[S302] Biography of Elder J.O'Kane, The Riverside Press, Louisiana, Pike, Co, MO. (10 May 1877), "Was born in Rockbridge County, Va., Sept. 22, 1802, came to Pike county in 1866, and resides on his farm on Sugar Creek. He has been preaching over fifty three years. He is the father of Commander James O'Kane of the United States Navy. Eight children were born to him--six now living, three boys and three girls. Elder O'Kane's father lived to be 97 years old and the son holds fair to duplicate the father's age." [It should read "to duplicate the MOTHER's age", his father died probably in his 60s before 1828 & his mother was living at the age of 93 in 1850.]

[S534] Seitz family records in Germany compiled and supplied by Suzy Bettac <e-mail address> 8/99 Peter Seitz, who arrived on the ship William and Sarah 18 Sep 1727, in Philadelphia, was from Walldorf, Baden, Germany. The break came on chasing Johannes Eckmann, baptism sponsor for many of the Seitz children. Our confusion about two Peter's in Lancaster Co., PA having children at the same time has now been solved. Hans Peter Seitz b. 26 Dec 1684 in Walldorf, son of Martin Seitz, had a son Johann Peter b. 29 Mar 1712. Because Peter [Jr] is just 14 when they arrived he was not listed separately from his father. It was a father and son we saw having children at the same time in Lancaster County in the later 1740's. Hans Peter Seitz was married 17 Feb 1711 to Anna Christina Reinhardt, daughter of Adam, in Walldorf. The marriage listed below his is that of Johannes Eckmann to Dorothea Seitz, a daughter of Johann Martin Seitz. These men were brother-in-laws which accounts for the closeness of the two men on the ship and of the families in the PA church records in Lancaster County. Because the children appear to be grouped in two separate date clusters, it would seem that Peter (2) married Anna Maria Wendsperger after arriving in the U.S. Peter and Christina Reinhardt Seitz' children in Germany were: Johann Peter b. 29 Mar 1712; Johann Georg Wendel b. 6 Feb 1714; Eva Barbara b. 17 Mar 1718; Johann Georg Wendel b. 1 May 1720; Caspar b. 18 Oct 1723; Johann Ludwig b. 1726. Peter we have accounted for. Caspar shows in the Pequea Church records in 1762 then vanished; Barbara I believe married John George Wuerffel - but this is not proven. Wendel and Ludwig are unaccounted for as yet. Since the ship passenger list says Peter brought 4 1/2 people with him the numbers don't add up correctly for all the children to have survived. The source for these records is: LDS Film no. 1,189,119 for births and no. 1,189,120 for the marriages.

[S2278] Obituary of William H. Van Dorn, from the Van Buren Co Web Site, posted from the Entler Scrapbook, Vol. 2, Iowa State Historical Library, Iowa City, IA, by a volunteer, "William Van Dorn was born in Ohio, February 10, 1832, and died at Bonaparte, Iowa, September 5, 1900, aged 68 years, six months and 25 days. He came to Iowa in 1855 and was united in marriage with Sarah O'Kane, July 3, 1857. To this union was born one child, Mary Anna, with whom he resided at the time of his death. His companion died January 4th, 1900. Mr. Van Dorn was among those who moved to Idaho in 1862, remaining there some time. Several years after returning to Bonaparte he engaged in the grain business, and was later a partner of T. H. Hopkins in the boot and shoe business here, retiring from that business about 15 years ago. He was last engaged in the agricultural implement business with his son-in-law, Phil Eich. He had been in poor health for several years past, but his death was not expected so soon. ...The funeral occurred from the residence of Phil Eich, Friday afternoon...".

[S2279] From the Van Buren Co, IA GenWeb site: "After Months of Suffering Mrs. Van Dorn Passes Away. As the months and years pass on, many of the older residents of Bonaparte are joining the "silent majority." Indeed, during the past two years the Grim Messenger has harvested many in fullness of years from the field of this locality. Of these his latest acquisition was our well-known and many-respected resident, Mrs. Van Dorn. Sarah O. Kane was born in Lincoln Co., Ohio August 3, 1831. She came to Iowa in 1856 and was united in marriage to William Van Dorn July 3, 1857. To this union was born one child, Mary Anna (Mrs. Philip Eich) who with her father and daughter mourn her loss. At an early age she united with the Baptist church at Kukersville, Ohio, of which she remained a member until she united with the Presbyterian church of Bonaparte. She died January 4, 1900, at the age of 68 years, 5 months and 1 day. Mrs. Van Dorn was a woman of most excellent Christian character and deeds. She was an active Christian worker and will be greatly missed in the church. Her kindness in times of sickness and trouble has been experienced by many. Her family, the church, and the community have been blessed by her life. During her last sickness she frequently expressed her desire "to go home." Funeral services were conducted at the residence of Mr. Philip Eich, Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 9th, by her pastor, Rev. W. H. Scofield. They were largely attended, and many friends also were present at the interment in the Bonaparte cemetery. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: James Bridge, L. C. Meek, D. W. Riggle, A. McDonald, H. H. Meek and J. H. Cresap."
