Does anyone know if a cemetery listing of the gravesites at the Waxler Cemetery exist? What about a listing of the Dawson Cemetery in Dawson? Pat

Welcome back, Connie, and Carol - you did a great job as "acting administrator!" Jocelyn in Ohio

Folks, I am glad to be back. Computer woes have plagued me for several months. I have, thanks to several unscheduled days off, been able to catch up with a number of items on the Allegany County Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdallegh including indexing the queries and updating all pages with my new email address. Hopefully all continues to go smoothly. Thanks for the welcome back, Connie. Carol

I'm sure all of you will be glad to get an expert as the mdallega list administrator after a few weeks with me handling the job. SO......CAROL ASKEY IS BACK WITH US AND WE CAN ALL GIVE A BIG CHEERTO CAROL!!! WELCOME HOME, CAROL! Connie

On the 1910 census I had some relatives listed at the following places. I am trying to locate any records of them being there. They were just there for a little while - the mother had died and then they went back to their father. Where can I go for information? House of the Good Shepherd, Baltimore, Maryland St. Mary's Industrial School Thank you, Lara

This is really interesting. I don't know anything about the McFarlanes, sorry, but I think that I may be related to the Jimmy (James) Love that you speak of. My great grandmother was Ora (Orianna) Love, born April 9, 1864 in Pottsville, PA. She married Thomas Kiddy around 1883. They also had a daughter named Ora Love Kiddy, born may 19, 1888. Most of the Kiddys were from Lonaconing area. I know that's still not saying anything about James Love. But, on the 1910 Census, it says that Ora Kiddy, now widowed, worked as a retail merchant in a grocery store. My sister tells me that the Love's did have a store in Lonaconing that was pretty popular. It may be the same store where your Sam and Elizabeth met. We don't know much more to the Loves. But I sure want to find out more now. Good Luck in your search. If you find out anything else, please let me know.

Will you share something with us about your relationship with them? Or maybe something you remember someone sharing about them? Do you have stories or pictures? I have recently and happily reunited with cousins Carolyn McFarlane, Samuel's oldest daughter living in Paris France and Edna's youngest daughter Linda living in Roanoke, VA. We are most interested in our grandparents 'Coney activities and their life there. Can anyone shed any light on this? Family folklore has it that Sam and Elizabeth McFarlane met at a candy store in 'Coney. Where was "the candy store" in 1915? Is the James Love in the wedding announcement (below) the Jimmy Love of Love's Grocery in Lonaconing? James Love and Sam McFarlane must have been buddies? I wonder if there are photos and stories of Jim and Sam? Sam and Elizabeth's wedding announcement from 1915: From The Cumberland Times on July 1, 1915; " Miss Elizabeth Stevenson, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Hugh Stevenson, Knapps Meadow, and Samuel Barber McFarlane, were married in the First Presbyterian Church this evening at 5 o'clock by the Rev. H.L. Earnest, pastor of the church. The attendants were the bride's sister, Miss Jennie Stevenson, and Mr. James T. Love. The bride graduated from Central High School, this place [Lonaconing], in the class of 1914, and is well known in Lonaconing. The groom is employed by the Consolidation Coal Company. They will make their home in Knapp's Meadow."

Chere, I am confused as to McFarlands and McFarlanes are they all one family and just in some places managed to be changed only in the spelling? Pat

I received the same amt. of copies as you did, Dick. You, Dick, I think, explained it to me as folks do not delete all the extraneous messages before forwarding. With a present reading problem I am having trouble separating them all...and typing correctly.<G> In the 'old days" I rec' the digest in a style where you could simply click on the message you wanted to read...and skip the others. Guess there is nothing I can do but go to List form. Would that help? I'd get many more mailings but they would be singles?? Thanks for the aide. ginny **************************** Also for your info, I have received 6 copies of your same message requesting this info. Hope this helps. "The Ole Crow" Dick Crow

What used to be called the "County Home" was a Hospital, Poor House and Infirmary. People who were homeless or infirm, the elderly and the very young, rich, poor, white and 'colored' were taken care of there. Some stayed only a short time, perhaps until they found work or 'got better.' Some stayed until they died, whether it was from illness or old age. Many were alone in the world and had no-one to care for them. Women gave birth there. We were lucky to find our County Home records in the basement of the courthouse. (Mahoning Co., Ohio.) Has anyone checked the courthouse in Cumberland? Jocelyn in Ohio

Dick Just noticed your closing line congrats on your retirement - Theresa
