Henry's Adventure and Obituary -- Sunday's Obituary

“[FROM the IOWA STATESMAN — JAN. 3, 1850]

OBITUARY.

HENRY W. KILBOURNE, of Fort Madison, Iowa, died on the 23d of October last, at Sacramento City, California, aged 20 years.

Such is the brief record gathered from an eastern paper, of the death of the eldest son of David W. Kilbourne, Esq., of this place, who left his father's house in the month of May last, for the shores of the Pacific. 

No letters were received from him after his arrival in the valley of the Sacramento, and the first direct information his friends had about him is, that he is dead! They have learned nothing of the details of his sickness, or suffering — they only know that he is no more! 

His bereaved parents and brothers are overwhelmed by the mournful intelligence of his decease, and crushed down by a great sorrow, which He only who orders all things for His own wise, inscrutable, yet merciful purposes, can assuage. 

No young man ever stood fairer, or was more popular, in the community, where he was known, than Henry Kilbourne. Agreeable in his manners, kind in his intercourse with acquaintances and most fervently and affectionately attached to the inmates of his own home, he was a general favorite with all. All therefore, who knew him, deeply mourn for his loss, and feel it perhaps more keenly, when they remember that he died far away from his home, and in the very bloom and springtime of his youth. 

The desire of gathering gold had but little, if anything, to do with his journey over the plains; he was rather carried away by that irrepressible spirit of adventure, and travel, so common to the youth of our country, and especially those residing in the Mississippi Valley. 

From books and papers, which he left behind him, his parents find consolation in discovering that he was fully impressed with the uncertainty of life, and the necessity of preparing for another state. They are consoled to know that his mind was not wholly engaged in seeking riches on earth, but that he was also employed in laying up treasures in that place where 'neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.' And they will doubtless find solace in the well-founded hope that his spirit passed away from the Valley of the Sacramento, rich in earthly gold, to walk in that city whose 'streets are pure gold'-— the New Jerusalem.”

Taken from: Kilbourne, Payne K., The History and Antiquities of the Name and Family of Kilbourn (New Haven, Durrie and Peck, 1856). Pg. 333.


Note: Henry's father was a well-known lawyer and the family was quite wealthy.
Henry was my third cousin, four times removed.

Asking For Help -- Adoption of Mark Weiss or Mark Davis

The below letter was sent to me from a researcher in Missisquoi Co., Quebec, Canada. I obtained additional information and decided to post it here, in hopes he could be located for the family. The photo is of MARK WEISS / MARK DAVIS at age 1.



"Dear Friends, Family and all my Cemetery Contacts,

God help me, I'm hoping I will do a good job with this plea for help.


I have an Aunt, who is now 88 years old and quite possibly won't have many years left, this is her story more than mine but after trying to help the past few years without success I have decided that maybe the best way is through Internet. 


If everyone I send this to sends it on to their friends, family and e-mail contacts we should be able to cover the whole North American map and quite possibly help my Aunt in her quest. We will keep this simple and just maybe we will find him.


Many years ago she gave her son up for adoption, she did this in order to with the hope of giving him a better life than what she could afford to do at that time. She kept him as long as she possibly could without help from ex-husband, family or welfare and on minimum wages. After a time she made a heart wrenching decision with hopes that this child would have a better chance in life in a good home with 2 loving parents and possibly a good education to base his future life as an adult on.


She has kept his picture over the years, with all items, papers, letters etc concerning his adoption with the hope of someday finding him and being able to express her reasons for giving him to a  loving family and the love she still has in her heart for him. 


Her biggest fear over the years was that maybe he had died, but in the past year she was informed that he was still living so therefore the search goes on. 


His birth name was MARK WEISS / or MARK DAVIS and he was born on February 28, 1962 in Rhode Island.


If anyone has information concerning this man who will be 49 yrs old shortly, please have him contact me,  Marilyn ( his cousin), davism1582@gmail.com or Evelyn (his sister) at ever411@bellsouth.net"
______
When I wrote Marilyn, I told her I was very familiar with her name as she has posted many cemetery records on the internet, and I've used her information. I am hoping somebody will know of Mark Weiss, OR he will see this and contact either of the above two women.  Thank you.

Marilu Henner of "Taxi" Fame -- Follow Friday

Why would I want to follow the actress, Marilu Henner? If you are a news junkie, you already know, but if not, let me explain. Ms. Henner has a condition, I want. It is called Superior Autobiographical Memory, or hyperthymesia. Marilu has appeared recently on "60 Minutes" and just the other day on "The Today Show" and spoke about her rare condition. Although, has spoken of it in the past, those two recent shows were the first times I'd heard of it. I don't know a whole lot about her, other than watching her on "Taxi" and "The Apprentice" of which she didn't win, and a few movies. There are a lot of photos of her through Google images, I'm certain most of you will recognize her.


Can you imagine what it would be like, as a genealogist, to remember everything your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or any other member of the family ever told you about their lives? Does she even know what genealogy is? Here, I couldn't even remember how to spell her name, or what I needed at the grocery store.


I wonder if she has traced her lineage to see if anybody else in her tree had the same condition.  Could it be heredity? I don't know, but she did mention that her son also has the ability to recall what happened on such and such a date. Imagine that you would never be wrong with dates, events, and who said what. I could live with that.
