In the Grant County (Wi) Herald on Feb 11, 1873 reported the following:

A copy of the Sioux Valley (Iowa) Reporter is received, giving a full account of the death by freezing of John Sparks and a man named Sanders, near Correctionville in Iowa on that terrible Tuesday in January.
These unfortunate men were formerly residents of Clifton in this county. The full account of there suffering and frightful death will appear in the next Herald.

The full account was never in the Wi paper. The Sanders man is my GG grandfather and I would like the full story. I live in Dallas, Tx. I traveled to Wi and that was the only info I could get. Any info would be helpful

His uncle used to own a drapery shop that was located on Peirce St in 1960. Also he had a sister (name unknown) who moved to Denver CO, also His mother (name unknown) lived in Sioux City. The last time My father had spoken to him was in a letter in 1960, which stated he was married to a woman (marie) in Yokosuka Japan, June 1956. Also he tells how he spent much time in San Diego CA where his father lived while he was stationed there in the navy. In Oct 1960 he was stationed in Japan. I would like to know if he is still alive, and if so where can I get a hold of him. Please send names and phone #'s of anyone that may be able to help me locate. Thank you and God bless!

HAYNES b 1-18-1848 d 1926 m Catherine AMICK b 1848 (?) d 6-1930 believe they are both buried in Russellville, WVA but would like to know for sure. My grandfathers memorial book says the service was at the Christy Funeral Home in Sioux City, Ia. Laid to rest on 1-5-1952 In the memorial book some of the visitors were: Mrs. G L HAYNES , G C HAYNES, Mr. and Mrs. Dave COPENHAVER, Mr. William AMICK and Mr Harley AMICK If you recognize any of these names please let me know.

This a request for information about the Sadler family, particularly that of Horace Ashton Sadler and his descendants. Horace Sadler was known to have lived in Sioux City during his adult years. It is thought that he owned an iron producing company during the first quarter of the 20th century. Born in Flemingsburg Kentucky in 1880, he moved with his family to South Haven Kentucky in 1887. In that same year his mother died. Her name was Ella Fountain Sadler. His father, Charles Sadler, later married a woman known by me only as "Mrs. Porter". The moved soon after to Kansas City Missouri. I do not know when Horace Sadler arrived in Sioux City, but he was apparently quite successful in his iron business.

Phillip Shomber born abt. 1830 migrated to Iowa from Berlin, Pa. He was an ordained Methodist Minister. He married a Mrs. Bowers ( we aren't sure where) , who had children from a previous marriage. She died about 1890 near Jackson, Nebraska and is buried there. Phillip was still alive in 1896 and we think was living in the Sioux City area, and probably died and is buried there. Phillip Shomber and Mrs. Bowers had three children together: 1 William Henry Shomber was born September 2, 1852 ( We would like to know where?)2 Norman Shomber was born in Iowa, and 3Judson Shomber was born in Iowa. William Henry Shomber ( my husband's great- grandfather) married Mary Elizabeth Mabry and their first child was Mary Birdie Shomber, who we have been told was born in Sioux City, Iowa. We do not have any proof of this and would love to have some documentation. We are searching for information about: 1. Phillip Shomber's residence in Iowa, death and place of burial. 2. Mrs. Bowers' maiden name, the date and place of their marriage, 3. William Henry Shomber's place of birth, 4. Place and date of marriage of William Henry Shomber and Mary Elizabeth Mabry 5. Record of Mary Birdie Shomber's birth. She was probably born between 1875 and 1880. I would be happy to exchange information with anyone researching the Shomber name. Thanks to generous relatives I have an extensive file on the Shomber family

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.
