Where one person or company uses telephone for business house and residence the charge will be $2.75 per month. The proposed increase in the price of telephone service is creating a revolt against what is deemed an extortion. A remonstrance is being largely signed by the patrons. They are willing to pay the present rates, but if the company insists on an increase they will have their instruments taken out and use their efforts to induce another company to come in and complete with the one now here. It is charged by the remonstrants that city patrons are to be mulcted to bear the expenses of the county lines. Letter List: Mrs. Lottie Childers, Wm. Coan, Esq. John Reinhert, W.

Good Morning Tracy, Well, I can understand that as I also spend a great deal on this hobby of mine. I have two dead ends by the name of Ball & Ballard. The Ball name comes up as follows, One of my ancestors John Lafayette Phillips, married a Yanta Tharp in Hendricks County on 9/17/1876 they had two daughters and then the mother disappears as the husband John is found in Illinois and gets a new wife and family. Now these two daughters stay in Hendricks county ( I think ) one, Alice, marries a Walter Thorp, and the other Viola Phillips marries a BALL. I don't have dates but it should be around 1895 to 1915. The second brick wall is a Rachel Ballard born abt 1790 in NC and the wife of Philomen Phillips. They went to KY and then to Jennings County, Indiana. She must have died before 1844 in Jennings County but I have not been able to find a record of this. I know he remarried in Jennings County in 1844, before moving to Hendricks County before 1850. Now I have many Phillips in Hendricks County after this time period. Any of this match anything you have?

Hi Terry, I am a descendent of a Pennock family who lived there in the 1840's. Some of them are buried in a very remote area, I think that it is called Graham Cemetery on the Pinhook or something like that. Do you know how I would obtain any information about that area. I was there briefly many years ago but did not even have the slightest idea where or whom to contact about this place. The area is in VERY POOR condition, Thank You, Mionne in CA djathb@aol.com

Bonita, Please don't apologize for the delay! I am just so grateful for the information you have already given me, and appreciate the help!!! I am in contact with a man from Germany who is perhaps descended from my Christoph(er) Reichle's father through another son who did not leave Germany... although I can't say with 100% certainly that we are related, his father's records indicated a relative named Johann Christopher Reichle, born in the same year as mine, who was a baker, and moved to North Vernon, Indiana in the 1850's... I can't imagine there were many Reichle's named Christopher who moved there... but then one never knows. Thank you again for your help!!!

However, there has been a lot of moving around of offices, so I don't want to say for sure where those records are now. Sometime next week, I need to go to the courthouse to copy a will, and can check for you then. Their office hours are about the same as mine, but I should be able to get away on Tuesday or Wednesday. If I find anything, I'll copy it for you.
