DURNO - CHRISTMAN Family Autograph Album
I have an old autograph album which originally belonged to Sarah or Sara DURNO of Springville, IA. The album contains entries dating from 1884 to 1888 including one from her future husband Artie WILSON. The locations identified include Marion, IA; Springville, IA; and Mt. Vernon, IA; Surnames referenced in the album include MAGEE; WAITE; CARTANO; ABBOTT; TAYLOR; STICKNEY; BOWMAN; WHITTINGTON; HOLLOWAY; KIMBALL; WILSON; EVANS; HARRIS; GLENN; PEARSON; HIGGINS; SIGFRED; BARROW; FORDE; CHAMBERLAIN; BYE; WATERS; FRENCH; WILBUR and REED. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Sara and her family: Sara or Sarah Christman DURNO was b. Jun 1872 in Springville, IA to parents George Legge DURNO (1838-1920) and Elizabeth Mary or Maria CHRISTMAN (1843-1924) who were married 25 Dec 1866 in Dubuque, IA. Sarah was one of 5 children born to this couple including Charles Augustus; William Field; Sarah C.; Edwin Pearl; and Gertrude Edith DURNO, all born between 1867 and 1877. Sarah married Arthur WILSON (1872-1949) on 5 Aug 1896 in Springville, IA and they had two children, Edwin Durno WILSON (b. 1897) and Harmon G. WILSON (b. 1899). Sara died 6 Nov 1956 in Snohomish Co., WA and is buried in the View Crest Abbey Mausoleum in Everett, WA. Her husband was born in Springville, IA in 1872, the son of Arthur Hara WILSON (b. 1828) and Mary GREEN who were married in Washington Co., OH on 12 Jan 1855. Arthur was one of 5 children born to this couple including William Cyrus; Sarah Jennie; Mary Lucy; Anna; and Arthur Hara WILSON, all born between 1857 and 1875. Arthur died 31 Mar 1949 in Everett, WA and is also buried in the same mausoleum in Everett, WA. I’d like to get the album to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley

JONSSON Family photograph
I’ve recovered an old photograph which has been identified as Nils JONSSON and his wife Johanna PETERSDOTTER. The photograph was taken at the Immke Studio in Princeton, IL and sent to Mr. Gus CHALLGREN in Harcourt, IA. Gus was married to their daughter Carrie. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the couple and their family: Nils JONSSON or JOHNSON was b. 26 Sept 1854 in Holmby, Inalmihes Lan, Sweden to parents Jons OLSSON and Eljena NILSDOTTER (b. 1820). Nils was one of three children born to this couple including Nils; Ola; and Mans JONSSON, all born between 1854 and 1865. Nils married Johanna PETERSDOTTER (1854-1939) in 1876 in Reslov, Malmohus, Sweden and they had at least three children including, Anton Nilson (b. 1879); Carrie; and John JONSSON or JOHNSON. Their son John changed his last name to HICKEY at some point in time. Nils died 2 Nov 1919 in Dubuque, IA and is buried in the Pine View Cemetery in Delaware, OH. I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the KILLEEN Family. The first is one of Nellie KILLEEN which was taken at the Trone Studio in Denison, IA and dated 1881. Nellie appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time. The second photograph is one of Maria KILLEEN which was taken at the Beverage Studio in Marshalltown, IA and is dated 1882. Maria appears to be in her 20's or 30's at the time the photograph of her was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding these ladies and their families: Maria KILLEEN was b. 1854 in Dubuque Co., IA to parents Patrick KILLEEN (1830-1906) & Catherine or Katherine GILMORE (1830-1913). The couple had 10 children including, John; Maria; Edward; Michael; Thomas; Patrick Henry; Ellen; Katherine; Frank; and James L. KILLEEN all born between 1852 and 1875. Maria married Peter LOVELY (1844-1912) on 8 Jan 1894 in Arcadia, IA and she died 27 Mar 1921 in Carroll Co., IA and is buried in the Saint Johns Catholic Church Cemetery in Arcadia, IA. Her obituary listed surviving family members including, brother and sisters, Edward KILLEEN of Carroll, IA; John KILLEEN of Vail, IA; Michael, Thomas, Frank, and Patrick KILLEEN of West Side, IA; and Mrs. G. W. COX of Des Moines, IA; and Mrs. Jorn FARRELL, of St. Elmo, MN. Ellen “Nellie” G. KILLEEN was b. 14 Feb 1865 in Mosalem Township, IA to the same parents and married George W. COX (1854-1927) and they had four children including, Carl Vincent; Regina L.; Hellen or Helen Marie; and Catherine “Kitty” Gertrude COX, all born between 1894 and 1901. Nellie died 13 Jun 1954 in Des Moines, IA and is buried in the Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines, IA. I am hoping to return the photographs to this family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley
