One of my major brick walls came tumbling down today and I wanted to share my news! I encourage you all to keep trying. It took me 3-4 years to find this, but I did find it, and it was worth the wait! Let me introduce you to my long lost great great grandmother, Margaret Bahen (BACON?) Kane: The Athens Gazette Athens, PA August 10, 1899 Died KANE - Margaret K. Kane died early Thursday morning, August 3d, at the home of her son, John Kane, of Waverly, with whom she had resided for some time. Mrs. Kane had been a resident of Waverly for the past thirty-five years, her husband, Simon Kane, having died the year after they came there. She was a faithful communicant at St. James church, and was well known in Waverly. She had been troubled for some time with heart difficulty and other troubles due to her advancing years. She leaves two sons, Michael, of Elmira, and John, of Waverly. A brother, Michael Bacon, of Friendsville, Pa., is also living. The funeral services were held from St. James church Friday morning at nine o'clock, and the interment was in St. James cemetery. I have a whole new set of questions and research to do, but I can't tell you how excited I am!!! Ellen Kane Buglewicz Papillion, NE

Do early assessment records (1790's to about 1820) exist and if so where are they located? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you! J. Kelsey Jones montrose@npacc.net

LYNCH was born in Barton, Tioga County, New York, June 28, 1844, and died at her home in Berkshire, Tioga County, New York, November 19, 1888. She was the daughter of Alanson CARR. December 25, 1860, she was united in marriage with Charles O. LYNCH. She was the mother of seven children. She experienced religion in 1870, and united with the Aurora Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York. On moving to Berkshire, New York, she became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of that place. For about two years she suffered greatly from a cancer, which caused her death. She bore her suffering with great fortitude, leaning upon the promises of Jesus. She looked forward to the life beyond with hopefulness. She said at different times: "Jesus is with me." "Without him I do not know what I would do." As she neared the end she called her friends to her bedside and gave them good counsel, leaving a message for those who were not p! resent. Rev. George O. BEERS
