Molitor & Schaefer


Anna Molitor and Peter Schaefer were married in Mower County in 1877
"Near Taopi, Mower County, Minnesota" and were living there in 1880.
[1880 United States Federal Census > Minnesota > Mower > Lodi > District 
163, page 8]
 
I am at a brick wall with Anna and Peter. They were born in Germany and
apparently she had a brother John. Cannot find him in Mower County either.
Maybe one day someone can help.
 
They moved to Walworth County, SD in 1882 0r 1885 and stayed there till
they died.

Gregg and Smith

I am researching the families of David Long Smith and John Wesley Gregg.

My great grandmother, Agnes Elda Smith Gregg, is supposedly buried in
Rosecreek cemetery. She died in 1889 as a result of childbirth. Her husband
was Olin Leslie Gregg. Olin later married her sister, Minnie Smith, about
1891.

I noticed the names of other Gregg kin in Rosecreek, but not my
grandmother.  Possibly the grave is not marked?

Researching Parritt Family 

My name is Celeste Oden at Cloden1@aol.com.  
I am interested in the Parritt family, Dexter and Alice (Cadwallader) 
Parritt, and Dexter's parents, Mahlon and Mary Jane.  This site is 
wonderful, as is Kip2u, who sent me photos of their headstones, except 
that Dexter is buried at Belmont Cemetery in Youngstown, Mahoning Co., 
Ohio.  

I am trying to learn who the two children were that accompanied 
the family when they moved to Mower County in 1857?  Whatever became of 
them?  I do have some materials on the Parritt's when they lived in 
Hillsville, Pa., if anyone there is interested?  I would love to see 
a photo of Dexter, if one exists?  

  Thank you for this wonderful site, 

    Celeste.











Researching Carlton Arden Geer Family 

In regard to getting a name added to the list on this page I am seeking
information about Carlton Arden Geer, who lived in Austin, Mower County in 
the early 1860s before going to war.  He died at the end of the Civil War 
and his wife, Elizabeth “Betsey” Lucretia (Rolfe) Geer and their 3 children
(Byron, John and Alonso) were recorded to have lived in Austin at the time. 

I have found no evidence of them in Austin yet, only Carlton’s military
records show that he lived there.

Thank you,

Elaine Lahey in Oregon
