Hey all I have received this information and thought you would love to have this information. Holly King kingpin@tampabay.rr.com Yes, they have finally put the site up... http://www.ellisislandrecords.com/default.asp You can search for New York arrivals from 1892-1924.

The Fayette County Cemetery Commission is having an Open House in Connersville, IN at 8:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 12, 2001. Some details are still pending, but several speakers are planned, to be followed by a Q&A session and a tour of John Walters' facilities and a demonstration of repair techniques. After lunch, a bus tour of Fayette County cemeteries in various stages of restoration will take place. Fayette County is so far ahead of the other 91 counties in cemetery restoration that the rest of us can only stand in awe of what has been accomplished there on a shoestring budget with the benefit of a cooperative effort between the County Commissioners, the County Council and the Township Trustees. Fayette County's program truly is a ROLE MODEL for the rest of the state and possibly the rest of the country. I hope you'll join us in Connersville to congratulate John Walters and Fayette County on what they have achieved. Contact for further information: Ed Herrell <CEHerrell@mail.com>

I want to thank you for all you are doing to protect the cemeteries. It is a wonderful thing you are doing. Pinx

I am so sorry, but I'm afraid something got into my program today and everything is haywire. I did not try to send anything to you or an attachment. Someone sent it to me and now it's messing up my stuff. I'm trying to delete it out now. It automatically sent itself out to you without my knowledge. What a mess!! Please delete it out of your systems. It came to me off of one of these lists. Again, I'm sorry.

Did you just send an email to me and ask for me to look at it the attachment? Nelda If not, it the virus just sent it to me. It came directly from your computer and not the list. If you did I'm sorry but I won't open it anyway. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Susan Jones, Do you have a virus checker? If so run it if not find one, What you just described is what a virus does. it infects your computer and your email. It addresess itself to anyone in your email address book and sends itself to them. Then they open it thinking you send it and are infected themselves.. Also for your info a virus will also take another address to say it is from so you can get something that looks like it came from a mailing list, but as long as rootsweb does not allow HTML you can not get a virus from them. A virus can not be hidden in plain text. I suggest that anyone in your address book be told to not open any attachments saying they are from you and that everyone run thier virus checkers, MAKE sure they are updated! Nelda I am so sorry, but I'm afraid something got into my program today and everything is haywire. I did not try to send anything to you or an attachment. Someone sent it to me and now it's messing up my stuff. I'm trying to delete it out now. It automatically sent itself out to you without my knowledge. What a mess!!

FTM online states that John Rund (Lund) and Louise Rottler had a child January 30, 1920 in Tippecanoe Co,IN. Is this Louise Rottler the same Louise Rottler who was married to Allen Cotton in Marion Co., IN and they had 4 children? One was born in 1895 in Marion Co. IN. Any help or advice as to where or what I should do next to solve this, will be appreciated. Marine45

You did the right thing posting the obituary. You could also put it on the county GenWeb page. I don't know what the lady's gripe was. She lady obit will solve someone's problem when they look for his death when they can't find him in Greencastle anymore. I do the same kind of posts to my county list. Thanks for posting. Sue

His parents came from Ohio to Greencastle, Indiana. He attended school there. He went west alone. I'm assuming he left family behind, parents and siblings. If those descendants remain in Indiana, it may give researchers a lead to other parts of the family.

Decatur County Journal Iowa January 26, l893 The Sudden Demise of one of Leon's Pioneers--A Sketch of His Life.                          - - - - - - - - - - - The citizens of Leon were astounded to learn Monday that A.J. DETRICK had died very suddenly in Des Moines of cerebral hemorrhage.  MR. DETRICK, under the care of J.A. CALDWELL, went to Des Moines to attend the institute for the cure of liquor habit, to which he was unfortunately addicted.  He was taken sick before reaching Des Moines and on arriving there was taken immediately to the National Institute. No effort was made during his stay to administer the cure which he desired, but the doctors confined their efforts to an attempt to save his life, but they were in vain.  The remains were brought home Tuesday and the funeral will be held this morning at the M.E. Church, under the auspices of the G.A.R., of which he was a member. ANDREW J. DETRICK was born March 2, l828, at Zanesville, Ohio, being at the time of his death 65 years of age.  At an early age he moved with his parents to Green Castle, Ind., where he attended college for some time.  Arriving at the stage of manhood he started west and located at Beardstown, Ill., where he commenced working at the printer's trade.  In June, l849, he was married at Beardstown to MISS SUSAN HARRINGTON and soon afterward moved to Des Moines, which was at that time nothing more than a frontier fort. In l850, in connection with a man named Granger, he commenced the publication of the Iowa Star, which was the first paper published at that place.  The family then moved to Boone, Iowa, where they resided for about seven years.  While here he engaged in the mercantile business mostly.  The glowing accounts from Kansas again lured him into moving still farther west and he made Ft. Scott his home for nearly two years, but the growing political strifes were destroying the golden opportunities he had hoped to meet, and he started for Leon, arriving here in October, l860, and this has been the residence of the family ever since. He at once engaged as a printer on the Leon Pioneer, then owned by P.H. BINKLEY.  In l86l the sounds of war were echoing throughout the country and he enlisted early in the Third Iowa Cavalry in the company of John. W. Warner, and served faithfully for three weary years.  Upon his return from the war he engaged in various pursuits, editor, selling nursery stock and finally real estate, which he has followed closely for the greater part of twenty years, in which he was fairly successful. He has left as surviving relatives the faithful and patient wife of his youth, five daughters, two sons, twelve grandchildren and one great grandchild, all feeling deeply the death of the husband and father, in which they are joined by the entire community. Sad to state, yet true it is there are men, noble and generous hearted fellows, honest and upright in many relations of life, who unfortunately through some unexplained and unaccountable means, incur a habit of hallucination, as it were, that oftimes unmans them and impairs their usefulness.  Barring this misfortune he was an upright and genial citizen, a kind and indulgent parent and an agreeable man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert

Thanks for all you have accomplished and for your time. I would hate to think that the cemetery where a loved one of mine was laid to rest was taken care of in this manner. Thanks again! and the Lord's Blessings to you. Lynne

One cemetery that i know of personally, in IL. is Turner Cemetery. The old part has cows running through it and not much in the way of stones still standing. The Morgan Co. IL Gen Soc in Waverly, was cleaning it for years, eventually the owner gave it to the Gen Soc. That might be an alternative. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Owen" <dianaowen@home.com> To: <INDIANA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2001 5:43 PM Subject: [INDIANA] Indiana Cemetary For Sale > I forwarded the Cemetary for Sale email listing to Marsha Chapman who is > the Vice-President of the Brookdale Cemetary in Brookdale/No. Stockholm > NY area. > As you can see, she had some definite opinions on the sale of a piece of > history... > Here are her comments: > Diana > First and for most, just the thought of this makes my blood boil. > What can be done legally I don't know. > > Secondly, don't those fools know they are destroying vital > history!!! > > What happens here in New York State is a cemetery is declared abandoned > after 14 years I believe then the town that it is located in usually > hired a person to mow and trim at least 4 times a year, of course, some > never get taken care of, like the one where my great great grandparents > are buried, if might get mowed once a year.
