Seeking information on WILLIAM PITT ROBERTSON born circa 1820.Resident of Lamar Co,Al area. Jean Carr

Hi group, For those of you who are new to the list or net, I have thousands of early Alabama marriages online. Alabama Marriages Before 1825: http://www.censusdiggins.com/alabama_marriages.html These records include over a dozen Alabama counties. Happy Searchin' Brenda Webmaster CensusDiggins.com http://www.censusdiggins.com Home of FREE databases and GenStuff GiveAway.

All I know about him is he was a Doctor, the brother of Henry Adams Snow, and very prominent in Christ Episcopal Church in Tuscaloosa. There is a window in memory of him, his wife and two daughters in the church, the window was donated by his grandson Dr. Henry Pearson. Dr. Charles Snow was the uncle of E.N.C. Snow.

Or perhaps it's Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

Do any of you find Charles Snow among your ancestors? He was a merchant in Tuscaloosa in 1827. His mother was Elizabeth Snow of Saco, Maine, and Pitchburg, Massachusetts. Thanks! Melissa

I need the info given for Amon Yerby, Family or Page #244, on the Tuscaloosa Co., AL 1840 census records. I know that the head of the household, Amon Yerby, is the only person named, however, I am looking for the children's age ranges - the number of children, males and females, in each age range. I will be very grateful if someone can give me this info. Hildred Carlson

I want to thank everyone for their help. It would seem that the postcard of Druid City Hospital in the 1950's would have been Northington General Hospital, if no one is sure perhaps I'll try a different artistic effect. The article I'm working on is a transcription of an article that appeared in Collier's in June of 1944, by T/Sgt. Barrie Stavis. I am waiting his permission to put it on my website. Yes, he is still living and a well known playright. The titles of his works, among which are which I am sorry to say, I've never read, appear to show an insight into human nature during times of upheaval. This article "They See Without Looking," certainly illustrates that about the citizens of Tuscaloosa. It was sent to me by Mrs. Elizabeth Hamner and I thought it deserved to be seen again. She has been an immense help in discovering my families connection to Christ Episcopal Church, and directing me to new sources. There is also an article about the "Lest we forget," committee which received acclamation during WW2, I am waiting for permission to put that on line also. Tuscaloosa was one of two cities praised for their work. All in all I'm learning alot about Tuscaloosa. I was under the impression that the McLester Hotel was founded by Richard C. McLester, my GGgrandfather, but Mrs. Hamner sent me an article that it was built in 1887, after Richard died, by the McLester Building Company, three officers of the company were Richard's sons-in law. E.N.C. Snow, W.A. Leland, Jr., and John Robie Kennedy. Thanks again for all the help.

Originally Northington Hospital was Northington General Hospital of the Armed Forces. I worked as an extra employee of the Post Office during Christmas of 1944. At that time we delivered packages, etc. to Northington. I was drafted into military service in January of 1945. In late 1946 I was discharged and later married. In 1952 our first son was born in what had been Northington General Hospital but was run by the Tuscaloosa Hospital Board as Druid City Hospital. He had a picture of the new Druid City Hospital on his birth certificate but it was several months before the hospital actually moved into the new facilities. Prior to Northington, the Tuscaloosa Hospital was Druid City and was located where the present University of Alabama Infirmary is located.

Hi again, Hank & Listfolk. Yep, Aliceville was where the big POW camp was located, but a lot of German prisoners were also housed and/or treated at Northington General Hospital. Many of them were orderlies; others were patients.

Sure do remember, DJ. My first "camp-out" was in a field inside the Northington Campus, and many years later I bought a plywood desk made by one of the German POW's at Northington. When I directed housing at the University of Alabama, the old ward rooms and corridors were used as cheap student housing. A few years later, after the UA sold much of the property to the University Mall folks, a movie company bought the rights to "destroy" many of the old buildings as part of the finale to a Burt Reynolds film [the one in which he's a professional stunt man - 'Harper', I think]. But back to the hospital usage during the late 40's: hospital space was in short supply in Tuscaloosa in those days. Local physicians used any suitable facilities for operating rooms and clinics. Some of us were born in the old University Hospital building, others in Northington operating rooms. I think it depended as much on convenience and timing as upon the preferences of the physician. By the time Northington became office space and housing for students, the new DCH had been built and the structures had begun to deteriorate. Thanks for the brief trip down memory lane.

Originally, Northington became Druid City Hospital. I believe at one time Northington may have had something to do with the military. I had my tonsils removed at Northington in 1946 or thereabouts. I also remember riding on the city buses during the war and seeing a German POW camp near there somewhere. Anyone remember that. DJ

I just read that the POW camp was in Aliceville. Northington General Hospital was originally an Army Hospital. We moved to within walking distance of it around 1954 and I can recall the old Barracks, and the remains of the covered railroad siding and covered walkways from it to the hospital itself. This was the way most of the patients arrived during the war years.
