124	I can remember moving to Chicago from Danville, Illinois when I was five years old. We lived on the south side of Chicago and I went to Mercy High School. I was also a cheer leader for St. Rita high, an all boys school. I had a lot of different jobs when I was in school. When I was thirteen I did baby sitting and also worked at various times at the Fair store, Lyon and Healy music store, and the Merchandise Mart. After high school graduation I went to work in the personnel department of the Harris Bank where I met Dick Kowal in 1947. After a two year engagement, we were married in 1950.

127	I was the only child of Sam and Bessie Kowal. During my high school years I worked at a golf driving range, and then I was a caddy at the Riverside Country Club. I also had a job at the Melody Mill Ball Room where I worked in the wardrobe department and also as a `soda jerk`. Later generations might not understand the term so let me explain. It was a slang expression for anyone who worked behind a soda counter and made ice cream sodas, malteds, or mixed cokes for customers. Every drug store, dime store, and ice cream parlor had a soda counter in those days. Sports were my passion and I played football, basketball, and baseball, my favorite sport and the one in which I excelled at Riverside Brookfield High School. After service in the army during World War II, I attended night school at the Northwestern University downtown campus. During the day I was employed at the Harris Bank where I worked for my entire career. There was also a young lady in the personnel department named Marjorie Mauck. We went out together on our first date in 1947 and were married on April 27, 1950.	KOWAL, Richard Carl (I5)

130	It seems that he had collected his father's ancestry back to Francis Cooke of the Mayflower and had written it down in one of his two family bibles -- making 7 or 8 pages of family record in one of his family bibles. Mrs Sarah Ustick cut out all the leaves but one of the family ancestries from that family bible to take home and copy. Sometime after copying it her house was destroyed by fire and the family ancestry back to Frances Cooke was burned. Jabez Cook Pierson had written a copy of it and took it to Texas when he moved there. The Confederates burned his house, and that copy was destroyed. The mutilated original family bible is in the possession of James Scott Pierson, a grandson if he is still living. Had Mrs. Sarah Usack let the family bible alone and copied the records from it the Cook family would now doubtless have a lot of Cook records that are forever lost. Stephen Cook's other family bible containing the names and dates of births only of himself, wife and children is in possession of Clarissa M Newell, of Martinsburg, O., a granddaughter." North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 C Cooke The genealogy of Francis Cooke and other families: together with a list of the Mayflower passenger --written by Joseph Herman Simpson, son of Matilda Hubbard Cook and Jabez Simpson the records Mary Jane Brown (5 September 1834 ? 19 December 1914 ? KH16-JB3) sent him were much more complete than any others he had received. She sent him as much as she could about her grandmother Brown's descendants, as well as a vast amount of far back Cook records. as well as much other cook and Brown records, the editors note at the beginning says the information the 1st 4 generations is less reliable, but it is a treasure trove of information regarding people who were contemporaries of the author. http://interactive.ancestry.com/61157/46155_b289981-00101?pid=1559646&backurl=http://search.ancestry.com//cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv%3D1%26dbid%3D61157%26h%3D1559646%26tid%3D69757956%26pid%3D80026071981%26hid%3D84656330974%26usePUB%3Dtrue%26_phsrc%3DPDs561%26_phstart%3Ddefault%26usePUBJs%3Dtrue&treeid=69757956&personid=80026071981&hintid=84656330974&usePUB=true&_phsrc=PDs561&_phstart=default&usePUBJs=true#?imageId=46155_b289981-00027	COOKE, Stephan Sr. (I858)

132	Jefferson Detrow, father of Ida, grandfather of Myrtle Feicht Fisher, great grandfather of Joseph N. Fisher was born in 1843 and died in 1930 at the age of 87. Jefferson married Eliza Fisher (no relation to the Joseph Fisher branch) and they raised six children: Ida, Emma, Sylvanus,Dayton, Sidney, and Kathryn. Joseph N. Fisher remembers Grandpa Detrow even though he was only six years old when Jefferson died. After his wife died, Jefferson Detrow lived in North Lima, Ohio and my grandmother Ida (Jefferson Detrow's daughter) was his housekeeper after she was widowed. When your grandfather (Joseph N. Fisher) visited, Grandpa Detrow sometimes gave him a candy mint. Burial: Mount Olivet Cemetery North Lima Mahoning County Ohio, USA Plot: Section A Row 3	DETROW, Jefferson (I62)

134	Jim was the youngest of six children and he grew up on Sunny Acres, a farm that his father managed for two prominent Chicago businessmen, Bill Johnson and Arthur Cutter. Jim's early life was fun and adventurous and he vividly remembers one of his many escapades. "When I was three years old I snuck into the farm worker's boarding house and found a loaded gun. My sister Fran was scrubbing floors when I came into the house carrying the revolver and pretending she was a cowboy, I said, "I shoot you," and pointed the loaded gun at the back of her head. At that moment my mother walked into the room, took the gun away from me, and I'm sure would have fainted on the spot but she was too scared." I went to a one room school house when I lived on the farm and it was difficult for me to adjust to regular school after we moved to Downers Grove, although the adjustment became easier after I met Barbara Meister. Barbara Jean Meister spent her early childhood in Chicago where she learned to swim in Lake Michigan and to ice skate in the winter. As she recalls her youth, Barbara says: "Every Saturday I walked twelve blocks to the library and borrowed my limit of ten books which I read during the week. I did well in school and even though my family didn't have a lot of money, I had a wonderful childhood. We lived with my grandparents all my life untilâ€ƒ I was married. During World War II my family lived in California and we moved to Downers Grove from there. According, to Barbara, Jim was fortunate to have flunked , American History because when he repeated the course he sat next to her and she was impressed because Jim owned his own car. They dated for two years during high school. Both Jim and Barb started working at age 15; he at the local feed store and she at the dime store in Downers Grove. After graduation, Jim went into construction, achieved his carpenter's card and earned his living as a carpenter for the rest of his working life. Barbara worked for the telephone company in Chicago and stayed there for two years until she and Jim were married. Jim built their home at 317 63rd Street in Downers Grove and as the family expanded, Jim built additional rooms. During our early married life we were surrounded by relatives which brought our families very close together. Their cousins were like brothers and sisters to our kids. We enjoyed camping and by the time our kids got too busy with their own lives we had visited all the western states. No history of our family would be complete without mentioning Wausaukee, Wisconsin, our family's favorite place to be. We have been going there for 35 years and have enjoyed its calm serenity even more since Jim retired in 1985. We call it our "Golden Pond" and we are so happy that our children and grandchildren also love it and we spend a lot of time there together. After all, what is life without a loving family?	MEISTER, Barbara (I208)

138	Joseph Henry and Cora Ellen Holden Mauck Children?s Reunion History written by Reba Mauck Hacker on August 15, 1982 For the 1990 Joe Mauck Family Reunion July 21 and 22 ? Roderick Farm ? Bismarck, IL Dad was born on East Main Street, Danville, Illinois on March 25, 1873 to Vincent and Marie Eilinger Mauck. Vincent was born in Germany in 1835 and married Frances Eilinger and had 3 boys. She died and he later married her sister, Marie and they had five children. Marie was also born in Germany in 1845. Dad was baptized in St. Joseph?s Catholic Church in Danville. Mom was bom in Batestown, Illinois on November 1, 1873. She was the daughter of Alex and Sarah Andrews Holden. Sarah was born on a steamship enroute from London to Canada on September 24, 1839 and was raised in an orphanage due to the early deaths of her parents, Vincent and Mary Andrews. Sarah?s husband Alex was born in 1823 and was a widower with small sons when he married her. Mom was always a Methodist. They met in Batestown, and on March 16, 1895 they traveled by train to Crawfordsville, Indiana to be married in the courthouse there. They set up housekeeping in a log cabin in Batestown on top of a wooded hill. Theodore Paul (named for Teddy Roosevelt) was born there on November 28, 1895. When Paul was still a baby, they moved to Tilton, Illinois and Dad worked in a coal mine there. Later, they moved back to Batestown where Dad operated his own coal mine. From then until the mid-1940?s, he operated 3 coal mines ?two in Batestown and one in Catlin, the Central Coal Co. On January 1, 1898, William Ray was born. On February 18, 1900, Little Sister was born. She was premature and died before being named. On March 18, 1901, Ernest Vincent was born, named after Grandpa Mauck, Dad?s father. On January 21, 1903, Everett Alvin was born, named after Uncle Alvin Holden. On November 27, 1904, Mabel Evelyn was born. Though Mom always wanted her first girl to be named Reba, this baby was born on Cousin Mabel Kelly?s 16th birthday. So Mabel it was, which she has never liked! The next baby, the 7th child, was born on December 14, 1906 and named Reba Ellen. The Ellen was taken from Mom?s middle name. When Inez Louise was born on June 7, 1909, both mother and baby almost died. On August 14, 1911, Wilbur Dale was born, and Gerald Edward came along on June 25, 1914. By now we have a large house with an upstairs. On September 13, 1916, Irma Mae was born, named after Irma Lenover. In 1917, Dad built a grocery store just south of our home. It did fairly well and closed in 1921. In 1920, Mom was 46 years old and gave birth to Joseph Donald on July 10. He was named for Dad. After an even dozen children, Dad was ready to quit! In June of 1921, Dad met with an accident in his own mine. His hand was badly smashed and blood poisoning set in and they had to amputate. He was 48 years old. Our house now had nine rooms -four upstairs and five downstairs, four porches and a back house with a Sears and Roebuck catalog! In August 1922, we moved to 2701 N. Vermilion St. in Danville. There were so many tragedies in our family. Paul was killed instantly in Dad?s mine in November 1913 just a week before he would have been 18 years old. Mom was two months pregnant with Gerald and it was hard on her, but fortunately Gerald was born healthy. On February 22, 1933, Everett met with an accident at the Catlin mine and passed away the next day --just 30 years old. In the early 1930's, Wilbur had an accident on his motorcycle and hurt his leg. It wouldn?t heal and osteomyelitis set in, so they put bone wax in the leg and set it in a cast for a year. Mom took care of him. When they removed the cast, fortunately he could walk. Mom died March 31, 1958 and Dad died November 7, 1961 at the ages of 84 and 88 respectively. I remember Dad as a freehearted and friendly soul, always joking and never meeting a stranger. Mom was timid and sincere and worked so hard for her family. They were wonderful parents and did a fine job of raising their children.	Family: Joseph Henry MAUCK / Cora Ellen HOLDEN (F116)

141	Laura May Neuenschwander Daughter of Celia Malvina Tucker and Christian Neuenschwander Laura May NEUENSCHWANDER (LK4T-FK1) {my aunt} was born on March 16, 1916 at Yakima, Yakima County, Washington (according to the Tucker Family Tree at Ancestry.com). However, findagrave.com at Memorial No. 38897789 indicates that she was born on March 16, 1915 (the year of her birth is indicated as 1915 on her common gravestone with her husband).

Fisher at the time of the 1920 federal census for Montgomery Township, Ashland City Ward 3, Ashland County, Ohio (see Sheet 12A enumerated on the 9th and 10th of January 2017). Donald served as a Commander in the United States Navy. There is a record of Donald being on the United States Navy Ship General Alexander M. Path (TAp122) which departed New York, New York on January 21, 1955 (see United States Passenger and Crew Lists for 1914-1966). Laura passed away at the age of 91 years on August 3, 2007 at Seattle, King County, Washington with her remains at the Tahoma National Cemetery (Plot: Section L, Row A, Site 64) at Kent, King County, Washington (see findagrave.com at Memorial No. 38897789).

I can remember moving to Chicago from Danville, Illinois when I was five years old.

We lived on the south side of Chicago and I went to Mercy High School. I was also a cheer leader for St. Rita high, an all boys school.

I had a lot of different jobs when I was in school. When I was thirteen I did baby sitting and also worked at various times at the Fair store, Lyon and Healy music store, and the Merchandise Mart.

After high school graduation I went to work in the personnel department of the Harris Bank where I met Dick Kowal in 1947. After a two year engagement, we were married in 1950.

I was the only child of Sam and Bessie Kowal. During my high school years I worked at a golf driving range, and then I was a caddy at the Riverside Country Club. I also had a job at the Melody Mill Ball Room where I worked in the wardrobe department and also as a `soda jerk`. Later generations might not understand the term so let me explain. It was a slang expression for anyone who worked behind a soda counter and made ice cream sodas, malteds, or mixed cokes for customers. Every drug store, dime store, and ice cream parlor had a soda counter in those days.

Sports were my passion and I played football, basketball, and baseball, my favorite sport and the one in which I excelled at Riverside Brookfield High School.

After service in the army during World War II, I attended night school at the Northwestern University downtown campus. During the day I was employed at the Harris Bank where I worked for my entire career.

There was also a young lady in the personnel department named Marjorie Mauck. We went out together on our first date in 1947 and were married on April 27, 1950.

It seems that he had collected his father's ancestry back to Francis Cooke of the Mayflower and had written it down in one of his two family bibles -- making 7 or 8 pages of family record in one of his family bibles. Mrs Sarah Ustick cut out all the leaves but one of the family ancestries from that family bible to take home and copy. Sometime after copying it her house was destroyed by fire and the family ancestry back to Frances Cooke was burned.

Jabez Cook Pierson had written a copy of it and took it to Texas when he moved there. The Confederates burned his house, and that copy was destroyed. The mutilated original family bible is in the possession of James Scott Pierson, a grandson if he is still living. Had Mrs. Sarah Usack let the family bible alone and copied the records from it the Cook family would now doubtless have a lot of Cook records that are forever lost. Stephen Cook's other family bible containing the names and dates of births only of himself, wife and children is in possession of Clarissa M Newell, of Martinsburg, O., a granddaughter."

Jim was the youngest of six children and he grew up on Sunny Acres, a farm that his father managed for two prominent Chicago businessmen, Bill Johnson and Arthur Cutter.

Jim's early life was fun and adventurous and he vividly remembers one of his many escapades.

"When I was three years old I snuck into the farm worker's boarding house and found a loaded gun. My sister Fran was scrubbing floors when I came into the house carrying the revolver and pretending she was a cowboy, I said, "I shoot you," and pointed the loaded gun at the back of her head. At that moment my mother walked into the room, took the gun away from me, and I'm sure would have fainted on the spot but she was too scared."

I went to a one room school house when I lived on the farm and it was difficult for me to adjust to regular school after we moved to Downers Grove, although the adjustment became easier after I met Barbara Meister.

Barbara Jean Meister spent her early childhood in Chicago where she learned to swim in Lake Michigan and to ice skate in the winter. As she recalls her youth, Barbara says:
"Every Saturday I walked twelve blocks to the library and borrowed my limit of ten books which I read during the week. I did well in school and even though my family didn't have a lot of money, I had a wonderful childhood. We lived with my grandparents all my life untilâ€ƒ
I was married. During World War II my family lived in California and we moved to Downers Grove from there.

According, to Barbara, Jim was fortunate to have flunked , American History because when he repeated the course he sat next to her and she was impressed because Jim owned his own car. They dated for two years during high school.

Both Jim and Barb started working at age 15; he at the local feed store and she at the dime store in Downers Grove. After graduation, Jim went into construction, achieved his carpenter's card and earned his living as a carpenter for the rest of his working life. Barbara worked for the telephone company in Chicago and stayed there for two years until she and Jim were married. Jim built their home at 317 63rd Street in Downers Grove and as the family expanded, Jim built additional rooms.

During our early married life we were surrounded by relatives which brought our families very close together. Their cousins were like brothers and sisters to our kids.

We enjoyed camping and by the time our kids got too busy with their own lives we had visited all the western states.

No history of our family would be complete without mentioning Wausaukee, Wisconsin, our family's favorite place to be. We have been going there for 35 years and have enjoyed its calm serenity even more since Jim retired in 1985. We call it our "Golden Pond" and we are so happy that our children and grandchildren also love it and we spend a lot of time there together.

After all, what is life without a loving family?

Joseph Henry and Cora Ellen Holden Mauck Children?s Reunion
History written by Reba Mauck Hacker on August 15, 1982
For the 1990 Joe Mauck Family Reunion
July 21 and 22 ? Roderick Farm ? Bismarck, IL

Dad was born on East Main Street, Danville, Illinois on March 25, 1873 to Vincent and Marie Eilinger Mauck. Vincent was born in Germany in 1835 and married Frances Eilinger and had 3 boys. She died and he later married her sister, Marie and they had five children. Marie was also born in Germany in 1845. Dad was baptized in St. Joseph?s Catholic Church in Danville.

Mom was bom in Batestown, Illinois on November 1, 1873. She was the daughter of Alex and Sarah Andrews Holden. Sarah was born on a steamship enroute from London to Canada on September 24, 1839 and was raised in an orphanage due to the early deaths of her parents, Vincent and Mary Andrews. Sarah?s husband Alex was born in 1823 and was a widower with small sons when he married her. Mom was always a Methodist.
They met in Batestown, and on March 16, 1895 they traveled by train to Crawfordsville, Indiana to be married in the courthouse there. They set up housekeeping in a log cabin in Batestown on top of a wooded hill. Theodore Paul (named for Teddy Roosevelt) was born there on November 28, 1895.

When Paul was still a baby, they moved to Tilton, Illinois and Dad worked in a coal mine there. Later, they moved back to Batestown where Dad operated his own coal mine. From then until the mid-1940?s, he operated 3 coal mines ?two in Batestown and one in Catlin, the Central Coal Co.
On January 1, 1898, William Ray was born. On February 18, 1900, Little Sister was born. She was premature and died before being named. On March 18, 1901, Ernest Vincent was born, named after Grandpa Mauck, Dad?s father.

On January 21, 1903, Everett Alvin was born, named after Uncle Alvin Holden. On November 27, 1904, Mabel Evelyn was born. Though Mom always wanted her first girl to be named Reba, this baby was born on Cousin Mabel Kelly?s 16th birthday. So Mabel it was, which she has never liked! The next baby, the 7th child, was born on December 14, 1906 and named Reba Ellen. The Ellen was taken from Mom?s middle name. When Inez Louise was born on June 7, 1909, both mother and baby almost died. On August 14, 1911, Wilbur Dale was born, and Gerald Edward came along on June 25, 1914.

By now we have a large house with an upstairs. On September 13, 1916, Irma Mae was born, named after Irma Lenover. In 1917, Dad built a grocery store just south of our home. It did fairly well and closed in 1921. In 1920, Mom was 46 years old and gave birth to Joseph Donald on July 10. He was named for Dad. After an even dozen children, Dad was ready to quit!

In June of 1921, Dad met with an accident in his own mine. His hand was badly smashed and blood poisoning set in and they had to amputate. He was 48 years old.
Our house now had nine rooms -four upstairs and five downstairs, four porches and a back house with a Sears and Roebuck catalog! In August 1922, we moved to 2701 N. Vermilion St. in Danville.

There were so many tragedies in our family. Paul was killed instantly in Dad?s mine in November 1913 just a week before he would have been 18 years old. Mom was two months pregnant with Gerald and it was hard on her, but fortunately Gerald was born healthy. On February 22, 1933, Everett met with an accident at the Catlin mine and passed away the next day --just 30 years old. In the early 1930's, Wilbur had an accident on his motorcycle and hurt his leg. It wouldn?t heal and osteomyelitis set in, so they put bone wax in the leg and set it in a cast for a year. Mom took care of him. When they removed the cast, fortunately he could walk.

Mom died March 31, 1958 and Dad died November 7, 1961 at the ages of 84 and 88 respectively. I remember Dad as a freehearted and friendly soul, always joking and never meeting a stranger. Mom was timid and sincere and worked so hard for her family. They were wonderful parents and did a fine job of raising their children.

Laura May Neuenschwander

Daughter of Celia Malvina Tucker and Christian Neuenschwander

Laura May NEUENSCHWANDER (LK4T-FK1) {my aunt} was born on March 16, 1916 at Yakima, Yakima County, Washington (according to the Tucker Family Tree at Ancestry.com). However, findagrave.com at Memorial No. 38897789 indicates that she was born on March 16, 1915 (the year of her birth is indicated as 1915 on her common gravestone with her husband). Laura married Donald Jefferson FISHER on June 2, 1940 at Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York who was born on June 19, 1917 at Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio (see Tucker Family Tree). Laura and Donald have one son Donald.

It is likely that Donald at age two years and six months (which verifies the date of birth provided above) is in the household of his parents, Joseph M. and Myrtle M. Fisher at the time of the 1920 federal census for Montgomery Township, Ashland City Ward 3, Ashland County, Ohio (see Sheet 12A enumerated on the 9th and 10th of January 2017).

Donald served as a Commander in the United States Navy. There is a record of Donald being on the United States Navy Ship General Alexander M. Path (TAp122) which departed New York, New York on January 21, 1955 (see United States Passenger and Crew Lists for 1914-1966).

Laura passed away at the age of 91 years on August 3, 2007 at Seattle, King County, Washington with her remains at the Tahoma National Cemetery (Plot: Section L, Row A, Site 64) at Kent, King County, Washington (see findagrave.com at Memorial No. 38897789).

Joe and Cora were married in the Court House in Crawfordsville, Indiana on March 16, 1895 and set up housekeeping in a log cabin on top of a wooded hill in Batestown. Their first child, Theodore Paul (named for Teddy Roosevelt) was born there on November 28, 1895.

Joe and Cora moved to Tilton, Illinois when Paul was still a baby. Joe worked in a a coal mine and later they moved back to Batestown where Joe operated his own coal mine. From then 1940s he operated coal mines; two in Batestown and one in Catlin, The Central Coal Company.

In June of 1921, Joe met with an accident in his own mine. His hand was badly smashed resulting in blood poisoning and the doctors amputated his hand. He was 48 years old.

There were so many tragedies in our family. Paul was killed instantly in Dad`s mine in November 1913, one week before he would have been 18 years old. Cora was two months pregnant with Gerald (their tenth child) at the time of the accident.

Then on February 22, 1933, Everett was in an accident at the Catlin mine and passed away the next day at the age of 30. In the early `30s Wilbur had an accident on his motorcycle and hurt his leg. It wouldn`t heal and osteomyelitis set in. The doctors put bone wax in the leg and set it in a cast for a year. Fortunately he could walk when the cast was removed.

Joe Mauck was 88 and Cora was 84 when they died. I remember Dad as a freehearted and friendly soul, always joking and never meeting a stranger. Mom was timid and sincere and worked so hard for her family. They were wonderful parents and did a fine job of raising their children.
