My great-great aunt named Sarah Jane BENTLY THOMPSON, and her husband William THOMPSON are buried in the Natl Cemetery at Keokuk. He was in the 3rd Iowa Cavalry during the Civil War, and she was a nurse during that conflict. They lived out their lives in Keokuk.
Some years ago, from the National Archives in Wash. D.C., I obtained a copy of Sarah's pension application in which she detailed her service as a nurse at various Union Army Hospital's in eastern Missouri and Keokuk also. Her, or his, obituary states that she was the first female to be permitted burial in the Natl Cemetery and because of her service as a nurse during the war. Her and his grave are located in the southeast corner of that cemetery which I visited a few years ago. Would some of the details of her nursing service, outlined in her pension application, be an item which would interest anyone?

My name is Ron Cockrell & I live in Park Forest, IL. My father left when I was about 4, so I really do not know much about my family background ... or used to not know. About 3 years ago my younger brother and I started tracing our roots. We have traced them to our great great grandfathe Daniel COCKRELLl who, aroung 1890, resided in or around Ottumwa Iowa. From information we can get he was born in Ohio but things are very sketchy. We have located the site where the COCKRELLS started in Reedsville, VA @ a creek called Cockrells Creek .. We took a trip there and found the records where there was originally a 500 acre plantation belonging to the COCKRELLS. We are trying now to establish the link between Daniel, his father, whom we believe to be John, and wife Virginia ... do you have any information?? Thank you.

WILLIAM SOLLARS FAMILY - From the mid 1850s through to 1912,
the Buckhorn Tavern, a hostelry and north/south stage stop at Charleston,
Montrose Twp., Lee Co., Iowa was owned and operated by 6'3" tall William
Sollars, his wife and family. A Keokuk Newspaper had Reporter Potter go
there and do a story on him and the Buckhorn Tavern in 1909. William married
twice and raised two families here at the Buckhorn in Charleston. He was
justice of the peace, and even had a side business building furniture and
coffins as needed locally. They had rooms for travelers who were well fed
at Eleanor's table. Can anyone provide me with "anything" more
on the Buckhorn, once a "landmark" in Charleston and the William
SOLLARS family?. I would be most happy to exchange information with any
even remotely interested interested.
