Interesting True Tombstones!   Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York:   Born 1903-Died 1942   Looked up the elevator shaft   to see if the car was on the way down.   It was.   ******************************   In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery:   Here lies an Atheist   All dressed up   And no place to go.   ******************************   On the grave of Ezekial Aikle   in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia:   Here lies Ezekial Aikle, Age 102.   The Good Die Young.   ******************************   In a Ribbesford, England, cemetery:   Anna Wallace:   The children of Israel wanted bread,   And the Lord sent them manna.   Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife,   And the Devil sent him Anna.   ******************************   In a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery:   Here lies Johnny Yeast.   Pardon me   For not rising.   ******************************   In a Uniontown, Pennsylvania, cemetery:   Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake.   Stepped on the gas   Instead of the brake.   ******************************   In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery:   Here lays The Kid.   We planted him raw.   He was quick on the trigger   But slow on the draw.   ******************************   A lawyer's epitaph in England:   Sir John Strange.   Here lies an honest lawyer,   And that is Strange.   ******************************   John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne,   England, cemetery:   Reader, if cash thou art In want of any,   Dig 6 feet deep; And thou wilt find a Penny.   ******************************   In a cemetery in Hartscombe, England:   On the 22nd of June,   Jonathan Fiddle Went out of tune.   ******************************   Anna Hopewell's grave   in Enosburg Falls, Vermont   Here lies the body of our Anna -   Done to death by a banana.   It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,   But the skin of the thing that made her go.   ******************************   On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket,   Massachusetts:   Under the sod and under the trees,   Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.   He is not here, there's only the pod.   Pease shelled out and went to God.   ******************************   In a cemetery in England:   Remember man, as you walk by,   As you are now, so once was I.   As I am now, so shall you be.   Remember this and follow me.   To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:   To follow you I'll not consent   Until I know which way you went.

Would be grateful for any info on Jane Jones, the 2nd wife of Warneford Armstrong 27 SEP 1699 Ballycumber, Offaly, Ireland. Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland gives her father as Lewis Jones, Esq. of Dublin. I would like to know if this Lewis Jones is related to Bishop Lewis Jones 1550-1646 (bishop of Killaloe & Meath). Thanks. Bob Foran - Connecticut USA

I wish I'd written this author unknown Black and White (Under age 40? You won't understand.) You could hardly see for all the snow, Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go. Pull a chair up to the TV set, "Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet." Depending on the channel you tuned, You got Rob and Laura - or Ward and June. It felt so good. It felt so right. Life looked better in black and white. I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys, Dennis the Menace, the Cleaver boys, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Superman, Jimmy and Lois Lane. Father Knows Best, Patty Duke, Rin Tin Tin and Lassie too, Donna Reed on Thursday night! - Life looked better in black and white. I wanna go back to black and white. Everything always turned out right. Simple people, simple lives... Good guys always won the fights. Now nothing is the way it seems, In living color on the TV screen. Too many murders, too many fights, I wanna go back to black and white. In God they trusted, alone in bed, they slept, A promise made was a promise kept. They never cussed or broke their vows. They'd never make the network now. But if I could, I'd rather be In a TV town in '53. It felt so good. It felt so right. Life looked better in black and white. I'd trade all the channels on the satellite, If I could just turn back the clock tonight To when everybody knew wrong from right. Life was better in black and white! Pass this to someone (over age 40, of course), and brighten their day by helping them to remember that life's most simple pleasures ! are very often the best!

Debbie, that is exactly the type of help anyone can also give. We all come across indexes like that from time to time and anything with Armstrong on it could possibly help someone. Just a date with the right name can set someone off into a new direction of research. I think there is enough anger and war about, lets see what can be done to help instead.

I guess Patti, that it is rather strange if you happen to have just come onto a a surname list and all everyone is talking about is a party they are having. As we all know though, the lists get a bit quite from time to time and this party certainly brings some folk who have been lurking for some time into the open. I think it is a pity that the folk who want to unsubscribe, don't give us their ancestry whilst they are at it. It isn't just about sitting in the background waiting for your family notes to come up, it is also about sharing want you have and seeing how you can help.

it has been my experience that friendships are made up of shared experiences and it would appear that cyber parties fit well with cyber friends --- shared experiences as well as shared information.

Thanks. I try to stay out of that other stuff. After all, opinions are like belly-buttons--everybody has one, they're all different, and no one pays them much mind except for the owner.

I am so sorry everyone - I missed the party. I had thought it was to be on the 1st. April! I spent the weekend with my daughter and her children.

Edward has Pallister Killian Syndrome and he may never see another birthday so I wanted to be with him too.
