Can someone tell me where the VFW Memorial park is? The park was a cemetary at one time until the city decided to move the cemetary over on hwy 224 just outside of Decatur. The cemetary is now called Maplewood. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some information on the VFW's location and the history behind it. Thanks in advance... -Trina Searching: SHELLENBERGER, DELLINGER, and HUDSON

Yes! Stickies are great. MAC owners have more fun! --Jeanette Sherbondy

Greetings to all Adams Co. researchers......hope to visit my grandmother in Decatur this summer. She will be 95. Probably hit a few graveyards and libraries also. Regarding stickie notes.....don't take this the wrong way...it is always funny when PC owners discover those features (like Windows and stickies,etc,etc.) that we Mac owners have had for years.

Hello, Fellow Central PA. researchers. My name is Don Varner and my roots lie in your area. I participate in a nation wide obituary information listing. By being a contributor to this program, I have the opportunity to get information on obituaries from all over the United States and Canada. My ancestors came from Germany in 1732 and first settled in York (Now Adams) CountyPA. My line of descent is: Hans Adam Warner/Varner > Christofel > Nicholas > Samuel S. > Jacob G. > U. Grant > Irvin "Roy" > Wade > ME (Donald.) My direct line has worked westward to present day Cambria County where I grew up and where my direct line has been centered since the late 1700's. By the way, I now live near Annapolis, MD and I contribute information from the Annapolis Capital, newspaper. Since my roots lie in your area of Pennslyvania, I am particularly interested in obituraries from several of the local papers. There are currently dozens of papers being reported on from Pennslyvania but the following publication are available should anyone choose to be a contributor: Altoona Mirror - Altoona PA - available Hollidaysburg Standard - Hollidaysburg PA - available Johnstown Tribune-Democrat - Johnston PA - available There are probably other publications in that area which would qualify as well. If you would like to learn more about this program, please visit the Obituary Daily Times Web Site at http://www.best.com/~shuntsbe/obituary/ for the Official information or, if you prefer, just contact me. I have been a particpent for some time and have gotten some useful information. Other than being a contributor, I have no role in this program. My only (selfish) interest is to have access to obituary information from that georgrahical area. Many people will see this who are not from that geographic area. I recommend this program to all of you. There may be a publication in your area not currently being reported. I also realize that many subscribe to several of the addressed listings, I'm sorry about the duplication of your messages. Don Varner (DRVarner@aol.com) ______________________________
