GENEALOGY: Previously out-of-print tome available again

TERRE HAUTE — For those interested in the history and genealogy of Parke County, Indiana, there is the opportunity to purchase a previously out-of-print book. The Parke County Historical Society has again reprinted John Hanson Beadle’s 1880 History of Parke County. This book was originally part of Hiram W. Beckwith’s History of Vigo and Parke counties, together with historic notes on the Wabash Valley, gleaned from early authors, old maps and manuscripts, private and official correspondence, and other authentic, though, for the most part, out-of-the-way sources, published in 1880 by H. H. Hill and N. Iddings.

The Parke County section has been taken out of the larger volume and published as a separate work. It was last reprinted in 2005 by the Parke County Historical Society. Each copy includes a separate index.

For those who want to purchase a copy and pick it up in person, the cost is $40. The books can be picked up at the Parke County Museum, 503 W. Ohio St., Rockville, IN 47872, open Wednesday through Sunday 1-5 p.m., or the Rockville Public Library, 106 N. Market St., Rockville, IN 47872, open Monday through Thursday 8-7, Friday 8-6, and Saturday 8-4. For those interested in ordering a copy to be mailed to directly to their home address, the cost is $45. Call the Museum at (765) 569-2223 or the library at (765)569-5544 for details.

The Parke County Museum is also worth a visit to check some of its genealogy sources. Visitors can find the following records there: Parke County 1874 record, Parke County 1906 plat map, Memories of Pioneer Parke County, old Covered Bridge Tour records, Parke County newspapers on microfilm dating from December of 1853, census records on microfilm for Parke County and some surrounding counties up to 1920.

Query

n In search of Hines family of Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. My Great Grandmother is Elizabeth (Hines) Rogers. I can find very little information about her family. Elizabeth Hines married James Frank Rogers (son of James O. Rogers and Evana Lenderman) on Sept. 13, 1900, in Vigo County. She had two sons-Oscar Frank Rogers and Adelbert Clifton Rogers. Elizabeth Hines could also be known as Sarah E. Hines, Lizzie Hines/Heinze/Hinez, or Mary Elizabeth Rogers. The 1910 Census has her born about 1880 in Indiana. The father’s Birth Place is listed as Kentucky, and the mother’s Birth Place is listed as Indiana. She died in Terre Haute in October of 1953. She was 71 years old. Buried in Rose Lawn Memorial Park, and associated with Sacred Heart Church in Terre Haute. The funeral book of Elizabeth Hines has the mother and the father listed as Sarah Clark and George Hines. The 1900 Census lists a George Hines who could possibly be the father of Elizabeth Hines. His home in 1900 was Otter Creek, Vigo County, Indiana. Birth 1829, Kentucky. His Father’s and Mother’’s Birthplace is Kentucky. His spouse’s name was Sarah (born 1844 in Ohio, father’s birthplace: England). Their marriage was about 1840. The household members are George Hines (70), Sarah Hines (55), Elizabeth Hines (21), George Hines (19), and Edward Benight (10). Nothing known about son George Hines or Edward Benight. There may also be a Dolores in the Hines family somewhere. I have many old photographs of James F. Rogers and Elizabeth Hines with unknown people. I would love to verify and trade photos with someone. Please contact Rob Rogers, e-mail rrogers121241@yahoo.com.
