Yes, I've always suspected there was another Wilhelm male closely linked to this household too. In 1870, the 72 yr old widow Susan Wilhelm is found living next door to her daughter Lucinda (w/o John George Sines) http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/allegany/census/1870/dist-14/0422a.gif as head of a household for no less than 6 Wilhelm children Amelia 18 Jane 16 John 14 Michael 13 Mary 11 Charles 8 ===================== It's probably a safe bet they weren't Susan's children, but I'm not sure they were her grandchildren either. As far as I know, and I could be wrong, she only had one son, Solomon, and he had married Mary Ann Boyer (on Jan.16.1853 in Somerset, PA). They were all living in Grundy, Iowa in 1870 though.. They had a small herd of children: 1853 Susan Isabella, 1855 William Henry, 1856 Emma Frances, 1857 Samuel Edward, 1859 Charles Melanchthon, 1861 John Conrad, 1862 Sarah Jane, 1864 Delia Alice, 1867 Silas Elmer, 1869 Benjamin Franklin, 1870 Curtis Leonard, 1874 Luella Lorena, 1876 Claude Orvil and 1879 Clyde Victor Wilhelm. . The three eldest were born in Cumberland, but the rest were supposed to have been born in Grundy, Iowa if I have this right. So I don't know who those Wilhelm children living in Garrett with Susan were. Daughter Hannah married Frederick Smith, Sophia married John Wesley Johnson, and Lucinda married John George Sines but I don't know anymore about Elizabeth or Sarah. Perhaps one of them married a Wilhelm? Beats me!

Lois - You ponder about what to do with all the information (genealogical) that you have accumulated. I know your quandry. Having worked as a Genealogical Department head at a library, I suggest you box up that which you don't need and take it to your local library if they have a Genealogy Department. It would be a sad day if all the work you have put in collecting this information were lost. And I know also that like practically every genealogist, you will accumulate a lot of information that doesn't apply to your family. Fortunately it might help someone else out.

Wendy, I don't know that what I am about to relate will solve your problem with B. Friend but this interesting thing happened to me and may have a bearing on your situation. My ggrandfather served with the W. Va. Infantry. I found a website that listed men who served in the civil war in W.Va. "groups" (I can't think of the proper word) Anyway I found my G. Grandfather's name listed 3 times. I got in touch with the site and told them about what I had found. Their response was that they knew there were duplications of names but in order NOT to overlook any name they listed all names and left identifying the correct name up to individual researchers.Your ancestor may be listed more than once, just as mine was. Something to consider.... LoisZ

Wendy, I have Benjamin Franklin Friend, 1845-1909, husband of Ethleen Caroline White, s/o Josiah Green Friend and Lavina Kemp Friend as serving in Co K 3rd MD P H B Does anyone have any corrections to this information? I have a total of seven Benjamin Friends listed in FTM but ages for the others do not fit with the time frame for the Civil War with the exception of: Benjamin F. Friend 1847-1924 m. Kate Mary Friend. This Benjamin was the s/o William Edmundson Friend Sr. and Susana Elizabeth Nusz Friend. Pat

Stephen Willis Friend m. Rebecca Sines 1839. You may also see Rebecca listed as Sines, House and Wilhelm. Stephen Willis Friend was the son of John Friend, Jr. and Elizabeth Ward Friend A friend who registered with the DAR used the name Rebecca Sines on her application. Stephen Willis, b. 1764 at Friendsville MD d. Mar. 23, 1849, at Sang Run, MD married Rebecca Sines b. 1819 d. at Sang Run, MD Mar. 3, 1887 m. July 16, 1839.

Does anyone know who Willis Friend married to Rebecca Sines on 7/16/1839 in Allegany Co., MD are? Thanks, Wendy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.535 / Virus Database: 330 - Release Date: 11/1/03

Hi there, Rebecca Sines (Mar.21.1819 ~ Mar.03.1887) is the daughter of Susan Sines (d/o John Henry Sines & Abigail Elizabeth Wolfe the d/o George Jacob Wolfe & Nancy Isabella Cameron) Some say Rebecca's father was a House, that's why you sometimes see her listed as Rebecca House. Some say Susan wasn't married to House, that Rebecca was illegit so Rebecca's name was really Rebecca Sines. Susan eventually married Samuel Wilhelm (s/o Sophia & Frederick Wilhelm) and had children by him. Some list Rebecca among them as Rebecca Wilhelm. ~ I list Stephen Willis Friend as: b:Mar.18.1818 not 1764 d: Dec.17.1894 not Mar. 23, 1849 (He & Rebecca are buried in the Sang Run Cem.) ~ According to my notes: In the 1850 census Stephen is listed as S.W. age 32 (see: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/allegany/census/1850/glades/0043b.gif) In the 1860 census he is listed as Stephen W. age 42 (see: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/allegany/census/1860/district-2/0630.gi f) In the 1870 census he is listed as Willis age 52 (see: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/allegany/census/1870/dist-14/0422b.gif) In the 1880 census he is listed as Stephen age 63 (Rebecca is always listed as one year younger) ~ Also I have this note in Rebecca's file: FRIEND, Rebecca, d. 3/3/1887, 67 yrs, 11 mos, 10 days "...Leaving her husband & 4 surviving children to mourn her loss..." ~ Bye for now, Kathleen ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Thompson <Pat125@erols.com> To: <MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 3:30 AM Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] friend/sines > Stephen Willis Friend m.

Delores, thanks, this Murphy line doesn't appear to be my Murphy line but I was trying to help others by posting the obituaries. But, as we all know, they will probably end up being part of my line. Thanks for the information, I will pass it on and see if the descendants can make some connection with your addition information. Pat

Pat, the obits for the two Murphys fails to mention Ralph Murphy, brother of Quincy. Ralph was married to Aleta Rush, and they had a daughter. Ralph lived above the service station which was attached to Quincy's store. Ths entire complex is diagonally across from the Friend Family Museum. The obituary of mother of Quincy and Ralph said she left 4 sons, but only named 3. Ralph and a few other men providedthe majority of financial support for the Methodist Church in Friendsville wen I was growing up. Delores

Mrs. Henrietta Crowe Murphy, 79, wife of William A. Murphy, 247 Welch Hill, Forstburg, MD, died at her home, Wednesday morning, Jan. 6th. She was a native of Garrett County, but had resided in Frostburg for the past fifteen years. She was born in District No. 9 Aug. 22, 1864. She was a daughter of the late George A. Crowe. She is survived by four sons, Quincy A. Murphy, Friendsville, Ernest Marion and Ray Murphy, Frostburg; four daughters, Mrs. Bertha Fike. N. Braddock, PA, Mrs. Rella Fresh, New Germany, Mrs. Arta Cook and Mrs. Edna Keene, Frostburg; two brothers, Thomas J. Crowe, Finzel and Eugene Crowe, Myersdale, PA. Twenty-two grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. She was a life-long member of the Methodist Church. Mrs. Murphy and her husband celebrated their sixty-third wedding anniversary Dec. 4, 1942, thus making 63 years without a death in the immediate family. (Clipping was hand dated, Jan. 14, 1942) I have a note with this obit that says: Rella Murphy Fresh, 1886-1963 m. Asa J. ?, 1884-1964. Information found in the Graves of Garrett County book. William A. Murphy. Funeral services for William A. Murphy, 91, a retired Garrett County farmer, who died at the home of his son Quincy A. Murphy, Friendsville, on Wednesday night, January 30, were conducted from the Johnson Methodist church, this county, on Saturday afternoon. The pastor, Rev. Charles Sisk, officiated. Interment was in the church cemetery. Mr. Murphy had been in good health until January 20 when he suffered a stroke. He retired about twenty years ago from his farm in the Little Savage river section, five miles west of Frostburg, and moved to Frostburg to make his home. Since last April he had been living with his eldest son in Friendsville. He was born in Garrett County near Long Stretch, a son of William B. Murphy and Sarah Michael Murphy. He was an active member of the Johnson Methodist church and was superintendent of the Sunday school there for twenty years. His wife, Mrs. Henrietta Crowe Murphy, died about three years ago. Surviving are the following sons and daughters; Mrs. C. A. Fike, Quincy A. Murphy, Friendsville, Mrs. Fresh, New Germany; Ernest Murphy, Marion Murphy, Ray Murphy, Mrs. Alvan Cook and Mrs. Frank Keene, all of Frostburg. A number of grandchildren also survive. (Clipping hand dated Feb. 7, 1946)

C. Arthur Murphy Funeral services were held Saturday at 2:00 o'clock at Mount Zion M. E. Church, east of Grantsville on the National Highwy, for C. Arthur Murphy, 76 year old farmer, who died at his home near Long Stretch, in Garrett county, Wednesday night. Interment occurred in the churchyard. Mr. Murphy had been in ill health for two years. The deceased was formerly a school teacher in West Virginia and in Garrett County and for many years was a registration officer in his home district. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Calista Graghan Murphy, and the following sons and daughters: George and Clarence Murphy, at home, Paul Murphy, a student at George Washington University, Morgantown, Washington, D. C. ; Mrs Harrison Shanholtz, Cumberland; Samuel Murphy, LaVale; John Murphy, Frostburg; Charles Murphy, Pittsburgh. He was a brother of W. A. Murphy, Frostburg and Miss Florence Murphy, of Garrett County. (Obituary hand dated May 17, 1934)

Art, I had no idea you are a librarian. I was merely reminded of the Gilded Age when you quoted a typical comment by Twain. If you enjoy "sassy" writing by Twain, you would probably enjoy the above book. You might also enjoy Innocents Abroad. Delores

Pat, I agree. I have shared most of what I've found. My family has most of the important data and photos . . . I'm still in a quandry about whether I'll publish or not. Whew . . . didn't know it was so expensive to get a Civil War record.

I plan to put my information in a publishing format when I have the time, but until then what does one do? It could certainly be all boxed up to give to some interested party, but who would that be? I could always put a note in my will. ------------------------------------ Lois, Reading your comments about all the information you have accrued over your (probably) years of research, I just had to add this comment; All of us are "Gatherers of information". Some material we find helps us, other material (even though we 'gathered' it) relates in no way to our own research. However, these tidbits, (whether relating to our own work or not) have already been harvested. Therefore it is something that we can share with others. Just as Art said, ordering a Civil War record may cost us, what?, $40 today, but what if someone else already paid that $40 and is willing to share? I don't think I need to waste space on this List to say the rest, if we share, we save money and there is no better feeling in the world then to send out some small item and receive an e-mail saying you helped someone else find their roots. Believe me, been there, done that. Ok, I usually don't do the soap box thing and I apologize to all who might not think this is genealogy, but we all know, 'give and you shall receive'. It works! Connie B. has been telling us this for a long time with her tag line: History is preserved through knowledge shared Pat-T

Art, I really enjoyed your story in response to the Walt Warnick situation. Thanks. Information/stories like this have a lot of merit. The research we've all done is very valuable . . . however, that value is directly related to the marketability of the publication involved. I do know a little about publishing, but am no way an expert. For a publisher to publish a book, they look at probable profit from sales. If they buy the publishing rights of the book, they are commiting thousands of dollars to the project. I believe I heard $25,000 initially. They also have guidelines as to the length of a book (fiction 250-300 pgs; I don't know about family histories). Some of the publishers of books I have are still with us and might be able to give some idea of cost. They are usually very busy and difficult to reach. I have several file cabinets, boxes, disks and CDs of valuable family history sitting around here. It's valuable to me . . . and I'm sure it would also be valuable to others who are interested in the same surnames and connections, but I doubt that anyone in my family would do anything with all of this material. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about all of it in the case something should happen to me. I plan to put my information in a publishing format when I have the time, but until then what does one do? It could certainly be all boxed up to give to some interested party, but who would that be? I could always put a note in my will. If one should get to the point where they are ready to be published, someone can easily pick up the project and run with it. If a publisher takes it on, it could mean a significant amount of money. If it's self-published, it could be a different matter altogether. I have prepared manuscripts on disks for writers to send to a publisher. The client has a limited number printed to sell first. In the meantime the publisher is evaluating the book to decide whether they will take the plunge. Many of our kinfolk have self-published their books. If the information is put on disk ready to print, many copy houses have the capacity to print them from one's disk in smaller quantities fairly resonable (hundreds of dollars vs. thousands). I have been involved in three such projects. The cost will vary depending on the software used, the skill of the person in laying out the copy on disk, and the copy (or print) shop doing the actual printing, and financial esources available. Anyway . . . a little information for anyone whose interested in pursuing self-publishing. Lois Hetrick Stewart

Not a lot of information is contained in these two obituaries so I will just post a condensed version. The Garrett Journal, Aug. 7, 1902, Edward Lee, who lived near Swanton, this county, was killed by lightning last Friday. Mr. Lee and his brother were making hay when the storm hit, his brother seeking shelter in a barn and Mr. Lee sought shelter under a chestnut tree in the field. ---------------------------------------------------------- The Garrett Journal, Apr. 30, 1903 Mrs. G. J. LEE, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John WHORREL, of cancer, on last Saturday, aged 26 years. Services conducted at the M. E. Church of Mt. Lake Park, interment in the Oakland cemetery. Deceased leaves three small children.

Condensed: The Garrett Journal, Jan. 15, 1903 Mrs. Landstreet, wife of Rev. John Landstreet, who had been a patient at the McComas sanitarium in this place for the past month or more, succumbed to her malady and passed to the unknown world on last Sunday evening, aged 76 years.
