Sharon Smith Lafferty - LaffertyShrn78@aol.com Thank you LYONS, KIRKPATRICK, STREETS My sister and I are working on our family tree and we have three names that were in the Iowa area between the eighteen and nineteen hundreds that need help. Those names are Lyons, Kirkpatrick, and Streets. I am sure there were many married names we don't know of that may have been in or around Iowa as well but we know that great great grandparents lived in Iowa along with their children etc. Would appreciate any help we can get. One outstanding need is information on Howard Lyons and he died between 1900 and 1910 and was between three and ten the way we figure. I have a picture of him and parents and sister Edna but only know he died young and never shows up on census records. Marlene Smith packratmom@juno.com LAURIE I am looking for information on William and Florinie Laurie. They would be my
Great-Grandparents. My Grandmother Annie Oniece Laurie was sent to live with Victor and Hattie Rohr when she was
4 years old after the death of Florinie. My Grandmother Died 6 months before I was born so I have no family history
on her side. I am wanting to find any Medical History or Family History for the Laurie Side. I know my Grandmother
was born December 2, 1914 in Seymour Ia. That is all I have to go on. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Rickles I would love to gather more information on a story I have from some old newspaper
clippings on my great Uncle Chester A. Rickles, 32, his wife Bessie Rickles, 31, and their friend Lou Woolever
65, who were all drowned in the Mississippi River on October 20, 1939. I have got several clippings from the Daily
Hawk-Eye Gazette in Burlington on the search for them and where they had found the Mr. & Mrs Rickles but nothing
on Mr. Woolever, whether he was found, and what the inquests showed as the cause and why it happened.
GATES June 1st, 2006 Shelley Cardiel wrote: I've "rescued" an old photograph of Harlow Taylor GATES which was taken at the Morgan Studio in Harriman, Tennessee. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Harlow noted as just 9 months old at time it was taken. Based on limited research I believe that Harlow T. GATES was b. 8 Apr 1891 in TN and d. 19 Feb 1989 in La Jolla, CA. Harlow was living in Missouri at the time his Social Security Card was issued. Records indicate that his Mother's maiden name was TAYLOR. In 1920 he was living in Des Moines, IA with census records providing the following information: Harlow GATES, age 28, born TN, parents born USA, a Electrical Co. Manager Pearl GATES, wife, age 28, born PA, parents born PA Doris GATES, dau, age 9 months, born WV
I'm hoping to locate someone from this GATES Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley cardiels@comcast.net

Stitt June 3rd, 2006 Hello Out There, I have located & proven the marriage date of my grandparents
in Osceola, Iowa on Oct 12, 1899 via all the email help I received and the county of Clarke. Bessie Stitt was born
in Corydon, Wayne County, Iowa in 1881. Her Father was listed as T.J. Stitt. Do any of you know of a Stitt family
with those two names and the 1881 birth? There is another Bessie Stitt born in 1873 who may be an aunt or mother.
Also there is a Bessie Rutter who married a Stitt in this time frame but they were married to each other long after
my gr. parents left Iowa for an unknown Providence in Canada where two aunts were born, Clarrisa and Agnes about
1904 and 1905. Then they were off to Wyoming and Oregon where I was sent more information. Charles Phillippe Boies
had been married prior to Bessie so she had two stepdaughters with them in Canada.
