Dear

The

Marriage information you have requested from the County appears to be correct.
Here’s the marriage information I found that you will pay $5 to get a certified

Dear Mr. and Mrs.
Huffman;
re: John W. Howard #143
Born Rising Sun, Indiana, 1819,
and died December 16, 1865
Married Margaret (Sheridan) Howard
I am
searching for the burial site of my great-great-grandfather, John
W. Howard,
who served in the Civil War. According to story, he died of
war related
disabilities somewhere in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee;
the hospital
burned and all records were destroyed. I have written many
sources
to find out where he was interred but to no avail -- perhaps in
a national
cemetery marked "unknown".
The Howard family was originally from Rising
Sun, Indiana, and moved to
Martin Township, McLean County, Illinois (now
Colfax) sometime after
John's death in December of 1865 to live near
Margaret's sister, Jane
and her husband W. G. Anderson, who were fairly
well-to-do.
I also noticed a listing for Arminie Jones #9 (may be
spelled
incorrectly) and William Jones #222. A long shot -- possibly
John's
daughter, Aremina Jane Howard who married a William Franklin Jones
in
1899 in Brown County. I am in the process of requesting a
marriage
certificate for Aremina and William from the Brown County
Courthouse.
(Don't know if these people are my family or not.)
Aremina
was born in Rising Sun, Indiana, in approximately 1848. Don't
know much about
her. The name Aremina is unusual, as well as those of
her sisters, Aliquippa
and Angelisa. Was told they were named after
boats that ran the Ohio
river. John W. was a boatman.
I appreciate what you are doing as I
find this stuff fascinating! Hope
you uncover some good
things.
Thank you,
Gloria
Colgan
