PITZER

Beverley Nelson Lane January 1, 2004
A Dr. Jacob M.

Settled around Ringwood, major co. Jasper had land around Isabella, OK. In 1920 the census finds him in Reno Co. Landgon  twp again, He died there 1959, buried in Arlington cemetery also wife Dora Parker B: 1871 D: 1932.  One child, 1925 census, listed as 24, she must have been born around 1900.

GOULD

Ruth September 6, 2004
I recently saw that there were state censuses taken in KS for various years in between the usual census taken every 10 years. Is there anyone who has access to the 1905 census for Reno County? I am looking for my Great grandfather James T. Gould and his wife Sarah and children - they had 10 but I believe the youngest Willard b. 1890 and one of the older sons Charlie b. 1862 would be the only ones living with them. The 1910 census shows :

1910 Census Haven, Reno, KS
*Living next door to son Frank T. Gould & his wife & kids.
May 6,1910
Gould, Sarah  Head F W 72 Wd 51 9 children born 8 living IN PA  NY Laundress House
              Robert Son   M W 51 S IL NY IN Painter House
              Charlie  Son  M W 48 Wd 7 IL NY IN None Own Income
In 1900 Sarah was in Quincy, Adams, IL.
1900 Census Quincy, Adams, IL
4th Day of June 1900
224 North 27th
Gould, Sarah Head White Female July 1836 age 63 Wd. 9 pregnancies 8 children living b. KY Father b. PA Mother b. OH Nurse Months not employed 4
              Jay Son White Male August 1881 age 18  Single b. IL Mother b. KY Father b. NY Barber
               Willard Son White Male  June 1891 age 8 single b. IL Mother b. KY Father b. NY  At school
 
Although James was not listed in 1900 - he may have gone ahead to KS as they moved there soon after. James supposedly died in 1908 in Haven, Reno,KS and is buried in Laurel Cemetery.
I would like to know if he is listed with Sarah in 1905.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone knows where I might get a lookup for the 1905 state census - please let me know.

COBB, BOND

Tonya Smith October 21, 2004
My great grandfather, William Leonard COBB, was in Hutchinson, Reno, Kansas in 1922;  he may have been there for five years, from 1919 to 1924.  I am hoping to find any information about his time there.  I have reason to believe he was a salt or stone miner;  when he finally settled in Keetly, Wasatch, Utah he was a quartz miner.  "Dad Bill" was born in Middleport, Niagara, New York in 1900;  he was a veteran of WWI, and was a son of William Frances "Frank" COBB and Mary E. BOND.  Any information would be gratefully received.

RAPHE, REPH, REEB

John V. Reeb October 27, 2004
I am hoping to make contact with any descendants of Charles Raphe who was born "Charles Reph" 20 March 1843 in Northampton County, PA to Simon Reph and Maria Anthony (a.k.a. Anthoni). Charles was baptized 21 May 1843 in Christ Church U.C.C. in Moore Township, Northampton County, PA. Charles was married to Sarah Anthony, daughter of Thomas Anthony and Levina (Carolina) Reph.  Sarah was born 25 June 1845 and baptized 1 August 1845 at Christ Church. I have learned that Charles and Sarah Raphe are buried in Salem Cemetery in Reno County, Kansas. I have been involved in research for the Reeb family many years and have documented the lineage (ancestry) of Charles and Sarah Reph/Raphe back in time to the mid 1600s. Reph & Raphe are derivatives of the original Germanic surname REEB.  Any information will be appreciated very much.
