VOLUME 13
NUMBER 2
A Bi-annual
Newsletter for the Descendants of the Couts Family #45
It is the
goal of this newsletter to create interest in and share the research for the
Couts (pronounced Koutz) and Allied Family
genealogy. It can only be written with
the cooperation of each family member.
We encourage each of you to send in your family group sheets and enter
data as far back as you can find. The
information that you find within its covers will be as “true” as we can
prove. We gladly accept articles,
photos, genealogy lines, and family stories.
GUESTBOOK EMAILS
To All My Kautz Cousins and Friends:
The biography of
August Valentine Kautz is now available. Researched and written by me and
beautifully published by McFarland & Co., the book is in 7x10 format, 303
pages long and printed on acid free paper, with more than 40 photos and maps,
plus bibliography and endnotes and it is well indexed. Although I
might be biased, I can recommend it to anyone interested in the Kautz family or
in the American Civil War. It would make an impressive gift to family
members. Because of its quality, it is a bit expensive at $55.
The publisher's description of
the book follows:
"Born in
"Relying
heavily on detailed journals kept by Kautz for 43 years, this biography covers
his early experiences and his time in the turbulent
"Originally assigned to
the Western Theater, where he played a role in the capture of Morgan's Raiders, Kautz's service included
participation in the First Battle of Deep Bottom, the Wilson-Kautz Raid, and
the
McFarland & Co. markets
their books primarily to libraries and universities, so you probably won't find
this one at your local book store. Copies can be ordered, however, at
your local book store or directly from the publisher:
McFarland & Co., Inc.
Tel: 336-246-4460
or from their website: www.mcfarlandpub.com
If
you would like a copy signed by the author, it can be arranged. Please
tell me how to inscribe it (for instance: to my good friend and cousin, Joe
Blow with best regards, Lawrence G. Kautz) and send it along with $55 to:
Larry Kautz
PO Box 1407
West Jefferson, NC 28694
I am looking forward to hearing
from you. If you do read the book, please let me know what you think of
it. Larry Kautz

The following
information was taken from a book published by Dade County Genealogical
Society, P.O. Box 155, Greenfield, Mo.
Here we will list only those that are buried in the cemetery but the above mentioned book has a good history of the community and cemetery. If one is interested in further information, they would find the above mentioned book a rich resource of information. It can be ordered from the address listed above.
The information which follows was current in 1994. A great debt of gratitude should be given to Pauline Carrier who did the reading of the cemetery.
The information was typed by Johny Sconce jwsconce@alltel.net,
and if there are any errors on this page, they are that of the typist and not
