28268	Source: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=55449573 Obituary of Columbus Alexander Christian. Source: The Tarkio Avalanche. 16 Sept 1921. C. A. Christian, formerly a resident of Tarkio, died suddenly on Wednesday evening, September 7th, just as the interurban car on which he was a passenger pulled into the station at St. Joseph. Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon, September 10th, at the home of the dead man's sister, Miss. Margaret Christian, north of Tarkio. Rev. J. Jay Cokeley of Centennial Church preached the funeral sermon. Burial was delayed until the next afternoon, waiting the arrival of a son, James C. Christian, from Mountain Home, Idaho. Rev. Bentley of St. Joseph held prayer services at the home and at the grave at Tarkio Cemetary on Sunday. Among the out-of-town attendants at the funeral, in addition to the relatives, were A. L. McPherson, True Davis, and T. F. McKee of St. Joseph. Mr. Christian lived in and near Tarkio for more than fifty years of his life and had many relatives and friends throughout the county. He had led an active and useful life and until the illness which eventually caused his death was unusually vigorous for a man of his years. Although the doctors had offered but little hope for his full recovery, his sudden death was a shock to the whole community. Columbus Alexander Christian was born near Rock Port, Missouri January 3, 1858, son of J. C. H. and Mary Christian. He died at St. Joseph, Missouri, Wednesday, September 7, 1921, aged 63 years, 8 months, and 4 days. When he was yet a boy, the family moved to the Christian homestead north of Tarkio where C. A. Christian grew to manhood. On September 16, 1878, he was united in marriage to Flora D. Bennett of Summit, Mississippi and to this union nine children were born, all of them now living. They are Ben F. Christian, Pine River, Minnesota; Mrs. Burton E. Wetherell, Carthage, Missouri; James C. Christian, Mountain Home, Idaho; Mrs. Chancey E. Clark, Long Beach, California; George T. Christian, South America; Mrs. Harry Ward, Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Gordon Jones, St. Joseph, Missouri; Harry S. Christian, Tarkio, Missouri; Mrs. Hope Mayfield, St. Joseph, Missouri. Of the twenty one grandchildren, nineteen are still living. Three brothers and a sister also remain to mourn the loss. They are T. T. Christian, Tarkio, Missouri; Jesse E. Christian, Pine River, Minnesota; Creed F. Christian, Newman's Grove, Nebraska; and Margaret M. Christian, Tarkio, Missouri. Mr. Christian was engaged in farming and stockraising near Tarkio until 1908, where he removed to St. Joseph, Missouri. Mrs. Christian died in 1917, since when he has made his home for the most part in Kansas City and St. Joseph. Hundreds of people, of three generations in this community, regarded 'Lum' Christian as a real friend. Few men have been held in such high esteem and by so many people for so long a time. The sincerity of his nature and the honesty of his whole life will be remembered always by everyone who called him friend and to all of these his going is a real loss.

28269	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_de_Warenne,_Countess_of_Arundel Alice, the only daughter of William de Warenne (1256-1286) and Joan de Vere, daughter of Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford, was born on 15 June 1287 in Warren, Sussex, six months after her father was accidentally killed in a tournament on 15 December 1286. On the death of her paternal grandfather, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey in 1304, her only sibling John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey succeeded to the earldom. He became estranged from his childless wife and they never reconciled, leaving Alice as the heir presumptive to the Surrey estates and title. In 1305, Alice married Edmund Fitzalan, 9th Earl of Arundel, the son of Richard Fitzalan, 8th Earl of Arundel and Alice of Saluzzo. Edmund and his brother-in-law John de Warenne were the only nobles who remained loyal to King Edward II, after Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March returned to England in 1326. He had allied himself to the King's favourite Hugh le Despenser, and agreed to the marriage of his son to Despenser's granddaughter. Arundel had previously been granted many of the traitor Mortimer's forfeited estates, and was appointed Justice of Wales in 1322 and Warden of the Welsh Marches in 1325. He was also made Constable of Montgomery Castle which became his principal base. Her husband was captured in Shropshire by the Queen's party. On 17 November 1326 in Hereford, Arundel was beheaded by order of the Queen, leaving Alice de Warenne a widow. Her husband's estates and titles were forfeited to the Crown following Arundel's execution, but later restored to her eldest son, Richard. Alice died before 23 May 1338,[aged 50. Her brother died in 1347 without legitimate issue, thus the title of Surrey eventually passed to Alice's son, Richard. CHILDREN Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel, known as Copped Hat.

28270	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aymer_of_Angoul%C3%AAme He was was the last Count of Angoulême of the House of Taillefer. Aymer succeeded his brother in 1186, and soon after was at the court of Richard the Lionheart, then Duke of Aquitaine and thus Aymer's lord, to receive recognition of his accession. The Count remained a steady ally of the kings of England against the rebellious House of Lusignan. By 1188, Aymer had married Alice of Courtenay, the daughter of Peter I of Courtenay and thus granddaughter of King Louis VI of France. His daughter and only child, Isabel, Queen of England, succeeded him as Countess of Angoulême. Her title, however, was largely empty since her husband denied her control of her inheritance as well as her marriage dowry and dower. King John's appointed governor, Bartholomew de Le Puy (de Podio), ran most of the administrative affairs of Angoulême until John's death in 1216. In 1217 Isabella returned and seized her inheritance from Bartholomew.	d'Angoulême, Aymer Count of Angoulême (I35208)
28271	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Matilda She was also known as Empress Maude and was the daughter of of King Henry I of England and Matilda of Scotland, born around 7 February 1102 at Sutton Courtenay in Oxfordshire. Her father, Henry, was the youngest son of William the Conqueror, who had invaded England in 1066. Little is known about Matilda's earliest life, but she probably stayed with her mother, was taught to read, and was educated in religious morals. She moved to Germany as a child when she married the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, her first husband. The match was attractive to the Henry as his daughter would be marrying into one of the most prestigious dynasties in Europe, reaffirming his own, slightly questionable, status as the youngest son of a new royal house, and gaining him an ally in dealing with France. They had no children, and when Henry died in 1125, the crown was claimed by Lothair II, one of his political enemies. Matilda's younger brother, William Adelin, died in 1120, leaving England facing a potential succession crisis. On Henry V's death, Matilda was recalled to Normandy by her father, who arranged for her to marry Geoffrey of Anjou to form an alliance to protect his southern borders. The marriage proved difficult, as the couple did not particularly like each other. There was a further dispute over Matilda's dowry; she was granted various castles in Normandy by Henry, but it was not specified when the couple would actually take possession of them. Henry I had no further legitimate children and nominated Matilda as his heir, making his court swear an oath of loyalty to her and her successors, but the decision was not popular in the Anglo-Norman court. Henry died in 1135 but Matilda and Geoffrey faced opposition from the Norman barons. The throne was instead taken by Matilda's cousin Stephen of Blois, who enjoyed the backing of the English Church. Stephen took steps to solidify his new regime, but Matilda crossed to England to take the kingdom by force, supported by her half-brother, Robert of Gloucester, and her uncle, King David I of Scotland, while Geoffrey focused on conquering Normandy. Her son, Henry, remained in France. Matilda's forces captured Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, but the Empress's attempt to be crowned at Westminster collapsed in the face of bitter opposition from the London crowds. As a result of this retreat, Matilda was never formally declared Queen of England, and was instead titled the Lady of the English. Robert was captured following the Rout of Winchester in 1141, and Matilda agreed to exchange him for Stephen. Matilda became trapped in Oxford Castle by Stephen's forces that winter, and was forced to escape across the frozen River Isis at night to avoid capture. The war degenerated into a stalemate, with Matilda controlling much of the south-west of England, and Stephen the south-east and the Midlands. Large parts of the rest of the country were in the hands of local, independent barons. This time was called the Anarchy because of the unrest. Matilda returned to Normandy, now in the hands of her husband, in 1148, leaving her eldest son, Henry, to continue the campaign in England; he eventually succeeded to the throne as Henry II in 1154. She settled her court near Rouen and for the rest of her life concerned herself with the administration of Normandy, acting on Henry's behalf when necessary. Particularly in the early years of her son's reign, she provided political advice. She worked extensively with the Church, founding Cistercian monasteries, and was known for her piety. She was buried under the high altar at Bec Abbey after her death in 1167. Her tomb's epitaph included the lines "Great by birth, greater by marriage, greatest in her offspring: here lies Matilda, the daughter, wife, and mother of Henry", which became a famous phrase among her contemporaries.	of England, Matilda (I35271)
28272	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Plantagenet,_Count_of_Anjou He was the Count of Anjou, Touraine, and Maine by inheritance and then Duke of Normandy by conquest and called the Handsome or the Fair (French: le Bel) and Plantagenet. When he married Empress Matilda, the daughter and heiress of Henry I of England, their son, Henry Curtmantle, who succeeded to the English throne as King Henry II and founded the Plantagenet dynasty the name of which was taken from Geoffrey's nickname. Geoffrey was the elder son of Foulques V d'Anjou and Eremburga de La Flèche, daughter of Elias I of Maine. He was named after his great-grandfather Geoffrey II, Count of Gâtinais. Geoffrey received his nickname from the yellow sprig of broom blossom (genêt is the French name for the planta genista, or broom shrub) he wore in his hat. Geoffrey and Matilda's marriage was meant to seal a peace between England/Normandy and Anjou. She was eleven years older than Geoffrey, and very proud of her status as empress dowager (as opposed to being a mere countess). Their marriage was a stormy one with frequent long separations, but she bore him three sons and survived him. Geoffrey and Matilda's children were: Henry II of England (1133-1189) Geoffrey, Count of Nantes (1 June 1134 Rouen to 26 July 1158 Nantes) died unmarried and was buried in Nantes William, Viscount of Dieppe (1136-1164) died unmarried Geoffrey also had illegitimate children by an unknown mistress (or mistresses). When King Henry I died in 1135, Matilda at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin Stephen of Blois for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. In 1139 Matilda landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the "Anarchy" which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in February 1141, and imprisoned at Bristol. A council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Matilda "Lady of the English". Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself re-crowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 January 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in the summer of 1144. He also put down three baronial rebellions in Anjou,and the threat of rebellion slowed his progress in Normandy. He could not intervene in England because of this. In 1153 the Treaty of Wallingford stipulated that Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Henry, the son of Geoffrey and Matilda should succeed him. Geoffrey died suddenly on 7 September 1151. According to John of Marmoutier, Geoffrey was returning from a royal council when he was stricken with fever. He arrived at Château-du-Loir, collapsed on a couch, made bequests of gifts and charities, and died. He was buried at St. Julien's Cathedral in Le Mans France.

28273	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildegarde_of_Burgundy She was a French noblewoman and the only daughter of Robert I, Duke of Burgundy with his second wife, Ermengarde of Anjou. She was by marriage, the Duchess of Gascony and Aquitaine. Hildegarde married William VIII, Duke of Aquitaine; she was his third wife had three children: William IX, Duke of Aquitaine Agnes of Aquitaine, Queen of Aragon and Navarre Beatrice William?s birth was a cause of great celebration at the Aquitanian court, but the Church at first considered him illegitimate because of his parents? consanguinity. This obliged his father to make a pilgrimage to Rome soon after his birth to seek papal approval of his marriage to Hildegarde.	of Burgundy, Hildegarde (I35269)
28274	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippa,_Countess_of_Toulouse Philippa was born in approximately 1073 to Count William IV of Toulouse, and his wife Emma of Mortain. She was his only surviving child, and thus, by the laws of Toulouse, his heir. 1088, William went on a pilgrimage to Palestine, leaving his brother Raymond of Saint-Gilles [Raymond IV] as regent. Upon the death of her father, her uncle took over as Count and Philippa was disinherited. She married William IX of Aquitaine in 1094, whom she considered worthy due to his numerous merits: a handsome man fully capable of flattering a woman and he was not only one of the most prominent Dukes in Europe, able to give her the life she felt she deserved. His realm was also conveniently situated next to Toulouse, and consequently would easily be able to regain her homeland for her own as the Duke promised to do for her. When Raymond IV of Toulouse set out on the First Crusade in the autumn of 1096, he left his son Bertrand to rule the County. However, in the Spring of 1098, William and Philippa marched into the city of Toulouse, and took control without a single life being lost. In the next year, she gave birth to her first child in the city: William the Toulousain. In 1099, her husband went on crusade and he left her as regent in Poitou. She was stunned when her husband mortgaged Toulouse to her cousin Bertrand in exchange for a vast sum of money, which the Duke used to go on Crusade himself. Philippa, removed from her home, was sent to his capital of Poitiers, from where she ruled Aquitaine on behalf of her husband while he was absent. After William's return, he and Philippa for a time lived contentedly with each other, producing a further five daughters, and a son, Raymond. She also ignored the Duke's sexual boasting in song and talk, instead concentrating on religion. She was an admirer of Robert of Arbrissel and persuaded her husband to grant him land in Poitou to establish a religious community dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In 1100 he founded Fontevraud Abbey there. In the teachings of Robert of Arbrissel, he preached the superiority of women over men. Philippa's obsession with a doctrine considered offensive by many men of that time, combined with William's growing dissatisfaction with her, and his teasing of her (claiming to be founding an abbey of prostitutes), led to discord in the marriage. Toulouse had been won back by William for his wife in 1113, following the death of Bertrand in Syria in 1112: his heir being his half-brother, the 9 year old Alphonse-Jourdain, William had been unopposed. Thus, by 1114, Philippa was spending most of her time ruling there. Accordingly, she was less than pleased when, upon her return from Toulouse to Poitiers in 1114, she discovered her husband to have moved his mistress, Viscountess Dangereuse of Châtellerault, into her palace. Philippa appealed to friends and the church for assistance in ousting her husband's mistress, but to no avail ? none could persuade the Duke to give up his mistress. In 1116, a humiliated Philippa, devastated by her husband's repayment of her service to him for so many years, left the Court, taking refuge at the Abbey of Fontevrault. However, for all Philippa's devotion to the Abbey and its ideals, she found little peace there, both angry and resentful that her husband had cast her off in favour of a mistress. She died of unknown causes there on 28 November 1118, survived by her husband and his mistress.	of Toulouse, Philippa Countess (I35265)
28275	Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_IV,_Count_of_Toulouse William was Count of Toulouse, Margrave of Provence, and Duke of Narbonne from 1061 to 1094. He succeeded his father Pons of Toulouse upon his death in 1061. His mother was Almodis de la Marche, but she was kidnapped by and subsequently married to Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona when William was a boy. He was married to Emma of Mortain (daughter of Robert, Count of Mortain and a niece of William of Normandy), who gave him one daughter, Philippa. He also had an illegitimate son, William-Jordan, with his half-sister Adelaide. He married twice, and produced two legitimate sons; neither, however, survived infancy, leaving daughter Philippa as his heiress. As Toulouse had no tradition of female inheritance, this raised a question with regard to succession. In 1088, when William departed for the Holy Land, he left his brother, Raymond of Saint-Gilles, to govern in his stead (and, it was later claimed, to succeed him). Within five years, William was dead, and Raymond in a perfect position to take power, although, after Philippa married William IX of Aquitaine, they laid claim to Toulouse and fought, off and on, for years to try to reclaim it from Raymond and his children. He was the great-grandfather of Eleanor of Aquitaine, by his daughter's marriage to William IX of Aquitaine, and Eleanor's descendants would continue to lay nominal claim to Toulouse based on descent from William IV.	of Toulouse, Count William IV (I35267)

Subsequently, the children became wards of the State of Illinois. The Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society has been very helpful in detailing the events occurring to this family and the children. Most were put into foster homes and most remained in limited contact into their adulthood. Many, despite the hardships of the Great Depression, multiple foster homes or orphanages, rose above their humble beginnings and became productive, contributing members of society. There are several stories of several of these children overcoming these poor odds and becoming successful business people and/or parents. Daniel Emerson Wilkins was reported to be living in or near Dekalb County, AL with another family in 1952 with a son, Douglas, who "was not an orphan". No further information is known to date.
