Carolyn - Did you ever find out where Larkin is buried? Someone told me that he might be buried in Van Wert and I heard from someone else that the list of those buried there had been found and would be transcribed... so far... nothing. Scott wants to honor his service with the 1st Calvary by placing a 1st Calvary marker on his grave - so far, he has placed one in memory of Capt. William Thomas York at Barnesville where all the graves are 'known but to God', he had placed a marker on Josiah Jr.'s grave and also Abraham Huddleston's, and he is buried at Van Wert. Took a bad fall this morning but nothing seems broken - I apologize to those on the list waiting for the York records, but I don't think I will be up much this coming week - I fell down 12 stairs, no carpeting, backwards, head first - and the only thing that 'saved' me was a wicker hamper at the foot of the stairs that holds my counted cross stitch charts and material. The top of my head slammed into that, but there is no place I am not bruised and sore. I have a hematoma on my right hip the size of a watermelon and cannot walk very well... and I cannot take pain medications. I have a muscle relaxant to help me sleep and I am going to wear my soft cervical collar since my neck hurts... and I have had 4 cervical surgeries. So, apologies to all, but I had begun attaching files and will send them as soon as I am able. These documents will also be placed on line on two websites... I will ask those two ladies to notify the list when this is done. Thank you for your patience. Diane S.

I am interested in the York family in Van Wert. My grandmother was from there, Minnie Lee York and her father was Larkin B. York. If anyone has any information, I would love to hear from you. -Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doris Robbins" <elantr@earthlink.net> To: "GAPOLK" <GAPOLK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 11:33 AM Subject: [GAPOLK] "Who am I and why I joined the Polk County Mailing List?" > Although the list has had a lot of postings lately.
