RESIDENCE OF OUR GRANDPARENTS

This may be considered a continuation of the MIGRATION ROUTES map. It shows where our grandparents lived from their births (end points on that earlier map) to their deaths. Although it depicts just one generation, this map is remarkably more complex. The earlier one displayed a progression of several generations, moving steadily westward into our expanding nation's interior. Here, movement occurs in all directions, facilitated by improvements in railroad and highway systems that occurred during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some further detail is shown in the Midwest map.

James Acree moved from Clarksville, Tennessee, by way of Cairo, Illinois (c1897-c1901), and Paducah, Kentucky (c1902-c1909, where he lost his first wife), to St. Louis, Missouri (c1910-1915), where he married Minnie Sachse, who was born there. They settled in McAlester, Oklahoma, in 1916.

Guy Hoover married Jennie Ogden near Rochester, Indiana. She had been born near Nekoma, Kansas, where her family homesteaded (1879-1887) before moving back east to Indiana. He held academic positions in Tucson, Arizona (1906-1908), and Pittsburg, Kansas (1909-1914), before the couple made their permanent home in Chicago in 1914.

Vonce Skipworth, born in New Madrid, Missouri, married Stella Nelson, from Davenport, Iowa. They lived in Kansas City, Missouri (c1895-c1901); Chicago, Illinois (c1902-1925); Detroit, Michigan (1931-1933); and New York City (1926-1930 & 1934-1937); before settling finally in Springfield, Ohio, in 1938. As a widow, Stella lived in West Palm Beach, Florida (c1953-1962).

John TenEyck and Emma Williamson, both raised in northern New Jersey, remained there, as several generations had before them, making their home in Franklin Park, New Jersey, in 1906.
