MY ANCESTOR MARTIN KEY PISTOLE SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR AND DIED ON MAY 20TH 1870. WE KNOW HE WAS BURIED IN FIELDEN IL. WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS IN CASS COUNTY. DO YOU HAVE ANY DOCUMENTS GOING BACK THAT FAR OR KNOW HOW I COULD GET HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE. WE DO NOT KNOW WHO HIS PARENTS WERE AND WE THINK HE WAS BORN IN TENNESSEE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THE CEMETARY WHERE HE IS BURIED, BUT SURE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. DO YOU HAVE LISTS OF CEMETARIES IN FIELDEN AND DO THEY HAVE A RECORD OF BURIALS IN THIS YEAR? ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU SANDRA SCHAMEL

Dears sirs,
I am attempting to find descendants of F. Krohe Sr. and his wife Sophia who arrived in Beardstown in 1837. They had six children including Fred, Henry, Rose and Mary. I have a large clock dial which has their family history and names hand written on the back and would like to know if any surviving family members would be interested in it. Part of the text reads "this clock has been in the Krohe Family for 50 years Jan 1890." I am a clock collector and discovered the text while cleaning a layer of black paint from the back of the dial.
The dial goes with a period wooden clock movement which has been partially restored. If the family is not interested in the item it might be of interest to a local museum or Historical Society in your area. It certainly is worth preservation and is an interesting peice of history
Any assistance you can render in a suitable disposition of this item would be appreciated.

I am researching the family of John F. Carls II born 1840 in Hanover, Germany. Came to Beardstown in 1845 or 46 with at least two of his children, Marie Elenora and John F. III. . John F II apparently was killed in an accident shortly after they arrived in Cass County. Marie Elenora married Carl Jokisch in 1850. John F III married Mary C. Blohm in 1869. We have additional information we would like to share with anyone interested. We are also looking for any information anyone may have.

My grandpa, Elliott D Garner, and his brothers bought a house in Chandlerville that is still in the family today. My question is I saw a drawn picture of the house in a book but dont recall what book it was. Someone told me it was one of the books you published. I was wanting to know if this was true and what information you have on that house. It is now owned by Wyatt and Karen Anderson, my stepfather and mother.

Actually, I am trying to find birth records for Grace b. 6/23/1902 Ashland,Cass Co., IL. to Bird and Minnie McMeins and her sister Edith Ethyl McMeins b. 3/31/1889 in Cass Co. Are there any books about families who lived in Cass Co. back then? One problem I come across is that McMeins was sometimes spelled McMeans for the same family. If you have a board you can post a note on I'd love to share with anyone interested in this family. Thank you very much for your time.

Dear Carol:
I just discovered more information regarding the family of the above mentioned ancestor. Could you please check out the following?
1. Henry McKinnell, youngest son of the above, was "shipped off" from Maize Kansas to Beardstown upon his death Sept 9, 1920. (per his death cert.) I can only suppose he is buried there with his father and mother, but there isn't a listing for him at the Oak Grove Cemetery. Perhaps there is one at the office? (certainly should have a receipt, if he ever showed up!)
2. Because of this revelation, I feel it is possible my Great-grandfather, John McKinnell (Henry Sr.'s oldest son) might have made the same journey. Although he was living in Kansas prior to 1920, I think he might have died in Missouri, between 1920-30. BUT, I suspect he too was "shipped" to Cass Co. There are a lot of spaces, unmarked, around the site.
I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks so much. (really enjoyed the Newletter!)

I am looking for additional information on James Swan and his wife Ellen Daily. I read the posting from you on April 16, 2002 and have additional info for you.
My Grandfather was Frederick Edgar Swan, son of James Swan and Ellen Retta Daily. Fred was a brother to Oscar H. Swan. There was John Adolph Swan of Beardstown and Nettie and Bertha. I have some information on them also John's family.
What I have is James Alphens Monroe Swan was born April 10, 1863 in Beardstown, Cass County. On June 26, 1881 he married Ellen Retta Daily (License # 00003745-I think). Ellen was also from Beardstown, Cass County (But I have that she was maybe born there or in Pennsylvania. James did die 4-26-1899 and was buried on 4-27-1899 in Oak Grove Cemetery, Cass County. Ellen died 6-15-1896 and was buried on 6-16-1896 in Oak Grove Cemetery, Cass County. According to Cass County deaths, they had twin babies that died 7 days before Ellen died.
I am looking for James Swan's parents also.
Ellen Daily's parents I have were John C. Daily, Sr born between 1832 - 1840 in PA married on 2-25-1860 and he died on 12-16-1912. I believe that is in Cass County. He married Margaret J. Smith born in Ireland (or around 1845 in PA. She died 9-20-1884
Ellen Daily had 6 siblings
Would like for Rhonda Randolph to contact me or the society.

I am searching for my lost grandmother. My mother and uncle were adopted together to James Dewey McKibben in the 1940s. My two aunts Peggy and Hazel were taken from the home along with three to five children that were from different fathers. Apparently the Baby Fold (adoption agency in Cass Co. that handled the adoptions of the children) has information but, will not release this to us. My mother, Marian McKibben, is now 65 and quite ill with Luekemia. I have two sons ages 7&9 years old that have some serious medical issues and I need any information that anyone might have. My Biological Grandmother, Sarah Shaw, was thrown into prison for neglect. She gave birth to another child while incarcerated. The grandchildren from all ends would like to gather any information possible. Thank You and Blessings to anyone that might be able to help us!!!

Name: James R. Lannin, Jr. <JimLannin@JimLannin.com> Date: 2007-02-11 Comments:
My great grand parents were James Lannin and his wife Martha Ann (Raycraft) Lannin who were from Ireland. I found transcribed obituary information Showing their exact dates of death on rootsweb.com which was from the March 1996 issue of the Cass County Historian. Our family was unsure of the exact dates and even the place of death for them until I stumbled upon this info. Also there was info on the death of my great uncle, Joseph Raycraft.
Also I found in your transcription of the Cass County Probate Book F, August 1861-September 1864, p.2., two entries re the death of my great-great grandfather, Thomas Raycraft. Although my great grandmother is referred to as "Martha Ann Lamman" and "Martha Lanman" and my great grandfather as "James Lanman", it is clear to me that they are my ancestors.
How can I get info (eg: Plat maps, deeds etc.) re the real property parcels referred to in the Probate Book? How can I find more info re my ancestors in Beardstown? I don't know where they were buried, for instance. I know James and Martha Ann came from Ireland, but I have been so far unsuccessful in learning their parent's names or which town they definitely came from. I am part of the FamilyTreeDNA genealogical research project, and have found relatively close "cousins" in Ireland and New Zealand. I think the info I need to trace further back might be there in Beardstown. I grew up in Illinois, but came west in 1973. I now live in Las Vegas. It is not easy to "drive down to Beardstownto do some research" as it would be if I still lived in Illinois. Can you help me?

The web site looks great and it is so good to see that Carol Orwig is the new president. She is a very wonderful person and one of the most helpful people I know in genealogy. She will do a great job of leading the organization in a positive manner. We will all benefit from her leadership. Thanks for all you do.
