I have been looking for a George Steinshower b. abt 1857 d. 1888. That much I know for sure, he is my great grandfather and his son my grandfather told me that his father died when he was 4 years old in Dunlap, Harrison twp, Harrison Co., Iowa. I have been unable to find him there.

I recieved information just this week and it said that George lived in Webster County (Iosa) and is buried in McGuire Bend cemetery, near Dayton, Iowa. On your cemetery page I didn't see McGuire Bend Cemetery but at the bottom of the page I noticed a mention of this cemetery.

Is there anyway that you could check to see if he is buried there. If not could you send me the location of McGuire Bend cemetery and if it is acessible.

Thanks for you time and I would appreciate any help you can give me

My family and my husband's family also go back many generations in Iowa. I have been searching for the death record of my great grandmother, Lydia Jane (Mitchell) Hollingsworth, b. 1828/29 in Mercer Co. Pa. and died ca. 1905 in Otho twp. Cannot find her burial site. Her husband, John Hollingsworth is buried in Jackson Center Cemetery according to the index but no headstone. She was a postmistress in the 1880's in Otho. I have corresponded with Webster Co. Gen. Soc. many times but to no avail. Her son, William McKean Brown, by her first husband, became Lt. Governor of Pa. in the early 1900's. She was widowed and left with 3 small sons in Pa. and she moved to Jackson Co. and was married in 1858 to John Hollingsworth. He was from England and naturalized there in 1860 when their son Hugh Harper Hollingsworth was born. Hugh was my grandfather. There also seems to be no obituary about her, although I found one about her son, J.M.Q. Brown when he died in 1903 (former resident of Webster Co.) She is really a mystery to me. There is absolutely no record of her death in Iowa records. Family stories from elderly aunts said she died in Elkhart.

I take this to mean Elkhorn and there is a cemetery there that I have not checked. Anyway, must end this "great American saga" taking up your time.

My husband's family was in Wright Co. in 1854 or so and came from Wisconsin.

My grandmother on my father's side was a Rowley and they were pioneers in Chickasaw Co. It goes on and on . . .

Would like to hear from someone who may know these names. Sincerely, Carol Entrikin

Young children of Julia and Andrew Swanson were thought to have been sent to an orphange after the death of their parents in the early 1890's. Does anyone know where that might have been? Also, Julia spent some time in a sanitarium for the treatment of "Consumption" (tuberculosis). Does anyone have any idea where that might be? They resided in Otho at the time of their deaths. (Andrew - 1891 and Julia - 1895)

Comments: I have uncovered a mystery this week and maybe you can help me solve it. I have known that Reuben Columbus RICHARDSON died in Fall River County, South Dakota. He is a brother to my Great-grandfather and I thought his obituary might give me some information on the family. Reuben Columbus Richardson died 9 Aug 1910 in Fall River County, South Dakota.

He was born 5 Aug 1844 in Indiana (?), married to Margaret Ann CRIM Apr 9 1874, and had four children, George b 1875, Jennie b 1876, Fannie b 1878, and Harley b 1880.

However, when I found the record of his death in the Register of Deeds, I found he had only been in Fall River County 7 days and had been sick all seven days. His place of residence is listed as Dayton, Iowa, (the same place my mother was born.) Also, he was not buried there. I am wondering what he was doing in Fall River County. Was he planning to live there or if he was just traveling through when he fell ill. Also, was his body shipped back to Webster County for burial.

Do you have any information on him? hopefully an obituary. Does any of the family still live there?
Anything you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Gratefully,
Ed Glassgow

Comments:  My great-grandfather James BANKS (he Americanized his named from BUNKSEN) emigrated from Denmark in the 1870's or 1880's; he lived in the Fort Dodge area and raised four children after the early death of his (unknown) wife. His children were James, Margaret BANKS LARSEN, Ethel BANKS STEVENS, and my grandmother, Jennie BANKS LARSEN. Margaret and Jennie married brothers, Martin and John Larsen, respectively. Jennie and John Larsen were married May 30th, 1907 in Webster County, perhaps Fort Dodge. John died in 1935, Jennie in 1980. James Sr.'s only son, James, died childless and the line ended at that point. I would like to hear from anyone who has information about the BANKS/BUNKSEN/BUNTSEN family line, including the name of John's wife and any of his siblings who may have settled there.
