Nancy, my name is Cheryl. I have a great interest in the Keehns as that is my maiden name. My family leads directly back to Arthur Ruger Keehn. I have run into the same issue that you have with locating Louie (Luey) Luning (Lunning). From what I am gathering he may be either Norwegian or Swedish. I have had one of my children DNA tested and there is Scandinavian influence in our bloodline. Anyway, I thought you might like to connect with another Keehn working on the same mystery.
I am sorry for your loss. I have lost some loved ones recently too and my mom is a recent widow. Take your time, surround yourself with people that care about you and let yourself grieve. Those roller coaster emotions may pop up every once in a while. I will keep you in my prayers. No rush on any Genealogy stuff.. it can wait. Writing a journal can help in your grieving process and talking about your feelings with loved ones helps too. Take good care.
I remember reading somewhere...maybe it was the history of Manlius, Onondaga County, New York that the name was originally spelled Kuehn. I will look through my info and see if I can figure out where I saw it. I just finished a 23 page research report on Hiram Coon b. 1832 (Manlius, Onondaga, New York d. 1875 Palmyra, Jefferson, Wisconsin.
I could not post my oldest Coon ancestor on the comment space so please look at my blog on Genealolgy Wise to see it. The post is a timeline for Ephriam Coon with partial dates for his children. I am descended from Hiram Coon's Daughter Ada Coon who married Francis Darling Riddell.
Nancy, Were your Kuehns located in New York or Wisconsin? I have Coon ancestors that were from Manlius, Onondaga, New York and then in Wisconsin, in the Palmyra, Jefferson County, Wisconsin.
Nancy, I also have three ancestors that worked for Chicago Northwestern: Christian DeYoung (1890), Phillip Dahlberg and Gustav Dahlberg. I will keep my eyes out for Claydon D*** Herbert if you keep your eyes out for my three guys in Railroad records.
Have you tried looking in newspaper collections for the obit?
