Julie,

I would also suspect the comment made about the Sioux. You can
Google "Sioux Uprising Minnesota" and find plenty of information
about that area and time frame.

Who knows, it could have been a combination of many factors, a tired
oler man who wasn't up to the less civilized conditions in Minnesota
(highly undersettled at the time compared to parts of Iowa), maybe
knew something was physically wrong, couldn't take the cold, and
just wanted to go "home."

he died.  I'm wondering if he got sick in MN and "went home to
die".  He died in 1862 (unk cause) and was buried in West Lawn
Cemetery in Glidden Co. near his mother who died in 1853.   His son
John (who lived his entire life in Mankato until his death in 1902)
is also buried in Glidden along with two other brothers.  Maybe it
was a family plot.

We are looking for more history and possibly
decendants of David Price, born 1st March 1829 and
married Mary Jones, llanon, Cardiganshire in April
1849. They emigrated to the USA from Cardiganshire,
Wales in the late 1840s They had children named James
D, Evan D, Enoch, Lizzie (to become Mrs P G Roberts
later in life) Annie Pugh and a nother young daughter
who fell into an open fire and died of her burns. They
moved to Cambria, Blue Earth County from Jackson
Furnace, Ohio.

David Price was my great, great-grandfather's brother
and my grandfather, Thomas Price was the spitting
immage of James Price, David's son!

Descendents of the Price family, Mervin and his son
Winton E Jones are/were the 4th & 5th generation of
the Price family still farming in Blue Earth County in
the 1970s but we do not know the name of the farm!

They wre all faithfull members of HOREB Presbyterian
Church.

Anyone else researching this Welsh family with
information to share please?

Julie,

My great-great grandfather, John F. MIller came from
Luxembourg some time either in the late 1850's or
early 1860's. From what I can tell from him or my
great grandfather, John Elfert, many moved along the
railway lines between Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.
Many were farmers looking for land to work or land to
rework. I don't know if John Miller had problems with
the Souix while living in Redwood Co. from 1870 to
some time in the 1880's, but he did pick up and move
the whole family to Mankato where he later died. The
late 1850's through to the 1880's was a time when
Minnesota was changing from a territory to being a
state. Much of the movement was on account of failed
farming and starvation during the long hard winters.
This may not help, but Iowa is slightly warmer than
Minnesota if only a degree or two.

Someone recently sent me an email about some books and material she
found that used to belong to the Dunbeck family.  If you know someone
from the family have them drop me a note and I'll put them in touch
with the lady that has the books.

-Todd

Recently I visited my brother and his wife in Escondido California.
I was looking through their bookcases one day and came upon some very
old books and ledgers that apparently belonged to a family named
Dunbeck.  There are several such books.  So I brought one of them
back with me to Fairfax, VA intending to get the word out that this
material existed, in case there were any descendants interested.  My
brother said they found the books in the attic of their former home
on High Grove Drive, Escondido, CA.  My sister-in-law could not bear
to throw them away, but she did not know what to do with them.  I
took some notes on a few of the books as shown below. But one of the
most interesting finds is a book the funeral home gave to his wife
(?) upon the death of Joseph H. Dunbeck, who according to this book
was buried on March 23, 1932 in Beauford Cemetery in Blue Earth, MN.
His place of birth was Paris, France; born on 18 July 1884; d. 21
March 1932.  The former owner of these books appears to be Ida Mae
Dunbeck (Joseph's wife?).

There is a page of signatures of family attending the funeral, and
there is a little history of his father and mother, etc.  I took some
notes on a few of the other books my brother found in that attic:

1.  "The Farmer's Manual and Complete Accountant" compiled by
Professor J.L. Nichols, Naperville, Ill. (1897)

2.  A small bible, inside cover reads "Sada C. Groll(?), Presbyterian
Sunday School, Wells, MN (1899)

3.  A book of poetry ; inside cover is written "Ida Mae Dunbeck,
Beauford, MN"

4.  A memorial edition of poetry and song by William Cullen Bryant;
inside is written: "Miss Clara A. Taylor, July 1, 1884, Hartford, CT"

5.  An accounts ledger from C.G. Spaulding, Dealer in Grain, Coal,
Farm Produce & Poultry; it had the names James R. Dunbeck and Alfred
A. Dunbeck in them.

I am looking for an address or phone listing for Clinton Memorial
Park. If anyone has this information or has an idea how I can get it
please let me know.
I am also looking for any information on Theodore E. Wells b. May 30,
1903 in the state of Illinois d. May 18, 1961  and his wife Lyla I.
Wells b.March 2, 1906   d. January 11, 1963(I don't know her madian
name). I do know that both Theodore & Lyla are buried at Clinton
Memorial Park. I have Theodore on the 1920 & 1930 census, living in
Clinton County, Clinton, Iowa. I would love to find out more on
Theodore E. Wells. Thanks to all for taking the time to read my post.

I have posted some new photos I have. I could use some help possitively
identifying some of

and
Louis...but the rest I only have names.

I just realized that I said my husband's brother inlaw
was the great grandson of George.  I meant George
Bentley LAMP; not George PERRY.  I will contact Blue
Earth Historical Society for more information.  Yes, I
have see the cemetery list.  I wish there were lists
available of all cemeteries.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,

    I am attempting to verify if James Wodsworth CORDELL (CORDILL) was
a physician in Blue Earth County around lake crystal in the late
1800's. I have his date of death as 13 May 1896. Any suggestions on
how to verfy this would be appreciated. I am also trying to locate a
death certificate for him so far unsucessfully.


Rob

I am trying to find out death/burial information for JAMES SAMUEL
PERRY (aka Samuel James Perry). He died sometime between 1869 and
1880. His last known whereabouts is in Winnebago, Faribault Co MN in
1869. Between 1854 and 1869 he and his family (sp Lydia (SMITH) Perry
lived in Le Sueur, Sibley, and Nicollet Counties. In the 1870 census
the children were living with different families (DYER and GARBIN) in
Blue Earth County. In 1880 his wife and a daughter were in Dakota
Territory (now ND) at Ft Buford and Lydia was listed as a widow.
Children: Charles S. PERRY (moved to St Paul), Alice (Perry) KEITH (of
the Sterling Center Keiths), Allen Perry (moved to SD), George H Perry
(married Anna LAMP of Sterling Center, storekeeper in Blue Earth Co
and removed to ID), William H Perry (moved to Mpls), Sarah E. (Perry)
JOHNSON (married Fred Johnson and lived for a while in Amboy MN), and
2 young children who died and are buried in Winnebago. Any help is
appreciated.

                             Thanks! Karlene Langan

Hello, Karlene,

Many thanks for your very helpful reply.  It does look to me that the
Historical Society may well have the records that I will need for this
particular search and the information I'm looking for.  Having a good
contact there is just terrific!  Thank you very much.  I will
definitely get in touch with her.

I like the handle: MN Snow Angel!  I'll have to try to think up
something as good.

Thank you again, and best of luck ...

Dear Blue Earth Co. Geneologists:

I am interested in securing information regarding a relative on my
mother's side who lived and died near Good Thunder, in Blue Earth Co.
  His name was Frankie Palmer, son of Oren Palmer and Hattie Palmer
(born: Harriette Houk,)  Frankie was born in 1873 and died in 1881.
He is buried in Sterling Cemetary south of Good Thunder.

The question is how I might go about uncovering details of his very
sad and most untimely death.  He is quite probably the boy about whom
many different versions of a story about his death circulate in the
extended family.  I would like to lay to rest all the rumors and flase
aspects of these stories, and provide the family with the true
details.  It is possible that a different son, who died later in
Washington state, could be the boy.  However, I am quite convinced
that this story is indeed about Frankie, from Good Thunder.

He was struck by the train as he and his grandfather were walking on a
a trestle, surely the trestle the remnants of which still exist over
the Maple River just south-east of Good Thunder, on the old railroad
bed of the Chicago, Minneapolis, and St. Paul RR between Mapleton and
Good Thunder.  He was trapped on an elevated trestle when the train came.

Does any one know, or have suggestions, for sources that I might tap
using Blue Earth Co. records or history to search for this story?
Find a Obit.?  Secure a death certificate (not sure that my query
qualifies as having "material interest," which BE Co. appears to
require)?  Search a library's records, or those of one or more
histories of BE Co. (do any exist)?

Anything you might suggest would be helpful.  Many thanks.
