THought everyone would like to know this.. Sonny -------Original Message------- Subject: Ruth Enlow Library's new obit database. Hi Mr O'Haver, My name is Addie Glotfelty and I work in the Local History/Genealogy department at the Oakland branch of the Ruth Enlow Library. I would like to share some good news with you and hope that you will be able to pass this on to those who might benefit from it. We have recently added an obituary database to our website and would love to share this information with all those folks who might benefit from giving it a try. We are scanning all obits/death notices/death articles from the Republican microfilm we have here at the library. We then load this information, along with an actual scanned image of the obit/article, onto our database and make it available to the public. The address for this site is www.relib.net/obits or folks can simply visit the Ruth Enlow Library website at www.relib.net then go to the Local History and Genealogy page and click on the link at the top of the page there. We have started with the very first Republican in March of 1877 and are working our way up to the present day. We are at the year 1900 presently but are diligently working every week to add more. We hope this will be another great resource for all who are searching out their ancestors and family history. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at the information listed below. Take care and have a wonderful day, Addie Glotfelty Genealogy and Local History Ruth Enlow Library 6 North Second St Oakland MD 21550 301-334-3996 (Voice Mailbox #207) addie@relib.net

CHARLES C. TISSUE OF STEWART TOWNSHIP IS CALLED BY DEATH Charles Clifton Tissue, 71 years old, one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of Stewart Township, died this morning at 1:25 o'clock at the Connellsville State Hospital of a complication of diseases. He had been failing in health for several months and was confined to his bed for almost four weeks prior to death. A member of one of Somerset County's pioneer families, Mr. Tissue was born December 16, 1859, at Confluence, a son of the late Ross and Elizabeth Glotfelty Tissue. he was reared in that vicinity and in later years operated a grist mill and general merchandise store there for 21 years. For the last 30 years Mr. Tissue owned and operated a farm near Mill Run. October 21, 1893, Mr. Tissue was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca Friend. A year ago they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with more than 100 of their relatives and friend participating. Mr. Tissue is survived by his widow, Mrs. Rebecca Tissue and eight children; Harry and Earl of Pittsburg, Mrs. John Sleighier, Ira and Clifton of Connellsville, Ross of Morgantown, WV, and Mrs. Earl Skinner and Mrs. Richard Scarlett of Mill Run. Twenty four grandchildren and five great grandchildren survive; also two brothers, Grant Tissue of Morgantown and Joseph of Connellsville. Mr. Tissue was a member of the Church of the Brethren for many years, having served on the trustee and deacon boards for a long period of time, which offices he held at death. He was also treasurer of the Sunday school for a long time. He was always a loyal and liberal supporter of his church. The funeral service will be held at the home near Mill Run Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, with his pastor, Rev. R. E. Shober, officiating, assisted by Rev. T. R. Fletcher. interment will be made in the Indian Creek Baptist Cemetery at Mill Run, with Funeral Director Clyde Brooks of Indian Head in charge. Daily Courier Sept 18, 1934 Connellsville, Pennsylvania

I hope researchers take the time to read (or at least scan through) the obituaries and not just read the names in the subject line. I have found many clues for extended families in obituaries that I would have never guessed had ties to my family's lines.
