Nancy:
I live in Daviess Co., IN; James Thomas BEST was my
great great grandfather, who was married the 2nd time or more to Anna Ruminer.
If I have my facts straight, Anna had a son Willie, so did
my grandfather, not the same boys.
It was old that Anna's son Willie played the "fat boy" in the
circus. I'm wondering what circus? Willie grew up and married, I can't remember her name but they wanted to adopt
my great aunt Ethyl BEST. As her mother already had so
many children didn't think she'd miss one. But the adoption
was denied.
So Willie and his wife moved up around Terre Haute IN (Vigo
Co.,)
I have a picture of Willie with a horse in Plainville IN, in a
Daviess Co., history book.
It was said his father is buried in the LawernceCo IL cemetery.
I was wondering if this Anna Ruminer's maiden name was
Carnes.
If you want to talk to me about this write me at my email
address..........

Major Arthur S. Rothrock of Daviess County Indiana and the US Army, was killed December 15, 1944, while serving in the South Pacific during World War II. His status remains missing or buried at sea and his name is honored on the Tablets of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
Hello, I am a retired American veteran residing in the Philippines with my Filipino wife. A year ago we visited the memorial as visitors but came home with a mission in our hearts. As we gazed over the beautifully manicured acres and the 17,202 American graves, it was obvious only a few families had ever visited their graves.
I stepped into the soft grass and focused my camera on one of the white crosses, a grave of an Ohio soldier. A strange calmness was in the air as I walked a few more steps and a cross of an Indiana soldier lay square in my path. The letters of the inscription on the marker was bolder than ever, here lay a soldier from my home state.
At that moment a quiet brainstorm aroused my humble thoughts. I wondered if I could locate any of the families of these men. My stride became more defined and within a few moments I had located and photographed eight more graves.
Since those gut-wrenching but touching moments we have energized our efforts in finding the families of these American men from Indiana. We have located well over 100 and have delivered the FREE photographs to them via email.
Please visit our website and see the men we have honored and the families we have assisted in finding a more genuine closure of a horrible tragedy.
http://fizkid.tripod.com/
Our success in finding the families was the result of journalists, amateur genealogists, historians, historical societies, librarians and lots of wonderful Hoosiers and those with Indiana ties across America.
During our search we have also reached families from other states as well and have filled special requests for photos from the Manila American Cemetery. We presently have photographed only the graves of the Indiana soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen; however we have photographed all of the names that are engraved on the "Tablets of the Missing". We offer them free of charge to anyone who asks.
We ask for your help in finding their families. We understand this is a genealogy board but we do not need immediate genealogy in that form, we need leads to find the families. Please become one of our special volunteers today and find the family of an Indiana serviceman from near your home. A list of the men from your Indiana county is available, free and all you must do is request it.

I have extensively researched the line of McCords originating from David McCord, who was killed in Derry Twp, Lancaster Co., Pa., in 1758.
One branch of the family settled in Fleming Co., KY, then on to Daviess Co., Ind. I descend from Thomas H. McCord of that line, who moved to Nebraska in 1869.

I have what is called applications on indef. loan at LDS family history, and all it gives is someone verifying that he or she knows so and so and that they are not now married and that they are of age to marry without parents consent, and sometimes it is a parent giving the consent. They do not give the info like the other county applications. Hope you have better luck.
