Joe, I think you and I have corresponded in the past. I have a Samuel Yount who married Mary Polly Quillan, can't seem to follow where Samuel came from or who his parents are. But, we suspect it might be Henry Yount. Their children were: Alexander, James, Harriet, Samuel, and Albina. They all lived in Montgomery, OH, but there is indication from a record that the father Samuel Yount died and was buried in Tippicanoe, IN. Maybe and accident, sickness, while he was on a business trip? I don't know. Sue Grayson

Surnames: GRAHAM, GILL, TUNEY (TUNNEY-?), HEISTER, LIVINGSTON(E) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi.2ADI/1750 Message Board Post: May 31, 2003 Greetings from California: My name is Ronald "Ronnie" Arthur Graham and I was born in Lafayette, Indiana on 28 Nov 1933. I attended St. Mary's Catholic School for 8 years and Jefferson High School for four years (1952 Grad). My father and mother were GEORGE JAMES GRAHAM (b. Jan 1900) and DORIS THISE GRAHAM (b. 14 Sep 1897). I'm seeking information on the GRAHAMS from Mifflin/Mifflintown Pennsylvania. The GRAHAMS were driven out of Mifflin area by the Johnstown Floods! They settled in Lafayette, Indiana and the Chicago area. My father was born in Chicago. My mother, DORIS THISE GRAHAM, was born in Dunnington, Indiana. Her father, HENRY THISE, owned a grocery store there and supported his blabbermouth daughters--including my mother! Yakkety yak! All they ever did when they got together was yak and laugh. It is a wonderful memory! My grandfather was: ARTHUR WELLINGTON GRAHAM, b. 28 Mar 1861 in Mifflintown, d. 5 Jun 1916 in Lafayette, Indiana. He married: MARY ANN "MILLIE" GILL, b. 13 Nov 1862 in Dublin-?, Ireland and died 10 Mar 1945 in Lafayette, Indiana. ARTHUR WELLINGTON GRAHAM's father, probably born in Mifflintown, Penn, was born on 4 Jul 1833 and his name is: JAMES A. GRAHAM. He married MATILDA HEISTER, b. 24 Apr 1835. He married twice and I don't know whether Matilda was his first or second wife. He owned a boat on the Erie Canal and made his living with it. Somebody said he owned a slave. JAMES A GRAHAM's father was: JOHN GRAHAM, b. 15 Jun 1793 in Edinburgh, Scotland or Mifflintown, Penn. The GRAHAMS in Scotland worked in the wool mills. JOHN GRAHAM married EASTER ---??---- and Easter was born on 1 Feb 1795. They might have been born in Scotland. ARTHUR WELLINGTON GRAHAM married MARY ANN GILL on 29 May 1884, probably in Mifflin, Penn. I have her wedding picture! A cousin lived in Mifflintown named HENRY GRAHAM. JAMES GILL, born in Dublin, Ireland on 15 Jun 1830 married MARY ANN TUNEY (TUNNEY-?). Their daughter Mary Ann married ARTHUR WELLINGTON GRAHAM. Arthur and Mary Ann met on the boat that took them to America. JAMES and MARY ANN TUNEY (TUNNEY) GILL are buried in St. Joseph's Catholic Church Cemetary in Dyer, Indiana. Their tombstones are illegible or missing. MARY ANN TUNEY (TUNNEY-?) was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1828 and died on 2 Apr 1900 in Hammond Indiana, near Dyer, Indiana. ARTHUR WELLINGTON GRAHAM had a sister, JENNIE GRAHAM PANNEBAKER (different spellings), who was over 100 years old in 1945. Jennie (Jenny) was married to the PANNEBAKER at her UNCLE HENRY GRAHAM's house in Mifflintown. I know nothing else about Henry Graham. JENNIE GRAHAM PANNEBAKER wrote up the GRAHAM FAMILY HISTORY wherein she traced our GRAHAM ancestors back to one of the four ladies-in-waiting for Mary Queen of Scots. The "Four Marys" are historically famous because they were the same age as Mary Queen of Scots and the five of them were raised and educated as sisters. The names of these "Four Marys" were Seton, Beaton, Livingston(e) and Fleming. Mary Livingston married a Royal Graham (Graeme), who owned a castle that still stands in Scotland, but it was her second marriage. It took me fifteen years to locate her as the one of the "Four Marys" who is the reason I am here on this earth today. MARY LIVINGSTON GRAHAM scandalized some of the religious fanatics of the era and her nickname in court circles was "Lusty Mary". Well, that's the kinda woman I can admire! I've always admired non-conformists in this increasingly homogenized and foolishly-fearful America. I will appreciate any help you can give me. I would really like to get my hands on JENNIE GRAHAM PANNEBAKER's Family History. It must be around someplace. Maybe in the Denver, Colorado area where the Pannebaker's settled. Best wishes and thanks for listening. [email protected] Indiana Ron Graham, America's Foremost Hoosier 8167 Park Ave Forestville, CA 95436 (707) 887-2856

I'm posting this one again because I mistyped the name of the paper. Like all the items from 1903 that I have posted, it should have been the Lafayette Weekly Journal (not the Courier). Although today the two papers have merged, in 1903 they were still rivals. Lafayette Weekly Journal Dayton Items October 30, 1903 The Rathbone Sisters are making great preparations for a novel entertainment in the form of a lady minstrel.

The Dayton Junior foot ball team met an aggregation from Oakland hill last Saturday forenoon and administered a defeat to them to the tune of 20 to 0.
