Hello listers, Can anyone tell me where the Newcomb community is/was located and what cemeteries may be located there? My great great grandparents, Charles and Lydia Whitson Hedrick were living in the Newcomb area in the 1880 census. Charles died in 1884 and I was hoping I might find his burial place. Thank you for your time and consideration, Deborah Hankins

Black Burial: Pencader Cemetery Glasgow New Castle County Delaware, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Dr. Samuel Henry Black Birth: Dec. 20, 1782 Death: Apr. 17, 1827 Glasgow New Castle County Delaware, USA Physician who was educated at University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine. Samuel H. Black married Dorcas A. Middleton on 12 March 1807 in New Castle County, Delaware. It is reported that Dr. Black developed an inoculation for small pox, following Dr. Edward Jenner's lead. In the early 1800's, small pox was decimating the local Native American tribes in the Glasgow-Bear, DE, area. To save their lives and protect them, Dr. Black took his small pox vaccination and administered it to the Native Americans living at Cooch's bridge. In the Federal US Censuses of 1810 and 1820 for Delaware, New Castle County, Pencader Hundred, there are three FREE African-Americans (unnamed - husband, wife, and daughter) listed as part of Dr. Samuel H. Black's household. Samuel Henry Black, his wife Dorcas Middleton Black, and many of their descendants are buried in marked graves in the cemetery at Pencader Presbyterian Church in Glasgow, DE. In 1819 Dr. Black presented the first paper on the value of agricultural reform to the Agricultural Society of New Castle County, DE. Dr. Black was a DE state politician. He served on the Delaware College (now the University of DE) Board of Trustees. On October 7, 1824, General Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert Du Motier Lafayette named Dr. Black's farm in Glasgow, DE, "La Grange". Lafayette remarked to Dr. Black that Black's farm and house reminded Lafayette of his estate in France. Lafayette visited Dr. Black at Black's farm while the marquis was travelling through the area on his way to attend the wedding of Dorcas Van Dyke and Charles Irenee du Pont at the Van Dyke home in New Castle, DE. Dorcas Van Dyke was the daughter of a Delaware governor from the Revolutionary War era. Charles I. du Pont was a Brandywine textile manufacturer, farm owner, and bank director.

Just thought it might be interesting to someone . this lady had quiet a life Arvle George Bella Vista Arkansas Josephine O. Hackett Mrs. Hackett, a homemaker, civic leader and longtime resident of Bella Vista, died on Feb. 22, 2005, at a local hospital. Independent, until she began to weaken in the last three days of her life, she maintained her own home, plus two pets, with a unique combination of energy, determination, a wonderful mind and well-honed faith. "God just strung me together right," she always said. Known as "Jo," Josephine Olive Johnson Hackett was born Aug. 17, 1904, in Indian Territory, Okla., in the small town of Chickasha. Her life spanned 100 years and 6 months of remarkable living. She was named for her grandmother, a woman with great Southern charm and inner courage, who survived, as a baby, the burning of Atlanta in the Civil War. Early on Jo had the desire to accomplish a lot with her life. As a little girl, she frequently helped her dad, Ben F. Johnson, a rancher and banker, round up his white-face cattle, while riding her Indian pony bareback across the prairie. At age 12, she learned to play golf and became the youngest Oklahoma Consolation Champion. She continued to love the game of golf. When she was 15, she bravely traveled to New York City, where she attended Miss Finch School. Then, in 1929, she received a bachelor's degree in music from the University of Oklahoma where she was also president of her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. Jo's mother was Mary Alexander Olive. Jo had one sister, Mary Lee Johnson Gribi. Jo was one-eighth Chickasha Indian and very proud of that heritage. Hearing family stories of the Trail of Tears helped shape her belief that any hardship could be overcome. She developed great inner strength, combined with a big heart for others. Her "can do" spirit was always accompanied by her kind manner and beautiful smile. Her positive outlook, her warm loving nature, touched hundreds of people throughout her life, including her surviving offspring: Josephine, her only child; her three grandchildren, Nelly, Matthew and Mary; and her three great-grandchildren, Hanna, Teo and Anastasia Josephine; as well as her niece, Mary Jo Pettit, and numerous cousins. She was a natural-born leader, serving on many civic boards in Tulsa, Okla., where she and her deceased husband, Arch F. Hackett, lived from the beginning of their 55-year marriage in 1932 until their retirement in 1975 to Bella Vista. Those Tulsa organizations included the Junior League, Philbrook Art Center Auxiliary, Garden Club, Children's Day Nursery, Town Hall and Gilcrease Museum. Jo also had a very successful career in real estate. In Bella Vista, where she lived for the past 30 years, Jo continued to find interesting projects to which she could offer her leadership skills and energy. She was a charter member of the Presbyterian Church of Bella Vista and the founder of the Bella Vista Living Memory Garden. Jo was recognized as a "Bella Vista Treasure," named Outstanding Citizen of the Village in 1988. Last year she was made an honorary lifetime member of the Bella Vista Garden Club. She was also a member of the 18-Hole Lady Golfers and played golf until the age of 95. Her daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, niece and cousins will greatly miss her. She was devoted to her family; they meant everything to her. They will always remember her caring about them and for them, loving them so much and continually encouraging them. She was their biggest fan and cheerleader. Jo especially liked making her famous toffee candy, yet cooking anything delighted her. She loved giving parties. She sewed beautifully; she gardened; she loved working creatively with her hands. She adored animals, watched sports on TV and even liked to bet on the Kentucky Derby. At age 97, she and her daughter attended the Kentucky Derby and she bet on the winner, Charismatic, and even got a hug and kiss from Pat Day, a winner himself among jockeys. She just plain enjoyed living every one of her days to the fullest. She added a special, sweet blend of "life" to Life itself. The celebration of Jo Hackett will be held at the Bella Vista Presbyterian Church, 1880 Forest Hills Blvd., at 3 p.m. March 3, 2005, with the Rev. Jim Still officiating. Viewing will take place at the Bella Vista Funeral Home, 2258 Forest Hills Blvd., between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. March 2. A private burial will be at 2 p.m. March 4, in Chickasha, Okla., at the Rose Hill Cemetery.

A FATHER-DAUGHTER DISCUSSION. By Jess Wilson Daughter Gail was the first woman to become a Deputy Warden of a men`s prison in Kentucky. Once in a letter she wrote: I have spent my adult life working in the prison system. The most common factor among convicted felons is reading problems that start in about the third grade. How many lives would we save if we spent as much money and energy on children as we do on sports and prisons. In my answer I added: If we financed our schools as an investment rather than as a charitable donation, we would look at each child and spend all the money and energy required to make a taxpayer out of him or her,. Imagine what the prison population would be in 20 years if we spent the energy and interest on each child to ensure that they learn to read as we do to teach them to throw a ball through a hoop. That we do it as an investment because we want the child to grow up to be a tax payer. Remember, it cost more to keep a person in prison than to send them to Harvard or Yale. From your doting father who told you that you were going to go to college before you learned to read.
