I've been over the road from Russellville to Winchester in 1955 to play in Winchester's old frame barn of a gym. Lift a trapdoor in the floor to get to the dressing room, and there,under all that dry wood, burned a pot bellied stove for heat. Dangerous! And the gym was dim. DIM!. Mostly we've been bypassing Russellville the past 20 years. Following Rt 68 south to Red Oak,and then a hard left on US rt 62,and then over bast Liberty church and churchyard to Decatur. My wife's Mahaffey's pioneered south of Decatur. Liberty church. Liberty township a few miles east. Liberty Brass Band. Must be stories related to the Underground RR. 10 miles from Russellville down to Ripley's Rev John Rankin and John Parker. Shaker cuntry,too,1806-1811. 100 + families to Buseron Shaker village-illfated- north of Vincinnes Indiana. Dragoo was one.

I went to " Cousin' Dave Young's in about 1966-67,on Lake Grant road,and bought 'Happy",an Irish Setter pup from Dave's great quail hunting dog. Dave was in the new house then,with it's family room of stone,blass,and beams . Dave and wife were apple customers of our Fagley's Fruit Farm, and I remember Dave and wife moved back into the smaller,and older home,when he got a good offer to rent the new home. Dave's forte was as a stone mason,son say. More likely his forte was as a quail hunter. Wuail have been rare since the 1977-78 era winters. More deer than quail. Maybe more wild turkey,and wild geese. I've got Bob Brown's book on 'Vincent Brown m Thomas E Allen's daughter. They lived s e e of Lake Manor towards White Oak Creek. I dated a girl on Dave's road once. 911ed my wife to the hospital early today. As I talked to the people in the emergency room waiting room,one lady volunteered she knew the location,on her farm,on Smokey Run Rd [?] near New Hope, of 17 creekstone tombstones-one supposed to me of a soldier named McCall. We also talked the Joseph Holman cemetary at rt 133 and Hennings Mills,near the farm she was raised on. 200 acre Lake Grant was built on Sterling Run by Ohio about the 1940's. Sterling Street's in e 1797 Bethel. But Starling is the spelling of the road between Sterling Creek,and Sterling Steet. Georgetown is 15 years younger than the old road between West Union,Adams Co,and Bethel, Clermont Co. So present Ohio RT 125 WAS NOT YET BUILT. White Oak Valley Rd was the original road,I think. Thru Bri dgewater south of Arnheim. More importantly to me followed by Lake Drive In Movie,between it,and US RT 68,S of Mt Orab. Dad was the fisherman. Outdor movies were my delight! Even took one of you on my Email address book roster there once!. And today,those old movies often had Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Bob Hope we honor today. Coach Jim Liming rented 12 foot galvanealed metal rowboats of Lake Grant. 1956 Clermont Co High School Basketball Tournyment finals,Jim Liming had coached 3 years,almost every player of both teams. Bethel and Williamsburg. Oh,Clifford,I forget which team won! That land around New Hope,and Wahlsburg,and White Oak Valley was settled about 1800-05 I note Farmer's Chapel Church of Christ and Christian Union, has no cemetary,but family cemetaries abound. Scott township,is it. Bit of e Pike twnsp.

Also Hermon, Since your wife is a real estate agent, maybe she knows of the farm my great grandfater spoke of in Winchester. He was Alexander Gilfillen, the town doc in Russelville. Cynthia

Hermon: I, one of many, truly enjoy the way you describe the History of Brown County and I read with great attention to every detail hoping to find a mere mention of one of my ancestors. Finally, it dawns on me, just ask! Would you have any recollection of the Hanselmans or Gilfillens or Campbells or Pindells? They are my more recent ancestors, 1850's to 1950's. Also earlier ancestors: Long Bunner Strait or Straight Hughes (Clermont County) Brown Springer Lucas Dragoo Prickett Allot of them seemed to come from what was then the Monongalia area of Virginia. I have a pretty good list of names, just no good stories. Any bells ringing? Cynthia Hanselman-Allen Cincinnati

Is anyone aware of local newspapers online for Brown & Clermont counties? I have been searching and cannot find anything. Help... Linda Peak Seals Southern Indiana

My wife's a real estate agent with several listings scattered around Brown Co, and when she takes me along on her business trips,she has to listen to me rattle tidbits of history. Unlike you,she doesn't have to be polite to shut me up!. So,the saddest trip was 4-5-6 weeks ago across White Oak Valley Rd,and then Shaffer RD, and finally Hamer Rd to west of Sardenia. No crops planted . Bobby Conn said there was a statue of Larry Mullen that way,but we missed it. That trip,near constant rains had prevented crop planting. Every field was sprayed with herbicide to plant,but none planted. We've made a couple to 'Old Fairgrounds Street" in n Russellville,where she has listed a couple. Must be a story behind 'Old Fairgrounds" . I did talk of Cornelius Washburn,the hunter-scout ,whose land we crossed. And we went to Ripley,and she drove me past John Parker's house,on the n w riverbank.Rev Rankin's house,above,and behind the town,has long been honored as a Underground RR STOP. Now black,John Parker's,on the riverbank's getting attention,after a book was published. And I toured the Piano Factory Antique Mall,while she showed a house nearby. Someday-someday,I'll get her up Psgah Ridge,2-3 miles west of town,over Levana,where her Alexander Hill and Andrew Kirkpatrick lived in 1799. Someday. We have not been far from the s ARNHEIN home of her James Kirkpatrick m Mahala Sellers. 1860-70 . And we've been a couple times to Lake Manor,s of Mt Orab,to eat. Bill Krody,,like my wife,from Williamsburg High, is minister of Georgetown Methodist,and Bethel's retired Methodist ministers-Lowell and Scottie Crabtree are also in Georgetown. In my day,Justin Wmsley's dad ministered there. And Rev Tweedle at the Presbyterian. Sally Tweedle Wardlow[?] is still around Georgetown. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Would anyone know where the early membership lists could be found for Mt. Carmel and Georgetown Methodist, and Ketterman Chapel? Ketterman Chapel was first a United Bretheran Church then became United Methodist and I think it is still used. Thank you very much for any info.

There is a lot,and also,not much. Methodists had a publishing house in Cincinnati to keep busy when not publishing hymnals,etc.,they published several biographies,or autobiographies of ministers. And the 'Cylopedia of Methodism" .At the same time,especially when Methodist circut-riders had creeks to swim,they kept poor records. I've never seen any Methodist records compete with early Quaker,or Swedish Lutherian,or Germanic church records. My own local Methodist was the earliest preaching on what later was the Brown-Clermont Co line area. 1798. My own Rev Jesse Justice preached in both counties. From the marriages he was preforming in his 21th year preaching in Ohio-1826,Mt Zion,on Rt 756,just in Lewis Townshi,Brown Co was his last church.

Thanks, Sharon. I have so much information on William and Cynthia. I even visited the barn where William and 3 other men ran a saddle shop during the civil war. It just seems as if they dropped from sight... I've not been able to find their death records or final resting place. You see, I've been on sort of a 'quest' to get graves marked/repaired for my family. I want to find my GG-grandparents! Thanks for your response.

I'm certainly no expert, so I had no particular advice to present on the page. It is usually done on a case-by-case basis. From my observations, those old marble stones are the worst. In many cemeteries, they are reduced to just rounded humps with the writing lost forever. The only real long-term solution would be total replacement, assuming that you found someone who could do them in an "old" style. I think there is a cemetery-interest list on Rootsweb somewhere. You could look for advice there.

Will be looking up your request today.....just give me some time, as some of those records are really hard to find, and takes some real detective work...

Don't mean to butt in, but if any of them are Veterans of any war, the government will orivide a new stone for free....check with your local Veteran's adminstration... I was able to get a new stone for my G/G/Grandfather for being in the service of the war of 1812.
