I can give you a little information on Abram Creque who married my great grandfather's sister. Unfortunately, I believe that the only child he had with my great great aunt Elizabeth died as a child.

Especially interested in the early period from 1800 - 1900 but feel free to send anything in. Wilson W. Simmons Jr. Town of Potter, NY Historian Yates County

OBITUARY. DAVID GOODRICH David GOODRICH, whose death occurred July 8, 1896, was born Jan. 3, 1813, in what was known as the GOODRICH settlement in the town of Tioga, where his father, with others from Endfield in the Connecticut valley, had settled while Tioga and much of the surrounding county was unbroken wilderness. When a young man he became engaged in rafting lumber down the river, selling it at the great lumber market at the mouth of the Susquehanna river. He also engaged in mercantile business and until about 1870, when he retired from active life, was among the best known and most highly respected of Owego's businessmen. A charter member of the Congregational church in Owego he was one of the staunchest supporters and a most ardent advocate of its principles and policy. An uncompromising Republican and Unionist his sympathies took material form and more then one family whose bread winners were defending the nation's honor in the sixties, had their burdens lightened by the kindness of "Uncle David." "Nor were the boys in blue" themselves forgotten and every effort made to alleviate their suffering at the front "was sure of his active, helpful co-operation. After the battle of Gettysburg he was one of the number from Owego to minister personally to the wounded on the battlefield. A sturdy soldier and defender of the right has fallen. The clear, strong voice of duty rings down the line, "Close up the ranks," let us who still are privileged to hold our places hear and obey until we, too, having fought a good fight and kept the faith, shall find our victors crown. Mr. GOODRICH is survived by two sons, Charles T. of Kasson, Minn., and Lyman T. of Roseville, NJ. One daughter, Mrs. W. D. CADY of Binghamton, and three sisters, Mrs. John WILLIAMS of Farmer, NY, Mrs. George TRUMAN and Mrs. T. I. CHATFIELD of Owego. His funeral was conducted by Rev. C. M. BARTHOLOMEW, Sunday at 2 p. m. at his late residence 338 Front street, The interment was in Evergreen Cemetery and was private. DROWNED AT WAVERLY A Sad Accident to a Will Coe of Sullivanville. Waverly, July 5, - A sad drowning accident occurred about a quarter past 9 o'clock this morning in the Chemung river at what is known as Gipsey Green. Will COE and his younger brother Frank and Charles CORNISH of Sullivanville and G. A. LAWHEAD of South Waverly went over to the river to take a bath. The river bottom at this point slopes down abruptly and the boys were out much beyond their depth before they knew it. While endeavoring to return the elder COE boy called to his brother and said he could hold out no longer and sank at once. The other two called out to John LAWHEAD who was on shore. for help aid and he loosened one of the boats chained along the shore and rowed to the spot, but the drowning lad could not be found. They at once came over to town for assistance, and after a two hour search his body was found near where he went down in about 14 feet of water. The body was brought to HANFORD'S undertaking and prepared for burial. The two brothers and CORNISH had come down from Sullivanville yesterday on their wheels and were stopping at the home of a friend John LAWHEAD, 382 South Fulton street. COE was single man, 21 years of age and was a member of the grocery firm of SMITH & COE at Sullivanville. He was a much respected young man in the place and has hosts of friends who will regret his death.- Elmira Advertiser. WESTON TERRY WESTON, the little two-year old son of Rev. and Mrs. S. A.

MINERS BURIED (continuation) The foundations of nearly every house in Pittson was shaken and windows and doors Rattled as in a tornado. In houses nearer the mine persons were thrown from their beds. The first thought was that a great earthquake had occurred. . . (two sentences cut off,) . . .by daybreak. (Ditto) Stalwart men stood appalled, and frantic woman, who had husbands and sons in the doomed mine, waited in despair. One mother cried out that she had two sons below. Another was the wife or widow, of some unfortunate and had nine helpless children at home. Many knelt on the ground and in voices broken with sobbing, implored Divine Providence to restore their loved ones alive. When it was given out that there was little or no hope of rescuing the men alive, women and girls fainted and were borne away senseless. The work of rescue was prompt and efficient. The best miners, who remained on the surface, joined voluntarily in the hazardous task - for hazardous it certainly was. There was the constant menace of another fall or an explosion of firedamp. Special efforts were made to keep the air fan in good order, so that if by any chance the men were alive they should have fresh air. The blocked slope and gangways held out little hope of the air reaching them. The rescuers were divided into three relays of 40 men each, under the direction of Mine Foreman, Alex McMILLEN. The men worked as thought they never worked, clearing away the debris in the slope with the energy that springs out of the knowledge of dear lives behind it. They made good headway, considering the difficulties they had to contend with, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon had cleared the slope to a distance of 600 feet. Activity brought encouragement, but when the first clearance it revealed a sight that dispelled all hope. Under the mass of rock lay the bodies of LANGAN and LYNOTT. A damper fell upon the work of the rescuers. They had been working for life and found death. Still the hope remained that others of the men might be penned in somewhere and they would yet have the satisfaction of finding them alive. At 9 o'clock it became necessary to swear in extra policeman to control the crowd around the mouth of the shaft. It had increased to fully 7,000. Ropes were stretched around the shaft and only mine official's were allowed to enter the enclosure. Young SHERIDAN, the water boy, who had such a narrow escape, tells a thrilling tale of the disaster. He thinks there was an explosion of gas which blew down the newly erected timbers and caused the cave-in. When he left the mine to go out the slope to get water those inside had no apprehension of a fall or "squeeze." Everything was working nicely and the men expected to be out of the mine within and hour. "The report of the fall," says the boy, 'was like a hundred cannon, and the force of it blew me fully 25 feet. I was hurled against the side of the slope. A piece of rock hit me back of the head, the wound commenced to bleed and then I fainted. RICHARDS and GILL, who were on their way out after timber, concur with SHERIDAN that the concussion was terrific. The cannot conceive the possibility of anybody being in the wreck and escaping with his life. Superintendent LAW says: Nobody regrets this dreadful occurrence more than I do. It is too early yet to give any reason as to the cause, but I can assure you, that had I thought there was any danger in the work undertaken to the men, not a single one of them would have been allowed to enter the mine with my permission. I do not care for the damage to the mine. It is the great loss of life that gives me the most sorrow. The breaker of the Twin shaft burned down three years ago. There were over 100 men in the mine at the time, but all escaped through a second opening. The first disaster in the anthracite region was in September, 1869, when 120 men perished in the Avondale mine, this county. The breaker over the mine caught fire, and all the men in the mine were suffocated. This great catastrophe caused the legislature to pass a law compelling mines to have two openings. Later - The report that two bodies had been found in the mine proves to have been premature. Up to 9 o'clock no bodies had been found. At that hour all hope of finding any of them alive had been abandoned. Superintendent LATHROP of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, who is an authority, says it will be ten days before the bodies are reached. He says they are under a heavy fall. During the late hours of the afternoon the searchers made but little progress, because the part of the slope upon which their energies were bent was "working." The heaviest timbers were like matches under the heavy pressure from above.. At 11 o'clock the situation at the ill-fated mine was unchanged. The rescuers were hard at work, but making little progress. Superintendent McMILLEN has given orders that the rescuers must proceed with great caution now, as the rock they are laboring under is "working" more or less. There is danger that in hurrying the work others may be lost. A conference of prominent mine superintendents from all over the Wyoming valley was held, and the situation in the mine was discussed. The conclusion was reached that to prevent further loss of life the work of rescue must proceed with care. It is also the unanimous belief of the superintendents that the mine is now a tomb, and it will be some days before the rescuers reach the bodies. At 12:25 o'clock this morning there was another fall in the slope. It drove the rescuers back. The twenty feet of ground they had gained since 8 o'clock was therefore lost. At midnight the crowd around the mouth of the shaft had dwindled to about 800. FIREDAMP EXPLOSION. Two Miners Killed and Three Others Missing at Monongahela. Monongahela, PA, July 1, - An explosion of gas in the Washington coal mine at Lafayette City killed Mike BARBARAS and Louie DERISTE, two Italians. Three others who went into the mine at the same time are missing and are believed be buried under the debris. There names are not known. The mine has been closed for some time and the men were given permission to enter for their tools. It is supposed their lamps ignited the gas. Bill Grummons [email protected]

MINERS BURIED About One Hundred Entombed at Pittson, PA. SMALL HOPES OF RESCUE Hundreds of Tons of Earth Caved In Upon The Doomed Men. The Disaster Had Threatened For Some Days and the Men Were Trying to Prevent the Very Calamity Which Occurred - Two Men and a Boy, Who Had Started to Leave the Slope, the Only Ones Who Escaped - The Fall Followed by a terrific Detonation Whish Was Heard Miles Away and Shook the Entire Town - Mining Experts Declare it Will Be Ten Days Before the Bodies of the Victims Can Be Rescued - Thousands of People, Including Friends and Relatives of the Doomed Men, Surround the mouth of the Shaft and Give Vent to Their Grief. Wilkes-Barrie, PA, June 29, - While 90 miners were at work in the Red Ash vein of the Twin Shaft at Pittson, about 3 o'clock Sunday morning the roof caved in and it is believed that all the men perished. About 40 of the imprisoned men were English-speaking miners, the others foreigners. The Names of the Former are. M. J. LANGAN: inside superintendent. Edward BUCKLEY; John CASEY; Edwin ROGERS; James KEHOE; James MCDONALD; Edward DELANEY; Cornelius MCGUIRE; James GOLDEN; M. O'BRIEN; Michael HUGHES; Edward KILDAY; James BURKE; Pat RUANE; Thomas TENPENNY; J. H. LYNOTT; inside foreman. Alex McCORMACK; fire boss. Robert HASTON; machinist. Thomas MURPHY; driver boss. The Following Miners: Thomas COSTELLO; J. H. KELLEY; Michael GAUDHAN; John HART; James DAILY; Michael CONNELL; Daniel WARD; Frank KEHOE; James CLEARY; Michael R. GAFFNEY; Thomas DERING; Anthony KANE; J. W. MURPHY; Owen LEE; Anthony GORDON; James WALL; and his son; Dominick O'MALLEY; Peter MARTIN; Michael FORD; Thomas DUBRICK; Thomas DEMPSEY; Thomas CARLIN; Patrick GIBBONS; John O'BOYLE; Peter JOYCE. Aside from these there may be other English-speaking miners among the unfortunates. Thirty Polanders and Huns were entombed and it is thought that the total number of bodies will top 100. The men were at work propping up the roof when the fall occurred. The alarm was immediately given by the ringing of the fire bells and rescuers were put to work without delay. At 8 o'clock in the afternoon the first bodies were found in the slope, some distance from the place where the men were working.. More then two-thirds of the victims were married men and leave families. Among them were acting Mayor LANGAN, who was inside superintendent of the mine and J. H. LYNOTT, a ward councilman. About two weeks ago the surveyors reported to General Superintendent LAW that the mine was "squeezing" and unless steps were immediately taken to timber it a cave-in or fall might be looked for. Superintendent LAW lost no time, but at once put a number of lumbermen at work to brace the falling roof. The "squeeze" continued, however, and Saturday the situation became alarmingly. In the afternoon a light fall occurred, and the men at work had to retreat before it. A consultation of mine officials was then held and it was decided that heroic measures would have to be resorted to prevent heavy damage to the mine. Inside Superintendent LANGAN gave instructions that the most experienced miners should be secured and that the party would go down the mine at 7 o'clock. Expert lumbermen put in appearance at that hour and were soon lowered into the workings. They made their was to Red Ashe vein, 1,500 feet down the slope. The work of propping proceeded rapidly until 11 o'clock when another fall occurred. It made another rumbling noise and the flying coal and debris drove the men back. Then the "squeeze" ceased again and the men thought it safe to resume work. They labored until 3:20 o'clock when, as it is presumed, the roof fell in without warning, making a tremendous crash. It is supposed, however, that the men were not all together but some but some near the slope, and those probably ran up the incline when the fall occurred. This is the only way the finding of Mayor LANGAN'S body in the slope can be accounted for. If the men had received any warning, they have had had time to run up the slope, but not to any great distance. The falling rock and coal filled up the slope and the adjoining gangways, completely shutting off all avenues of escape. It was at first supposed that the men might have escaped being caught in the fall and that they were imprisoned behind the debris, but the finding of the two bodies would go to disprove this. It is possible, however, that living men may still be behind the fall, although it is extremely improbable. Even if they escaped being crushed by the falling roof, the probability of their being alive in a gaseous mine is remote. The alarm was first given by Water Carrier John SHERIDAN, who with William RICHARD and Thomas GILL were the only ones to escape of the whole party who entered the mine. He was on his way up the slope to get some fresh water for the men, and when about 100 feet from the foot of the shaft he was knocked down by the concussion. He was badly cut and burned by flying coal and rock. He lay unconscious for ten minutes and then came up the shaft. The concussion was so great that it was heard for miles around.

Are there birth notices available for the Finger Lakes area? Specifically I'm looking for 1854. Thanks, Sue Morris

And as a recently retired SUNY librarian, I can add that virtually every genealogy book is available somewhere via ILL because what we consider a treasure in WNY is often just another circulating book in a public library out in Kansas (or somewhere). In fact, I have to start looking at my genealogy books and decide which would be better used if donated to a library's circulating collection so that they'd be available for interloan, too. Doesn't work every time, of course, but surprisingly often! And every local library has some ILL mechanism, it's just that some are faster than others. And yes, there could be a small fee. Also, the more information you have (in addition to the title), the faster your request will be processed. Many old standard genealogy and local history books were microfiched by UMI and sold as a collection to larger college and university libraries or special libraries. Microfiche can be awkward and usually don't circulate, but call a larger nearby library's reference desk and inquire. You may not be able to borrow something, but you can usually view it in the library, espeically if your tax dollars helped pay for it in the first place.. Good luck!
