According to the 1910 Census, Benjamin T. and Ida V. Armstrong had the following children: Agnes P, T.E, Orval J, Della E, Ruth M, and Eva L. They lived in Berlin Township in 1910, but since families in that area tended to move around, they could have relocated to another town in the county such as Anthony or Spring. Kingman, KS or Manchester, OK are also possibilities. Any information would be appreciated.

Though I have not yet sent my recipes, thought you might enjoy this one from a friend of mine who has been a full time working professional all her life... BAKED STUFFED  CHICKEN 6-7 lb. chicken 1 cup melted butter 1  cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.) 1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE  REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT) salt/pepper to taste ______________________________ Preheat oven to 350  degrees.

Hello A*s" We have such a talented bunch, is there anyone who can read German and can take a shot at a document I found in my Mother-in-law's papers? Don't know if it's family-related or something from her antique shop. M. Toni Perry Huntington Beach, CA

This is really cute- enjoy! Kathleen BY THE FENCE... On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. "Oops." Several pecans dropped and rolled down toward the fence. Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." He just knew he knew what it was. "Oh my," he shuddered, "it's Satan and the Lord dividing the souls at the cemetery." He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come here quick," said the boy. "You won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls." The man said, "Beat it kid, can'! t you see it's hard for me to walk?" When the boy insisted, though, the man hobbled to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me..." The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord Himself." Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord. At last they heard one final, "One for you, and one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be done." ...They say the old man made it back to town a full five minutes ahead of the boy on the bike!

SUTTON m. William ARMSTRONG 28 Apr 1957 Jackson Co. MO. This would be 3 yrs. after the 1854 marriage of the sister that the declaration refers to. The 1850 Meigs Co. OH (that's where Pomeroy is) census for Lebanon Twp. p. 143 shows the family of Samuel and Susannah SUTTON. He is 57 b. PA and she is 52 b. PA. They have daus. Mary J. age 16 b. PA and Adeline age 13 b. PA and one son Robert age 9 b. OH. However, this family is gone from OH by 1860. I started checking in places where Meigs Co. people often migrated and that's how I came across the Adeline in Jackson Co. MO. I don't know if it is your Adeline. You might want to check there and see if you find the rest of the SUTTON family. If I find anything else I'll get back to you.
