No cemetery records are online for Mills County. The Genealogy Society has a
cemetery book that was written in 1975 but as far as I know copies are no
longer available. They have a very nice genealogy room in the library at
Glenwood where the society has all of their resources. They have many obits
on file. They were very helpful to me when I visited them last summer. They
do look ups. Here is the url for the genealogical research help list avail
for Mills County.

We have several photo's of the following people. Need help in identifying them.
Bert & Ruth Maxine CREIGHTON (possible Maxine is the name of
a baby that Ruth is holding). Also have a picture of this Ruth
sitting on the ground working the flowerbed in front of the
Creighton family tombstone, presumably Malvern Cemetery.
We believe Ruth's maiden name may have been MADDEN or

Hi to all Mills researchers,
I will be glad to do look ups for the following things in Mills County:
Mills and Fremont County Cemeteries
1985 Mills County History
Complete census records for any listing in the indexes which are posted
on the county web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills I also have
at the local FHC the following census records: 1856 state census,
1860,1880,1900 and 1920. Unless you know township or town I don't have
time to make a more extensive search.

Sue,
Wish I had something to help you. The only Kirsch listed in the Mills
Cemetery is Mary Kirsch, wife of John Little . She was b. in 1805 and
died 1886 and buried in Saint Boniface Cemetery. Know that is not going
to help you. I even checked Fremont (next county south). Nothing.
Sorry.

Thanks for your offer, Mary. It would be nice to have help. After the
note I sent to IAMILLS-L@rootsweb.com yesterday I have had about a dozen
requests for look-ups of one kind or another.It proves there are people
out there using the discussion list. It would help a lot if those who
are inquiring could give me a time frame and perhaps a township or town
to help me identify just who they are looking for. Time does not allow
me to do a lot of guessing. Cay Merryman caym@infowest.com

Here is a poem that you may enjoy. It was sent to me by a cousin who also
works on genealogy.
Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred
