Dick, I think that is a fantastic idea about submitting stories, pictures or whatever about how we have celebrated Christmas. I hope several of us send you something and I'm already anxious to read them. We have all had Christmas disasters with a meal, like the turkey not getting done and everyone ready to eat. I would also like to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. Ruby

Ethel, came up with a good suggestion for the Web Site and I thought I would try it out for Christmas. Ethel suggested we could all submit a picture with a short description of the person or persons in the picture and then I could place them on the Web Site. Long or short, what ever you can come up with. First let's try this, if I can get enough I will try to expand on the idea. How about sending me Christmas or Holiday greetings in a short narrative or just a few words. A poem would be nice. You could also send a picture about Christmas's past or tell me how you have or where you have spent an exciting or happy Christmas or Holiday. Maybe a funny one. Makes no difference what you send me or write, I will work with it to put it on the Web for the last two weeks of the year, so it can cover Christmas or New Years. If you want credit make sure to include your name as you would want it to appear or tell me and I will leave you name off and take all the credit myself, sounds fair to me..Ha Ha. Please help me out. We have more than 200 members out there somewhere. Don't hid your light under a bushel, let it shine. Please send it back to me at [email protected] don't just click "reply" because it will go back to rootsweb and if there is an attachment rootsweb will deep six it. Have a Great Thanksgiving...

Linda, As Sara said, on most lists such as rootsweb.com pictures and other attachments are not normally accepted due to hidden files can be embedded in picture files and other attachments. The best way to pass picture information to others on a list such as rootsweb.com is to place them on some free site or a web site and place a link to the URL where the picture is located. Also there are lists that will accept pictures but you must join the group before you can send pictures and then you can give information on rootsweb.com where the picture you wish to share is located, for example here is a web host that will give you a free web site and you can use it to place pictures to be viewed by everyone. http://anzwers.org Dick Wes Master http://www.sjara.com -----Original Message----- From: Lskwvhomes <[email protected]> To: hcpd <[email protected]>; hcgs <[email protected]> Cc: Lskwvhomes <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Nov 7, 2010 9:28 am Subject: [HCGS] Technical question I am trying to send pictures.

Linda if you have a web site post the photo's there and then send us a link.

The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this date with nine persons in attendance. Diana Johnson reported on the pedigree charts and said that Ethel has them all up to date. You still have time to send yours in if you have not done so. She wants them all in by the 31st of December. We would like to have it for publication by April 2011. David Houchin reported on books and said we now have four of the five books on the Draper Manuscripts. He had a book donated on the Flowers family and another book by Mr. Boggess on the cemetery at Maken. He also had the new book published by Joy Gilchrist Stalnaker Defazio and Bradley Oldaker, "Images of America, Lewis County". Also CD's on "Family Archives, The Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy 1750-1930", and British Emigrants in Bondage 1614-1788. The Family History Day will be held in Charleston, WV on the 24th of February, 2011, and if we are to name a History Hero it will have to be by the 31st of December. We have another meeting before we decide if we will name anyone or not. David had some old pictures that were given to him without people being identified. I scanned four of those pictures to Dick Wilt and asked him to put them on the webpage. I'm sure Dick will let us know when he gets them on there. Don't forget to mark your calendars for the annual Christmas dinner which will be on the 11th of December at 1:00 P.M. at the Parkette Restaurant. Please let me know if you plan on attending as they would like some idea of how many will be attending. Send the e-mail to me and not the list [email protected] Feel free to bring guests and of course it will be same as in the past, everyone is responsible for their own dinner, but the society will pick up the gratuity. There will also be a gift exchange and if you want to participate in it just bring some small gift that can be used by either a male or female. I have asked Diana to be in charge of the games once again and last year we played several games of bingo. Diana is working on the December newsletter and hopefully she will have it by the next meeting so that we can help her put it together like we did the September one. Jack Sandy Anderson has given the society permission to use any of his stories that he has written and I'm sure you will be seeing some of them in future newsletters.

The long story below mentions several things that may be of interest to some. Linda ____________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Sent: 10/22/2010 12:04:04 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time Subj: [PABEDFOR] (no subject) Morning, Yes, it has been a while since I have made one of my postings. The causes are numerous—chiefly being that there is just not enough hours in a day to accomplish all those tasks needing my attention. Prior to my much needed vacation requirements were that I finalize three large format photographic collage for reunion purposes. This was a two week ordeal but well worth the effort as they were each received with much gratitude and joy by the recipients. Using archival ink and paper ensures that they should, with care, be around into the next Century. While on vacation I availed myself of, to me, the best county records research site in America, the Reibold Building on Main St. This is where the records for Montgomery county, Ohio are housed. Some may think it less than useful, the records not being digitized, but for accessibility to original documentation there is none better. If you ever have the occasion, and need, to research in the Miami Valley of Ohio (perhaps while on a visit to the Brethren Heritage Center in Brookville), add the Reibold Building to your must see places. While there I digitized (to my high standards) the marriage dockets from 1827 to 1852 which, hopefully, in the not too distant future will be released for publication. I and my dear wife also digitized some twenty or so Brethren estates to add to our digital collection. I also finished scanning an interesting docket book concerning the laying out of roads in the county. Now to the article below. While looking though my collection of newspaper PDFs for an obscure fact concerning the Arnold family (who I am descended from) I came across this article penned by Elder James Quinter. Granted it does not cover some of the areas to which this posting is made, I do not see any other qualitative non-abstracted postings being made so at least it will give you something to read. If you don’t like my “Postings” then delete it and go on with your day. Cordially, Wayne Webb OUR JOURNEY TO WATERLOO, IA. We made an appointment to commence a series of meetings in the South Waterloo church, Iowa, Dec. 6, provided that no providence would hinder. We left our home on Monday evening the 3rd, and took the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad to Cumberland, and after waiting there about two hours, which gave us ample time to get dinner, we took a fast train for Chicago, on the Baltimore & Ohio Road. We had not traveled over this route for some years, and the pleasantness of the weather, the good condition of the road, the good accommodations afforded us in the car we occupied, and the places we passed, reminding us of former years when we on horseback traveled through this region of country, trying to preach the Gospel to the people, made our journey suggestive and enjoyable. >From 1842 until 1854 we visited some of the places along the Baltimore & Ohio Road each year. The first place that we passed after leaving Cumberland, that reminded us of our travels in former years, was Keyser. Though this was not a point at which we preached, we passed through the place where the town now is, as we visited the congregation on Patterson's Creek. Old Bro. Daniel Arnold was living, when we first became acquainted with the Brethren of this congregation. We were reminded of precious seasons that we had with the Brethren when we met here for holy worship. We had some dear Christian friends here. >From Keyser on to Grafton there used to be quite a number of meeting places. In company with Bro. Jacob Thomas, Bro. Jas. Kelso, and other brethren, and often alone, we visited this country and preached to the people, and had some of those happy seasons that it is pleasant to remember, and as they were remembered, some of the happy feelings that we experienced in those by-gone seasons of holy worship were brought back to the soul in our musings. The little stone house, some miles east of Terra Alta, in which Bro. Ashby lived, was brought vividly before our mind in our reflections. We did not see it, as it probably no longer stands. Bro. Ashby had been a military man before he became a brother. — He was in the war of 1812, and was known by name as colonel Ashby, He was a man of some prominence and influence in his day and in his country. He had been in the Virginia Legislature. He married a sister whose maiden name was Polly Keyser, and a niece of Bro. John and Bro. Joseph Leatherman. She was his third wife. He often expressed himself as feeling thankful to the Lord that he had been blessed with three good wives, and the one he then had, he valued the more highly, as he regarded her as the means of his conversion. Two more happy old people than they were, could not be easily found. That little stone house was one of our meeting places, and it was a blessed little sanctuary, where the Savior often met the little flock that met in his name to do honor to him. In the neighborhood in which Bro. Ashby lived, Bro. Hiram Messenger also lived. He was a young man of promise, but it was his lot to experience much affliction. He had a pious wife, but she was taken from him by death, and left him with four small children. He married again and moved to Armstrong Co., Pa., where he died. He lost his health before he left Virginia, and was an invalid several years before he died. He was a pious and faithful minister. As we traveled through the country and thought of former years and of former associations with many dear brethren, we felt that we would like to visit again those places made somewhat interesting to us because of our visits to them in former years. But should we do so, how few we would meet of those we formerly met! Many of them have gone from us here, but we trust they are worshiping in the upper sanctuary. And this is a happy thought, as are many that are awakened by the recollection of dear friends with whom we formerly associated. But, however pleasant it might be to as to notice other suggestive places on our journey, we must forbear. We arrived at Chicago the day after we left Cumberland, at about 8 P. M. The train made good time, the accommodations afforded on the train were good, and the journey from Cumberland was pleasant. After waiting about two hours in Chicago, we took a train on the Chicago Sr, North-western Railway to Freeport. This is a good road to travel over. We found the accommodations very satisfactory. At Freeport we took the Illinois Central to Waterloo, and arrived there about 11 o'clock, A. M. The brethren not expecting us quite so soon, were not at the train to meet us. We went to a hotel for dinner, not knowing where any of the Brethren live. Learning that Bro. Michael Reber lived in town, after dinner we went to his house, and we were received with brotherly love. Bro. Reber then took us out to Bro. E. K. Bueghly's in the South Waterloo church. Here we spent the night pleasantly, having often enjoyed the hospitality of Bro. Bueghly's family in Pennsylvania. On Thursday we were taken to Bro. Sam. Miller's, Bro. and sister Bueghly accompanying us. Here we took dinner and had a pleasant visit. In the afternoon we were taken by Bro. S. Miller to Bro. Matthias Miller's, near the South Waterloo meeting-house, and here we made our home during the meeting. And a pleasant home it was to us, and we appreciated and enjoyed it. Sister Miller is a daughter of sister Sallie Berkley, who is a sister to Bro. E. K. Bueghly.—Sister Berkley lives in the house with her son-in-law. She is a faithful sister, and patiently waiting the Master's call to welcome her to her heavenly home. Our meeting commenced on the night of Dec. 6th in the South Waterloo church, and continued until Sunday the 16th. On Sunday morning was our last meeting. The weather, a part of the time; was not very favorable, but the attendance throughout was fair, considering all the surrounding circumstances. The members attended well, and seemed to enjoy the services. The attention to the Word spoken was good, and a considerable degree of solemnity was manifested. Owing to the state of the weather and the roads, we did not get to visit as many of the families as we desired to do. With a considerable number of the members of the South Waterloo church we Had been acquainted in Pennsylvania many years ago, and they desired us to visit them at their homes, and it would have afforded us pleasure to have done so; but for the reason above given, we were denied that pleasure.—Our closing meeting on Sunday was particularly solemn and tender. We had been together several days, and we all enjoyed ourselves, and much brotherly love was manifested; and we all regretted that our associations as Christian friends must end for the time. But we tried to give comfort, and to take comfort from the thought that those pleasant associations will be renewed in the bright future, and be renewed to continue forever. We were taken to Waterloo by Bro. Reber, after our morning meeting on Sunday, the 16th. Here our meetings commenced on that night, and continued until Friday night, when they closed. The Brethren have a pleasant meeting-house in Waterloo. The weather was cold and stormy at the commencement of our meeting, and the Brethren from. the country could not attend, as they would have done under other circumstances. The attendance, however, upon the whole, was good, and what we have said in regard to our meetings in the South Waterloo church, will apply to the meeting in the town of Waterloo. We had prayer-meeting at several places in the afternoon. And these were very pleasant seasons. At South Waterloo and in the town of Waterloo, during the meetings, we preached twice each day. On Friday evening, before the public service in the meeting-house, we held a Love-feast in the house of sister Kelso. She was very much afflicted, and consequently could not attend the public meetings, and for her edification, and for the edification of several old members in the town, the Love-feast was held. There were over twenty members present, and the occasion was a pleasant one. Sister Kelso is a widow. Her husband, Bro. Kelso, died about a year ago. He was the son of Bro. James Kelso, our fellow-laborer in the ministry in the George's Creek church for several years.—And sister Kelso is the daughter of Bro. James Long, deceased. Sister Long, the mother of sister Kelso, lives near to her daughter. Sister Long is old and somewhat frail, but is happy in the prospect of a complete deliverance from every temptation, sorrow and pain. The family of Bro. James Long formerly lived in the Patterson Creek church, Virginia. We preached in Bro. Long's house when we formerly visited that church. The members of his family are among those to whom we referred in the first part of this article, when we said, we had many dear Christian friends in the Patterson Creek church. And this being the case, it was very pleasant to visit the families of sister Long and sister Kelso, her daughter. Our associations were very pleas-ant indeed. And that little Communion-meeting was a precious season of Christian enjoyment. During the time we spent in Waterloo, we made our home in the family of Bro. Reber. The kindness of the family we appreciated, and we shall remember it. After the Communion-meeting at sister Kelso's, we preached our last sermon in the meeting-house. We had a good, attentive and serious congregation, and an enjoyable meeting. Here we took our leave of many of the dear Christian friends of Waterloo.—As at the other church, there seemed to be a mutual regret that we must take the parting hand. After the meeting we went to the house of Bro. Speicher. Arrangements had been made for us to start for home from that place. As we could not leave until after midnight, and as it was too late to retire after our meeting, a number of brethren assembled at the house of Bro. Speicher. The brother himself was not at home, and this we regretted. We had, a very pleasant time here together. After enjoying ourselves together in pleasant conversation for a while, we were called to supper; it was an excellent supper. After this we had a season of singing and prayer. And this was a little spiritual feast to us. Soon after this, the ringing of the doorbell indicated the presence of the omnibus, and we prepared and took leave of the kind friends whose company we had enjoyed so much. Sister Speicher re-marked when we gave her farewell, "I will never forget this meeting." Well, we have not forgotten it; neither will we soon. Our visit to the two churches above named was very pleasant upon the whole to us.—While we enjoyed the friendship and hospitality of the brethren and sisters, which we remember with grateful feelings to them for their kindness and hospitality, we also felt the presence of the Lord with us both in preaching and in retirement. We think of our fellowship with pleasant feelings, and shall continue to do so. In giving this sketch of our visit, we should like to have named many brethren and sisters, but we felt we could not well do so, and hence we have named but few in this notice of our visit. But we have them in our heart. We remember them and love them. On our way home we called at Mt. Morris. We spent the Lord's Day with the Brethren here. We preached 4n the morning and at night to attentive congregations. We attended the Sabbath-school and Bible Class in the afternoon. It being the time of Holidays, the school was not in session. This we regretted. We had a pleasant little visit here, and regretted that we could not remain longer. With all we saw and heard, we were pleased with the aspect of things' in regard to our publishing business, the school and the church. To our Heavenly Father who has been "the guide of our youth," and our helper and comforter in our maturer years, we give the praise and glory for the preservation of our life during our journey, and for our safe arrival at home. Owing to some circumstances, the publication of the notice of our journey West has been deferred. J.

Dick,         Hope all is well with you. You are sure right about writing down the memories.                                                Richard S.

Just think, if Duffy had not compiled and written the story in one more generation the story may have been forgotten. I know everyone has or had an Aunt Minnie or an Uncle Joe that the older folks talk about when the family gets together. If these stories are not written down and kept to pass on then as we go through generations the stories die with the OLD FOLKS. Don't let your family stories die or fade into the past. You don't have to send them to me for the Web Site or to Diana for the Newsletter but we and all our members would love to enjoy the stories with you. All the stories I get will be put in written form and placed on in the stacks at Waldomore..  My plans are to place all of the stories listed on the Web Site in a book and placed in the Genealogy Room at Waldomore including pictures to be shared with the future. Will yours be included?
