the "gripe" in the obituary that appeared in the Harvard Herald. There was also NO mention of children. Is this definitive? Heavens no. But, I'll still take it. For now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It was wildly and delightfully duplicated. It was such a fun week or so. He even blogged about it over at his blog, <a href="https://www.geneaspy.com/" target="_blank">GeneaSpy</a>, see his post of <a href="https://www.geneaspy.com/2016/03/a-little-thing-that-went-viral.html" target="_blank">March 26, 2016</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So, each block represents part of my pedigree chart. Yes, starting with me. You will see this goes back as far as my great-great grandparents. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Yesterday I studied each of these great-greats and traced those lines back as far as I could, did I have any idea where they may have come from before jumping the pond?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Yes, and no.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now, the disclaimer, for the past couple of years, I have not done any updating, or review of research on these ggggg (however many greats) grandparents, or their origins. So, this is information collected in prior research. There is nothing like review and more review of prior research. By doing so, we may find new ideas, information, hints, and new documentation. However, for now, this is what prior research has told us about the possible origins of my 16 great-great grandparents.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(By square number, starting at the top right, and working down that entire row.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">1. Wales</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2 thru 6, have no clue</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">7.

England (possibly French Hugenots prior to England.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Interestingly enough, these do remind me of the heritage claims of my grandparents when asked. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And, I will admit, I am now itching to review and see if I can discover more. Will I?? Stay tuned.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Alexander is shown as 32 years of age, a writing master, born in New York, father born Scotland, mother born Iceland.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In his son Ernest's obituary (provided by Marilyn O'Connor of Mitchell County, Iowa), it is stated that Alexander died when he (Ernest) was very young.

Even after numerous research dives at Ancestry dot com, FamilySearch, and Find A Grave as well as digitized newspapers via the CommunityHistoryArchive project. Frankly, I am befuddled. Alexander was seemingly a popular teacher/professor, who after his marriage had one child and then goes poof into the upper stratosphere of a place unknown. <br /><br />I searched the Mitchell County Death Registers for 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884. Zip, nadda, newp. <br /><br />Mystery man, what happened to you? Are you really Alexander McFarland? Did you change your name before or after your marriage? Where were you before you start teaching in Mitchell County Iowa? Oh, the questions.<br /><br />Now and then, I will revisit Alexander and search again.

Ya, that many hits. Takes a while, but, the family tidbits have been more than worth the journey. In late December I found this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First, a Lashbrook school?? Frankly, I do not remember hearing about this before. Of course, look at that date, wahhoooo, 1870!!<br /><br />Next, I have so many questions while I read this. Who are these people? Not names I recognize from my, cough, cough, years of researching the Lashbrook clan. (Since 1991, again, give or take.) <br /><br />Here, take a read while I do some internet snooping - - - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">From the Waverly Republican, Waverly, Bremer County, Iowa, published March 24, 1870:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> “SCHOOL EXHIBITION. - - The Lashbrook school closed on Friday, but owing to the bad weather in the beginning of the week, the exhibition was postponed until Saturday evening following.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The school was conducted by D. W. Edgar, to the general satisfaction of the parents and scholars, and many happy remembrances of bygone days will be remembered by both scholars and teacher.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The classes in Algebra, Book-keeping, and the first class in Arithmetic nearly finished their studies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The exhibition opened with greeting song, by the entire school, followed by declamations, dialogues; vocal and instrumental music by Alfred and Wesley Broadie, added much to the evening’s entertainment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Most of the speakers were young, and their ‘maiden’ effort was highly creditable. Among the latter was Carrie Stockwell, Katy and Fannie Potter and Ida Curtis. The ‘Universal Melody’ was sung by the Broadie boys, and was cheered by the audience. Mary Broadie sung “I’m Ninety-Five,” and was loudly applauded.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Tableaux, ‘The Family Reunion,’ and ‘Good Night’ we’re called for the second time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The exercises closed by singing the ‘Good Night’ song by the school.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> As a whole the exhibition was a decided success, agreeable to scholars and teacher, and highly enjoyed by the large audience in attendance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The scholars return the sincere thanks to Mr. Broadie for the use of his organ.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> CEDAR”</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OK, I'm back from my soooping.

No, Dan, you said in that paper that I was grabbing all that I could “under the plea of a Granger.” Dan, that is a lie and you are the maker of it. Sir, I am a Granger, and do not deny it.

The ice and wind storms led to many hours/days of tree debris clean up, some of which we did and the rest we had to hire out, it was just too much to tackle ourselves. We had power outages, of course. The ice storm took out well over 30,000 customers in our county. Did I ever tell you, how much we love our generator??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a view the morning after the ice storm, looking down our street, the night before one tree came down, was pushed out of the way by some kind soul, but, by morning, two more were down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTrzLpbk-u3Gz-ziTsJlCIUyinHK2S39tQlkC4fFezvevDnIidbxG-WtxXZnEl0YkHE_QDqTsa-GlT3m3qvzGNOoZsKdq9JJTDoK0YCHo2hw53aUGA31OHl0_emK0o584jlNhctjcb1Hod6K_5WcmlLvqqiyr6Iyq0lNO5SEWB85sPmYabTlZaDrSFZLf/s720/icy%20trees%20Feb%202023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTrzLpbk-u3Gz-ziTsJlCIUyinHK2S39tQlkC4fFezvevDnIidbxG-WtxXZnEl0YkHE_QDqTsa-GlT3m3qvzGNOoZsKdq9JJTDoK0YCHo2hw53aUGA31OHl0_emK0o584jlNhctjcb1Hod6K_5WcmlLvqqiyr6Iyq0lNO5SEWB85sPmYabTlZaDrSFZLf/w640-h480/icy%20trees%20Feb%202023.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2023 has also been a year of techy stuff. We added "fiber" about a year ago. And, by that addition to our lives, we now have high speed, no limits on the uploads and downloads. There are also new horizons with learning curves, not to be laughed at as they have been steep at times. For me, it was the normal, research and data bases and adding new web sites and by the end of the year, due to some weirdness, I took a crash course on IPs and ISPs. It was not a welcome course, I'll just say that. May have been good or bad for the blood pressure. <br /><br />For Man, the techy fun was in televisions and home security system. In an attempt to have a bit of fun he installed a camera shooting out into the back yard where the deer travel and visit. We called it, of course, the "Deer Blind". Come fall, after the pumpkin season, Man cut up one of the pumpkins and placed it almost at the steps from the deck. With the assistance of some twinkle lights on the deck, we were able to catch one doe having a taste. If you look hard, about mid photo side to side and back where the darkness takes over, there is another doe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWNYU7Z5Aa3RDIYe-JMvUYJNCZa9Mwy-5mqexdALX2Z3Y0GvYGCv5hdYeBl3iFoRmNLEJFWZwma70-mmaksvoIhsvJuz8pCGivrafiICI5vhwUVVwcCKBTQ2d9tEhs4lusqVBfyqjjmW6CchySNY0OG3V8kPcOXRXuc0VOiZtUhBT9Owe2Yz3fbSzkxjc/s900/deer%20blind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="900" height="435" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWNYU7Z5Aa3RDIYe-JMvUYJNCZa9Mwy-5mqexdALX2Z3Y0GvYGCv5hdYeBl3iFoRmNLEJFWZwma70-mmaksvoIhsvJuz8pCGivrafiICI5vhwUVVwcCKBTQ2d9tEhs4lusqVBfyqjjmW6CchySNY0OG3V8kPcOXRXuc0VOiZtUhBT9Owe2Yz3fbSzkxjc/w640-h435/deer%20blind.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's our fun stuff. The rest of our year was filled with maintenance of the house, yard work and such. Here is Ms. Hibiscus. She spent her 2nd summer outside and now is spending her 2nd winter in the house. She barely bloomed all summer, but, once I brought her in the house she bloomed profusely, up until about 2 weeks or so ago. We would find 2 to 5 new blooms on her each morning. And, we found aphids too. To say, I am not a fan of aphids, well, understatement, eh?? After review of my options to fight the aphids, I chose soapy water, gently applied to the blooms where I found the aphids. I am also not a fan of the oriental "lady bug wanna be" that invade the home in the fall after the farmers cut the soy crops. They bite for one thing. That's enough, frankly. So, guess what they eat?? Aphids. And, guess what I found on one of the blooms of Ms. Hibiscus. And, then, the aphids decreased. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Seriously, isn't Ms. Hibiscus stunning??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtMIUvjWybvZbOT1jg03yhETXQSsoU3dzVrpujrSf7YfusiyAKKE__dqgWdVqrKsCtJ_HSsFvIAhKg9VWwL4LQY5iJWR-TsalL_QjEBruar7W0goQKcdy2ebDikxKQYjKFZ96dohyphenhyphenE5YyZW-cOMBg_N6rThARcQa5KJIsHII3Bnh5wpmgVPVaO6z3NMCJp/s600/hibiscus%20color.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="450" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtMIUvjWybvZbOT1jg03yhETXQSsoU3dzVrpujrSf7YfusiyAKKE__dqgWdVqrKsCtJ_HSsFvIAhKg9VWwL4LQY5iJWR-TsalL_QjEBruar7W0goQKcdy2ebDikxKQYjKFZ96dohyphenhyphenE5YyZW-cOMBg_N6rThARcQa5KJIsHII3Bnh5wpmgVPVaO6z3NMCJp/w480-h640/hibiscus%20color.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>My friend???</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_efzjNFqXSF55wpLHiz7r4pzkmkyGc7qQvOda_7MxLm-bi_ImGsEYbzECaeRFJCBEbUW1gIQUhXd6FKXXQqyDTvi43c-UPgvaAHqVbYbk8t8JS11ijDU30lAYP4K4o6xSphVCDkzITa5YZTidBTW9QGX8fzzFFXXTsZr5WOmdh4iIavgGVZxuni75ghhy/s480/hibiscus%20lady%20bug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="222" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_efzjNFqXSF55wpLHiz7r4pzkmkyGc7qQvOda_7MxLm-bi_ImGsEYbzECaeRFJCBEbUW1gIQUhXd6FKXXQqyDTvi43c-UPgvaAHqVbYbk8t8JS11ijDU30lAYP4K4o6xSphVCDkzITa5YZTidBTW9QGX8fzzFFXXTsZr5WOmdh4iIavgGVZxuni75ghhy/w296-h640/hibiscus%20lady%20bug.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In closing - - may your holiday season be peaceful and blessed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqDuVHuxWdffDs9kQsyTa3G3oN8DHFUOLnxrJf0V1QVOxQxUGt6UybU8SCTiOB0gsVdzeBf_qwomsZUrcgm4to-8YFInjNkEB90xAFnaF_XZFUxT5ZrqirMvaO9TshiDXhnLEXKtEGrkLqnzcdAtUxZVnBbKegvG0TuEUd-NrkaoVKmEIY8BS1k_dqov4/s840/2010%20Mesilla%20Creche.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="840" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqDuVHuxWdffDs9kQsyTa3G3oN8DHFUOLnxrJf0V1QVOxQxUGt6UybU8SCTiOB0gsVdzeBf_qwomsZUrcgm4to-8YFInjNkEB90xAFnaF_XZFUxT5ZrqirMvaO9TshiDXhnLEXKtEGrkLqnzcdAtUxZVnBbKegvG0TuEUd-NrkaoVKmEIY8BS1k_dqov4/w640-h480/2010%20Mesilla%20Creche.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">(Crèche from December 2010, La Mesilla, also known as Old Mesilla, Doña Ana County, New Mexico.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Mr. Nicholas Weerts, and we thank him, no date other than 1953 was found on the obituary:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"Lewis E. Clifford</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Dies in Montana</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Funeral services were held here Tuesday afternoon for Lewis E. Clifford, 71, who died suddenly last Thursday in Glasgow, Mont. His death followed a heart attack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Rev. Robert Mielke officiated at the rites conducted at the Spencer-Armstrong funeral home. Music was provided by Mrs. Maxine Schonrock and Mrs. Eva Siverson.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Interment was in Rosehill cemetery. Casketbearers were A. M. Dahl, Hugh Miller, Don Nichols, Harry Nichols, Harry Duncanson and Harold Headley.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lewis E. Clifford was born Dec. 9, 1882, at Wabasha to Clara E. and Charles N. Clifford. He attended school at Lake City where in 1908 he was married to Grace Hudson. After living at Winona four years they moved to Montana where he has resided over 40 years. His wife passed away about 20 years ago.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Surviving is one daughter, Elizabeth (Mrs. Elmer Jacobsen) of Seattle, Wash., and two grand-daughters; also four sisters, Mrs. Norma Nelson of Minneapolis, Mrs. Paul Cochran of Mineral Wells, Tex, Mrs. Edith Aldous and Mrs. Virginia Soehren of Sacramento, Calif.; and two brothers, John and Richard, also of Sacramento. A sister, Mrs. Ada Hall, and a one-year old daughter, preceded him in death."</div><div><br /></div><div>He does have a Find A Grave memorial, #38809458, with a photo of his headstone. So happens that I have visited that cemetery in person many years ago. He is buried near and around some of his siblings and his mother.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs. As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings.

Sadly, Anna's baby Hedwig does not survive.<br /><br />Cut to 1888 and we find that Josephine Ruthig Seyler dies as well, leaving several young children, Anna, Leander, William and Hedwig. Hedwig is the youngest, barely 4 years old.</div><div><br /></div><div>Research tells us that:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div>Anna is found on the 1891 Canadian Census of Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario in the home of her aunt and uncle, Fredrich and Louisa Ruthig Schmidt (Schmitt).

She appears with them on the 1891 Candian Census of Wilmot, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada as their Adopted SON (ooopsie). </div><div><br /></div><div>All of Josephine's surviving children (one had died in 1880) appear to have been adopted by other family members. No research has shown why, but, it is not uncommon for the father to not raise his motherless children.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is the "adoption" of Josephine Seyler's, Hedwig, by Anna and Henry Heldman that I used for the justification to have Hedwig, born September 28, 1884 use the maiden name of "Seyler Heldmann". </div><div><br /></div><div>Here we see both Hedwig's, under Anna as a mother:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakDEq8zDF01uQwFA2KQg8u5R9eBiYfUcJhxTSxkeT-ORm1lSZjXzj2cR7GUgnB3gt1T4e1ywzeVkFjOVsnOVxR8T5egO8LI49o4iORSraWAsBmSmR42f_CHyf1HXPpc32Ls2ss4zo8dFbkm7na_1f5aU4a2zLP4IN3Tw5lTy2JSiUZRNLN2veg5-RHrwf/s1956/Screen%20Shot%202023-09-15%20at%208.12.24%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="954" data-original-width="1956" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakDEq8zDF01uQwFA2KQg8u5R9eBiYfUcJhxTSxkeT-ORm1lSZjXzj2cR7GUgnB3gt1T4e1ywzeVkFjOVsnOVxR8T5egO8LI49o4iORSraWAsBmSmR42f_CHyf1HXPpc32Ls2ss4zo8dFbkm7na_1f5aU4a2zLP4IN3Tw5lTy2JSiUZRNLN2veg5-RHrwf/w640-h312/Screen%20Shot%202023-09-15%20at%208.12.24%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Many researchers whose work I found while researching the two Hedwigs have confused the two.

Hard to believe, but true.<br /><br />Yes, we all know and remember where we were on that crisp, sunny, bright, September morn <strike>10</strike> , <strike>11</strike>, <strike>12</strike> 22 years ago. As family historians have you recorded your thoughts, your view points, your fears, your concerns? I did, in an abbreviated form and it is recorded in my data base. Pretty much this is what it says:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Man's birthday, I had cooked him a large breakfast, eggs, meat, french toast. At some point, I walked into the front room to glance at Good Morning America (who knows why, I just did) and at that very moment the second plane flew into the World Trade Tower. I saw it hit. And we spent a good part of his birthday watching the television reports. Later that evening, our boys came to celebrate their father's birthday. We called around and found a restaurant open, we went there. Business was very slow. The world surely changed that day, freedoms limited, security increased.</span></div><br />Man had retired just 9 months prior, on January 1, 2001. We were adjusting to retirement, reasonably healthy. We were having a birthday celebration, and in just moments, our lives and those of everyone we knew, of the entire world, changed. Really changed.<br /><br />And, never again, would Man's birthday be the same, because it was now linked in some weird way to the events of 9-11. Each September 11th is now bitter sweet, his birthday and the memories, always the memories.<br /><br />Lest we forget - - - those lost on that horrific day.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>And, Happy Birthday Man!</b></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RtbAIJBnbWg/Tme1ESNAn8I/AAAAAAAAKTE/AdG4aZ31pek/man%252520hiking%252520for%252520bd%252520post.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RtbAIJBnbWg/Tme1ESNAn8I/AAAAAAAAKTE/AdG4aZ31pek/man%252520hiking%252520for%252520bd%252520post.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Blogs, social media, or just in your personal memories. I have played before, and will play along a bit this year, God willing and the creek don't rise.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This week's challenge is "So Many Descendants." Sometimes when we're researching, we'll come across a set of ancestors who seem to have a gajillion descendants. Who is that in your family tree?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I took this challenge as an opportunity to learn more about the computer database I am currently using, Reunion. Let's face it, data bases have a lot of power tucked in under the hood and finding it all can be and is a challenge. <br /><br />So, off I went diving into the innards and hidden goodies. I found something called "Summary". It gives some fun numbers, like number of spouses, number of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, gg, ggg, etc., to the point of the last generation you have searched and/or recorded. You can print reports or just study them in amazement.<br /><br />I decided to look at 4 lines, 2 of mine and 2 of Man's. My parent's surnames and his parent's surnames. Follow each surname to the last person I have recorded, noting that a few of the ancestors, I have researched further back, but, for any number of reasons, may not actually added those ancestor's names to the data base. Some are so far back that I am not comfortable with the amount of sourcing available. Hey, back before 1700 it can get sketchy in many countries. Anywhooo - - - - - - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii2KR6T_WBOff-3mRzGLODZNYBvb_o9VgU9Y-qgWBQeNJ8BW_W4rZpaq-mCZAoyaTas4MwY-e1whnv7Ng2H3Gq1b3Gqq9bfppIXm99jeMZX7rLQYKfcLUYgOZX1UKtUS3kn88RNQgL0aTxh8On1p-ScfBnpOngt_khOP0VXS0xrNnqMUW6KV5CRRSNiQ/s375/familytree%20by%20clipart%20library%20dot%20com.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="354" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii2KR6T_WBOff-3mRzGLODZNYBvb_o9VgU9Y-qgWBQeNJ8BW_W4rZpaq-mCZAoyaTas4MwY-e1whnv7Ng2H3Gq1b3Gqq9bfppIXm99jeMZX7rLQYKfcLUYgOZX1UKtUS3kn88RNQgL0aTxh8On1p-ScfBnpOngt_khOP0VXS0xrNnqMUW6KV5CRRSNiQ/w378-h400/familytree%20by%20clipart%20library%20dot%20com.jpeg" width="378" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">4 lines, how many descendants.

Wink, wink.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Karl "Carl\Charles" Herman Gehrke line only goes back to mid 1800, where the records end, as best we have ever been able to determine, barring new discoveries. The Lashbrook, Bowen and Trumbo lineages all go back to around 1700. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Total descendants currently in my data base from these 4 ancestors = 3253.

No marriage record to Valeria (Valerie and other spellings accepted.). Said marriage, if there was one, would have happened after 1957 when her second hubby John Martin Scherer passed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have not been able to locate Wally on census enumerations, I am not sure what locality to search, in the U.S., or, maybe somewhere else. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I am currently searching for "alternate" given names to research, otherwise, he is truly a brick wall. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Oh, see the P.

S. FOUND HIM!! He is Raymond Joseph Vedro. I'm still trying to figure it all out and do the input. Interesting little genie twist, there are two marriages (that I have found so far) between the Vedro and Butkus clans. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I found him by going to GenealogyBanks dot com (I pay full price for my subscription) and searched every Social Security Death Index entry for the surname Vedro. There were less than 50, so the search was not overwhelming. When I found Raymond I stopped short and took a nice long look, because his last benefit was forwarded to the same small community that Valeria's last benefit was forwarded to. With a name, and some dates, his wall came tumbling down. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Still no marriage index or record. Still no burial place for either. Still no obituary for him. That can all wait for another day, cause, frankly, I am kinda tired, I stayed up wayyyyy too late last night tossing around all those bricks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And, I have no idea why he went by "Wally". But, we all know, there is no rhyme or reason to nicknames. And, we all know, nicknames were invented to drive the already partially crazy family researcher to the FULL ON WACKADOODLE crazy. We thank you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">.</div>

As told on social media, yesterday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">~~~~~~~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The pansies have been coming in and out of the house depending on the "freeze warnings". They have been in for like 2 or 3 days this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This morning I look at them and find them pretty much covered in aphids, IN MY HOUSE! I am not a happy gardener. NOT. ONE. BIT. HAPPY.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Pansies make a speedy and immediate exit to the deck. A few hours later I go out and give them a good spray with the hose, to wash the aphids off. I'll just keep having to do that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">SOOOOOO, after I scrub the table surface off with some disinfectant wipes (pansies were ON the table, not on the floor) - - - - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I am watering a few other plants and moving them around on the table.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So, I pick up a plant (it has long droopy stems/leaves) to move it, I unearth (yes, I went there, live with it) ON MY TABLE - - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A tree frog!! Who is well over 1 inch long, so, this is no baby frog, eh??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Did you know that tree frogs chirp? Or chatter? Well, they make some song thingy. We have been hearing chirping for a couple of days, quite loud, LOUD.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">You know, now we know why that chirping was so loud. That buggar was NOT on the deck door to the front room, he was IN MY KITCHEN for the last couple of days.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's been a day. Man scooped up our froggie friend and put him outside on the pansie.

I included this short summary in my book:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> "On April 18, 1906 at 5:15 A.M. San Francisco and surrounding area experienced what is commonly known as the “Great Earthquake”. The shock of the quake was felt over an area of about 375,000 square miles, destruction was found over 400 miles south and ran 25 to 30 miles on either side of the fault. The quake produced 135 after shocks on April 18th and 22 more on the 19th. What the quakes did not destroy in San Francisco, fire did. The “Great Fire” burned for four days. The death toll has been set from hundreds to current theories that maybe as many as 3000 died."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"In 1906 there was no bridge between San Francisco and Oakland/Berkeley. Travel between the two locations was done by ferry. Ferries ran frequently, people lived in Oakland and worked in San Francisco."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"The damage in Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley was relatively light (if one considers property damage in excess of $2,500,000.00 light) when compared to the tragedy in San Francisco. Frank Aleomon Leach, former newspaper reporter, at the time of the quake was the superintendent for the United States Mint in San Francisco, and lived in Oakland. He wrote an article, “Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906", which compiler found on the Internet. He tells of buildings dancing lively jigs during the quake, moving as much as a foot up and down. He also tells of the destruction of Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda and his descriptions are the best compiler found."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Nearly every brick building in town suffered a loss of fire walls, while three of four old buildings were so badly injured that they were subsequently removed......There was not a building in Oakland, Alameda, or Berkeley, that I heard of, that was not shorn of its chimney tops.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"Fire was a threat to Oakland and Berkeley as it had been to San Francisco, however, only a few alarms for fires went off. Oakland was lucky, the damage was such that they were able to repair their water mains within hours of the quake."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"The death toll in Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda was very low, one of the worst disasters in Oakland was at the Empire Theater where the walls collapsed and five people were killed. Many were injured in Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, but not many died."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda became the relief center for over 270,000 people from San Francisco. Oakland before the quake had a population of less than 100,000. Committees were organized to meet the refugees at the docks and trains offering hot coffee and something to eat. The refugees were then taken to places to sleep. Shelter camps and hospital camps were organized. It is said that two weeks after the disaster, that every one of the homeless had been cared for."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Karl and Charlotte (Gehrke) and all of their children, except Hedwig arrived in Alameda in late 1904. Their daughter, Hedwig, with her husband August (Braun) arrived sometime in 1906, and returned to Hawaii in 1908. Karl and Charlotte lived on the Oakland side of the San Francisco Bay until they moved to Michigan about 1911. One can only imagine their experiences and their memories of this historical event. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In my research of this family and sharing of family stories, traditions, some true and some stretching the truth, never once did any of the descendants mention the 1906 earthquake. In hindsight, that strikes me as somewhat odd.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dWYMDGEYmpc/W7qxl17wENI/AAAAAAAAlh8/HCIrKqBTD0omi3kCuMvzVDM3Wp5lFlWiACEwYBhgL/s1600/signature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="53" data-original-width="87" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dWYMDGEYmpc/W7qxl17wENI/AAAAAAAAlh8/HCIrKqBTD0omi3kCuMvzVDM3Wp5lFlWiACEwYBhgL/s1600/signature.png" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">* Sources include articles found on the Internet through the site maintained by the Museum of the City of San Francisco.

I’ll fall (ooopseie there, unintended play on words)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As I was saying. I’ll fall short. Let me see what I can detail/remember. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The boat ramps are in at the state park. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The turtles are sunning in the pond on the floating trees that fell during the ice storm. Lots of turtles. Small ones, medium sized ones and one really large one, it was the size of a large dinner plate. Or larger. Did I say, LOTS of turtles? I counted well over 10 in our pond. (Our pond is little more than a divot in the ground, only a few feet deep at the fullest, and about 130 foot across at the fullest. It dries up by summer or fall, depending on the rain and heat.) Back in the swampy area that abuts our property line I stopped guesstimating at well over 20 turtles. It is hard for me to get close enough to do a good count, so 20 could very well be an undercount. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My star magnolias did quite well during the ice storm, just a few branches were snapped off. My pink star has been such a delightful bright pink, the white, has also been stunning.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq840UCdmCmnkMv8JqC6XtE28OUIld_At3m-Rbt_CUTljX9_lcUXVHDsjPEKesnSFGdwZqhMKA4C7Njx9UfjfPrArK90nTilbRgOjntsg006FFDoIBTRfIIZHUeQzklr9hWyNOxSCR5PdNlyIR_kLT7rTPVjgCK_WD1RuwF99ciOqX02QhredspV0kRA/s540/IMG_0352%20edit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="405" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq840UCdmCmnkMv8JqC6XtE28OUIld_At3m-Rbt_CUTljX9_lcUXVHDsjPEKesnSFGdwZqhMKA4C7Njx9UfjfPrArK90nTilbRgOjntsg006FFDoIBTRfIIZHUeQzklr9hWyNOxSCR5PdNlyIR_kLT7rTPVjgCK_WD1RuwF99ciOqX02QhredspV0kRA/w480-h640/IMG_0352%20edit.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The peepers are singing at almost deafening volumes. I discovered the other day we have some wood frogs out there somewhere. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The winter wheat or hay or whatever the local farmers have planted is growing, average height is 4 inches. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The same farmers are beginning to plow their fields. Acres and acres of plowed fields. I’m unclear if those fields were planted, I’ll try to remember to look at them in a couple of weeks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The flyovers by sand hill cranes are loud and delightful, I will never tire of that unique call.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The local nursery outlets, the independent ones, have put out the pansies.

Bye bye holes. At least until the next rain. However, those dust clouds, right now, epic! Rising many feet in the air and spreading out well over 1/8th of a mile. (Reminds me of rural Iowa. Now they have dust clouds - which remind me of mini tornadoes that can be seen miles away on a clear windless summer day.) Speaking of rain, may it address this dust issue? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Farm equipment, those huge lumbering hunks, are once again on the highways, slowing down the speedsters.

I even see the occasional power lines that have many trees laying on them. It has been about 7 weeks since the storm, every time the wind blows we find more debris to pick up. I figure this fun will continue for months. Getting in our steps, eh?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We may see goslings soon.

A kind Find a Grave volunteer had posted a photo of the monument and an obituary in August of 2022.<br /><br />I contacted that nice volunteer. Explained my issues. Asked for assistance, and noted, twice, that I understood if he could not assist.<br /><br />I sent him the information about that lousy death index. I ended with, "I am grasping at straws and you are today's straw??? LOL."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A few hours later I received a response, "You grasped out at the right straw." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He looked up that lousy death index over at Ancestry dot com. He looked at it, called the town of Hingham and obtained the death date in full and the cemetery data. He then created a memorial for Eunice. It is here: Memorial # 252264089</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you to a very nice volunteer.

As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed. If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me.

As I always am. In review of my data base transfer from Legacy to Reunion I am finding many errors, or things I am fixing to my own personal preferences. Last night I was "adjusting" John Robert Darden and his family. Found I had next to nothing on his daughter Eunice. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlaqxultasByYu3TxWvJbTCd8KgkjOdcI7Gz62zomRuFiVUvL_9CbGgY8tMpcPeIbuzonTpaQcmO9j9Laf1cfqbAKK77Ifmgz_kLZg9L8sqmJQPGyQ7q2n7iW7uulkNx7MLHxcE_af3qhVmOEQVGPU57ZEsdtGd4SFpC-YIELfDXSqW7jLbpQQ0hU0-w/s932/Screen%20Shot%202023-04-10%20at%2011.38.41%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="932" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlaqxultasByYu3TxWvJbTCd8KgkjOdcI7Gz62zomRuFiVUvL_9CbGgY8tMpcPeIbuzonTpaQcmO9j9Laf1cfqbAKK77Ifmgz_kLZg9L8sqmJQPGyQ7q2n7iW7uulkNx7MLHxcE_af3qhVmOEQVGPU57ZEsdtGd4SFpC-YIELfDXSqW7jLbpQQ0hU0-w/w400-h284/Screen%20Shot%202023-04-10%20at%2011.38.41%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Search commenced. I found birth data, some good census hits. Some very interesting other records, ships manifests (from Greece I believe). TWO marriages. Hubby # 1 dies rather young. Marriage to # 2 is in Ontario? That was a surprise for sure.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">No death record, no obituary, no social security death records, no Find A Grave, other researchers indicate a 1966 or 1969 death. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Kinda a normal research evening.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The odd thing - - both hubbies have the same last name and I do not see any relationship between the two dudes. Thanks for that special gift. Both hubbies have Find A Grave memorial, and neither mention you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At that point, I called it a night. But, this morning, the snooping continued and after a bit, backing into a data base at Ancestry dot com, I find:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Eunice Meader</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">in the Massachusetts, U.S., Death Index, 1901-1980</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Name Eunice Meader</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Death Date 1991</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Death Place Darden, Massachusetts, USA</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Volume Number 39</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Page number 227</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Index Volume Number 142/143</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Reference Number F63.M363 v.142/143</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">SOOOOO, the death date is NOT correct, if you look at the image and follow the columns down. That death year of "1991" is actually her age. Her age is reported at 91. Which is only about 4 years off by my figures. If you get in the correct column you will find the year of the death is reported/input as 1967.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The death place is not DARDEN. That is her freaking maiden name. Again, follow the columns. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I followed the columns. Then, I downloaded the image and I edited out the names above and below hers, maybe I just need more coffee to agree with this indexing muss. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Whatchathink??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have seen some weirdo indexing in my years.
