Trying to verify father and mother for David Morgan (10/09/1837-12/10/1911) who is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Nokomis, Montgomery Co., IL.
about 3 months ago | |  Carol Hounsella tree posted on Ancestry by JHaraughty shows that David's father was Calvin Morgan Jr born 1815-1820 in New York and his mother was Kezia Karah Lower Morgan born about 1816 in PA or OH and died 10-9-1837 in OH. married 9-1-1836 in Hardin County OH. No verification - just something I found posted but a place to start.

Those present were Audrey Probst, Evelyn Livingston, Wilda Prater, Evelyn Vincent, Beulah Whitten, Amber and Russell Siebert, Carol Moral, Gail Bowman and Dale and Joyce Neisler.
Russell gave an update on the process of the construction of the building. The entry door is to be installed next week, after which will come the plumbing and electrical wiring of the building. A change in putting in the insulation promises to be more efficient and quicker to install. Weitekamp Electrical of Nokomis will install the outside lead wire into the main electrical box and help with determining the amount of wiring and electrical fixtures needed. Russell and Dale plan to do the inside wiring. Russell also explained how the air conditioning and heating thermostats would work. Joyce told about the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities that were donated by the Philip Grabbe Family. Russell Siebert, Dale Neisler, Danny Hopwood and Curtis Hopwood moved the cabinets to Fillmore. Jeff and Brenda Miller have donated space in their building to store the cabinets until time to install them. There are a nice assortment of cabinets and they should work well in the plans for the kitchen of the new building. Under new business, the date for the Fall Fund Raiser was set for November 4, 2011.

The Fillmore Historical Society met on May 11, 2011. Those present were Jan Toberman, Evelyn Vincent, Carol Moral, Beulah Whitten, Russell and Amber Siebert, Audrey Probst, Gail Bowman, Dale and Joyce Neisler.
Scott Usher, will be the carpenter for the new building on Main Street that will house the Historical Museum and Community Meeting Room. At the April meeting the board of Trustees asked President Russell Siebert to speak with Scott Usher concerning the feasibility of starting construction with Phase One of the building. Phase One will consist of pouring the concrete footings and flooring, adding the necessary plumbing needed at the time. On completion of Phase One, reassessment of the financial situation will determine if Phase Two can be started. Phase Two will consist of erecting the shell of the building, with Phase Three completing the building as finances become available. The present home of the Museum in the Old School Building is of great concern to the Historical Society as the roof is deteriorating and the leakage with the presence of mold is jeopardizing the condition of the artifacts. Mr. Usher consented to the plan and work on Phase One will be starting soon. The Historical Society asks the Fillmore Community and all interested people for their continued faithful and generous support in this endeavor.
Donations this month were a Ramsey-Fillmore Telephone directory, dated 1937 from Dave Benhoff of Ramsey, embroidered quilt blocks from Audrey Probst and $100.00 from an anonymous donor.
The next meeting will be held on June 14, 2011 in the Museum at 9:30 AM. We welcome the public to attend.

 | Donald Cress Help: Elijah/Ambrose Whitten!
Mr. Casey:
My gg grandmother was Ruth Whitten, daughter of Austin Whitten and Kesiah Casey. Austin Whitten was the son of Elijah Whitten and Charity Duckett. I believe we have many ancestors in common, and I am hoping that you might have additional information.
Like many others, I have been unable to verify that Elijah Whitten was the son of Ambrose Whitten, nor have I been able to learn anything about the family of Ambrose Whitten. Have you found any new information regarding the Elijah/Ambrose Whitten connection and/or regarding Ambrose Whitten’s family?
My Cress family is descended from Johann Nicholas Heinrich Kress, who landed in Philadelphia in 1752 and settled eventually in what is now Cabarrus County, NC. Several members of the family migrated to Montgomery Co., IL. My father’s family is well represented in Bost Hill Cemetery, Fillmore, IL.
What I know of the Casey family has come from the internet, so I doubt I have anything to add to what you already know. I can trace the family back to Abner Casey, but it ends there.
I have a hard time navigating through this site. If you could email me at cress@uwp.edu I would greatly appreciate it.
Best Regards,
Don Cress

The Fillmore Historical Society, due to the January meeting being cancelled because of inclement weather, held their first meeting of 2010 on Feb. 17 in the museum.
Present were Russell and Amber Siebert, Jan Toberman, Gail Bowman, Wilda Prater, Roxanne Williams, Evelyn Livingston, Eileen Williams, Dale and Joyce Neisler.
Jan Toberman opened the museum for visitors in January. The group has used all the space available for displaying items that have been donated.
"Funding for a new building is needed, not only because of lack of space, but also to prevent damage to the artifacts now on display due to water damage when it rains. The building leaks," said a member.
Discussion centered on the soup and chili supper to be held in the old school gym on March 19. The price of $6 for adults and $4 for children will remain the same. The menu consists of vegetable soup or chili, hot dog, pie, cake and drink. Serving will be from 4 to 7 p.m.
The quilt Jan Toberman and Joyce Neisler have made to be raffled off at the fundraiser in the fall was shown and tickets were available to be sold.
The next meeting will be held in the museum on March 9 at 9:30 a.m. The Historical Society welcomes anyone interested, not only to attend the meeting but to visit the museum at that time.
