Hello, am trying to make Warren Co, IL, web site a little easier to view. Some of my pages go back to the beginning of when I first started and really need to be redone. Am in the process of doing this plus, adding information that has been sent to me for your pleasure. If you find any broken links or have any trouble be sure to email me.

Thanks for your support in while I make this transition.

My name is Foxie Hagerty and I am your host for this Warren County, Illinois site at American Genealogy & History Project. I dedicate it to my Terpening/Armstrong/Wallace/Whitman/Smith's who came and settled in the beginnings of its formation. How many other people whom I've had trouble finding have found me. With your help we can make it the best of the web. Thanks for your support

I thank you and all of our ancestor will thank you, too.

As of February 19, 2007, I am beginning work on my own family history book I hope to have ready for our Terpening/Armstrong Reunion on
September 2, 2007, (Will try and post a few things here on the updates of our coming Reunion) If you out of an Armstrong who married into the Terpening Family or out of any Armstrong's who began in Warren County, IL, coming from Ireland be sure to email me. We have seemed to lost track of the Armstrong side of the family and I would like to see it come back or know what happened to them. I can't do this alone I need some help here. Thanks!!!

I will not be able to do anymore look ups for you. Refer to the Look Up link below for other fellow researchers who may help you. Plus, will be trying to do some things to put some cemeteries back in order. We started in the Greenbush Cemetery, last summer LaDawn, Jorden, Kate, and I and have also found where there are some tombstones that have been removed we would like to put back. Have the Horney Cemetery to do some work on to. If you live in the vicinity or can help in anyway, be sure to email us your support in this matter & how you can help. Thanks!!!

Tribute to my Mother.

Emma Mae Terpening Anderson 

April 13, 1929--May 16, 2007

    Emma Mae Terpening was born April 13, 1929 to Katheryn Arleigh Shenaut & John Wesley Terpening. Emma lived with her parents until the death of her mother which occurred on July 24, 1938.

They lived there until mother was approximately sixteen years old. Emma was the second to the oldest. Her sister Arleigh Elizabeth, Mom, John Lawrence, Edith Irene, George Thomas Terpening. Only one of Emma's siblings survive. He younger sister Edith Irene of Yuba City, CA.

Funeral was Saturday, May 19, 2007, 10am, at Rux Funeral Home in Galva. Burial was in the Galva Cemetery, Knox Co., IL., beside my father.

ATTENTION: PLEASE READ;----- I am not doing anymore research for anyone. I have few things to get caught up on for people who I had promised earlier on. But I need to concentrate my efforts on my OWN family and getting them done, plus, my web pages, which I so much enjoy doing. I want to be and do more than I have in the past for our ancestors that have came before us their final resting places if they can still be found. I am only one person and can only do so much. I started out wanting to do put back some dignity in the way some of our people today and through the years have paid their homeage to older & what people call abandoned cemeteries. I want to do more with this & if that means giving up doing research for others then I have to. As I said I'm only one person and can only do so much. But I do need your help out there to accomplish this feat I'm going to tackle this next year. Will need funds to operate, location of lost abandoned cemeteries, people willing to help in the area., meaning the local area of where the cemetery is located at. Anything you think you might be able to help with be sure to let me know. Am posting this on all my web sites. Thanks for your cooperation in this matter & maybe we will finally find someone's long lost loved one.
