My deepest and heartfelt apologies to all of you! Our genealogist Walt Warnick is NOT the one who who passed way. Thank heaven! I was confused, as usual, by my family's name repetition and didn't check properly. Please accept my humble regrets!

How sad this is to lose Walt . . . Guess I was in denial when I first read Bettie's note. I never met him in person, but felt as though I knew him. His been such a big help. He will surely be missed. Our deepest heartfelt sympathy to his family.

I think all of us need to be very sorry about this friend of genealogists. I'm really very sad to learn this. Met Walt one time, at Newman's Funeral Home in Grantsville, MD, at the time his father died. Wonder if Walt ever convinced his wife that they needed to get a plot in the Bittinger Cemetery.

Don Kifer. Some of those Lowdermilk's moved here to Buchanan County, MO around 1866, I think. That's when my families, the Garrahan's and the Riley's and some of the Kelley's moved here from around Selbysport. I really don't know anything about them, but not far from here there is a little country road and it's name is Lowdermilk. The Lowdermilk family has lived on this road for many, many years. You might look on the 1870 census, MO-Buchanan Cty.- Platte township.

Thanks Sonny, that list is a keeper. Pat-T

The other m. is Susan Friend M. Lowermilk b. March 05, 1900, Selbysport, Md. d. unk. ------ Thanks for the reply Don, I don't find a Susan Friend in my files married to Lowermilk (Lowdermilk) either. 90% of the information I keep is pre-1900's. I don't find her listed in the Graves book either. This may require a West Virginia search. Sorry I can't add more. Pat-T

Emmert, Struggles with a new computer and a virus have left me behind. I don't know the set of volumes containing Garbers being discussed. I feel I must ask if there's anything on Speichers or Beeghleys. Bettie --- Bettie Weyler --- bettieweyler@mindspring.com --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet.

I have just heard that my cousin Walt Warnick, excellent Garett County families historian, is gone. He was in good health but became the first Delaware citizen to die of West Nile virus. May his memory be blessed. Bettie

Found: SELLERS, Lawrence E. Nov. 6, 1924 - July 18, 1963, MD Pfc Co B, 48 Engr W. W II buriend at Blooming Rose Cemetery, near Friendsville, MD. The only Sellers listed in the Graves of Garrett County by DAR

I have three records of a Lawrence Sellers, born about the same time, that I can't reconcile; thought someone on the list might be able to help. One I found in the household of Jacob E. and Susan (Brown) Bowser in the 1900 census listed as a "G Son" "Sellers, Larence", "G Son", WM age 4, born May, 1896, born in PA, Father born in PA, Mother born in MD, did not attend school. * As far as is known, no daughter of Jacob or Susan (Brown) Bowser married a Sellers. Jacob _did have a 1st cousin, Harriet who married William Edward Sellers in 1890. They had a son Lawrence Frederick. He is supposed to be buried at the Bowser Burial Grounds in Addison Twp., Somerset County. The Poorbaugh Family History says he was born 3/26/1895 and was killed in action in W.W. I. His stone reads: "SELLERS L. Frederick 1894-1918 Pvt Co D 3rd Inf. AEF" *Note birth year on stone taken by me in mid 1990's does not agree with his birth record at Somerset County Courthouse. So possibly, the "Larence Bowser" in the Jacob E. & Susan Bowser household in 1900 could have been incorrectly marked "G Son"; when he should have been marked a nephew. Then there is this 1930 census record- 1930 Federal census, MD, Garrett County, Election District 2, Excluding the Friendsville Borough, Enumeration District 12-3. Sheet 11A, Page 27A, Ancestry.com Image 21 of 26 for District 2, taken April 22-23. All ages given at last birthday. Dwelling 209, Family 214. Possibly the Blooming Rose area. Children all born in MD. "Sellers, Lawrence", Head, Rents his home at $100 per month, family lives on a farm, WM age 35 (1895), first married when 23 years of age (1918), born in PA, Father born in PA, Mother born in MD, Laborer, Lumber woodsman, not actually at work last working day, Unemployment Schedule # 18, non veteran. "Ellen C.", Wife of Head, WF age 33 (1897), first married when 19 years of age (1916), she & both parents born in MD. "Helen", Daughter, WF age 12 (1918), attended school. "Pauline", Daughter, WF age 10 (1920), attended school. "Everett", Son, WM age 5 (1925). "Carlton", Son, WM age 2 (1928). Harriet (Bowser) Sellers, Dwelling 186 Family 191 .............
