Hi everyone, I just got off the phone with Pam at the Mary Lou Johnson Library in Kenton. They will have the Mobil computer lab unit the first week of August . I will be conducting an Internet genealogy research course August 2nd from 5pm to 8pm. Please call or sign up at the Mary Lou Johnson Library 419-673-2278 or let me know if you would like to attend the Aug 2nd evening class. On August 6th, we are trying to plan a "Genealogy Research day". The day will begin at the Hardin County Genealogy Library, then head to the Mary Lou Johnson Library. We could have a catered lunch brought in at the MLJ Library or go to a restaurant. After a lunch break we could research in the genealogy Dept. or head out to the Mobil Lab unit and continue research on the computers. I have permission to use the computer lab unit all day. there is a limit to 9 people and each of you would have your own PC. We have a limit of 9 per computer lab class. I can conduct another evening class on the 6th if we get enough interested or need more information about Aug. 2nd The Library is also conducting other computer courses besides internet genealogy research. If you are interested, please let me know. I will have pass outs that you could use at home and will also show you a few short cuts and tricks on your computer research.

On the lsit posted on the Cemetery sight, for Fletcher Cemetery the PEARSON names is highlighted, but it does not come up on the partial list. Does someone know the first name of this Pearson? Julie

East Cemetery was located in a field close to the corner of N. Easttown Rd. and Rte 309 graves . When Lowes wanted to locate in that area, the graves were dug up one by one and placed in graves at Greenlawn Cem., south of Elida. Elida Cemetery is the same as Elida Lutheran Cemetery, just south of Lutheran Church, between Main St. &amp; Rte 309. The cemetery was converted to a Children's Day Care Center years ago and the graves still remain. Hope this helps.
