Aftermath of the 1896 Cyclone in St. Clair County, Illinois and its effects on Samuel Ogle's farm and environs. : Samuel Ogle came from Wilmington, Delaware, with his family to this state in 1818 and bought much land from the government. He wanted neighbors and gave farms to relatives to induce them to come from Delaware to this state. In 1833 Samuel Ogle built a commodious brick house of nine rooms, large halls and attic with cellar under. He burned the brick for the house in a field back of that house and the rooms were each 15 by 15 feet., with a large fireplace in each room. The windows were medium size and contained 20 panes of glass apiece (note: photos show that upstairs they were 8 over 12, while the downstairs windows were 12 over 12, or 24 panes total). The floors were heavy oak planks, the joists were oak and many of the 195 nails were hand made. The rafters for the ceilings were made of saplings and some had bark left on two sides (and were) fastened together by wooden pegs. In 1896, the house, barn and other buildings were wrecked by a terrible cyclone but the family of nine persons escaped death or injury by going into the cellar. The heavy oak floors downstairs were left on the foundation and the grandson who lived there at that time, Eugene Benton Ogle, built a new house on the old stone foundation. This farm is high, about 21 miles from the foot of the bluffs and is 10 miles from St. Louis, Missouri.

Acorn Brassworks in Chicago in 1904 : These nine photos of James Seaton Knight's business in Chicago, Illinois are presented full size at about 7 x 9 inches at 200ppi with full jpeg resolution, and nothing has been done to change them in any way. They are historic documents and appear to have been taken in 1904. The calendar in the office photo has been scanned, greatly enlarged and sharpened and thus it appears to be January of 1904. The Acorn Brassworks originally made parts for gas lighting fixtures, but apparently also made parts for pressure lamps and later even electric lamps. Sometime later the business became the Knight Soda Fountain Co. Any of these photos may be right-clicked and saved to your hard drive for printing, education or enjoyment, and such a photo will be a digitized replica of the original.

Peterson, Gee and Knight Family Photos : This gallery of Peterson and Gee family photos could never have been gathered or documented without the help of these family members: Florence Koeller Gee, Joseph Gee’s widow, who just passed away in December of 2005 and who sorted out and corrected family records for me with great patience back in the 90s; Linda Stilwell Wemyss, daughter of Dorothy Ellen Knight Stilwell and great granddaughter of Alma Mathilde Fredrika Peterson Knight, who loaned me the earliest photos of Carl Edward Peterson and Charlotta Carolina Carlson Peterson and some others; Don Gee who sent the great family gathering photos of Gees and Knights and other photos; Jim Gee Jr. who loaned me the two photos of the Peterson millwork business; and Marion Gore, daughter-in-law of Gladys Gee Gore, who sent so many old photos of Ellen and George Gee as well as new ones of the crazy quilt apparently created by Charlotta Carolina Peterson and the Peterson cemetery monument. You have all created this wonderful gallery, and I do hope that in the future if there are other photos out there waiting to be discovered, you will share them with me and your many cousins. My email address is jamieos@sbcglobal.net and any time you find a photo you’d like to add just email me.
