Looking for Joseph Wagner b. 1838/39 IA or IL.  He married Alice R. Schwartz c 1876, probably in Woodbury Co.

Schwartz/Wagner/Graham b. 20 Feb 1857 in Montogomery Co., IA d. 8 Aug 1942 in Waterloo, Black Hawk Co., IA.  Alice appears with Joseph Wagner in 1880 and 1895 in Woodbury Co.

 I am looking for information on my paternal gr grandfather. I think he was born in Iowa but I have no b. or d. dates. I know he was in Sioux City on 15 April 1891 when his daughter, my grandmother, Florence Wilbur was born. Fred was married to Rosa Reyes, from Savannah, Georgia, b. 1854 and d. 1940's in Savannah. In the 1900 census Florence was 9 and was in an orphanage in Savannah. I think Fred probably died between 1891 and 1900 and her mother brought her back to Savannah. In 1900 Rosa was a boarder. I cannot find Fred in any census

Samuel D. Williams died in Sioux City (911 1/2 Fourth Street) late July 1956 at age 96.  He was born in Boone County 19 Feb 1860 which made him 96 at his death.  Samuel graduated from teachers college in Emporia, KS, and probably taught in Parson, KS, Omaha, Chariton, Sioux City, and the state of Washington....according to the inscriptions on the back of old photos. 

The obit said Samuel was survived by a nephew Paul Williams, of Boone.  Actually, at least 2 adult grandchildren and five grgrandchildren also survived.  Samuel must have been estranged from his son Frank (1882 Parson, KS-1948 Fresno, CA) as no one remembers any talk about him at all.  The obit also said he came to Sioux City about 52 years before his death.  Actually, I have a copy of the invoice for purchasing a plot at Logan Cemetery in the late 1890s, but know he was in Washington in 1921.

Looking for any knowledge of Samuel D. Williams.

Looking for information on Henry Barnes Williams, Sioux City, Ia, Grant, Ia, later moved to Cedar Co. Nebraska and died there in 1891. Henry was Civil War vet. Henry's son was David Andrew Williams, born in Iowa, either Sioux City or Grant, Iowa. David's son was LeRoy Williams, my grandfather. David Williams died in Yankton, South Dakota. I would like to find the roots to this family line. Henry Williams is as far back as I can go. Henry was born in North Carolina......some have listed him as being born in 1835, but if you go by the 1880 Census, Woodbury Co, City, Grant, he states his age as being 56 yrs, and that would put his date of birth in 1824.........Here is what I have gathered from a book published by one of the Winterringers

Sarah Jane Winterringer, Daughter of Moses B. Winterringer and Mary Frost. Sarah Jane Winterringer was born, 8 Jan 1848, in Fredericktown, Oh., the daughter of Moses Byram Winterringer and Mary E. Frost. She moved with her family, around 1853, to Cedar, Ia. There she attended school and helped around the family farm. Her father, who had enlisted in the Civil War, brought a buddy home from camp. His name being Henry Barnes Williams. After courting Sarah for a time, they were married on 21 May 1863 in Sioux City, Ia. Henry had been born in 1835 (1824- according to 1880 census) in North Carolina. To this marriage seven children were born, the first three in Iowa. David in 1865, Elizabeth in 1867, and Nellie in 1869. Nettie, Martha, Eldora and then their son, David O. was born 16 Feb 1888 in Cedar Co., Ne. Daniel died in 1976. Henry passed away in 1891 in Cedar Co, Ne. and Sarah Jane died 20 Aug 1920 at Yankton, S.D.

Also, David Andrew Williams passed away in Yankton, South Dakota, sometime in the early 1900's, before 1920 we know for sure.

MOSES WINTERRINGER, SARAH JANE WINTERRINGER, HENRY BARNES WILLIAMS......a special note here on Moses Winterringer and Henry Williams. They both served in the Iowa calvary in the Civil War. Thier names are on the list out of Sioux City, Iowa .

  I am looking for information on my great great grandfather Ole Waldum/Valdum. He was born in 1871 in Norway and came to this country with his parents and 6 other siblings in 1886 or so. The family lived in Minnesota and then Ole moved on to Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa around the 1890's. He married Ella Asbol about 1898 in Iowa. They had at least one child, my great grandfather, John Waldum Sept 29, 1898 in Sioux City, Iowa. Ole opened a black smith shop, possibly, across from the Sioux City stock yards around 1900. His wife died about that time from maybe tuberculosis (sp?) or from childbirth with a daughter? We aren't' quite sure. Ole died June 1972 in Sioux City, Woodbury county, Iowa and so did his son John Wladum, died in December 1972 within months of his dad. John married Gladys Pearl Casey abt 1920 and had 3 children; Orville, Robert, & Dorothy. All were born in Sioux City around 1920-1923. From what I know John and Gladys divorced by about 1925 or so and Ole came to live with his son and grandchildren. Any information on this family is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am looking for my great-grandparents' two young children who died in infancy in the late 1800's. From the 1885 census data, I know one was Sarah Widmann born in 1883. I believe the other child was born and died before 1885. I think this because my grandmother was born in 1887 and her sister in 1885, and I had the idea that both children who died were older. I am pretty certain the first child was born after 1880, since I cannot locate the Widmann's on the 1880 census, which would be the case if they did not have children (only indexed if children under 11 are present). I do not even know if the other child was a boy or a girl. The parent's names are William and Elizabeth Widmann. Any help you could lend would be most gratefully received. I forgot to mention that they lived in Sioux City at this time. I know they lived there in 1885 (census) and in 1892 (directory) but not in 1895 (census). Thanks!

I have obtained from ancestry.com a copy of his civil war pension file application which shows that he applied in Iowa. Some family "history" that has been passed down indicates that he robbed at train and got away with it UNTIL his daughter got mad at him because he didn't want her to marry a particular guy and she called the authorities and turned him in...I don't know how true it is or where it might have happened at.

Preston of Sioux City and Mrs. Martin Dumphy also of that city - which may be clues.  I was hoping someone there might be able to check a city directory for that approximate date (1925-1935) to verify Robert's presence.  He would have been approximately 50 years old then.  Any information  pertaining to Robert would be much appreciated, and I would be happy to pay for search time, of course.

Looking for information on PETER WALPOLE. b. approx 1845-52, Ireland. Marriage license applied for in Woodbury Co., to SARAH FRANKLIN, Apr 1871, but were married in Plymouth Co.(?) Had five known living children: Edward b 1871 in IA, James b. 1875 in MN, Peter T. b. 1877 in MN, Nellis, b. 1879 in IA, Mary/Mamie, b. 1881 in WY. Story #1: Peter abandons the family and takes one or two boys with him and was never heard from again. Story #2: Peter was killed somewhere between Sloan and Hornick during a cattle drive (?) My best guess for time period for either story would be somewhere between 1881 and 1895, as youngest child was living with a different family in SD in 1895. At one point Sarah is remarried to "unknown' GOWLING. Thanks in advance to anyone who can supply additional information.

I would like to find genealogy information on a brother of my grandfather that lived in Sioux City, IA.

3 sons of Garrett and Carolyn BARNETT WILLIAMSON found there way from Preble Co, OH to the Sioux Ciity, Sloan, Salix, Climbing Hill, Correctionville area in the late 1800's. 1) Philemon Wesley WILLIAMSON m. Henriette RYSDAM 26 NOV 1896 in Sloan, IA. They moved on to SD in 1910. 2) Jesse C. WILLIAMSON (my grandfather) m. Cora May KERR 10 JAN 1895 in Macks Creek, MO and was in Salix, IA in 1902, because my aunt Carolyn was born there. He was in Correctionville, IA in 03 OCT 1906, because my dad Ray L was born there. He was still in Correctionville, IA in 20 DEC 1908, because my uncle Jesse Leroy was born there. 3) Lewis (Louis) WILLIAMSON is the mystery. Undocumented information is: b. 19 MAR 1874 in Preble Co., OH, married Jessie MCDONALD (from the Sioux City area) d. in FEB 1920 He was driving a tank wagon when it overturned and crushed him. (Sloan/Salix) A daughter of Philemon Wesley states that she can remember of talking to a postmaster in the Sloan/Salix area that remembers the roll over and death. Lewis( Louis) and Jessie had 2 children. They think their names were Gladysand Deward. Documented Information: In Sioux City, IA volunteered to look at the Sioux City directories and found this: The 1909 Sioux City Directory shows: Mrs. Jessie Williamson boards at 610 Perry. The 1908 Directory show the same thing. The 1907 Directory lists: Lewis C Williamson, salesman, resides at 707 Iowa. Jennie McDonald, boards 610 Perry James A. McDonald, checker, C.M. & St P. Ry(Railway) 610 Perry. George McDonald Jr., apprentice, board 610 Perry. George McDonald, wks C. S. Holman, residence 610 Perry. The 1906 Directory lists: Jennie McDonald, clerk T. Ss. Martin & Co., boards 709 Bluff George McDonald, washer, C. S. Holman, residence, 709 Bluff George H. McDonald, apprentice, boards, 709 Bluff James A. McDonald, checker, C.M. & St. P. Ry., boards 709 Bluff  The 1904-1905 Directory lists: George McDonald, washer, G. E. Westcott, residence, 709 Bluff George H. McDonald, laborer, boards 709 Bluff James A. McDonald, laborer, boards 709 Bluff Jennie McDonald, rooms 523 Pearl  The 1903-1904 Directoroy lists: George E McDonald, laborer G. E. Westcott, residence, 316 Sioux George H. McDonald, laborer, boards, 316 Sioux James A. McDonald, laborer, boards, 316 Sioux Jennie McDonald, clerk Pfohl & Smith, boards 511 Jackson Jennie McDonald, rooms 523 Pears. Also found this at the library from the Sioux City Journal: The first roll he picked to look in was the Jan 30, 1920 to Feb 29, 1920 and I�m assuming he didn�t look any further. Article from Sioux City Journal Feb 2, 1920. FORMER RESIDENT DEAD, L. C. Williamson succumbs to Heart Disease in Minneapolis. L. C. Williamson, aged 46, a former resident of Sioux City, died last Friday in a hospital in Minneapolis of heart disease. While living in Sioux City, he was a traveling salesman for the Independent Oil Company. He had lived in Minneapolis for a year. The body arrived in Sioux City yesterday and will be buried in Graceland Park cemetery at 2 o�clock this afternoon. Mr. Williamson is survived by his widow, a daughter, Gladys and a son, Deward. The children have been making their home in Sioux City. A perpetual calender tells me that Feb 2 1920 was a Monday so �last Friday� would have been Jan 30, 1920. If my dob, 19 March 1874,  is correct, the age in the paper (46) is only 2 months off. The stories are so different. Last summer we were in Sioux City, so my wife and I went out to Graceland Park Cemetery. The computer print out in the stand outside the building did not have L. C. listed, but the caretaker looked in the book and found a L. C. Williamson listed for LOT 113, Rose Hill section. We located the grave, but we failed to get a copy of the entry in the book-name of purchaser of the plot, etc.

I am interested in finding out more about a relative of mine, John Williams of Moville. The only information I have about him is that he died during or around early 1926. I believe he was a brother to Harry J. Williams, of Horderley, Shropshire, England. He was an uncle to my great grandmother, from England. I also believe his estate was handled by attorneys Edward M. Corbett and Carlton M. Corbett of Sioux City. Their location was listed as 509-510 Security Bank Building, Sioux City. I would be interested to learn more about any connections he may have had in Woodbury county, including information on where he is buried. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
