If you think any of these belong to you, I can check the funeral logs to see if I can get any more info for you and can even mail you a copy of the funeral log page if they are listed. ---------- Denise

GREENMAN, (a minor) for $1 to me in hand paid, his time as if of lawful age. I will not try to collect any of his earnings or pay any of his debts of his contracting after this date. William M. GREENMAN, Tampico, Ill, Feb. 24th, 1891. (Obvious, interesting, relationship of John J. with father William M. - John J. was 17 at the time.) December 19, 1896 John GREENMAN, who had the misfortune of spraining his ankle last week by falling off from a load of hay, is now able to get around without the assistance of cane or crutch. February 22, 1902 There will be several changes in the neighborhood about March 1st. John GREENMAN will move upon the Mrs. Elsie McKENZIE farm, vacated by Pleas. DOW; Clarence SHERE will live on the HOPKINS place, vacated by George GREENMAN, who moves to the NOON farm. (Elsie nee PELTON wife of Hiram McKENZIE was the step-grandmother of John GREENMAN's wife Maude McKenzie nee FOY. Elsie died in 1904).

I am not sure how Jay GREENMAN is.) August 29, 1903 YORKTOWN Mr. and Mrs. Homer BURNS, of Tampico, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John GREENMAN last Sunday. (Mrs. Homer BURNS is Mabel C.

I will continue looking on my end. We have a "John Greenman" buried in our TMC. Died Jan 7, 1911 at the age of 35. Unfortunately, prior to 1919, our funeral logs don't give too much info. Log says services were ordered by "Train Job". This is posted on a lot of entries, but I do not know what it means. Usually a family members name is in that entry. I haven't checked to see if I have his obit yet, but will try to do it in the next day or two. ---------- Denise Family History Coordinator Tampico Area Historical Society Last Edited by on Nov 19, 2006 5:49 AM

Tampico Tornado January 13, 1911 DEATH OF JOHN GREENMAN John GREENMAN of Drinkwater, Canada who formerly lived in this vicinity, died Sunday evening at the hospital in Moose Jaw from typhoid fever according to a message received here Monday by his father, Wm GREENMAN. John was taken sick about three weeks previous to his death at Drinkwater and two weeks ago was moved to the hospital at Moose Jaw where he died. A message was received Wednesday afternoon by Milton FOY stating that relatives had started with the remains for Tampico. It is expected that the body will reach here Friday morning and the funeral will be held the same afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Christian church and the Woodmen will have charge. The deceased was born April 17, 1874 in Prophetstown township and spent practically all his life in the vicinity of Tampico and Yorktown until a couple years ago when he moved to Canada. He was married Jan. 23, 1900 to Maude FOY who with five small children survive, the oldest being about nine years old. Ten sisters and brothers also survive. The deceased was a son of one of the old inhabitants of Tampico and has a large number of friends and acquaintances here who regretted to learn of his death. ---------- Denise Family History Coordinator Tampico Area Historical Society
