New York Times, 14 May 1925 Monsignor Charles A. O'Hern Mgr. O'Hern Dead on Visit from Rome Rector of American College a Pneumonia Victim Pope Saddened by News ROCHESTER, Minn., May 13 (A.P.) -- Mgr. Charles O'Hern, rector of the American College at Rome, died at a hospital here early today at the age of 43. Mgr, O'Hern never completely recovered his health after an influenza attack of two years ago, his brother, John A., of Chicago, said. He was greatly improved, however, when he came to this country from Rome last Fall for a visit. He had expected to return to Rome before Easter, but caught cold. Then bronchial pneumonia, the direct cause of his death, developed. The brother and Mrs. C. A. McMahon, a sister were with Mgr. O'Hern when he died. Burial will be at Chicago, the family's home. ROME, May 13 (A.P.) -- News of the death of Mgr. Charles A. O'Hern brought numerous expressions of sorrow to the American College, where he had passed his entire ecclesiastical career, starting as a student, then becoming vice rector and finally rector. Mgr. Burke, vice rector, informed Pope Pius and Cardinal Gasparri and other high prelates of the news, which was received with deep regret. A requiem mass will be celebrated in the church adjoining the American College. Students of the college will serve at the mass and sing in the choir. Mgr. O'Hern, who had been an official of the American College at Rome since 1907, was custodian of the sacred palliums granted to Cardinal Hayes of this city and Archbishop Dougherty of Philadelphia by Pope Benedict. He acted as Apostolic Delegate in 1919 in bestowing decorations upon all priests in the United States who had served in the American Army or Navy during the war. He was born in Lawrence, Kan., Dec. 31, 1881, and was educated in St. Ignatius's College, Chicago, the American College in Rome and the Roman Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, receiving his Ph. D. degree from the last named in 1905. He was ordained the next year. In 1911 Mgr. O'Hern was named private chamberlain to Pope Pius X, and three years later was renamed as such to Pope Benedict. From 1917 on he was the domestic prelate of the Papal household. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | The Ahern Family Genealogy Website Acton, Massachusetts | http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I have not followed completely the complaint about what is covered on this list, but as I understand it, there was a complaint about papers other than those in Western New York being abstracted and sent to this list. I believe the name of this list is "NY-OLD-NEWS" and that would include news from any paper in New York State and any news from papers along the border with other states dealing with areas or people in New York. I also find these postings very interesting reading. It gives us a look into the world our ancestors lived in and what was important in their day-to-day lives. I am sure not all of our ancestors originated in Western New York, they migrated there from other areas of the state or near-by states. You never know when some little item in the paper may be the key to cracking your "brick wall". My families migrated to Western New York from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York City, other counties in Eastern New York. They all left behind other family members. Personally, THANK YOU to all contributors to this list, you are very generous with your time in making this list a valuable asset in our research. Sheila Charlton Spencer familyact1@aol.com

He survived about four hours, when death put an end to his suffering. ** NEW POST OFFICE — We notice that a Post Office has been established at Marblehead, Otawa county, Ohio, and that our old friend John WHITNEY, formerly of this city, has been appointed post master. ** Patrick GALLAGHER, a very respectable Irishman, residing near Albion, was killed by a large pry or lever falling upon him, in trying to raise the stringer of a bridge in the east part of that village. ** DIED At Canandaigua, Betsey, consort of Samuel KNOPP(?)

MERRELL, of this city; aged (maybe 70) years. -The deceased was one of the oldest, if not the oldest printer in the western part of the State — having been actively engaged in the business for more than half a century. As a man, and a christian, few have been as exemplary and consistent as will be cordially responded to by the many young men who were so fortunate as to receive their training under his fatherly care, and by all who have moved in the circles of his acquaintance. — His “good life” affords the best evidence that “all is well,” while his happy death is another exemplification of the force of the text: “Mark the perfect man and be held the upright; for the end of that man i? peace.” In Lakeville, on the 28th ult., Mrs. Delia MUNN, aged 37 years.

I'm glad you want more than "just Rochester"---because that is what you are getting! Glenda does hers from the Democrat and Chronicle, which comes out of Rochester, but if you read thru most of them, you will find articles from other areas throughout NYstate. I use various papers from out of Genesee county--which covers thirteen towns, since 1840--it covered more than that pre-1840. Many of my submissions also cover state-wide news of interest to most people. I do hope you re-consider your viewpoint on this, Nina, as it is a state-wide mailing list--without any other restrictions. There is nothing saying that submissions have to be balanced and weighed with equal submissions from every region. And in regard to this question you had:>>Linda. if others are submitting > articles, where are they?<< I suggest you just go look at the Archives of Newspapers we've placed online and see for yourself. I re-iterate my first comment to you--if you can't do something to help fix it, don't complain (and writing your emails to >>have piqued the interest of someone in the Hudson Valley or up near the border to "go to your library and submit articles", <<-- that is NOT helping--that is getting someone else to do what you want to see done!

He was 52 years of age, and leaves a family to lament his loss. ** WRECK OF THE ACADIA — The steamship Acadia, pioneer of Cunard's Boston and Liverpool line, was lost, on the 10th of March, on her passage from Liverpool to Bremen.

She is left in poverty and childless, the runaways taking both her children with them. ** MONUMENT TO NATHAN DANE — The inhabitants of the old North-Western Territory, propose to erect a monument to the memory of Nathan DANE, of Beverly, who drew up the famous ordinance of ‘87. He died on the 15th February, 1835, without ever receiving any token of gratitude from the people he had so essentially served. It would be strange if he was not remembered about these days, when the ordinance of ‘87 is in the mouth of every man. ** BOY LOST — A lad about three years of age, a son of E. B.

BLEECKER — The Albany Atlas of Friday evening, announces the death of J. R. BLEECKER, "whose name for more than half a century was identified with the business interests of that city — a man of unsullied integrity, and one who retained throughout his whole life the utmost simplicity in his mode of living. ** FIRE — A fire broke out about 10 o'clock last evening in the building on North State street, known as the McKechnie Brewery, and before any effectual resistance could be made, the entire building was consumed. The premises have not been used for brewing purposes for some two or three months. A family by the name of ENGLISH lived in one part of the building. It is said that about 20 barrels of beer were stored in the building, and were consumed. The firemen were promptly on the ground, but owing to the great distance of the fire from the city, and the scarcity of water, they could do little to resist the progress of the flames. We are unable to state the exact amount of loss, but it cannot exceed a few hundred dollars. ** GEORGE PLOWMAN, an Englishman, aged 60 years, has been arrested for the murder of his wife in Scarboro, Maine.

He alleges that the postmaster is officially dishonest. * An Indian having been found frozen to death, an inquest of his countrymen was convened to determine by what means he came to such a death. Their verdict was, "Death from the freezing of a great quantity of water inside of him, which they were of opinion he had drunken for rum. * The Pennsylvanian says they have discovered a new use for mad dogs in the city of brotherly love. An enterprising individual in that city scared his creditors, who came to dun him, nearly into fits, by making them believe there was a mad dog in the house, and he was going to open the door and let him out. * ILLNESS OF MR. POLK — A rumor prevailed at Cincinnati, that Mr. POLK had been attacked with the cholera, which was wholly unfounded. We regret to say, however, that he became ill before he reached Smithland, Tennessee — no doubt the effect of the fatigue of travel, and the excitement of constant reception. At last accounts, he was much better, and is no doubt by this time at his home in Nashville. — Albany Atlas. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2002 08:19:10 EDT From: KathNHNC71@aol.com To: NY-OLD-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <137.10a00aa1.2a56e8be@aol.com> Subject: Re: [NY-Old-News] Re: NY-OLD-NEWS-D Digest V02 #190 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" To: All of us who who are looking for other towns and / or who are on surname based mailing lists: I know how we can all help each other to increase the variety out there without increasing the work load on those already transcribing who have been so helpful to so many of us and to whom I cannot repay the joy of finding my own surnames in the haystack of the other fascinating stories. Perhaps we could all put your pleas for additional transcribers to our surname lists also, these folks are surely researching through newspapers also during their family research and may not know about the old news lists and how helpful sharing what they have already collected might be. Even if they transcribed old clippings from their family scrapbooks mention names of those attending weddings or funerals and give hints helpful to others' searches. One person had transcribed a whole scrapbook's clippings on a family site on roots web I found searching with google, and it was from there I found some of my greatest information on one of my brick walls. So, you can help in the transcribing process even if you are not able to get to the library or get an interlibrary loan. Just transcribe clipings you already have that mention others to the appropriate oldnews abstract sites, and help spread the word to other surname listers to do the same. Then these items would be in the archives and thus a help not only to us all but to future listers? ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #7 Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2002 08:22:38 -0400 From: "Sandra Luss" <slluss@msn.com> To: NY-OLD-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <DAV44apD7C1ZygSJBsB0000743f@hotmail.com> Subject: [NY-Old-News] Buffalo Evening News July 8, 1919 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" BUFFALO EVENING NEWS Buffalo, Erie Co., NY Thurs., July 8, 1919 SCHAFF-Suddenly, in Buffalo, N.Y., July 2, 1919, Albert W.

Hi all, I have a simple solution to those who want to read about regions that are NOT currently being transcribed AND who can't or won't do the transcribing for those areas.....UNSUBSCRIBE!! All you have to do is periodically (no pun intended!!) search the archives for EITHER your surname or your region...IF in the future, you find that someone has started transcribing the region of your interest , THEN SUBSCRIBE AGAIN!!! I have TONS of newspaper clippings from my grandmother's estate, but unfortunately back then, they did not contain the year in the obit, and while I can guess the newspapers that they came from, I can't be certain, so these articles are not allowed to be submitted. If they WERE, I would be MORE than happy to post them to the list, but I certainly wouldn't be "inspired" to run out and start copying and transcribing particular microfilmed articles just because someone on the list requested a particular area!! Maybe I'm in the minority, but I doubt it!!! Those who DO this transcribing, do it for the enjoyment they get from it, AND for the help it gives others, and it would be very presumptuous to assume that they might ORDER films from outside their particular regions just because someone requests it!! On the other hand, there are those on the list who do not wish to transcribe, but merely to read or search what others transcribe....AND THAT'S OKAY TOO, but it's unlikely that people who aren't currently doing transcriptions, are suddenly going to run out and do so just because someone requested articles from their area!! This list is NEW...the longer it's around, the more subscribers it will get, and the better the odds are that people from other regions will be transcribing articles from THEIR region. Until then, all the complaining and/or requesting of these other regions is more likely than not, going to prove fruitless, and will only serve to insult those who DO work so hard to bring us what they do!! Happy Hunting! Joan

Glenda, Sorry to once again hear criticism through the lists. Thanks again for all you do for all of us. I cannot imagine the time it takes for you to be so generous to all of us when you could just keep what you needed for yourself to yourself. Thanks for the generous genealogy you inspire in others. Best wishes for your upcoming surgery. My dad had his cataracts done last year, and it really was so much more minimally invasive than those surgeries my family members had done years previous. Thanks again to you, and to Linda, and the others who are so active. Your generosity has helped us all. Kathy Resarching Brockport families

To: All of us who who are looking for other towns and / or who are on surname based mailing lists: I know how we can all help each other to increase the variety out there without increasing the work load on those already transcribing who have been so helpful to so many of us and to whom I cannot repay the joy of finding my own surnames in the haystack of the other fascinating stories. Perhaps we could all put your pleas for additional transcribers to our surname lists also, these folks are surely researching through newspapers also during their family research and may not know about the old news lists and how helpful sharing what they have already collected might be. Even if they transcribed old clippings from their family scrapbooks mention names of those attending weddings or funerals and give hints helpful to others' searches. One person had transcribed a whole scrapbook's clippings on a family site on roots web I found searching with google, and it was from there I found some of my greatest information on one of my brick walls. So, you can help in the transcribing process even if you are not able to get to the library or get an interlibrary loan. Just transcribe clipings you already have that mention others to the appropriate oldnews abstract sites, and help spread the word to other surname listers to do the same. Then these items would be in the archives and thus a help not only to us all but to future listers?

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Apr 19, 1849 DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A HOG — James GILLET, Esq., of Sodus, Wayne county, while engaged in killing hogs last winter, was furiously attacked by a large porker, which bir him severely above the knee joint. Mr. G. paid but little attention to it at the time, after several weeks suffering, death came to his relief. He was 52 years of age, and leaves a family to lament his loss. ** WRECK OF THE ACADIA — The steamship Acadia, pioneer of Cunard's Boston and Liverpool line, was lost, on the 10th of March, on her passage from Liverpool to Bremen. She had been bought by the German government, and their representatives were on board. No lives lost. Value $100,000. ** THE STEUBEN FARMER'S ADVOCATE — Col. Ben SMEAD has retired from the Farmers Advocate, and is succeeded by Mr. RHODES, formerly of the Elmira Gazette, Col. SMEAD has been connected with the press fifty years, and for the last thirty-three years as editor and publisher of the Advocate. ** THE ASTOR LIBRARY — Dr. COGSWELL, the gentleman appointed by the late John Jacob ASTOR, to carry out his plan for a public library in New York, has recently returned from England, where he went to purchase books. The library already numbers some 20,000 volumes. The building for its reception will be commenced at an early day, in Lafayette place. ** ELOPEMENT AT BOSTON — John GLOSSENDOR, a city watchman, eloped last week with a young woman who lived in his family for two or three years as his sister. The deception was so complete that it was only a day or two before they eloped that Mrs. GLOSSENDOR suspected that all was not fair. She is left in poverty and childless, the runaways taking both her children with them. ** MONUMENT TO NATHAN DANE — The inhabitants of the old North-Western Territory, propose to erect a monument to the memory of Nathan DANE, of Beverly, who drew up the famous ordinance of ‘87. He died on the 15th February, 1835, without ever receiving any token of gratitude from the people he had so essentially served. It would be strange if he was not remembered about these days, when the ordinance of ‘87 is in the mouth of every man. ** BOY LOST — A lad about three years of age, a son of E. B. WHEELER, Esq., left his home yesterday noon and had not been heard of at a late hour last night, though diligent search had been mad for him. ** DEATH OF JOHN R. BLEECKER — The Albany Atlas of Friday evening, announces the death of J. R. BLEECKER, "whose name for more than half a century was identified with the business interests of that city — a man of unsullied integrity, and one who retained throughout his whole life the utmost simplicity in his mode of living. ** FIRE — A fire broke out about 10 o'clock last evening in the building on North State street, known as the McKechnie Brewery, and before any effectual resistance could be made, the entire building was consumed. The premises have not been used for brewing purposes for some two or three months. A family by the name of ENGLISH lived in one part of the building. It is said that about 20 barrels of beer were stored in the building, and were consumed. The firemen were promptly on the ground, but owing to the great distance of the fire from the city, and the scarcity of water, they could do little to resist the progress of the flames. We are unable to state the exact amount of loss, but it cannot exceed a few hundred dollars. ** GEORGE PLOWMAN, an Englishman, aged 60 years, has been arrested for the murder of his wife in Scarboro, Maine. Intemperate people. * The Postmaster of Cincinnati has sued the Editor of the Commercial, of that city, for libel. — The editor repeats the offensive charges in the very next number of his paper. He alleges that the postmaster is officially dishonest. * An Indian having been found frozen to death, an inquest of his countrymen was convened to determine by what means he came to such a death. Their verdict was, "Death from the freezing of a great quantity of water inside of him, which they were of opinion he had drunken for rum. * The Pennsylvanian says they have discovered a new use for mad dogs in the city of brotherly love. An enterprising individual in that city scared his creditors, who came to dun him, nearly into fits, by making them believe there was a mad dog in the house, and he was going to open the door and let him out. * ILLNESS OF MR. POLK — A rumor prevailed at Cincinnati, that Mr. POLK had been attacked with the cholera, which was wholly unfounded. We regret to say, however, that he became ill before he reached Smithland, Tennessee — no doubt the effect of the fatigue of travel, and the excitement of constant reception. At last accounts, he was much better, and is no doubt by this time at his home in Nashville. — Albany Atlas. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS
