UPSHAW, LOOMIS, Nancy
C. in Williams, AZ 2/18/99
Can you tell me if there
is a death index or index to the cemetery interments in Abilene. I have
a letter to my great grandmother Luella Loomis from her uncle Francis Marion
(F.M.) Upshaw, dated Nov 16, 1899. I believe he was ill, depressed
and said he was getting out of the business he owned which was a furniture
business he had for many years. His wife was Juliett or Julia Reed
Upshaw and I think she died in 1900. I think he may have died prior
to that or my gr grandmother would not have saved that one particular letter.
Do you have any suggestions for me in locating this information.
I sure would appreciate your help. I'm also hoping to find the burial
for my grgrandfather but I don't know when he died. William Loomis as they
lived in Abilene and my grandmother got her teaching degree there. My grgrandmother
evidently returned to Peoria after that as she is buried there in the old
Springdale Cemetery but he is not. I would really appreciate any help or
suggestions you can give me. Thanks in advance.

you have any information or know where I could find any I would be more
then appreciative. One of my goals is to find out who is George Washington

My husband's great-grandfather,
George Stadler, left St Gallen, Switzerland in response to a newspaper
advertisement offering land in Kansas. George, his wife Barbara,
and their five children settled in New Basel on October 20, 1873.
They had 10 children in all, five of which were born in New Basel and some
of which died in New Basel. The family moved to Helvetia, West Virginia
in April, 1884. Are there any birth or baptismal or death records
for this period? George's cousin, Elias Baumann was a preacher in
New Basel. Are there any church records? George corresponded
with the Mangold family for several years after moving to West Virginia.
Is there any information available on New Basel?

Parish, Barnett
or Buchan,McGill and Stewardson Barbara
Clarkson 2/8/99
To tell the truth, I am
not sure where they lived. I have seen a Parish and rest in
Dickinson, Flora T. and in Johnson Co. on 1857-60 census index. All we
have is the 1860 , 1857 census index and was guessing by that. Jane and
Mary (twins) had a brother who left them some money. He wrote the
will in 1903 listing that they lived in Kansas. No one has ever found
where. He left money to Jane Parish and Mary Barnett with James Stewardson.
Not sure how Stewardson is related. Some people think it was really Buchan
and he just forgot.
