Surnames: DOLSEN, DOLSON, PERRY, REAM, SNAPP Researcher: Tina Tucker Email: Travisandtina@aol.com Date posted: Friday, April 12, 2002: I am searching for the family of Charles Henry Dolsen/Dolson. I know that he attended school at North Secondary in Champaign co. Urbana. in 1884 and 1886. I also know that he married Emma Arka Ream in 1902. They had a daughter named Evelyn Opal on Sept. 26, 1905. Charles died in 1906, presumably in Urbana? I've seen a 1880 census for Urbana city which listed a Dolsen family, head was J. Henry Dolsen age 34, wife Mary H., son James, son Howard, son Johannes. Johannes was the correct age, but the name obviously is not. Anybody with info, please respond.

Surnames: BLUE, CLARK Researcher: Linda M. Cox Email: lindacox@uiuc.edu Date posted: Saturday, April 20, 2002: My great-grandfather Samuel Clark died in a farming accident on the Blue Brothers farm on June 5, 1935 when he is said to have fallen into the bailer while making hay. I found his death certificate issued in Clark County. He is said to have come to the Urbana Ohio area after having been released from prison in Illinois. His wife, Dixie Belle, was allegedly living on the Blue farm while Samuel was in prison for robbery. After his death Dixie Belle lived with Walter Blue by whom she had a son Raymond who was born in 1929. All of that has the makings of a good mystery. If anyone can shed some light on the CLARK - BLUE story I'd appreciate it. There HAS to be a newpaper article or two. My great-uncle Melvin claimed that the bailer was "sealed for a year" while the circumstances of the death were investigated.
