Lois Z, I used this URL http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdgarret/ I found the McComas obit by typing McComas in the search engine, however, scroll on down the home page and see what all is offered on this site, Obituary Notices being one of them. To have information add to the Web Page I would suggest you contact the Administrator, Carol Hepburn. Click on her name in the "Welcome paragraph" and an email addressed to her will open. Hope that helps and I hope a lot of folks send new information to be included on the Garrett County site. Pat-T

Yes - the link at the bottom of the page is not working for me, either - but here is how to get to a higher degree of the directory. It's just a matter of learning how to navigate around your Browser. In your Internet Browser, look at the Address window. Place your Mouse Cursor at then end of the Address. Delete by backspacing the last part of the URL to the next level (/). example: What you started with was this: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdgarret/obits/m.html What you want is this: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdgarret/obits/ Then hit Enter - it will take you to a page that says: Index of /~mdgarret/obits Parent Directory 23-May-2003 10:44 - b.html 04-May-2003 20:54 38k c.html 04-May-2003 20:54 8k j.html 04-May-2003 20:54 16k k.html 04-May-2003 20:54 15k l.html 04-May-2003 20:54 19k m.html 04-May-2003 20:54 43k n.html 04-May-2003 20:54 10k o.html 04-May-2003 20:54 7k obits.html 04-May-2003 20:54 1k p.html 04-May-2003 20:55 23k r.html 04-May-2003 20:55 32k s.html 04-May-2003 20:55 62k t.html 04-May-2003 20:55 19k w.html 04-May-2003 20:55 2k You can click on any of the links and it will take you to that page.

You work so hard to try to help us. Thank goodness 'cause I just don't have the time or expertise. Hedrick has to be from the Carl Hedrick line somewhere. Can't get the darn dates to come together, but some of the other facts match up pretty well don't ya think. I accepted him as one of the family anyway. :-) Lois Hetrick-Hedrick Stewart ;o)

Lois, Sooooo nice to hear that someone struck some paydirt with one of the "found" urls!! =;o) Carolyn

The first official census in this country was taken in 1790. The Cobin (or Carl) Hetriech family arrived in America Aug. 27, 1733. I believe the petitioner mentioned in this site, William (Wilhelm) Hedrick, to be Carl's grandson named after Johannn Wilhelm Hedderich-Hetrick (Carl's second oldest son, b. 1717). My information says that John Wilhelm probably settled in Connecticut in 1750 or 1751--a great part of Pennsylvania belonged to Connecticut at that time. Wilhelm had 13 children, 11 boys and 2 girls. The oldest child, Adam, was b. 1751. If the William Hedrick was 89 at the time of the request (in 1833) he would have been born in or abt 1744. Johann John Onst (Just?) Hetreich was the oldest son b. 1713. Jacob D. Hetrick, gg-grandson of John Wilhelm Hedderich-Hetrick (through John Wilhelm's son Jacob), said ". . . he had been told by his father that the whole family had served in the Revolutionary War."

I forgot to add, there are obituaries on the Garrett County Homepage http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdgarret/obits/m.html This is where Dr. McComas' obit was found. Pat-T

DR. HENRY WHEELER MC COMAS Service for this prominent Oakland physician were held from the Methodist Church with Rev. W. S. Paterson, pastor, officiating, assisted by Rev. David C. Trimble, rector of the St. Matthew's Episcopal Church. The service at the cemetery was in charge of Garrett Lodge No. 113, Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member. For the past several months Dr. McComas had been confined to bed at the home of his son, R. C. McComas, under care of nurses. He was one of the oldest practicing physicians in Western Maryland. He served as Mayor and councilman of Oakland, a member of the State Senate, and for the past four years as a member and treasurer of the State Conservation Commission, to which office he was appointed in 1035 by former Governor Harry W. NICE. He was the son of the late Dr. J. Lee and Ellen WHEELER MC COMAS, and was born February 12, 1865. After attending public schools in Oakland, the University of West Virginia and his graduation from University of Maryland Medical School in 1888, he came to Oakland and began the practice of his profession. Dr. McComas was a charter member of Garrett Lodge No. 113, Knights of Pythias, he was also founder and first president of the Oakland Rotary Club. He was survived by his widow, Mrs. Annie WEST MC COMAS; four children, Mrs. Edward C. LAWRENCE, Mrs. Paul W. McINTIRE, R. C. McCOMAS and Henry W. McCOMAS, all residents of Oakland. Obit contains special remarks by former Governor Nice and by Dr. H. A. Hawkins, a surgeon of Cumberland. (Obit hand dated Apr. 13, 1939) - pt

I have been told that Dr. McComas was not alive in 1931. Would he have left any records with another Dr. or somewhere and if he was not alive, how did his name get on the birth cert.At the bottom of the cert. it is written even name added from supplemental report 10/27/31 signed by R.N. Riley Registrar. on the cert. it says" If plural Births---Twin, Triplet or other--- Number in order of birth, both have a checkmark beside them. #6 says full term and then the date. At the bottom it says "Number of children of this Mother at time of this birth and including this child. born alive and now living -One (B) born alive but now dead 0--- (C) Still born One. Combined with above info. would this indicate that these were twins. Any info. welcomed and also info. about where to find info. on the stillborn child. I was born the same year in the same county and none of these things are checked on my birth certificate except child born alive ---one. Peggy
