I just wanted to say that I very much enjoyed your website. My mother was a Jarboe from Kentucky, but probably not a direct link. I do not know too much about her father's family since he died when she was around 12 or 13. Her father was Joseph Jarboe, a fairly common Jarboe name. She was named Sarah after his spinster sister, Sarah Jarboe. I believe Sarah Josephine Jarboe. My mother grew up in Louisville. You have done a lovely job and I shall enjoy visiting your site again.

On 22 February 2005, a message was posted by Richard W. Freeman, grandson of Rosa Hoots. I am a distant cousin of Rosa's husband, Alfred Worth Hoots, and a Hoots family genealogist. If Richard sees this message, I would appreciate it if he will contact me at rhoots@starpower.net.

Incidentally, my maternal grandmother Elizabeth Nelson, from Juneau County, Wisconsin, met every one of the criteria to be a "Prairie Queen."

I am Addine Sandifer(Adam)'s granddaughter, Valerie. She raised me so she was really my mother. I was searching the Net for anything about her, hoping someone had done some geneology research when I found your site. Thank you so much for providing pictures of my mom. It's made me very happy and now I can't read what I'm writing for the tears. Bless you.

I am the grandson of Corneilus Duling, it was nice to see something that was in his handwriting! I have never seen that before. My grandparents and my mother are both from St. Paul Kansas, still looking for the obits for my grandparents. This site was a wonderful find.

Is there any site listing a roster of St. Judes cemetery in Monroe City? Years ago there was a paper roster at the entrance listing all buried there and locations.

I have enjoyed your site. I am an amateur genealogist and am wondering if you have any connections to the Bowles family in Ohio. I have to say that I certainly saw some family resemblances in the pictures of the Bowles girls! Could be coincidence but would like to exchange info with you. Sincerely Randi Lee Bowles- Meentzen

I looked extensively for the mentioned article on Capt. and Mrs. Ogeese on the microfilm for 1922 Journal at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka on two different visits. I was very interested in hearing more about the early days of my G-Grandfather John T. Bell in Osage Mission. Unfortunately, I could not find the article they mentioned. I thought maybe they were wrong about the year and looked in some other years. The KSHS in Topeka is the best source for this type of microfilm that I know of and if I ever visit there again, I'll keep looking.

There is a comment in the obituary for JOHN THOMAS BELL that says an interview was published in the 1922 Journal. An excerpt of that interview states "he became acquainted with Capt. and Mrs. Ogeese".

I am a descendant of Augustus "Ogeese" Captain who lived in Osage Mission (St. Paul) until 1871. Would you possibly have a copy of that 1922 Journal interview? Particularly the portion that discusses his acquaintance with Capt. and Mrs. Ogeese.

I would very much appreciate any help you might be able to provide. Augustus Captain is my 3rd g-grandfather.

The only photo I've ever seen from when the Jarboes lived in North Dakota is at this link (or you can go to the photo album for James A. Jarboe). http://www.prairiequeens.com/images/MD_KY/Jarboe_homestead_square.jpg

I've looked at the photo enlarged but the resolution isn't good enough to see what's in the window, although it looks like something is there. There are also photos on the North Dakota page showing what's left of the homestead in the 1950's and the photos / homestead papers on the North Dakota page are interesting for Del Jarboe and for the school teacher Blanche Marquart.

Alice,

Grandma (Frances Jarboe) Buckman told me that when she left North Dakota she had to leave her beloved stick horses behind. She said she left them lined up against the window in the house. At the age of 90 she still thought of them looking out of the window of the house. -- I was wondering if the stick horses are in any of the pictures from North Dakota. I want to gather as much information and visual aid to help Madalyn write a poem about a 8 year old girl leaving the horses behind. Thanks, Bridget (Buckman) Potterfield

I have spent most of the day trying to find out information about St. Judes Episcopal Church Cemetery. It is my understanding that the church and cemetary are now owned by Monroe City. If you could tell me who to contact to research graves at St. Judes, it would be appreciated. My e-mail is sdierking@kumc.edu

I was wondering if you have any more pictures related to Spalding Springs. My grandfather, Sterling Price Spalding and my great aunt, Rolla, ran the hotel about the time the picture was taken.

Also, in Hannibal, MO, 2004, there will be a reunion of descendents of the Maryland/Kentucky Catholics who came settled in Maryland and moved on to Kentucky, then Missouri and beyond. Jarboe is a common name in this group. Contact Ron Leake president of the Historical society of Ralls County, MO for information.

Good to other Gander decendents in the USA. I am from the Anton Gander Family (1850's) from Albany, N.Y. Did you know that Charles Gander, of Washington, D.C., published a complete chronology of Gander Families about 15 years ago and is ready to publish a new, updated version? He is in the Washington, D.C. Phone Book. He has the listings of several thousand Ganders throughout the world. Hope to hear from other Ganders! I can be reached at lqgander@juno.com.

Rebecca, so glad to have your message. You didn't leave an e-mail address so will respond here. I haven't traced Hugh Meredith, Sr. back that far yet. The first I have found of him was in deed records in Pulaski County VA in 1806. His wife was Nancy Smallwood but I don't know much more at this point. Would love to hear more from you as I have been trying to track down some descendants of Lucinda Branch Curtis. Contact me at alice@prairiequeens.com.

I am a descendant of Nancy's sister Lucinda Meredith who married James Parker Curtis. Just starting to research the Meredith line. Do you know if Hugh Meredith (Lucinda's grandfather) is the same Hugh Meredith that was in business with Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia?

Alice, such a terrific website... enjoyed it very much and received a lot of data to update my files. Especially liked the tombstones in Calvary Cemetery. Is this in Holy Mary Cemetery? You and I are cousins 7 different ways, with the nearest being 8C1R.

Alice,

Once again, you have created a truly PHENOMENAL family website, after what I am certain has been a long and pains-taking process! Congratulations, it's wonderful! I look forward to exploring further and checking out the "resource" links. I'm trying to track down how the Lanham family connects to the Bells ... that is, I know how they connect, but I don't know Mr. Lanham's first name, only that he married Nellie Greenwell, granddaughter of Joseph Emory Bell. Any thoughts??

Hope you're doing well and would love to see if you if business brings you to New England anytime soon! Enjoy your summer (when you're not working on this website!).

And I can't WAIT to see snippets from Prairie Queens!

Love, Niki

I hope the family will enjoy this new website. It was launched July 6, 2002. I have a very large amount of old photographs, wills, deeds, homestead papers and other research I want to share here.

It will also give the family a glimpse of the book Prairie Queens I have been working on, VERY SLOOOOOWLY, since the end of 1999.
