Bio and Links
Bio Photo Hi, I'm a retired educator. I've been working on genealogy since 1961 for a school project. It has become a passion. My family has been keeping records for over a hundred and twenty years. I have records for the following surnames:
Adams
Basner
Bruns
Carey
Case
Chase
Freeman
Gilbert
Haines/Hanes/Haynes
Hillis
John/Johns
Keath/Keith
Logan
Moore(Rev. Joseph Moore ancestors & descendants)
Pearce/Pierce/Peirce
Phelps
Rosenberger
Stanley
Stringer
Trenary
Varvel
Vennum
and their off-shoots.
Find A Grave has helped me locate burials of ancestors who were lost. I love strolling through cemeteries and taking photos of family name stones (sometimes they actually connect with my family).

I believe everyone was someone and should be remembered. Some folks are lost to family, some have no one remaining and others are simply forgotten. So if you care to add a token to our military members, infants or individuals under a surname feel free to remember them. I thank you and bless you for taking the time to honor their memories.

Hi There, I made the requested changes to the memorials Eva and her husband and then transferred the records to you being these are your direct family. I hope that is okay. Let me know if there are others that you need updated or transferred.

Not a problem. It is a challenge sometimes to get photo's in the right place. The Albert and Maudy grave stones go with parents James and Emily they are buried on the same lot. So when you figure out what is correct I will gladly place photos on the proper memorial page.

Carey-Day
FYI: added obituary for Genevieve Day Brown (92632806)a daughter of Edward and Rachel Day. I suspect the Albert and Maude Day children buried in Villisca Cemetery are the children of Emily and James Day as they are on the same lot as Emily and James (Original edition section 3 lot 7). I will go see if there are stones tomorrow.
Also I see there were quite a few Carey-Day Family Reunions in the 1990's.

Ezer and Elizabeth Lamborn
Hello!
Elizabeth's maiden name is Moore. She was the daughter of James Moore and Martha Kennett. Elizabeth was the sister of my 3rd great grandfather, George W Moore. I have a letter that Ezer (and Elizabeth) wrote to George in 1875 after receiving news of the death of a child. The letter originated from Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania.
Thank you,
Laura Ladkau

Hi Mary,

Vivian's fathers name was Dr. William I.C. Evans, MD he died on 4/18/1908 at age of 34 yrs. His wife was pregnant & delivered their son later, William Isaac Evans.

Evans & Chase's
Hi M,
I was wondering if you live out in Hammond, Indiana?
Do you know the death date of my cousin Vivian Evans? She was born in 1902. She was the last of the line of my grandfather's brother's family.
Vivian gave the information that i have.

Also What Chase Family do you descend from?
Were they originally from NH & Mass? Please let me know.

Thank you the shamrocks !!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY !!

God Bless.

Sincerely, Laurie # 47375347

RE: Elizabeth Sprague CHASE
That is absolutely no problem Mary, I understand. I am glad to hear from you whenever you feel up to it.

Did you receive the photo of the Carey 'girls' that I sent a while back?

Let me know what photos you were refering to and I will be glad to send them to you.

Take care Mary. I know you have a hard road to travel and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love,
Karen
