Does anyone on the list have information relative to the history of Carpentersville. It apparently was situated on a strip of land between the road and railroad near the present North Putnam Schools between Bainbridge and Roachdale. My paternal grandmother, Martha Ellen Graham, married David H, Cline who ith his brother, Robert T. Cline had a mercantile business in Carpentersvillle. During the yeas some time between 1850 and 1860 the Joseph H. and Sarah Ellen Graham family moved from Montgomery County to Clay County by way of Carpentersville. I would like to learn the origin of the name and the life span of the town. Your help most appreciated.

Are you a Hurst descendant? If you are, you might be interested in some new information which has come about due to Y-DNA testing. See this website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wrhurst/index.html

Dick, I am glad that you updated your system, thats great and if you can't find a taker you could donate them to the senior center or other group. Sheila --------------------------------- What are the most popular cars? Find out at Yahoo! Autos

Richard, I agree that that is what the old "delete" button is for, however, you've been on this mailing list often enough that I thought you knew that advertising something for sale was forbidden. I had just not gotten around to "administratively" removing your message from the list. If you will go to Rootsweb I believe you will find a mailing list devoted to items that are for sale. If not Rootsweb, there is a message board at Ancestry you can use. You probably would have better luck there. Thank you for refraining for repeating this forbidden action in the future. Best of luck.

First off, let me apologize to any I may have offended with my "off subject" post... I did have permission from Owen Co, but, not from Morgan or Putnam... But, so far, I have not received a reprimand from Morgan or Putnam... I do realize that the Floppy is not used much, now, but, I believe the Zips could be of use to someone...

Indiana State Library Genealogy Database: Marriages 1993-2000 http://199.8.200.229/db/IN_marriages_search.asp Two of my children were married in Indiana during this time frame. I checked. Both records were essentially correct (one minor error which I believe was an error in keying the information for the database). A little awkward as the county is not displayed with the names but you are directed to a list (PDF) of counties/locations which have been number coded. Enjoy. Sharon Bryant List manager

Coleen, A reading of the WPA Marriage Index (1850-1920) does not find a marriage for Temple Calhoun Smith Jr. and Martha Ann Scott at any time within that period. Checked both Scott and Smith.

I have a copy of an old Russellville School scanned and can email to anyone who is interested. Below is the info I have for the picture. School No 4 or "Swamp College", Russell Twp., Putnam Co., IN Back Row: L to R: Ida Quilliams (teacher), Pearl Cox, Lilly Wilson, Frank Whitted, Homer Wilson, Otis Wilson, Burl Lersure, Elmer Vice, Walter McGill, Esta Cox Middle Row: L to R: Belle Sutton, Alice Cox, Fern Whitted, Keah Hovermale, Archie Sutton, Claude Spencer, Edith Smily Front Row: L to R: Omer McGill, Charley McGill, Haber Mothern, Alva Whitted, Ruth Sutton, Rena Whitted, Margery Fordice ******************************************************************************** (Forgive the spelling for some names, I could not read them very well. But these names are all written on the back of this photo.) I think the photo would date to early 1900's. The Whitteds who were in the photo were born these years: 1888, 1891 1893 and 1883 The Whitteds are my grandmother's family.

Thank you everyone for being patient with me about the obits. I have found a few but I have spent 10 hours at the library.This process takes a while. The newspapers from back then did not put the obits in a certain place. They kind of sprinkled them through the whole paper... I have read a lot in the last couple of visits to the library. I can't get any with a death date of 1860-1864 those reels are missing. I haven't yet looked for the ones in the 1900's. I will do that soon. They archive up to present.
