Your website is wonderful. The most comprehensive that I have run into.
My great great great grandparents are buried in the Good Hope Cemetery according to your listing. They are Samuel Pitt (England to New York to Michigan to Iowa) and Mary Phillips Dewey Pitt b.1817- unknown (New York to Michigan to Iowa). The fun fact about Mary is that in 1880 census she was "boarding" with my great great grandparents in Washington Territory. That is a monumental trip for that time! And she was 63! I can't believe she did that.
The S. P. Pitt and Pluma M. Pitt in the cemetery are their son and daughter-in-law Samuel Perry Pitt and his wife Pluma (aka Plooma) M. Sargent. I was surprised that they were buried there as they had moved out of Iowa by 1880 (Nebraska) and in 1910 were living in Idaho. It appears that Bennie and Wessie might have been their children.
You have cited a "burial record" in the website and I am curious where and what that is.
My great great grandmother Esther May Pitt (New York to Michigan to Iowa to Washington) was married and had 2 children in Iowa, Alfred E. Whitehouse in 1873 and Edward H. Whitehouse in 1875 with her first husband Alfred Eldoris Whitehouse (Maine to Iowa to Washington). They then moved to Washington Territory. I am not sure where and when Alfred passed, but I assume in Washington as I can't imagine that she would have moved alone. In 1878 she married my great great grandfather Peter L. Kuchen (France) in Washington Territory.
Were marriage and birth records kept during those years and if so at county level? I think that they lived either in Woodbury or Cherokee county. One of their other sons William Ralph Pitt was living in Cherokee county in 1870. He eventually ended up in California by way of Idaho, Washington and Oregon. I think that he was the "mover" as he is always the first one to move! The 1870 census shows they had at least 2 of their children in Iowa in 1865 and 1867.
In a nutshell, I am requesting the locations, if and where, birth, death and marriage records were kept from 1870 on.
I have only just started on this quest and am having a lot of fun finding out where this part of my family came from and ended up. Like in 1870 Samuel 60, "minister of the gospel" and Mary 53 keeping house and their children Francis 20, Artist - Esther M. 25, Schoolteacher, and Hattie 12, at school were all living in Lansing, Michigan and yet, even at that age, they picked up and moved to Iowa! By the way all reports have it that Samuel was an Episcopal Methodist minister. I don't know if Esther ever taught school in Iowa, but she did resume teaching in the Ellensburg, Washington area.
If any one knows anything about the Pitt family I would love to hear it good or bad.
I take it that Iowa must have been a land of opportunity at that time. I have found that you have to bone up on the history of our country to try to help figure out all this moving some of our families did. The Pitt's seem to have been a really restless lot! They are all over the country.
Thank you so much for all of the work you have done on this website. It is great. I visit about every 2 or 3 months to see if you have anything new. There seemed to be a lot this time. The history is interesting!

I am interested in locating the following person (s) Constantine (aka "Gus") Pelela, Pelelo, Pilela, Pilelo, Pylela, Pylelo. The six spellings are all possible. He was called "Gus", but his daughter, my mother-in-law, thinks his real name was Constantine. Also, I am in search of his wife, nee, Marie Zarembowski. Both immigrated to this country, he from Belarus, and she, from Russia in the early part of the 20th century...1906-1909. She came with her father and younger brother, and he came with his brother, name unknown. They lived in Sioux City until their death. He worked at a packing house (unsure if it was Armour or Swift or both). They had six children, three of which (all the boys) spelled their last name Pelelo, and the three girls all spelled it Pelela. Thank you in advance.

I am searching for info on Homer W. Palmer, who lived in Sioux City, Woodbury Co. at least from 1910 to 1917. He worked for the Great Northern Railroad during those years. He married Evelyn A. Seaton in 1913. Evelyn moved with her family to Sioux City in 1900. (Her Parents were Martin (Mortin)(born 1854) and Amanda Alice (born 1857) Seaton. Evelyn's grandfather, William Seaton (born 1830) may have come with her family to Sioux City) Homer and Evelyn had two sons, LeRoy Bernard, who also worked for the railroad, born 11-07-1913, died 5,1981 and Dale. Homer and his son LeRoy are buried together in Sioux City in Graceland Park. Evelyn later remarried Francis Drake and is buried in another cemetery in Sioux City. We think her parents and grandparents may be buried there also. I live in North Carolina now and would really appreciate any info. If anyone can help me, please email me thank you.

My grandfather Worley Pafford was killed at the Cudahy Pkg co. in Sioux City on April 20, 1927. I have his death certificate and it say's he died of a skull fracture at Cudahy. I have heard that some scaffolding broke and that is why he fell. At the time he was a single parent of 5 children. He is buried in Potter's Field at Floyd cemetery. I was just wondering if Cudahy would have any records of his death and what happened. I am guessing that he was buried there because no one was sure what to do with his body and his wife had abandoned him and the children. My father Theodore Pafford was 7 when his father died and was too young to remember. I would like any suggestions on how to get any other information on his death. Thanks, Cindy

My grandfather Worley Pafford died from a fall at the Cudahy Pkg. in Sioux City on April 21, 1927. He and my grandmother Zola (Boyer) Pafford came to Iowa from Smythe Co. Virginia in 1919. In the 1920 census it lists them in Sloan along with their first 3 children - Heath and Hazel b.Va and my father Theodore born in Whiting in 1919. Two more children Mildred and Wanda were born in Iowa after 1920. When Worley died he was raising their 5 children without their mother Zola as she had left them. I would like to get information from the 1925 census on whether Zola was with them at this time or if there were any articles in the local paper on his death. On his death record a Mrs. Viola Shoop was the informant. The children were separated when they were all sent to Sugar Grove, Va to stay with relatives until Zola came to get them. They then came to Omaha, Ne. I do know that there were Boyer relatives living in Sloan but have no first names. Thanks for any information .

I would like to locate descendants or other relatives of Sylvester PITTMAN, b. Abt. 1864, probably in Champaign Co., IL; d. Abt. 1943, probably at Sioux City, IA. Before 1900 he married Cora E. TIPPS who may have died about 1950 in Sioux City. They resided in Sioux City at least from 1915. They are believed to have had at least 2 children, Fred L. PITTMAN and Sarah PITTMAN (though these may have been otherwise related). Fred lived in the house at 2533 S. Royce after Cora was no longer listed there. Fred was apparently married twice, 1st to Marjorie . They seem to have been divorced about 1937. Fred later married a Wilma [___]. Sylvester PITTMAN was the son of Leonard PITTMAN and Sarah A. MOUNCE of Champaign, IL.

Researching the ancestry of JAMES KEITH PETERSON, born Sloan, Iowa on February 12, 1920. His parents were Everett and May (or Mae) Peterson. May's maiden name was possibly Shoupe or Shupe. JAMES spent his youth in the Sloan area. He attended Sloan High School until 1937 (non-graduate, completing 10th grade). He joined the U.S. Army in early 1942 (Feb?). JAMES married Helen Ann Divish of Perrinton, Michigan in August of 1946. They had nine children (oldest-to-youngest): Barbara, James Jr., Sandra & Sharon (twins), Bonnie, Donna, Debra, Richard, and Pamela. JAMES was discharged from the military at Selfridge AFB, Michigan, on November 11, 1948. The family returned to Iowa, where James Jr. was born July 15, 1949 in Sioux City (the only child born in Iowa). The family moved to Michigan in 1950 or 51, then on to the Los Angeles, California area in 1956, joining his parents and several siblings who had relocated there earlier. Some of us older children seem to remember visiting JAMES' grandparents in Iowa in the early 1950's. They lived directly across from an active railroad line on the edge of town, possibly Sloan. We extend our heartfelt thanks to any and all who can help us in this, our first tentative attempt at researching the Peterson family tree.
