Subject: DICKERSON SURNAME----CEMETERY LOOKUP
Dated: Thursday, June 29, 2000 6:29 PM
From: Gary James
Would you please check the Timberlake cemetery listings for the surname
DICKERSON for me, please? I'm looking for any DICKERSON that lived in Goshen
Twp., but am specifically interested in finding an Isaac's final place of
rest. He married a BARRICKLOW and it seems that I remember seeing that name
when I visited my gx2grandparents graves at that cemetery a while back.
Isaac moved his family from OH in 1864 onto a farm on sec 4, Goshen Twp. I
have found a John C. buried at Oakridge, but no Isaac.
Thanks in advance for any assist.

From: Robyn Ashton
My GGGrandmother is Margaret (McGinnis) Roby (b. ~1857 d. ?) and was married
to John Milton Roby (b. 1850, d. 1916). I believe the two were divorced
prior to 1895, perhaps in Keokuk Co. She has pretty much dropped out of
site. Anyway, a distant relative told be Margaret m. Charlie Schainburger
and that they are buried in St. Mary's. I wrote St. Mary's (the one in
Muscatine) and have not heard back after about 2 months. Anyway, the only
other clue is that Margaret died before 1949.
I was hoping to find a cemetery record and then search for the death record
and obit...
Any help/advice you can offer would be very much appreciated.

I am trying to locate my great grandfather, Kuno Belling. I believe he had

with a family named Vogel. Kuno came over when he was one year old around
1850. He married in 1888 when he was 35 years old in Pope County, AR
according to his marriage license. My aunt thinks he lived in Muscatine
County.. but, I have not found any proof of this. I think one lady was
named Agnes Vogel and one was Laura Vogel; however, I have no basis for
this except for aging aunts memory which I do hope is accurate.

Moved to Harlan, Shelby Co., in 1895 and raised his family.....have

Alex was the son of Richard and Angeline (Henning) SMITH (married in
Muscatine Co., pos. Atalissa,1860) .
Richard came to Muscatine Co. from Ohio, but I don't know where in Ohio,
and was settled in Harlan, Shelby Co...by 1900.
Richard's first wife Angeline died in Muscatine Co., 1866, and is
buried there at Timberlake Cem. along with their first child, Elizabeth.
They had, Alexander, Jared/Jarret, Elizabeth as far as I know. Have
never found out anything about Jared . Angeline was the daughter of
John HENNING and Adeline TARR, who were in Cedar Co., 1850 Census.
He 2nd married Henrietta MEYERS, 5 Aug 1867 in Muscatine Co., they had a
daughter Adeline. Henrietta died in Muscatine Co., but I don't know
where she is buried, or anything about her. The "Shelby Co. Past and
Present", has Richard married to Henrietta SEXTON as his second
marriage. Don't know where the SEXTON comes in at.
There are a Jarrett and Elizabeth SMITH buried at Timberlake Cem. in the
same area as Angeline.......I wonder if they are related since Richard
and Angeline named their children Jarrett and Elizabeth.
If anyone is researching these families and can add to my information, I
would be forever grateful. Thank you, Linda Jenkins Wensel........great

From: Kathy Oaks
Searching for information on a Hiram A. WHITE. Soldier records date him in Muscatine, Bloomington Twnship, in 1870, buried in Greenwood Cemetery. His daughter, Ida Elizabeth White, is shown in the 1870 Iowa Census. I am unable to find any further information on this family. I have his birth year as between 1834 and 1836. Ida's birth date is unsure, probably between 1864 & 1870, as Hiram returned from the war in 1864 and Ida shows up in the census records for 1870. Any help would be appreciated. You can contact me at: JSmith5756@aol.com. I am desperately searching for my ancestors. Thank you. Kathy Oaks

I am searching for information on William Henry SANDER (or SANDERS) and his
wife Mary OTHMER who lived in Muscatine in 1859 through the 1880s. There is
record of a William Sanders in the 37th Iowa Inf. (out of Muscatine) but I
am not certain it was the same William Sander. As I understand it William
was an Englishman, married in Germany to Mary Othmer, and moved to the
states to Iowa because her family was in Muscatine. There are census and
military records of Augustus Othmer in the county at this time. Any
information would be helpful. Thanks.

Date: Mon 2/28/00 3:40 PM

My father-in-law's parents were John KENNEDY and Anna SCHWEITZER. His name was Richard Robert KENNEDY. He was born in Solomon, Dickinson, Kansas on 5 December 1894 as were his siblings Andrew William, Phillip and Mary Ellen. Sometime after 1900 the family returned to Muscatine. Their son Joseph KENNEDY was born there on 10 April 1905. It is my understanding they had family in the area. I am trying to obtain #1 a xeroxed copy of Joseph KENNEDY's birth certificate and #2 any information that would tell me who the parents of John KENNEDY and Anna SCHWEITZER are such as a copy of a probated will etc. Shortly after Joseph was born the family migrated to Texas where children Leo and Anna were born. What happened to the family after that is unknown. My father-in-law ended up in Tucson, Arizona and is buried there.

According to family tradition, Adam SEIBERT and his wife Magdalena SEIBERT
(born in Pa.) died in 1860 and are buried at Wilton Junction, Iowa. I did
locate Magdalena SIBERT and at least four children on the 1860 census for
Muscatine County, Milton Twp. Magdalena must have died sometime after the
enumeration, if the death date is correct. I checked what cemetery records I
could for Muscatine County but did not find either party listed. Some of the
children returned to Pa. after the death of their parents. Even if neither
parent had a will, shouldn't there have been guardians set up for the minor
children? What are the dates for such records in Muscatine County? Is anyone
else researching SEIBERTS/SIBERTS in Muscatine County? Thank you.
