Janet, although I don't even know that I have any connection with this
cemetery, thank you so much for posting this information. My heartfelt
appreciation goes out to the wonderful people who are making an effort to
save this cemetery. I'm sure many people will benefit from their efforts.

There is an index at the National Archives in D.C. of civil war veterans
that received pensions. I go there occasionally and if you like, I'll
look for Joseph Morris on my next trip.

Can you give some clue as to why you connect Emma to Benton County, a name,
a place?? Do you know where and when she married?
There is a Hiram Miner listed in the Civil War Soldier and Pension records
from Blairstown. He is in 1870 census which would not show Emma.

Cathie:
What type of information are you looking for? Do you know Joseph's
siblings? That might help locate him more quickly. Have you checked the
census records?

I am new to this list and I am searching for any information for Emma Miner.
I know very little about her. I know that she married Walter Willis Foster
and lived in Ohio. She was born in 1873 and she died Feb 1, 1931 in
Columbus, Ohio. She is my grandmother and I would appreciate any assistance
from anyone out there. Thank you
Fred:
In the work in progress on CW soldiers from Benton County in adjutant
general's list I have these Morris men: Allen, Elmyah, Isaiah, U.T.
Willis is listed on pension list only which means he probably served from
another state. There are some CW vets listed on the Iowa site but like the
Benton co. site it is a work in progress and there is no index.

Hi List,
This is my first post. My Gr Gr Gr Grandfather and his family are on the
1860 census for Benton Co. IA. The township is Cue. Did this township
cease to exist? I am not able to find out where in Benton Co. it is
located. I hope someone can help me locate it.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings from Minnesota!
I am hoping someone from the Urbana, IA (Benton County) can help me find
something more in regards to my fiance's paternal grandpa. His name was
Joseph Brown. Stats are"
Joseph Brown, born September 27, 18874 in Urbana, IA
died February 21. 1920 in Windom, MN
Married: A;ril 2, 1896 in Heron Lake, MN
to:
Zilphia Ann Griffin of Heron Lake, MN
** This information is by way of the obituary held by one of Joseph and
Zilphia's children (my fiance's father).Odd as it is, t
I have given up on an ancestor I thought served from Illinois, and since
he may have migrated to Iowa before the War, have started to search here
(I thought Benton County would be the most logical since other relatives
turned up here). I found a veterans list on the Iowa State site and
searched through the Benton County volunteers with no luck. I looked
for a statewide index, but didn't see one - did I just overlook it? Is
there anyway to search by veteran's name in the whole state? I am
looking for a J
I am new to the Benton County List and hoping that someone may have access
to an index for late 1880s marriages. I am looking for the marriage of:
"Mac" (McClellan Napoleon) OBERLENDER/OBERLANDER/OVERLANDER and Leola ???
Cannot be sure of the first name of the bride....census record is in very
poor penmanship. The couple probably married in 1888 or 1889. Thank you in
advance for your time and effort. Glenda
Thanks so much for the good tips on the URLs with this information. I
looked at them quickly, and can see that I have my work cut out for me
searching the tons of data available. Surely with all that to look
through I will be able to find my elusive Joseph MORRIS.
Hello-
I subscribe to the digest version of this list. A couple of times I've
posted to the list, but have not seen my posting come through on the Digest,
when I've received the Digest. Could someone tell me whether this is standard
on this list ? Whether there is a problem of some sort ? Regards, Karen
