Topic: Sarah/Robert McCartney-New Albany, KS
From: Jan Dunlap nedunlap@revealed.net
Date: Friday, June 28, 2002 11:54 AM
I am looking for Sarah Ann DeGraff married to Robert McCartney who were thought to be in New Albany, Wilson Co, KS in May 1873 (her father�s estate papers). Sarah was born 5 November 1833 in Elkhart, IN and died 2 June 1913 but the family Bible does not say where. Her name is listed as Miller when she died. There are no entries for a marriage to Robert McCartney or to unknown Miller. Does this info fit with what anyone else knows? Can someone check the cemetery list for New Albany? Or check any other local material that might shed a clue? Jan Dunlap nedunlap@revealed.net

Looking for any info on Sarah (DeGraff) and Robert McCartney who are listed in her father's estate papers as being in New Albany, Wilson Co, KS in March and May 1873. I have no other information except that Sarah died in 1913 and is Mrs Sarah Miller at that time. I do not know where she died or what Mr Miller's first name was.
Do you know anything about these families?

While searching the databases of Ancestry.com some months ago, looking for info about my Great Grandfather Albert Walden, who was born in Illinois in 1856, I found that there was an Albert J Walden in the Neodesha KS City Directory for 1896- 97. I searched for more info today, and found nothing- ancestry.com has changed something.
So, I wonder if there might be some way that I could get microform of some kind of the Neodesha KS City Directory for 1896- 97?

My Great-Grandmother was an Otto. I am searching for any and all information about the Ottos. I believe the entire family is buried in the Fredonia cemetery. This is what I know about the family: Father was Adolph or Adolphus or Aldreth Otto, Mother was Amelia Otto. Children are Robert, Ernest, George, William, Albert, Eddie, and Agnes (Eddie and Agnes may have died before the family moved to Kansas.) Robert and Ernest were born in New York then the family moved to Michigan and finally to Fredonia. They ran the Fall River Mill. Does this still exist? Where would I get pictures? Also have the name of W. Harold Otto, but have no idea how he is connected to the family. W. Harold Otto had a lot of money and when he died he left it to the University of Kansas. Students of Wilson county who will be attending UK can still apply for the W. Harold Otto scholarship. Does anyone know how he is related to Adolph? W. Harold Otto died in Fredonia in June of 1969.

You might want to contact

and ask them to do a look up in the cemetery listings, and maybe check for obituaries. While they are at it, you might want to ask that they transcribe the 1885 Kansas State Census information for the following families....(the 1982 cost was $1.00 per family)
BOWMAN, A 1-6-1 FR
BOWMAN, Albert 30-15-1 GUI
BOWMAN, J 5-6-1 FR
BOWMAN, Jno H 9-15-1 CHE
BOWMAN, M 4-6-1 FR
MULLIGAN, R. J. 11-12-1 FR
where the code is 1 (line) - 6 (page) - 1 (reel #) FR (city)
FR = Fredonia City (Center Township)
GUI = Guilford Township
CHE = Cheota Township
The above is from
