Would some kind soul be able to tell me where in this county the Ward Cemetery might be located. Or, will I have to go to the library to see if I can find it there? Thanks so much for all your kind assistance. Marty Smith Wells, New Carlisle, Indiana

Hi Bob! Haven't heard from you in awhile! :-) Microfilm of the South Bend News-Times are housed at the St. Joseph Co. Public Library Downtown Branch. I'm hoping to get into those at some point in the future. Thanks for the additional information on Ellsworth's. Rick B ----- Original Message ----- From: RobertsonChai@aol.com To: instjose@rootsweb.com ; INSTJOSE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 2:19 PM Subject: [INSTJOSE] Society news: Robertson and Ellsworth Thank you for posting society news from the South Bend Tribune from the era of the early 20th century. My grandfather, Robert Robertson, was a partner with Fred Ellsworth, in the largest department store in South Bend at that time, "Ellsworth's". There were 75 employees. He was very socially prominent, belonged to many civic organizations, and the store used to do an annual parade on Michigan Ave (I have photos). My grandmother was a founder of the Children's Aid Society, which handled the adoptions of orphans. I would love to see any society news about my grandparents or about the Ellsworth store. By the way, are there archives of the South Bend News-Times? This paper folded many years ago, but my mother worked on it as a high-school "cub reporter" in the late 1930s. Thanks in advance! --Bob Robertson

A quick search from Wikipedia says this: The Thousand Islands is the name of a archipelago of islands that straddle the U.S.-Canada border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch for about 50 miles (80 km) downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario. The U.S. islands are in the state of New York. The islands, which number 1,793 in all, range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km²) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, to even smaller uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are home to migratory waterfowl. The number of islands was determined using the criteria that any island must be above water level for 365 (366) days per year, bigger than one square foot (roughly 900 cm²), and support at least one living tree. The area is very popular among vacationers, campers, and boaters, and is often referred to as the "fresh water boating capital of the world".
