Anyone ever heard of Hamburg?
population 129. Its near Alton, near St. Louis....
Im going to Il this summer with my mom. Her family is having a small reunion in Peoria. Her family are McLaughlin's from Henry and Sparland (more small towns). While we are out there from CA, we will also visit Hamburg. There is a small cemetary out there, Indian Creek Church of Christ/cemetery that I would like to visit and see relatives headstones that may be there.
Does anyone know of this small town or any of its "Rosa" residents in Hamburg or Alton?

Was one of your relatives named Cecil Rosa?
My grandfather, "Penny" Phillips, was a neighbor and close friend of Cecil Rosa (nickname "Fat Rosie") back in late 1930's in rural Hamburg, IL.

I'm glad you mentioned Phillips as I have mystery. Among my late mother's possessions I found many family keepsakes including a picture of Uncle Howard Pilllips that looks to be taken in the late 1930s or maybe a little later.
I have no idea where he lived or how he was related to they family. She did have Michel/Michael kin in the St. Louiis area - and I've often wondered if the two families were related. |
