Hi,
I don't know if this person is related to you, but my fathers fathers name was James Issac Matheny and he was from Peoria when he married my grandmother Hilda Catherine Koski (she usually went by Catherine and had a nickname Cid.She also may have been teaching school a the time) who was from Minnesota.They separated before he was born and my dad was born in Hibbing, MN and grew up in Stevenson, MN (this was a mining town that is no longer there) and his name is also James.My dad is almost 70 and his father according to the birth certificate was 30 when he was born (according to the birth certificate he was a laborer at the time and also heard rumor he may have worked in the engineering field), so that put his father being born around 1901.I did see a James Matheny in the Social Security lisitng that fits the town and dates, but I have no idea if that's him.My dad has 1 picture of him and never actually met him.
If you have have any information, please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Terri Stolz
