Last weekend I was visiting the area and found a small newspaper article on
my Great Great Grandfather, William Ice.
The article was dated Friday, November 26, 1897 from the Waterloo Press
Wm Ice of Auburn, while working in the woods in Jackson township, last
Thursday pm had the misfortune to be struck on the head by a falling limb, which
caused his death in two hours. He was in the employ of the Auburn Hoop Factory,
and under fifty years, leaving a large family in meager circumstances.
It also listed that his will was: Probate order book P 267 (dated Mar
1901-1903)
I have yet to find this will.
Also what was the Hoop Factory?
