For those of you living close to the state line, this may be of interest: Special Museum Exhibit Held in the Heartland – German POWs in the Midwest, 1943-1946 The Fulton County Historical Society is sponsoring this Special Museum Exhibit on May 15, at the Fulton County Fairgrounds just north of Wauseon, Ohio from 1:00-8:00 p.m. The Fairgrounds in just north of Ohio Turnpike at Exit 3 on St Rt 108. The exhibit is fully sponsored by the Fulton County Historical Society and will be free of charge. About the Exhibit: During World War II the Midwest was home to about 250 base and branch prisoner of war camps, which held tens of thousands of the 380,000 German POWs who found themselves imprisoned in over 660 POW camps in almost all of the then-48 United States and the territory of Alaska. Millions more Axis and Allied POWs were held in other camps in Europe, the Soviet Union, Canada, Australia and Africa. While Axis and Soviet POWs were both the perpetrators as well as victims of dictatorial governments and state-sponsored violence, POW experiences on all sides embody ageless and timely themes of war and peace, justice under arms, and issues regarding human rights, international reconciliation and future conflict avoidance. TRACES brings this unusual, rich story to life through the creation of the BUS-eum 3 - a 40-foot school bus converted into a mobile classroom and museum. The exhibit consists of 15 narrative display panels illustrated with photographs and documents, audio and DVD documentaries, artifacts and more. This exhibit will visit both large and small communities around the 12-state Midwest region. For more information about this special exhibit visit: http://www.traces.org/Buseum_3_tour/buseum_3.html

Arnold Dyer married Susannah Taylor (1800-1867), daughter of William Taylor and Sarah Slater. Arnold's mother is Betsey Taylor. I believe both Betsey and William Taylor were children of Thomas Taylor (1721-1804) and Lydia Capwell (1723-1810) of RI, CT, MA and NY.

I am searching for photographs and descendants of those children: George (1826-1826); Rachel Ann (1827-1903, married Charles CHAPMAN); Michael Doty (1829-1904, married Mary COHAN); Amy Jane (1831-1889, married John EVERY); Catherine (1833-1853, married Amos ADAMS); Harriet (1835-1836); Amanda (1838-1880, married Horace WILCOX and they are my great-grandparents); Andrew Jackson (1841-1913, married Francelia OSBORN); Sarah Amelia (1843-1846); and Edith (1848-1929; married John William STAFFORD. All of the children, except Catherine ADAMS who lived in Cleveland, Ohio, lived in or near Woodstock Township all their lives. I have photographs from my grandmother of many McCourtie relatives and another cousin, the great-grandson of Edith (McCOURTIE) STAFFORD, has her photo albums with pictures of all these siblings, but they are unidentified. We need help from other descendants, or the descendants of friends who were given photos of them, to help identify each picture.
