I am seeking information about Andrew A. Brown, former Captain of Company H in the 15th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, the famous "Scandinavian Regiment" that served during the American Civil War. He is believed to have ran a business in the Town of Northfield, Rice County, Minnesota, during the 1870's. There he was a member of the John F. Reynolds Post No. 51 of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R., the Union veterans organization). Other 15th members of Post 51 included: Andrew Burke, Ole J. Urness, and his brother Andrew J. Urness, all of Company B; Gustave Olson of Company F; and Martin J. Norde of Company I. An online profile of Capt. Brown is posted on the 15th Wisconsin website, which can be accessed through the URL with this query. Credit will be given on the 15th website for information used. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
I am seeking information on Elisha Grover who was shot to death in Northfield, MN on January 3, 1886. There was a headline in the Northfield News about the shooting. I am t rying to determine if this Elisha belongs to me. I called the library in Northfield, but they were unable to find the microfilm that had this headline. Would SKS be willing to look up Elisha Grover's obituary for me. I would be willing pay for the copy. Living in Vermont, I can't get there to do it myself. Thank you. Judy Grover judyg@sover.net

I have 17 old photos which were in an old photo album that I bought in Bandon, Oregon. They appear to be of a MEYER family. Many of them look like brothers and sisters. One was addressed TO MISS ANNA MEYER, YOUR TEACHER ISAAC HOULGATE. I just recently found out that he may have been an EPISCOPAL Minister in Faribault. Does anyone have access to their old school records to see if there was an ANNA MEYER? I want to get these pictures back to her family. Please help me... Thanks.
