Yes, it is open on Friday...unless we have another blizzard. If I were you, I'd go in at 10 am. This way you're sure someone will have it open.

College Avenue and Main Street are paralell so East College Avenue would be at the other end of College Ave, past the college, Bowery St., Hill Street?

Did your John W. Gordon, by chance, come from Bedford Co. PA??? Connie

George W. was listed at 50 Loo St. Depending on how they renumbered the street when it changed names, I just realized that a cousin on mine, Charles "Foxie" Crowe lived at 50 E.

I had thought that he was born in Maryland (Fred or Wash Cos.) but death record says VA. His father was a Jerome Gordon and mother Catherine Long/Lang. He married Emily Susan Gill Gordon in about 1862 in Shenandoah Co., VA. I have seen records where early children might well have been born in PA. I do know that the GILL family went to PA to find work from Shenandoah Co., VA. So, maybe John lived for a time in Bedford Co. I just don't know.

I took the advice of listers and requested both MD death certificates from the state archives and obituary look ups from Frostburg State Univ. Both requests results came in today's mail. Little was found as an obituary for John W. Gordon 10/12/1919. Nothing was found in the way of an obit for his wife Emily S. Gordon (nee Gill) 12/26/1928. I was indeed disappointed. As to the death certificate, there was enough info to realize that Emily S. Gordon was indeed the woman I know as Susan Gill Gordon. I believe as well that John W. Gordon was indeed her husband even though he is listed as a "widow" on the certificate. It appears that the same informant gave information. She was a Mrs. H.M. Steppe (typed out in 1929) and a Mrs. H.M. Stepple/Steffle) on the earlier 1919 (written in long hand). I am confused about one thing. Emily Susan Gill Gordon is buried at SS Peter and Paul Cem. whereas John W. Gordon is at St. Patrick's Cem. Is there an explanation for this between 1919 and 1928? I had hoped to find a family plot. Have these cemeteries been indexed? I would appreciate a look up or direction as to how to contact persons with knowledge of the cemeteries who could look records up for me. The FH for both was John C. Wolford. Might these records be somewhere? I found the Steppe family on both the 1910 and 1930 census records for Cumberland. They had a typically large family to include children: Charles W., Ralph J., Marie M., Louise E., Albert J., Clara C., Herman. Might another know of this family? I'm willing to write whomever anyone would suggest in the hopes of learning more about my Gordon/Gill family and what became of their children. I believe there were 13 offsprings and only 5 may have survived to adulthood. Thanks in advance for any help. Karen Nelson Hangsleben

COL. GABRIEL MACKENZIE'S MICROFILM? In 1994 I went to Baltimore and rented a Microfilm Camera and copied Col. Gabriel Mackenzie's Papers. I don't even know if we can buy the film anymore. I will have to check on availability of the film. Col. Mackenzie collected Mckenzie Genealogy from 1929 until his death in 1970. This might be the only information about MCFARLANE Joe Mckenzie

Thanks for the responses. I had not considered that he might be home on leave when the census was taken. Nancy

John, I agree with the other respondent, that Ernest was in the service and was home on leave, he was probably either a Marine or in the Army.

I would guess that if Earnest gave his occupation as "Private U.S.A.", and was counted at his parent's home, he was probably home on furlough (leave) at the time. -----Original Message----- From: leaguepm@wccta.net To: mdallega@rootsweb.com; willison@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 9:19 AM Subject: Re: [MDALLEGA] Fw: Question Dick, I'm the one who asked Connie the question.
