I found Malvina in the 1850 census living with the Hubbard Laboree family. She is age 16 and living with two other students. In the 1840 census there are two Aldridge families near Ladoga, Jeremiah in Clark Twp and William in Scott Twp. Jeremiah and his wife have two children, the female is of the age range that Malvina would have been. In 1850 Jeremiah is again in Clark Twp. He is age 43 and is from NC. He has three children, Margaret 19, William 8, and Mary 5. Jeremiah and his wife are buried in the Darlington IOOF cemetery in Franklin Twp. Jeremiah ( 25 May 1807 to 31 Dec 1896) and Mary (13 Dec 1808 to 27 June 1949). I did nor find an obit in the CPL database, but you should look in the papers anyway.

I am researching a female ancestor and need help breaking through a brick wall. Her name was Melvina ALDRIDGE (1833-1906).  There were several families by that surname during her lifetime in Montgomery County area, but I haven't been able to connect her to one (assuming she was related).  From the Crawfordsville Journal, Tues. 18 Dec 1906, I have the following:   "Melvina ALDRIDGE was born near Ladoga, December 30 1833, died near Linden, December 14, 1906. On April 29, 1852 she married Israel MOORE and lived near here. At the breaking out of the civil war the husband enlisted in the Tenth Indiana Battery, went to the front and never returned, but died at Murfreesboro, Tenn, June 25, 1863 leaving her with three small children, Will [William] L. of Darlington, the eldest, and then but nine years of age; (Sarah) Amanda COHOON, of Pomona Cal., and James D., of Thorntown. In September, 1864, she married Abijah SANDS, who died in January, 1875. To this union were born two children, Joseph B. of Topeka, Kans. and Lydia BURK of near Linden. In March 1876, she was united in marriage to Rev. Thomas QUILLEN [alt. QUILLIN], who died December 15, 1900. Soon after his death she came to Darlington and purchased a home where she has since continued to live...."   If you have information that might help me solve the mystery of Melvina's parentage, please contact me directly.   Thank you.   Sally

Well, Kim, when I spelled the name right I found the Greenlawn entries. Thank you so much! However, none of these Vanarsdels can be the right ones -- these guys all lived too late. What I am trying to do is find the connection between the Emmerts and the Vanarsd*s -- it's a really minor point, but I wanted it! The conclusion I am tentatively coming to is that the family of Louisa Lowery Vanarsdall lived only temporarily in Jackson Twp, Boone County -- just long enough for one daughter to marry a neighbor's son. I'm about to make one last stab -- a line by line search of the neighborhood in the 1870 census. Indexes didn't find them there, but it's such a lovely name to mis-spell!

I saw your post the other day and was out at Greenlawn driving around taking pictures of some of my family and saw that one stone, well two, with that surname, and I did not know the names you had in your e-mail, so I just snapped a picture and added it, if it is your family and you are a member of www.findagrave I would be happy to transfer ownership to you.

On 12 April 1885, in Boone County, Jesse M. Emmert of Jamestown married Nancy A. Vanarsdel (book C-9, page 36). Nancy appeared as Jesse's wife in the Boone County censuses of 1900 and 1910 as "Nanna" and "Nannie". I found her before her marriage in Jackson Twp, Boone County, living in 1880 with her mother Louisa Vanarsdall and several younger sisters -- Lizzie, Alice, Etta, and Williametta. I can't find any of them in another census. I can't find an Indiana marriage for a woman named Louisa to a man named Vanarsdall (in any of several spellings), although I found a Louisa Vanarsdall licensed to marry Clayton T. Brown in 1866 in Johnson County -- not very likely! Montgomery County has such a lot of Vanarsdale researchers -- do any of you recognize Nancy or her mother? Do you know her father, or what became of the family of young girls after 1880? I'd appreciate any help -- Kathy

That clabbered milk cake recipe sounds really yummy -- you'll post it to the Recipes list, won't you? But the oldest cake I know is pound cake. I have a recipe from England in the seventeenth century, and it wasn't new then -- it's pound cake with currants and lemon peel. Very simple ingredients, and I know it has been made in America as long as there have been Episcopalians here, which means seventeenth century in Virginia, anyway. Second "very old" idea: You've noticed that cakes are faddish items -- as in the German chocolate cake rage, or the Red Velvet Cake, or the Dump Cakes. Apparently the idea of swirling two flavored batters together before baking was a very hot idea in 1900. My grandmother had one as her wedding cake. The swirled batter looked like marble panels in a bank, hence the name "marble cake." It was the "in" cake -- and it was delicious fifty years later -- a fresh baking, of course! So when did the Wells story occur? It's too long since we were hunting for that family in the records! Kathy

Chocolate Cake 1 c sugar 1 c butter 1 1/2 c flour, sifted 1 c clabbered milk 2 T cocoa 1 t vanilla 1 t salt 1 egg 1 t soda Cream sugar and butter. Add egg and beat. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. It seems like my grandma always had this cake sitting around and to me it was the best cake I had ever tasted. I used to help her stir. I am sure that the home churned butter helped the taste, as well as adding the calories.... I don't ever remember her frosting it. Sometimes she served it with a scoop of thick cream on top. YUM YUM.. My guess is that the recipe may be about 100 years old. I don't know when a person was able to buy cocoa in the store, but everything else in the cake would be things commonly kept in the home, even in the days before refrigeration. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Zach" <karen.zach@sbcglobal.net> To: <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 3:46 PM Subject: Re: [InMontgo] HELP HELP HELP > Yes, please -- karen.zach@sbcglobal.net > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Marilyn K.

Iris Wagoner There are some places that restore old pictures. Was one in Champaign. Might do a Goggle to find one.

Karen, If you can not find someone to do this, my husband does a wonderful job with old pictures, if you want, send it and he can put it in a special program we have for cleaning them up. See what we can come up with.
