married in 1925, 9nd came to hi
nois in 1898, with his father and six
or seven other sons and daughters.
John Stark. my gTeat-grandfather
died in 1850, but l have no record
of his birth or who lie married, or
when or where my great-grand-
mother was born and what her name
was, but they lived III Bourbon
county.

ary record that will help me in my
quest for information. If there are

GET DIPLOMA FOR
CLASS COMPETITION

Monday afternoon diploma was
received by the New Ulm Turnverein
awarding the active class the 9th prize
of the fourth group in the National
funniest held in Chicago last June.
When the prizes were announced, i'm
mediately after the funniest, the New
Ulm Turnverein was not mentioned as
one Of the winners in the class compe-
tition and the members Of the classes
were naturally disappointed at not re-
ceiving class prize, altho they re-
ceived prize for their model number
as did also the ladies' class.
It now develops that the committee
in charge of the work computing the
prize. winners made errors in comput-
ing the points made by the active class
from the local society and that re-
figuring has established the fact that
the New Ulm class should have been
awarded the 9th prize which has now
been done at this late date and the
diploma sent to the society. The mem
bers of the class and the teacher, Prof.
Anton Leibold are quite elated. over
this additional diploma.
