The Huntsville Daily Times published Huntsville, AL November 2 1919 Page/Column: Page 5, Column 7 JAMES D. BELL DEAD ---------------------- By the Associated Press New York, Nov. 1 – Col. James D. BELL, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic died today at his home in Brooklyn. He was 74 years old.

The Huntsville Daily Times, published in Huntsville, AL October 30 1919 Page/Column: Page 1, Column 4 REVENUE MEN MAKE 9 RAIDS AND 20 ARRESTS --------------------------- By the Associated Press New York, N. Y., Oct. 30 – Constitutionality of the Volstead prohibition enforcement act as it applies to war-time prohibition is attached in a suit which counsel for New York brewers and restaurant men were preparing today for filing in the federal court. The petition will ask that the agents of the government be restrained from enforcing the act. Similar suits, it was stated, will be brought in various other states. The decision to attack the constitutionality of the measure was reached at a conference of brewing and restaurant interests last night, which convened at about the same hour that the effectiveness of the Volstead law begin to be felt in a series of spectacular raids by internal revenue agents in the course of which two men were shot. There were nine raids during the evening and twenty arrests. Revenue agents visited the scores of the other saloons, but found no evidence that they were not complying with the law. The shooting occurred in connection with a raid on a café in West Forty-Second Street near Eighth Avenue, and known in the old days of the tenderloin as “the red mill.” The revenue agents declined to discuss the shooting which the spectators said was done by one or more of the agents. Colonel Daniel PORTER, supervising internal revenue agent for the New York district, who has charge of the liquor enforcement campaign here, declared that his six hundred men would wage a steady drive until the sale of anything stronger than “half of one per cent” has been stopped. http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=91489

The Huntsville Daily Times, published in: Huntsville, AL Date: November 2 1919 Page/Column: Section 2, Page 7, Column 5 BUTCHERS ARE ON STRIKE IN NEW YORK STATE ---------------------------- By the Associated Press New York, N. Y., Nov. 1 – Demands that provision wagon drivers should receive from $102 to $245 a week (correct), were among those made y five hundred inside butchers in what was denounced by Adolph GOBEL as the first step in a “Bolshevist” movement to take over his plant in Brooklyn. Mr. GOBEL, who announced last night that he had closed his doors temporarily after the butchers had gone on a strike, said that he was “informed by an insider” that the unionists planned, after accomplishing their purpose by a series of strikes, to allow him six per cent on his investment and to divide all the profits over that amount among themselves. This strike was said by Mr. GOBEL to be primarily an effort to force the drivers and the outside salesmen to join the union. The drivers, according to Mr. GOBEL, recognized the demands made for them as excessive, and refused to join the strikers. They now receive $49 to $80 a week. http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=91655

Can some one tell me why the census for 1860 doe New Lots does nor give you the name of a street? It gives you a number but no street. At the top of the census it says New Lots and post office East New York. I am used to looking at the side for a name of a street. Eliz

Calvary is fine too. I was there around Christmas. No problems. It is underneath the Long Island Expy. Dolores In a message dated 2/1/2012 3:35:22 A.M.

Hello, I have gone to Holy Cross many times over the years, to my own family's graves and to photograph headstones for others. I always go with another person. The cemetery is huge and you can find yourself in an area where no one would hear you or see you if you required assistance. I would not recommend going there alone; if you must, go to the office and ask if a security guard might keep an eye on you. I also would not be comfortable walking through East Flatbush alone. I hope this is helpful.

Thanks Rita. I plan to go to NY soon and would like to travel to Holy Cross without trepidation. I don't feel so comfortable about Calvary or St. John's, Sheila Santa Barbara

Hi, For those of you who have family buried there but are not able to visit, I thought you might like to know I went here on Sat. The cemetery is in perfect condition, very well maintained. The area is safe so you don't have any concerns walking around. I live in south Jersey so it is about two hours away. Rita

Please resend me your new email address. Thank you, Barb

Hi Dolores, Yes, I do. FYI NYC DOH requires multiple supportive documents, and its long lines make it a time consuming process. When I go there with multiple orders, I can mimimize fees for clients. In-person researchers cannot view documents there any more, pre ordering. If anyone seeks birth certificates post 1909 from NYC Dept of Health, please contact me offlist. The same goes for birth certificates at NYC Muni Archives, 1909 and earlier. Thanks you, Barb Metro NYC Researcher =================== [email protected] writes: > > Sorry!

Sorry! My original request did not make sense, so I added a few words. Barb, Do you still retrieve Birth Certificates from NYC-DOH for others? I need one for a November, 1911 birth in NYC. May have been filed in 1912. Dolores

Barb, Do you Birth Certificates from NYC-DOH for others? I need one for a November, 1911 birth in NYC. May have been filed in 1912. Dolores

Is there anyone on the list who plans on going to Mt. Olivet cemetery who can take a picture of a headstone for me? Im looking for Elisabeth Christiansen who died May 20, 1912. she is buried in Grave No. 2763 in the Oakwood Section. Buried with her is a Wilhelmina Christiansen...I dont know who that is. I also plan on posting a photo request to findagrave, but thought I would try here too. Thanks. Kim [email protected]
