Dear Researchers:
Sorry, in my previous e-mail I meant to say that I hoped CLARESSA NEAL who m. JOHN KITCHEN in 1833 or 1834 In Vanderburgh Co. would be one and the same with MALISSA NEAL.
Sorry about the error.

Dear Fellow Researchers:
I wonder if anyone could assist me with the lookup of book and page for the following marriage in Vanderburgh County.
JOHN KITCHEN to CLARESSA NEAL on December 25, 1833 or December 25, 1834.
I have contacted the courty clerks office and they will not do a lookup for me without a book and page number. They referred me to the Williard Library, but they do not have marriages cataloged back that far. I would be ever so grateful for any assistance. I am hoping that this marriage will be the marriage of my husbands GG Grandparents. Her name was actually Malissa, but I'm hoping the Claressa I have found online is one and the same with Claressa.
I would really appreciate any info from anyone who might have the index to books and pages of the old marriage records index.

Lynnea,
I am also researching my lineage from Spirkelbach and I'm hoping we could help each other. My GGrandfather Henry Schneider (1861-1922) emigrated from Spirkelbach in about 1887 and brought his future wife Elisabeth Jung (Elizabeth?) (1868-1936), whom I'm told was also from Spirkelbach through Canada to Niles, Berrien, Michigan. Does your research show Elisabeth or her brother Karl (Carl?) Jung?
Hoping to hear back soon,
Jeff Schneider

KILLED BY TRAIN THIS AFTERNOON
This afternoon at 2:40 o’clock an unknown man was struck by a train and instantly killed at the E & T. H. tracks and Virginia St. The coroner is now in charge of the case.
1/11/1910, Evansville Courier, page 2
UNKNOWN MAN KILLED BY CARS
Knife in Pocket Bears Name “Homer Roach” – Identity is Suspected
Face is Unrecognizable
Warning Shout Unheeded by Aged Man as Train Sped Toward Him
Body is Held in Morgue Awaiting Identification by Some of His Relatives
An unknown man, aged about 55 years, having in his pockets a knife bearing the name “Homer Roach” was killed instantly yesterday afternoon when an L. O. switch engine backed into him near the E. & T. H. crossing at Virginia street and dragged him for seventy feet. He was taken to Johann;s morgue. As yet the body has not been identified. He may be Thomas Roach of Somerville, Ind.
The man was seen walking down the track, with his back to the approaching train by a negro named Jim Simmons. Simmons noted the danger and yelled to the man to get out of the way. The aged man failed to hear him or a least paid no heed.
The man was hit by the rear of the tender and was dragged over seventy feet. After the engine stopped the train crew pulled the mangled body from under the engine and notified Coroner Laval who arrived on the scene shortly after the accident. The man’s body was badly cut and mangled and death had been instantaneous.
Coroner Laval made an examination of the dead man’s pockets but failed to find anything to throw any light on his identity with the exception of a pocket knife. The handle was transparent and had the name “Homer Roach” inscribed thereon. A pocket book and a pair of iron knucks were the other articles in the man’s pockets.
The dead man was of medium height and had black hair, flecked with gray. Coroner Laval thinks that the man was deaf and failed to hear the warning shout. He was fairly well dressed and appeared to be a man in moderate circumstances.
Last night the coroner made efforts to identify the man and had several people call at the morgue but none of them was able to tell who the victim was. The only Homer Roach listed in the city directory formerly resided at ?810 East Indiana street, but the house is now occupied by another family.
John H. Roach, who lives at 623 Locust street and is a fireman on the E. & T. H. railroad, was out on the road all day yesterday. When located at a late hour last night, he stated that he had a cousin by the name of Homer Roach but that the latter was only twenty-one years of age and lived on Louisiana street.
John Roach thinks that there is a possibility of the dead man being his father, Thomas Roach, of Somerville, Ind. He will visit the morgue today to identify the man if possible. His father he said, often visited him here in Evansville and might have arrived xxx yesterday. John Roach formerly lived on Indiana street and there is a possibility that his father was trying to find his way to his son’s home when he was run down.
Thomas Roach, the father, was about fifty-five years of age and answers the description of the train’s victim in most respects. His son stated last night that his father was somewhat deaf.
John Roach learned of the tragedy too late to go to the morgue last night but will go there early this morning and view the body.
Evansville Journal News, 1/11/1910, Page 1
PAID NO HEED TO WARNING GIVEN
William A. Marks, Teamster, Is Run Down by I. C. Engine and Killed
The body of the aged man who was killed instantly Monday afternoon by an Illinois Central switch engine near the E. & T. H. crossing at Virginia street, was identified early Tuesday morning as that of Williams A. Marks, a teamster, 2110 Division street, by his widow, Mrs. Sudie Marks, and his stepson, Charles Leonard, South Governor street, at the Johann morgue.
Testimony before Coroner Laval Tuesday morning of John Newman, the engineer in charge of the switch engine, Pete Schaeffer, the fireman, W. E. Ziegler, the gate tender at the railroad crossing, and James Simmons, a negro laborer, who witnessed the accident, convinces the coroner that the railroad crew were not at fault.
Simmons told Coroner Laval that he called to Marks when the engine was about seventy feet away, warning him of his danger. He said Marks did not heed his command.
Coroner Laval believes the man was deaf and failed to hear the warning. The engineer, fireman and gate tender testified that the engineer blew the whistle as a warning to Marks in ample time for him to escape death.
The death of Marks was instantaneous. When Coroner Laval examined the body he found both legs broken and the skull crushed, the entire body being in a badly mangled condition. He was hit by the rear end of the tender and dragged over fifty feet. Coroner Laval made an examination of the man’s pockets and could find nothing to establish his identity. A pocketknife bearing the name of “Homer Roach” gave rise to the belief that it might be a man by that name living at Somerville. Coroner Laval got into communication with the family by that name in Somerville Monday night and discovered that it was not he.
Learning Tuesday that a man had been killed by a switch engine whose body had not been identified, Mrs. Marks feared that it was probably her husband, who she had not seen since Monday at dinner time. She called on her son to accompany her to the morgue to ascertain whether it was her husband. The body was in such a state that the woman could recognize the face of her husband and she notified the coroner.
Evansville Courier, 1/12/1910, page 1
MAN IDENTIFIED BY KNIFE TRADE
Charles Leonard, Who Read Story in The Courier, Finds Victim is Step Father
The rememberance of a trade in pocket knives with Homer Roach of Louisiana street several weeks ago, lead Charles Leonard, of South Governor street to suspect that the man who was killed on Monday near the railroad crossing at Virginia street was his step father. Taking his mother, Mrs. Sudie Marks, with him to Johann’s morgue, yesterday morning at 9:30 o’clock, he identified the body as that of William A. Marks, 51 years old, a teamster, 2110 Division street.
When Marks failed to return home on Monday night his wife was greatly worried, and confided her fears to her son. Yesterday morning when Leonard picked up a copy of The Courier and read that a knife bearing the name of Homer Roach had been found in the aged man’s pocket, Leonard remembered his step father telling him of his trade with Roach.
Leonard hastened to the home of his mother and accompanied her to the morgue. Although Mark’s face was badly disfigured and his body mangled, the two had no difficulty in identifying the body. The body was removed to the home on Division street yesterday afternoon and will be buried today at 2 o’clock. The knife was the principal factor in identifying Marks, as Leonard stated that he had seen his step father using it.
According to the testimony before Coroner Laval yesterday, Marks had found work rather slack and had decided to go to the home of his brother-in-law on Louisiana street and help him move. He took the railroad track as the shortest way there and failed to heed the approach of the train. He was struck by the tender of the backing engine and dragged for fifty feet. He was killed instantly and was pulled from beneath the engine by the train crew.
John Newman, the engineer; Pete Schaffer the fireman; W. E. Zeigier, the gate tender, and Jim Simmons, a colored train hand, were examined by the coroner yesterday and testified that before approaching the Virginia street crossing the engine had whistled and did not expect any danger as Marks had “plenty” of time to get out of the way. Simmons, who warned Marks of the approaching train stated that Marks paid no attention to him when he shouted the warning. Mrs. Marks claims her husband was not hard of hearing but must have become confused as there are five or six tracks at this crossing and expecting the train to pass on a different track thought he was in no danger.

My apologies to listers from out of state. Please hit your delete
button. For listers who live and research in Indiana, there is a golden
opportunity to increase our access to public records and to expand on a
patron-friendly atmosphere that exists at the Indiana State Archives.
For several years Dr Alan January, State Archivist, has been Co-Director of
the Indiana Commission on Public Records (ICPR) with Connie Hume and Judge
John Newman. The ICPR is the agency which creates and/or distributes state
forms and documents. The State Archives has been part of this agency for a
number of years.
Governor-Elect Mitch Daniels will select his candidate for ICPR
Director. As a long-time volunteer at the State Archives, I feel
comfortable suggesting to you that you consider an email to Governor-Elect
Mitch Daniel's website on behalf of Alan January's candidacy.
That website is:

Besides including your personal information, you will need to include the
following:
Dr Alan January
5638 N Delaware St

ajanx2(a)excite.com
Under Dr. January's leadership the volunteer program has grown from a
handful to more than 40 volunteers working to make Indiana records
available to Hoosier researchers. Several databases have been made
available on-line, and I believe several more would be on-line quickly
under Dr January's leadership. Researchers could request copies of
documents the existence of which is currently unknown to them. The State
Archives has vast collections to pique the interest of many. I sincerely
believe much progress would be made if Dr January were Director of the ICPR
In a day when access to many vital records is being legislated away, let's
take a positive step toward disclosure of public records to which we can
have access.

The Law Avenue I am familiar with, is the current Virginia Street on Evansville's west side, specifically beginning at St. Joseph Avenue and running west to where it terminates at Tekoppel. Virginia Street east of St. Joseph may also have been Law Avenue as well, but I am not certain of that. At one time, the name Law Avenue was incised into the old concrete sidewalk at Mt. Vernon and Virginia. Law Avenue was named for the most prominent of the platters/developers of Lamasco (part of westside Evansville). Attorney John Law moved to Evansville in 1851 from Vincennes. He was later elected as a US Congressman for 2 terms, beginning in 1861.
