FRY / LOHMANN / SCHWECHTEN / MITCHELL
I am researching the descendants of Hermann L. FRY. Hermann married my aunt Emma LOHMANN in Texas in Freestone County, TX on June 6,1896.
A known daughter, Ruby Alpha FRY, was born April 9,1902, probably in Arkansas. Post cards show that she was in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1921. She studied Stenography and Bookkeeping. Graduated Coffeyville H.S. 5/19/21. She may have gone to Kansas University. Emma took care of her younger sister, Selma, after their mother's death in1895 for some time.
As indicated in a letter to August LOHMANN,
their father and my grandfather, on 1/1/1906 Emma was in Dodd
City, Marion County, Arkansas. Emma's husband Herman L. FRY was
a legal agent and superintendent in 1905 for the Iola Mining and
Milling company in Iola, Kansas. (A facility may have been in
Zinc, Arkansas, county unknown). George A. FRY was the president
of the Iola
Mining Company. They may have been in Boone County Arkansas and
mailed the letter from Dodd City.
In addition the letter said:
a. That she was in poor health.
b. Uncle Fritz SCHWECHTEN was dead. Died 7/13/05 in Leavenworth
hospital with cancer of the stomach.
c. Otto SCHWECHTEN (Fritz's son) was in Chicago and didn't come
to his father's death.
d. Emma wrote Aunt Fredrieka [Schwechten] RABE about Fritz's death.
Fredrieka had already heard from Mrs. Maily that Fritz was dead.
e. Mrs. Maily has four kids. Helen the youngest is getting married
soon. Mrs. Maily's husband has been bed ridden for 12 years with
rhumetism.
f. Suggests that Willie ( Wilhelm Heinrich LOHMANN, aka William
Henry Lohman, my father) come to Arkansas to learn about mining
and work with Herman FRY and learn about mining.
g. Katie LOHMANN MITCHELL, another sister, was in Belton going
to school in1905.
h. Annie, another sister, was with Emma for one month in 1905.
i. Annie was there when Emma got "Step-Mother's" letter
about not having been married to August in a church.
j. She apologies for the "hot" letter that she wrote
about his, August, not being married.
k. Implies that Hermann FRY's mother lives in their area and that
she is 73yrs.
I thank all for any assistance. John Lohman,

My Grandfather lived with relatives somewhere
near Harrison, Arkansas in BOONE COUNTY in the early 1900's. His
name was Manual Edward Guynn. His mother had died and family stories
go that his father remarried and the woman had children and he
did not get along with her so he lived with relatives in Arkansas
when he was 15 years old and did farm work. He was born 11/27/1898
and his parents names were Bluford Guynn and Ida Mae Sanders.
I would like
information on where to look for more on his parents Bluford and
Ida Mae. We know almost nothing about them. For anyone interested
in Manual Edward Guynn, he died on June 20, 1980 in Topeka Kansas.
Two of his daughters still live there and a third lives in Columbus
Ohio.

BAKER
02 Dec 1998
I am seeking information on my maternal grandfather's family.
His name was Felix Jasper Baker, b. 1888, d. 1939, son of Levi
Francis and Mary Ann Whitlock Baker, m. Effie Jane Cline of Marion
County (no date), one daughter, Florene Baker, b. 2/7/17, m. Lloyd
Fisk of Mountain Home 4/27/40. I found a marriage record on the
Boone County website showing Levi and Mary Ann as being married
on 6/25/1875 in Boone Co. Levi's father was Andrew Baker who had
a farm at Bear Creek Springs north of Harrison. My Mom says that
Andrew's brother was Felix S. Baker, for whom my grandfather was
named (along with Jasper Whitlock), who served at various times
as postmaster and federal land agent in Boone County.
I found a land patent for Felix S. in Boone County (1861). Andrew
also supposedly had a sister, Letitia, who married W. H. "Bill"
Cecil of the Cecils who had the big grocery/general store in Harrison.
Supposedly the Baker family came from either Smyth or Wythe County
in Virginia. My Mom's family lived intermittently in Harrison
and my grandfather was an auto mechanic and also ran a taxi cab
service.
I would appreciate your posting this message on your Query page.
If anyone has information on this family and can help me trace
them farther back, I would be most happy to correspond.

ERWIN / McCALLISTER (all spellings)
I am looking for families of John T. ERWIN, b. abt 1818, and Charlotte
McCALLISTER, b. abt 1821, probably in Mason Co., VA (now WV).
John was probably the son of Edward ERWIN and Mary BARNETT, but
I need proof. I would like to find the parents of Charlotte. She
was quite likely thedaughter of either James or William McCALLISTER;
each had a daughter about the right age, and each lived near the
ERWINs 1820-1840. John and Charlotte married about 1840-45, and
they were the parents of at least three children: Mary Margaret
(b. 1846), Samantha Jane (b. 31 Aug 1848), and Samuel (b. abt
1862, probably MO or AR). The family was in Putnam Co. VA (now
WV) in 1850, but I cannot find the parents after that. Does anyone
know where the family went from Putnam Co.? The most likely places
were southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, but I cannot find
them in those areas.
Margaret married Lewis LUNTSFORD/LUNSFORD/LOUNCEFORD and lived
in Taney Co., MO. Samantha married Henry C. HUNT, 15 May, 1870,
in Boone Co., AR, and they were the parents of four children:
Mary Gertrude, John Erwin, Oquilla Knox, and Cora Lou. This couple
went to Lamar Co., TX, where they both died. Samuel married first,
Lillie DORLAND, and second, Bettie ?, and lived in Taney Co.,
MO. Samuel and Lillie were the parents of John L., Stella L.,
Leonard J., and Florence Edith.
I would like to hear from anyone who knows anything about these
families. I have more information to share.

DESHIELDS
I am looking for Handy DeShields(1819?) and Nancy Womack DeShields
(1824?). I believe Nancy was born in Arkansas and Handy in Tennessee
(census records). Handy, William, John, Dan and Frances came to
Boone County (Lead Hill /Dubuque) in about 1840-1844. They were
supposed to be on their way to Oregon. Frances married in Little
Rock and never made Lead Hill. Dan and his familycontinued on
to Oregon never stopping in Lead Hill. We never heard about them
again. William DeShields and Elizabeth McBride DeShields stayed
in Arkansas from about 1840 to 1850, arriving in Oregon in about
1854. They left one daughter in Arkansas. The reason they stopped
in Arkansas is Elizabeth was pregnant. She had had a son, William
Jasper, born in Beech Grove, TN in 1838. Then a daughter in Little
Rock in 1843. I believe this may be the child who caused the stop.
They appeared on the tax rolls in 1844. Williams first child to
be born in Oregon was in 1851. We have been looking for this information
for 20 years. Please help us find William and Handy's parents.
I have several other genealogies for the Boone Co... Area I will
share.
