He was one of the early pioneers of Vermilion county, Ill., and was one of the few men still living in the year 1904 who could look back over four score years and see the wonderful changes wrought and realize that he was one of the corner stones of the country’s progress. He was a just man before God, walking circumspect before all men, honorable in all his dealings and his departure from us is a loss much deplored. He was the grandfather of nineteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Peace be to his ashes.

Nope, and I have to admit I'm not even sure where that stuff is right now. It might still be in my parents garage (which fortunately is my dad's domain so it's probably not been pitched). Actually now that I think about it, we took a window and I think a door out of the house before they burnt it down. I know that stuff is at my parents house and that my dad wouldn't have parted with it - he helped me take it :) --- On Thu, 11/20/08, Karen Zach <karen.zach@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > From: Karen Zach <karen.zach@sbcglobal.net> > Subject: Re: [InMontgo] Discussion topic > To: gostraka@yahoo.com, inmontgo@rootsweb.com > Date: Thursday, November 20, 2008, 6:07 PM > Oh, how awesome to have even a little "piece" of > your great grandather's house (have you framed it or > scrapbooked it to perserve it in some way?) -- for years > not even sure if I have it -- I had a piece of my great > grandparents' banister but never had a way to do > anything with it and we may have finally scrapped it (not as > in scrapbooking but ahhh, I hate to breath this - pitched it > forever gone to its eternal rest) KZ > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lena C." > <gostraka@yahoo.com> > To: <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 4:00 PM > Subject: Re: [InMontgo] Discussion topic > > > > There aren't really many "keepers" in my > family.

There aren't really many "keepers" in my family. My paternal grandmother keeps silly things, but not much of any real sentimental value. My maternal grandparents were keepers, but my mom and my aunt are both pitchers and over the years they have gotten rid of everything except a few pieces of furniture that have been in the family for a while and the family photo albums (although there is still an old coloring book in the cabinet that my sister and I colored in when we were kids). I'm definitely a keeper though and have some interesting things like scraps of the wallpaper that was in my great-grandfather's homestead from the time he bought it from his uncle in 1943 until he moved out in 1998. I also went to where the house was (they let the fire department burn it down as an exercise) and gathered a bunch of the old square nails and picked up a few of the old handmade bricks.

Suzy A and I were talking about how our families did/did not keep things and what type of things they kept. She told me a darling story about her grandpa' "My grandmother used to send Grandpa out w/things for the burn barrel. Then he'd sneak in the back door of the garage and store them in the garage loft. That's where most of the family things, esp. HIS family things were" Now, both of my grandmother's kept things -- REAL keepers - my Italian grandmother kept lots of Italian memories I have today and pictures of her family, all marked. She also kept a book every years of how much she spent and what she spent it on -- they're so interesting to read and compare the prices. My other grandmother kept literally everything -every paper every everything. A person could learn US history via her clippings - Lindbergh baby, all kinds of murders, she had a touch of the macrabe in her I think. I thank her actually for my interest in genealogy (although my other grandmother contributed to that as well as she'd mesmerize us on her front porch nightly telling tales of the old country) as I loved reading the old obits, deeds, etc (although she didn't write on ANYTHING to tell me who they were when they were but the snoop I am I figured it out:). Now, my mom, her daughter, threw absolutely EVERYTHING away. I have nothing from my childhood, not a paper, a letter, a certificate, nothing. I only have grandmother's things as my aunt gave them to me not long before she died. So, who kept your stuff, how did you get it, etc. HOpefully, this will be a fun, lively discussion on Montgomery listserve :) Let's hear it gang!

Hmm, I think it's the same but never had that question or thought of that question. Anyone know for sure? If there are no entries for Jeremiah Aldridge in the Crawfordsville index, then he unlikely had no obituary - there would be a slight possibility he may have had one under "Ladoga" or "Linden" stating he died and was how old and buried where but would likely not be a lengthy one, plus the indexers are GREAT at catching those anyway so doubt there'd be one. Unless you could catch her in a probate, or find where the brother/sister died, I can't think of much else you could do here :( Sorry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sally Finney" <saf58inks@yahoo.com> To: <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 6:32 AM Subject: Re: [InMontgo] ALDRIDGE, MOORE, SANDS in Indiana Thanks for these very helpful suggestions.

Thanks for these very helpful suggestions.  I have a couple of follow up questions: 1.  Would the local death report contain information that is different from a death certificate filed with the State of Indiana?  I have a copy of Melvina (Aldridge) Moore Sands QUILLEN's death certificate from the state.  The family information in that was provided by a grandson, Edward BURK, and does not include names or birth places for Melvina's parents. 2.  Is there someone I could contact for help in checking the newspaper archives (CDPL or elsewhere) for an obituary or news report on the death of Jeremiah ALDRIDGE (25 May 1807-31 Dec 1896)?  I contacted the library directly about this awhile back but think they are quite busy and hate to impose on the staff there.

If that doesn't work, then you might try going through the sisters and brothers if Jeremiah (and it looks to me like his a 95% probability as the father) -- I only see one Margaret Aldridge marrying = Enoch Thompson - Enoch died in 1912 and Margaret is still living. She has two obituaries but they usually list a maiden name so not even sure this is the correct Margaret THompson or if it would list a desceased sister or not. Don't see any Aldridge men (William her brother particularly). Sorry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip M.

Phil,did Mary die in 1849 (vs 1949?) If 1849 then that would stand to reason why Malvina might be living with someone else -- Margaret is obviously the older daughter and is taking care of the younger children and four would be a bit much so she might be living out with Larabees (is he the one whoi s the Dr? -- might need help mixing potents, etc). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip M.

I'd strongly suggest that you call (362-2242 reference) or e-mail the Crawfordsville District Public Library (better yet, here's Dellie's personal e-mail - she's very helpful) --delliejean@yahoo.com and have them look -up her death record -- they can probably zap it and send to you via e-mail.
