I'm looking for information about a George Garver.
He was born to William A. Garver (d. 1881, Dodge Co.) and Maria
Louise (Martin) Garver (b. 1853 NY, d. 1935. Dodge Co.). I
believe William and Maria had 5 children: Kate
(Garver) Middleton, Effie Garver, Martin Garver, Unknown Garver,
and George. I have no information about George other than
mention of his name in his mother's obituary. Also, does
anyone have any information about the "Mr. Middleton"
whom Kate married? This would have been in approximately
1900. Thanks. Mary Blinn Brazill lbrazill@in-tch.com

I am researching Augusta, August, and Alvina Kottke who
came to U.S. in 1883 and settled in vicinity of Kassen, Dodge
County, Minnesota. I do not know if they came with their
parents (Julius Kottke and Amelia Pankonin Kottke) to MN or
not. I know nothing about their parents except their names,
which were listed on August's death certificate. I am
wondering if they might be on the 1885 or 1895 MN States
Census? They left several more brothers and sisters
somewhere in Germany when they immigrated to the United States.
Augusta M. Kottke was born December, 1866 in West Prussia,
Germany. She married John Trapp and lived in Wasioja area,
I believe. They had a son named Walter, who was born in
May, 1894. I recently ordered death certificates for
Augusta and John Trapp from the MN Historical Society, but have
not yet received them.
Alvina Pauline Kottke was born May 21, 1872 in West Prussia,
Germany. She married Herman Frederick Guell/Gill (who was
born in WI on June 3, 1873) on April 6, 1897 in the vicinity of
Wasioja/Kassen/Mantorville, MN. Herman Gill had
lived only a few years in this area. Twin sons
were born at Wasioja, MN in December, 1898. The family then
moved to Hawley, MN before 1900.
August Kottke was born November 27, 1869 in West Prussia,
Germany. He worked and also went to school for awhile in
the Kassen, MN area from 1883 until 1888, when he moved to
Bristol, Day County, South Dakota. He later married at
Bristol, SD.
I would appreciate any helpful information. Thank you for
your help and time. Sincerely, Cheryl Herrig-Ness cherrig_ness@yahoo.com

Charles Wesley WHITNEY died in Dodge County, MN on June
2, 1923. A MN Cemetery Inscription List mentions a Charles
Whitney buried in the Potter Section of the Riverside Cemetery in
Wasioja Township, and although that lists a death date of 1922, I
think this might be the Chas Whitney I have been searching
for. His mother, Leitha (Dill) Whitney-Brundrett was living
in Greenfield, MO and was called to her son's bedside, but he
died before she arrived. While she was here, her daughter
back in Greenfield, MO died unexpectedly at age 15. Is
there anyone who might check the obituary file for Chas Wesley
Whitney (that is how his name is listed on the Minnesota
Historical Death Index.) He was born in 1897 in Missouri
and came to MN in the early 1900s. I don't know if there
are other Whitneys in Dodge County or what he was doing
there. Other Whitneys were in Crow Wing County, MN
then. Any information would be appreciated, including
whether or not there is a cemetery index that would show this
information and whether or not a potter's grave would have a
headstone. jkmoran@brainerd.net

we thought died between 1915-1917 but we have not been able to

Searching for the death dates for Alexander Houston and
his wife Betsy (Parks) Houston. Alexander is supposedly
buried in the Maple Grove cemetery near Kasson. He arrived
in Dodge County from Blue Earth Co., MN in the late summer of
1862 following the Sioux Uprising. He chose not to return
to Blue Earth Co. but, to make his new home in Dodge Co. He
was born in Acworth, NH early 1800's to 20's. He died at
age 80. Wife Betsy is born in Acworth, NH perhaps about the
same time. Death date or details unknown. Assume
Betsy is also a Dodge County death and burial.
Does anyone have a lead? Or birth/death dates for either person?
Pure guess would be 1880-1900 for a death date range for
Alexander. His wife survived him. Children were
Watson A., Adeline, and Daniel M. No details known for
children. Can share some New Hampshire family details. wwp@unique-software.com

clear as to the first name of the head of household. It is
a J----- Barnes, Age 48-Bn NY; P.G.Barnes, age 24, Bn NY;
Isadora, age 19,Bn NY; Jedediah, Age 16, Bn PA; and Albert, Age
13, Bn PA. I do know that the P.G. Barnes married as a second
wife, Sarah (Elias) Abel. In Sarah's obit in 1935, it
states that she was married to P.G. Barnes who had died c 1913;
and Sarah had step sons named H.O. Barnes (living in Odenburg, WI
in 1935) and J.A. Barnes (living in Brainerd, MN in 1935). I also
found reference to a Jedediah Barnes across the county line, in
Goodhue County -- who founded the Congregational Church there.
I suspect that it is of the same family, as the name
Jedediah Barnes is not common. Would appreciate contact from
anyone who has any info on this family. Gayle Griffin glg1gayle@aol.com

I am the daughter of Lowell Dean Nielsen of Hayfield,
Minn. I'm looking for any information I can find about my
dad's parents. I know my grandad (Christain Nielsen) was
born somewhere in Denmark. I know not when, where, or when he
settled in Hayfield. My grandma wasfirst married to a man
named Flemming, or Fleming. I,m not even sur of her first name
(Anne, or Annie I think).Her maiden name is unknown to me.
I believe they are both burried in Fairview cemetery in
Hayfield. Grandad worked for the railroad, Chicago Great
Northern i think. Grandma was a midwife. She had 2
children by Mr. Flemming, a son Clayton and a daughter Lavonne.
Then came my uncle Douglas, who now lives in Buffalo,minn.
My uncle Earl of St. Paul. Then my dad, Lowell, and finally
uncle Brooks. Grandad died in the 1970s, he was 86.
Grandma died around 1981, she was 96 I think. Any info
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerly; Lindee

Cemetary, Dodge County. Married to Ida D. (Hall) Anderson DOD:

child (John Anderson, DOB 1894, my grandfather) by an Ojibwe

raised by another family in Ely, although his father would visit
from time to time when he was a young man. I have a Ely newspaper
photo of the elder John Anderson and articles about his business
activities in Tower and Ely. I have his obituary from the Dodge
Center newspaper, but am interested in any other local newspaper
articles and/or photographs of him. Thank you Dan Anderson
