1. Smith in IA [1]
Hi Listmembers, I really need some help climbing over a very high and difficult brick wall!! I am searching for my g grandmother, MARTHA A. SMITH. She was born in England about 1858. The family story is that she was either sent or brought to America to be educated, but when she got here, she was put into the fields to work. She married GEORGE WORTH WILSON in Polk County, IA about 1878. They were there for the 1880 census with their first son, William. She stated that she and both her parents were bo
2. Jordan Cemetery [1]
Is there anyone out there who has access to the Jordan Cemetery in West Des Moines who would be willing to take a few photos for me? This county is not covered at all by the Cemetery Photo List Volunteers. I'm willing to pay for 35 mm film and processing costs or film can be sent to me to develop on my own. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Stacey momdit@aol.com Missouri

5. Re: JASTRUMSKE and FOSTER [1]
Nettie - I don't know how much help I can be, but -- I graduated from North High in 1952 and my mother graduated there in 1931. My only suggestion is that you write to North High Alumni Association or the school itself and ask if they have any information.

I sent messages to the individuals, but just in case I missed someone, thank you for your help and offers to find out more - what a nice group! Good luck to all of you this new year. Mary Saggio
7. Highland Park College Des Moines [1]
>From the Des Moines Register 3/20/1996 "Highland Park College was established in 1889 on the northeast corner of Second and Euclid avenues. Originally a privately operated school, in 1911 it was taken over by a board of trustees of the Presbyterian Church. The tree-shaded campus had four buildings and an enrollment of about 2,000 students. It was a leader in education in that it combined liberal arts with technical and vocational training. It offered full four-year courses to those who had the time an
8. Highland Park College [1]
Hi! I'm new to the list and was wondering if anyone is familiar with the history of Des Moines had heard of Highland Park College. My grandfather graduated around 1915 from this college (according to his obituary). Is it still in existance? Would there have been yearbooks or any publication with student pictures at that early date? I'd appreciate any information. Thank you, Mary Saggio Grafton, WI

10. Re: Smith in IA [1]
Hi Karol and list, I am also seeking Smith's in IA. I have Raymond HENDRICKS (son of Clarence H. HENDRICKS and Elizabeth Caroline ESSEX) b. Jul 1895, m. Jul 20 1916, in Muscatine Co IA, Goldie Mae SMITH, b. abt 1897, IA. The 1920 census lists Goldie's mother, Ida SMITH (b. abt 1861) in their household as divorced, so "Mr" SMITH's given name and Ida's maiden name are unknown to me. According to this census both of Goldie's parents were born in IA. So far, most of my information involves Muscatine Co, how
11. Re: Highland Park College [1]
Hi, Mary -- I grew up in Highland Park but left Des Moines in 1952. I believe you can find out more about the history of Highland Park College by talking with the librarians at the Highland Park Library at 5th? and Euclid. It has quite a history! My mother recently sent me a newspaper clipping from either the DM Register or Tribune (probably the Register) about it and if I can locate it among all my genealogy papers, I'll contact you again.

12. JASTRUMSKE and FOSTER [1]
I am hoping someone out there can help me!! I am searching for Ada M.FOSTER JASTRUMSKE. At the moment I know very little about Ada, but what I do know is this: Ada M. FOSTER married Clarence E. JASTRUMSKE in Des Moines, Iowa on 23 Sep 1929. Ada's husband grew up in Des Moines and graduated from North High School in January 1925. Clarence was born in Jul 1905, so I am estimating that Ada was probably born between 1905 - 1910. In the Des Moines City Directory of 1944, it lists Clarence & Ada M. JASTRUMS
13. Re: Jordan Cemetery [1]
If anyone can help Stacey I would appreciate some Jordan Cemetery photos also. Photos of any Rice headstones especially Esau Daly Rice who died at Commerce in 1877 probably February. I don't know if Esau is buried there. I would be glad to share the expenses. Does anyone know of other old cemeteries in the Commerce, Valley Junction, Van Meter area where Esau may be buried?
