Does anyone know of any Simpson familys from Eldorado? My great uncle John L. Bixler was married to Ann Simpson. I have searched Saline and sorounding countys and found no marriage. Also told she died in Eldorado. Havn't found any Simpson familys yet. Thanks, Johnny Bond

Does anyone know if pre-1880 newspapers still exist for the Galatia/Raleigh area? I am especially interested in obtaining obituaries for John M. Webber (d. 30 Jun or Jul 1870) & his wife, Elizabeth Webber (d. 25/26 Aug 1872). I would be most grateful for any assistance!

I was at the Eldorado Library last year. They had two newspapers on micro-film- The Saline County Republican and the Eldorado Daily Journal. I can't remember which, but one went back to 1905. Most librarys will copy an obit for you and mail it to you. The Eldorado Library phone no. is 273-7922. Johnny Bond

Hi Susan James Henry McFarland is my GGrandfather born 1851 died 1936. His wife was Cyntha Eveline Hall. Her line was Alfred,Henry and John Hall. Thats as far back as I have. I would appreciate all the help you can provide. Thanks Fred

Halltown was in Tate Twp, NW corner of the county. There is a Halltown Cemetery. I have a transcription of the cemetery, which is probably not very complete. But it has James H. McFarland 9/9/1851-8/31/1936. There are several other McFarlands listed. I believe they all connect to my Halls.

Can anyone tell me if the Jones Cemetery in Mountain TWP has a caretaker. I am interested in seeing if a map of the cemetery exists or if I will need to plan on searching the whole cemetery(is that wishful thinking?). Debbie rose@ccountry.net

Hello, I am wondering if there was a newspaper in the Eldorado area in May 1914 that might have the obituary of a relative of mine. The person I am interested in is David H. Harris born Oct 1842, died May 26, 1914, buried on May 31, 1914 in Dodd Family cemetery. This is according to the Martin Funeral home records. Any help greatly appreciated! Melinda Roles Jacquier

Melinda, The Daily Journal was started in 1911, so I am sure that if the original obit was in the paper, that it would be in the Library on Microfiche, or if not the Eldorado Library, then maybe the Library in Harrisburg. The newspaper in Eldorado does not have the Microfiche machine, the Daily Register in Harrisburg does. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 5/24/01 at 12:36 PM Melinda Jacquier wrote: >Hello, >I am wondering if there was a newspaper in the Eldorado area in May 1914 >that might have the obituary of a relative of mine. >The person I am interested in is David H.

I have followed the SEAT inquiries with much interest....looking for some clues. Charles Hiram COFFEE b. abt 1853, Saline Co, son of James C. and Matilda Hamilton Coffee, married Mary Elizabeth SEAT(s) born Aug 1851, in Wilson Co., TN Mary E SEAT has been a brick wall for several years! I have not found any information on her, and have been to the Wilson Co Archives twice with no luck!!

I will be going back to TN in July, and will gladly drive up to Wilson County (again!) if there is a shread of hope here!!

Is Cottage Grove Cemetery inactive? I cannot find it listed in an online telephone directory. I would like to write to whoever has the cemetery records to see if they may have a more specific date of death for someone whose gravestone only lists the year of death (1900), and who has no civil death certificate in Saline County.
