Looking for Ione Hada's Father
"My husband is always
interested in old Alva history. He collects old advertising from Alva
Businesses and all the old Northwestern
Castle on the Hill items he can find. Your archives have been
a great source of information to us. We now live in the house across
from your parents old home on Skyline. Have great week.
Do you have any ideas to help our family
search? My grandma Ione Hada's father disappeared without word leaving
the family (wife and 7 children). Nothing was ever heard of him after
they picked up his car in Hardtner, Kansas. Info I have: Name: Oren
Hinman LITTLE; Sex: M; Birth: 18 MAY 1888 in Chapin, Franklin County,
IA; Note: Has also been found as born in Hampton, IA. Father: Linter
Alvin LITTLE b: 11 JAN 1855 in Cherry Valley, Ashtabula County, OH;
Mother: Rosetta Elther HINMAN b: 29 SEP 1860 in Cottage Grove, Ramsey
County, WI; Marriage: 1 Leona MERKLIN b: 1891 in Cass County, MI,
Married: 18 AUG 1912 in Kiowa, Barber County, KS.
Grandma said he left home (near yellowstone)
in 1933 when she was 13. Uncle Dwight Little (his son) drove to Hardtner
to pick up his car at the railroad station. Later someone got word
to them that the car was there. Oren is listed in the 1920 census
in Yellowstone. I don't find him on the 1930 census, but not all states
are on line yet. I would think it would be worthwhile to check to
see if he is on the 1940 census somewhere.
Grandma Ione said they could never
find that he got a social security number. But it wasn't required
until 1935 or after he left. He is not listed on the SS Death list
to date. I wondered if we could find a marriage certificate for another
marriage at a later date. How about a drivers license archives search?
I forgot to add that someone thought
he was running a feedstore in Red Cloud, Nebraska. My dad said that
Walter Adams of northwest woods county onece started to tell him something
about Oren but his wife elma Adams walked by at the time and he stopped
mid-sentence and never would say anything about it again. Is there
some National Graves Registration we could research? Thanks for any
ideas!" -- Dixie - Email: nursedix2@yahoo.com
