COLUMBUS CLOCK

Query:
I found a reference to a columbus clock with 1492 on the face and it had wooden parts. I
also have such a clock and am interested in finding additional information about the item.
The entry stated that the clock was on display at the "Martha Washington
bakery".
I need to fix the top piece that spins, find a clock hand and the get weights that power
the clock. I would like to find a reference to this so I could get this information. I
could then fabricate some clock weights, the top spinning piece and the clock hand.
Reference -->
http://www.ukans.edu/~hisite/franklin/fcgs/v3n4/displays.htm
The information I have on my clock is that it is one of a lot of 1,000 clocks manufactured
for a world fair sometime around 1929? or so. It is a replication of another clock (of
which I have no information other than one of them in my hand.)
Thanks for any help.

Query: I read with interestthe story @www.ukans.edu/~hisite/franklin/fcgs/v2n4/chippewa.htm The Chippewa Burial Ground. I have been trying to find information about my grandfather, Dr. Joseph Romig and came across this site. I know he was a Moravian Missionary doctor in Alaska and traveled there in 1896. His sister was married to a Killbuck and they both were Moravian Missionaries to Alaska. My father was born in Seward, AK in 1911. My grandfather, Dr. Joseph Romig died before I was born but I certainly remember tails of him, seen his picture and read the book Dog Team Doctor, which is about him. I am confused by the article at the site because it states that Mr. Joseph Romig's daughter was married to Killbuck. This can't be the case unless there are two Joseph Romig's out there with a relative married to a Killbuck. Can you clearify any of this. I would love to know more about my grandfather's family since my father is dead, as are his sibblings. Thank you.

Query: Looking for leads related to a Prof. W.W. (Wallace) Roller and his wife Edith as identified in the
following Madison Co., NY obituary from March, 1869. I believe that he(they?) were called
for a Methodist Episcopal church, mission or school assignment in KS. I believe that W.W.
Roller returned to KS and this assignment after he buried his wife with her family back in
N.Y.
Mrs. Edith Ballou
Roller was born in Fenner, Madison Co., N. Y., Sept. 30th, 1849, and died in Ottawa City,
Kansas, March 23d, 1869, of lung fever. "Edie," as she was familiarly
called, was a fair and beautiful child, and a general favorite wherever she went. She was
kind, polite, and eminently unselfish. By her great interest in the Sabbath School, and
her success in raising monies therefor, she was called by many, "the missionary
girl." She was married the last day of September, being her 19th birthday, to Prof.
W.W. Roller, of Oneida Seminary, and left for Kansas. In less than six months, the happy
and beautiful bride was brought back a corpse. Her mortal remains rest quietly in the
vault by her childhood's home in Canasaraga, but her spirit has gone to be with God, in
the beautiful land beyond the mountains.

Mailing address:6417 W. State Rd. 44 Shelbyville, IN 46176-9087
Query: I am looking for information on James Carl.
He possibly moved from Ohio to Forest Home(aka-Homewood), Ohio Twp. He was married to
Catherine Seaman before
he moved to Kansas. He came to KS around 1857, and he was listed in the 1859 KS State
Census as Carle. In the 1870 Census he was listed as Karl. In 1867-69 James and Catherine
were listed as being postmasters for Forest Home. I am trying to find birth and death
dates on both. I am also trying to find out possibly who James and Catherine's parents
were. Catherine Seaman Carl had a brother, Constatine O. Seaman who was born in 1820
in Virginia. He moved to Wayne Co., Ohio in 1833 and then moved to Richland Co., Ohio in
1842. In 1882 when Constatine Seaman died Catherine wrote to the newspaper in Richland
County telling that Constatine's birthdate and place of birth and that there were six
other siblings besides him and her. I have yet to find out where Catherine and
James were born and whether or not they had any children before or after they moved to
Kansas. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Query: Thanks to the Franklin County, GenWeb project I found my 2nd gr-grandmother, Sarah Biggs listed in Greenwood
Cemetery, and also an infant, Charles L BIGGS, who I believe was probably her baby.
I am wondering if there is anyone who is reading this right now that lives in Franklin
County that would be able to confirm somehow that this baby was hers. Maybe just knowing
that their graves are side by side would be helpful. I don't suppose there would be any
other kind of record to check. You may contact me at my e-mail address listed here. I
appreciate any and all help: dmotsinger@hotmail.com

Mailing address: 1980 Kiger Rd, Tillamook, OR 97141
Query: I would like to add to my first BIGGS inquiry. The 1875 Franklin County, KS
State Census lists a BIGGS on page 10, in Ottawa City. If anyone out there has access to
this list, I am interested in the first name or names of this BIGGS family.
I couldn't find a BIGGS family listed on the 1865 Franklin County State census though,
which has me a little puzzled. In Josiah Biggs, III very short self-written biography, he
says he moved to Kansas in October, 1860, and while there, he buried his second wife, who
was the mother of 9 children, 7 boys, and 2 girls. This wife is the Sarah Biggs, whose
name I found on the Greenwood cemetery listing. I do have Josiah Biggs (listed as Joseph)
on the 1870 Franklin County Census, so know that he was there by then.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. Debbie
