Hello, I am trying to find out if my gggrandfather William Benjamin McCLURE, a judge, murder was ever solved. I talked to one of his granddaughters before she died and she told me that they suspected that an EASTEP was the one who killed him. We have some EASTEP'S in the family. McCLURE was killed on Jan 10, 1900. How do you go about finding out if it was solved? Will the police station have it and if they do will they look it up for someone? Thanks, Sheila

Hello, With the help of a wonderful internet connection I have been able to discover a wealth of information on my WHITTEN ancestors. Many were Methodist ministers and one was converted at "Cypress Campground near Florence". I was wondering if anyone knows where this was located, and if perhaps it later became the site of a church? This site has been so helpful in the past, that I am sure someone will have the answer. Thanks. Julia Gainesville, FL

Within the last 2 weeks I have an Aunt who lived in Florence or Sheffield that died. I was wondering if anyone who lived there could look in the paper and send me a copy of the obit. Her name was Catherine Mable (PRICE) Marler. Also if there are any postings in the paper about her estate, etc. I was supposed to have been left a pair of opal earrings by her and I don't know who is the Executor of her estate. Any information and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carol Price Watkins

We have published a list of all the men who served in the 2nd TMI and drew pensions, or their widows or children drew pensions. The list is available on-line at http://www.netease.net/wayne/penindex2TMI.htm This list has been published in "The Wayne County Historian" for several years now and has been available on the web page for over a year, yet we have not received any response to our earlier call for submission of pension files or abstracts. So I am calling for help. If you have the pension application file on any of the men listed on the pension index of the 2nd TMI, please let me know. I would like to get either a complete copy of the application file or an abstract of it. Surely someone on these lists has found an ancestor or relative who served in the 2TMI and filed for a pension. All pension application files will be abstracted and published on the web page and in the "Wayne County Historian". Abstracts submitted will be used as is.

Pride Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, Malone Cemetery and Lane Cemetery all tell just a little of the history surrounding the area, but MHOONTOWN Cemetery holds a special fascination for many of the residents. > >Perhaps it’s the tombs- the six great marble and granite slabs which remind all who see them the people buried underneath were something special. The 12 foot monuments are the dominant feature of the cemetery, leaping into view as soon as the final turn in the road to the gravesite is made. > >Perhaps it’s the setting- the tall ancient fir trees which issue almost humanlike groans when the wind blows or the haunting isolation of the well-manicured cemetery and church grounds. > >At any rate, for many years the citizens of Cherokee and the surrounding area have told their children tales of the burial place that is older than the state itself. > >Probable many a child has lain awake after his grandmother told him of the Mhoon ghosts walking about at midnight, or of the gold that supposedly was buried with the owners under the weathered tombs. > >Or maybe the child wondered how the robbers got to the top of George Mhoon’s tomb to steal the fortune that was reportedly hidden in the huge urn there. > >But while citizens of the area told their children these stories, they themselves wondered just who the Mhoons were and what made them come to the country that was then so wild and unsettled. > >Mrs. Rita Dailey, author of “A History of the Rose Trail” said in a recent interview that very little is known about the family. > >“The Mhoons were the older members of the Pride family, a well-known Colbert county family.” explained Mrs. Dailey. “they came to the region in the really 1800’s and then left for California during the gold rush. > >Mrs. Dailey said the Mhoons came form North Carolina, and that they were apparently a fairly wealthy family. > >A check of the 1790 U.S. Census reveals that John Mhoon head of the family was a resident of Bertie County, NC., had five sons and three daughters, and was the owner of four slaves. > >The Mhoons arrived in North Alabama about 1801, and remained until the excitement of California Gold Rush caught the remaining family members in its grip. > >The last surviving Mhoon daughter-in-law died in childbirth, leaving no one to carry on the family name in what had by then become Franklin County, AL. That county was split into smaller counties in 1867, so Mhoontown is now located in Colbert County. > >The inscriptions on the tomb tell something of the family’s history during their Alabama years. > >For instance, near the circle of tombs, adjacent to Mary Mhoon’s grave, is a small stone slab which reads: “Enclosed are the remains of John, infant son.” which indicates another child was born to Mary Mhoon, family matriarch, soon after arriving in Alabama. > >Another inscription tells of how the family or at least part of the family, went back to North Carolina to fetch Lucy Mhoon’s mother when her second husband died. The mother’s grave is near the other tombs. > >The plot the family chose as their gravesite is isolated even now. The cemetery is located about five miles north of Cherokee, about a quarter-mile from the Tennessee River. Mrs. Dailey explained how the large and ornate tombs got to their site. > >“The marble for the tombs came from Italy,” explained the North Alabama historian. “The tombs were made by a firm in St. Louis, and then shipped down the Mississippi around and up the Ohio River, and down the Tennessee. Then they were hauled over by oxcart.” > >Since it took such a long time for the tombs to arrive the dead were often buried and the tombs ordered with the funeral held after they arrived. Mrs. Dailey told of how one North Alabama family sent out engraved invitations to the services. > >The Mhoons left, but their influence on the immediate are remained. The spot they chose as a cemetery became the spot for a church and the people continued to come to worship, to wonder at the old tombs, and to bury their dead in the cemetery. Naturally, many stories grew from the number of people speculation about the old burial spot. > >Mrs. Maggie smith, 84, a lifelong resident of Cherokee, explained how at least one of the notions, the one concerning the ghosts roaming at midnight came to be dispelled. > >According to Mrs. Smith, one of her relatives, the Rev. Jeff Smith, was pastor at the Mhoontown Methodist church. The Rev. Smith had become a minister at 14, and continued his ministry until he died at 105. > >Some of the people in the church had reported seeing lights in the old cemetery at night and he decided to show them there was nothing to fear. > >He stayed awake all one night in the church, observing the lights and in the morning happily reported to his flock what they had been seeing was not the lights of the Mhoon Family congregation around the old tombs, but plain old foxfire (a phosphorescent substance which glows in the dark.) > >Of course, some of the legends still exist, and rightly so, because they are as much a part of the cemetery as the huge tombs themselves. And the tombs along with the legends comprise a central part of Northern Alabama’s history. > > >Sumitted by >Freddie Mae Malone >Rt 2 box 163 >Tuscumbia, Alabama, 35674 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Mhoon, John - Infant son of Lucinda I. and William S.

What a generous person you are! :) If you get swamped by requests, I offer to do the same. I am not an "expert" though at scanning, but can make a pretty good image, if I do say so myself! ;) I have some of my family images up (or at least the link to them) at www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/6048 should anyone want to see CROWs, SINCLAIRs, BARTHOLOMEWs, and VAN ALSTYNEs.

I read with interest the email from Bob Davis concerning old photos. His advice is certainly good with regards to keeping and preserving the old photos. However, there is more you can do with them to preserve and enhance them. I have collected over 100 old photos of my family, including mid-nineteenth-century tintypes, and have been scanning them to make jpg files. There is software that will allow you to enhance them, such as lighten or darken them, remove the red from eyes, crop out over- or under-exposed areas etc. You can also enlarge or reduce the photo size to fit albums, etc. Some obvious advantages of digitizing any photo are that it allows you to email it to relatives and you can have a backup in case the original is ever lost. By the way, I thought I would ask again if anyone has come across any references to the Barrier or Steely (Steeley) surnames from the Waterloo, Lauderdale County, Alabama area circa 1900 - 1930?

Sometimes "old folks" do not realize how priceless this history is. My sweet mother "threw away" many of the the photographs of her and my father's early life. She lived to be 93, and I do not think she believed that the pictures were of any importance to her children. You may love your parents and older relatives dearly, but do not trust their thoughts, about family history. If you are in doubt about your familie's photographs "borrow" them and copy them or just forget to bring them back or use whatever ruse to preserve the past. You are not now tied to a great expense at a photo shop to copy old photos as many of the copy shops can do virtually photo-quality copies for very little money. Besides, this allows you to preserve the originals.

Would someone please look-up an obituary for me? It is for IRENE LUCILLE HAYES. She died in the 1980's. Her obit was in the Florence Times newspaper. I will gladly exchange look-ups in the Nashville area. Thanks, Ramona _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
