Tim, I found my aunt and her brother in an "institution" in Philadelphia in the 1920 or 1930 census. Their parents were seperated, can't remember why but the children were listed in the census for that institution. I also found another relative in a state mental institution in the census. I knew though to look for him as it had been mentioned he was insane, never thought of finding my aunt where I did though! And I know what you mean about careing for the elderly, my father and sister are in TN and dealing with my mother who has alzheimers, the past 6 months have been really rough on them seeing her go from active to almost bed ridden as she can't remember names, who she is, where she is, what to eat and what not too. I remember her mother going through the same things. It's tough on care givers, especially when they are family, and in todays fast moving world too many push the care giving off to "outsiders" or toss them into a nursing home for the rest of their days. I think in the "old days" some families who had a lot of kids trained the youngest daughter to be the official family care giver. I found several unmarried females, always the youngest who never married but who cared for the elderly family members. One of those was my dads aunt who cared for family members since she was 20, right up to death at 89!

No, fortunately the house suffered minor damage considering it's age and what others went through. Tihis house is 109 years old and fared better than 10 year old and 40 year old homes. The South side was hit by two trees and the back utility room had one on it too. What probably saved the house was the woods out back, they are gone 40 of 42 trees wiped out! Trees from the back yard were on the road 240 feet from where they were! The garage was destroyed and yet my trucks got very little damage, one none. The dogs were in the house and OK, good thing they were inside as their pen was destroyed. Yes, I'm hoping 2009 is a better year! I actually went to the doctors thinking I had the flu, not a heart attack, 3 stents later I'm OK and back to work now shooting sports and news for the local paper.

I spoke with my remaining first cousin in Norwich Sunday night. I'd not had communication with her since May, always 'intending to' get back with her. This evening occasion brought her to mind again and having had the sad experience more than once of not communicating with a relative until too late, I picked up the phone and made that connection. While things are going fairly well in my core family, my parents health is starting to fail and with that responsibility falls now to the children to take care of the parents. How different it is now than a few decades ago how the elders are cared for. Families took care of family members. Now with families scattered to the winds, it seems many opt for others caring for ones loved ones. Of course even way back when, some folks were put in institutions of one sort or another. I know that in the instance of my grandmother, there came a point in time when my grandfather could no longer care for her, has she was a heavyset person, that was beyond the capacity of my grandfather to lift. I know that in census records that in days past, people staying in what were termed hotels, but were most likely boarding houses, were counted where they were. The poor farm also had folks listed. My grandmother was not in institutions around the time of a census but I do wonder, when there was one, how patients there or in hospital were counted. Tim

I well remember that Dad had just a very few gallons for his car auto as contrasted with a working vehicle. I recall that an uncle claimed he would smudge his signature as he signed his gasoline ration coupons. Whether he said that as a joke or really did it I don't know. There was a gas station in town where one could purchase gasoline without using a ration coupon. I think it cost a few pennies more. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CARMAlotta@aol.com> To: <nychenan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [NYCHENAN] Gas lines! > Yes, there were ration boards.

Yes, there were ration boards. I can remember some of our teachers coming to our small village, Burlington Green, to issue ration books. We have some family ration books. Our dad signed for us and one of our neighbors who was on the board also signed. I remember that Dad had to collect stamps from the customers who bought gasoline, sugar, butter, etc. in our country store. Carma (Bull) Stone In a message dated 11/21/2008 3:24:58 P.M.

I don't know if you all can help me, but.... I need a newspaper clipping, or information about the clipping.? It doesn't have to be an original, just somewhere to point me in the right direction and get the facts straight. It's about Saratoga Lake from 1885 to 1910 as I'm not sure of the date.? I know the clipping exists because it was lost by the lady that I'm helping.? She's 92 and writing a book! Her Grandmother is Laura Roxanne Smith Ellsworth (Elsworth) and she's the one the clipping is about.? She was listed as a Clairvoyant in Saratoga in the 1900 census, and she helped find a missing fisherman in Saratoga Lake after many unsuccessful tries by others.? So, maybe 1885- 1909 would be more exact years for the search as she was living in Schenectady from 1910 - 1920 censuses and in Rochester in the 1930 census. Any help, direction, suggestions? Thank you in advance, Alisa
