There's a 1951 Peoria map at
http://www.just1way.org showing North street;
also, I have an 1896 map of the same area, which
I can photograph/scan and send later today.

Irish ancestors? A new database sponsored by Boston College lets you search
the Boston Pilot's "Missing Friends" column, advertisements from people
looking for "lost" friends and relatives who had emigrated from Ireland to
the United States. Dates are 1831 to 1921.

I coped this from the Archives...thought it was in what I copied, I would
say that it probably means that the graveyard was at the Rankin Presbyterian
Church in Mt. Pulaski but don't know if that is Twp. or city. Pat Morano

Proctor Home is now Proctor Endowment Home, I believe, and it exists as a
home for the elderly. Proctor Home was down on the South Side, not far from
Proctor Hospital.
Both Proctor Endowment Home and Proctor Hospital have moved out of the older
section of Peoria, which now is very run-down. They moved north, out on or
near No. Knoxville, I think.
Buehler Home is still in existence and flourishing. It continues to expand
and is the nicest and cleanest home for the elderly I have ever been in. My
I'd like an explanation of "Rankin Presbyterian (Mt. Pulaski)."

In 1860 both St. Mary's and St. Joseph's (German) parishes would have
existed. In 1861 St. Patrick's(Irish)parish was formed.
For a nice history and the current state of affairs look at the following

Hi Everyone,
It's been a great start for the month of March! Many new additions to
the Peoria website... www.peoriacountyillinois.info
I would like to thank these generous contributors:
* June Schlager sent in many photos, obits and great newspaper
articles about War World II veterans....which has been added to
the "Military: War World II" section.
* Donna Carkenord contributed an interesting obit of Susan Shane and
Mrs. Samuel Snyder.

Kimberly,
The only thing that I was able to conclude from searching for my
grandfather's parents was that if a child was placed in the custody of the
courts in Peoria Co., IL in 1900-1925 (not sure if these are exact dates as
I was speaking to someone on the phone) they sent someone down from the
Chicago location to pick them up and transport them back to Chicago.

My apologies for the cryptic method I used in column 6, to indicate 'LOCATION'. The letters
'gr' and 'sc' mean Grisham and Shoal Creek townships. The number is the section number.
Although the cemetery in Shoal Creek township is in Bond county, I have included it as half

Seek information on Charles Fisher, the son of Joseph Fisher (1798-1890) of Muskingum County, IL, and his descendants who lived in Peoria. The will of the said Joseph Fisher, who died on Dec. 21, 1890 and is probated in Muskingum County, OH, lists all of his children, including Charles Fisher, who moved to Peoria, IL. The Application for Letters of Administration also lists these grandchildren of Joseph Fisher, who are believed to be the children of the said Charles Fisher:

When I talked to the Illinois Children's Home and Aide Society this week
they said that they do not allow anyone to review their records as their
records are sealed in the state of Illinois. But...you should keep calling
them and writing them or the courts where the children were taken into
custody, because sometimes the courts will give permission to view the
records. What I was told was that all of the records are kept in the main
branch in Chicago.

Hello All,
I was interested in the request that mentioned the Illinois Children's
Home and Society. What were the years it was in operation? Where would
records from the Children's Home be found?
I have a gggrandfather whose mother took him and his brother to an
orphanage in Peoria before 1890. The two boys were later adopted by their
father's family. We have since found the birth of a sister no one knew about and
are wondering if she may have been placed there also.

I searched, more than once, for an obituary on an ancestor of mine who died
in Peoria Co. in 1904. Then I remembered that he came from Germany, why
would his family be reading or subscribing to an English written newspaper?
I then ordered the microfilm for the German newspaper in Peoria and lo and
behold, there was a beautifully written and information obit for him in that
paper. In Wisconsin, where I reside, obits may be found in German newspapers
from completely different cities that were not close

The sister of one of my ancestors, Delilah Jane Slane, married William E
Root in 1854 in rural Peoria County somewhere. William Root was born 1825
(location unknown) and died 1913 in Pawnee County, Nebraska. Delilah Slane
(born 1832 in Peoria, IL and died 1910 in Nebraska) was the sister of my
great-great-grandfather Benjamin Frank Slane. William and Delilah Root had
3 sons - Albert (1855-1938), John (1868-1951) and Waldo. I wonder if
William Root was related to your Royal Root ?

Proctor Home was more a retirement home with some nursing facilities, as I
recall. There was also a Buehler Home that was a retirement home. This
goes back to a time when nursing homes as such did not exist.
Dick.
Proctor Home was on Spring Street where it runs into Glen Oak Avenue. It
has been there in the 1930's at least until it moved. Proctor Hospital was
on the corner of Second and Fisher and the nurses' home was a block away on
Second Street.
Dick.
Correction.
In my message sent a few minutes ago, I referred to Charles Fisher as born in Adamsville, Muskingum County, OH and moved to Peoria, IL. In fact, he was probably born in Madison Township, Muskingum County, OH, on his father's farm. It is also possible that he was born in the City of Zanesville, also in Muskingum County.

Hi!
I just wanted to thank you all for your help. Each item that I
received has given me a piece to the puzzle, and now it's almost all
together. The 1930 census shows James and Elizabeth Ella Musgrave as
"inmates" at the Proctor House or Proctor Home. Can anyone tell me what the
Proctor House is? Was it a nursing home (hopefully)? Thanks again to you
all for your kind help!
