Brian 19 Jan 1998
I go fishing a lot at Lake Delhi, and every time I go there I go through the
town of Buck Creek, there's this old abandoned high school and gymnasium
building. I looked on the Iowa map and a local Delaware County map, but it
didn't show Buck Creek. Did Buck Creek used to be a booming town to have a
high school and gymnasium in it?

MORSE, LAMPMAN, ROE
Gary Lampman , Dept of Chemistry, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA 98225 19 Jan 1998
My great grandfather, James. A. MORSE had a farm in section 25 (Coffin's Grove) and I have a deed that dates 1873. He moved to California in the
1920's and died there. He and his wife are buried in Oakland Cemetery in Manchester. I have some newspaper accounts published in Delaware County, but I don't know what newspaper since that was cut off from the article.
My grandfather, Henry LAMPMAN, resided in Colony Township, Section 33, in 1878 (History of Delaware Co. Iowa, 1878). He must not have been "important" since no biographical information is listed!
My great great grandfather, Lawson A. ROE, had his farm in Section 24 (Coffin's Grove), and I have copies of deeds that date 1868. Both J. A. MORSE and L. A. ROE have their biographies listed in the "History of Delaware County, Iowa," published in 1878. Must have been more important than Henry LAMPMAN!
My question has to do with Lawson A. ROE. I have no death record for him. I was wondering if it may be possible to find something on him and also his wife, Susan A. (Knight) ROE. I saw on your Web site a "ROE Cemetery" in Honey Creek Township. Could this be the same Roe?
MORSE, DRAKE

The rest are from NY & VT and all are from the time frame of 1870-1885. I will be glad to send a list of the individuals, if you are interested. I will make copies or scans for my costs, if anyone sends a request.

PEETS, BOGGS, FARRINGTON, CARPENTER
L. Usher 4 April 1998
I would like to post request on Iowa counties Buchanan, Delaware & Clayton. I believe PEETS & BOGGS & FARRINGTON were in Edgewood, Iowa. I'm also interested in Pratt County, Kansas. I believe that Frederick CARPENTER was in Washington County, NY. His daughter Eunice married Levi PEET (born Feb. 23, 1793 in Cambridge, Washington Co., NY. They had 8 children one of whom was Cornelius Tenbrook PEET born Dec. 4, 1822. He married Mary BOGGS born Jan. 5, 1823. Cornelius was a sheriff, assessor, etc. lawyer and enlisted as a private, May 1, 1864 and died in 1905. I think Cornelius was a state representative. Cornelius and Mary had 7 children I only know about Robert & Jerry Orrin (my great-grandfather,) Jerry married Ada FARRINGTON in Clayton Co. Iowa on May 26, 1878. From Iowa they moved to Minnesota. Any help you could give me would be very appreciated. I've just started working and am a babe in the woods on how to do it.

My great grandparents were among the early settlers of Delhi in the mid-1800s. The families were SWINBURNE and WHITE. One of the SWINBURNE
sons became the first mayor of the incorporated town of Delhi, and another became publisher of the "Delhi Monitor." Ward WHITE fought in the 21st Iowa Infantry during the Civil War. All are buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Delhi.
I have some old pictures of the WHITE family (there were 10 children) including a group of young ladies at the Normal Institute in Delhi 1889, one of the Delhi Public School c. 1891, and a very peculiar set of pictures of Ward WHITE and his sons taken about 1915. I say peculiar,
because in one photo the picture of a son who died several years earlier is superimposed into the group. If you have any interest in adding any of the pictures to the web site, let me know.
