everyone, for the input concerning records of divorce. Since the husband was in the military, stationed at Selfridge Field, Mi., 1925-31, there is the possibility, that either of the events, marriage and/or divorce, occurred in IL. or MI. I have sent queries to both archives, explaining the situation. All I need is a kind soul-to run a quick check-then I am off and running. Has anyone had any luck finding/receiving military records-ca. 1925-31? Another avenue to travel if the marriage or divorce occurred while in the military. I have the basics-name, rank and serial #, and would/could find the spouse, thru these records. Of interest to those who have Hunterdon Co. NJ. roots. Thanks, must go to Dennis Sutton, who is currently posting genealogical data from the "Hunterdon County Democrat", 1838-1900.

Aug. 6, 1878, Vol. XL - No. 50, Whole No. 2073 Over A Hundred Years Old Died, Friday, July 26th, near Hainesburg, N.J., Mary Bartholomew, aged 105 years. The deceased was born at Oxford, and when about ten years old, moved with her parents, who were among the first settlers to near where she died. Her maiden name was Kitchen. Her parents moved from Oxford to the vi cinity of Decker's Ferry about the close of the Revolutionary War. At the age of 26 she married Thomas Bartholomew, who served in the war of 1812.... As she died very suddenly with no physician in attendance, Coroner Harris had to be summoned and received the body and gave a certificate of cause of death. This is what Bob in Mn. would be doing for us. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." Jan
