Linda You have made my day. The only other information I had was that she is buried in Salem Church Cemetery in Union Co., Ohio with her son William Crawford Brumley and his second wife. Minerva's husband married twice more after her death and is buried in Ashley, Morrow County, Ohio. Is there any way I could get a copy of her death record? I will be very happy to send you any fee there might be. My mailing address is Marilyn Bartenslager 3735 State Route 181 South Greenville, Ky 42345.

Marilyn, I have Minerva's death record here in Butler County. The record says that she lived in Oxford and died in Oxford, but does not say where she is buried, nor does it give any info about her family.

I am looking for death information for my ggg-grandmother Minerva Jane (Tilson) Brumley. She died 15Nov1891 and is buried in Union County, Indiana. I believe she may have actually died in Butler County, Ohio. According to my ggg-grandfather's military papers the family lived in Oxford, Butler County from about 1890 until after death in November 1891. I am hoping some one can help me.

My personal wish list: Is anyone taking (or interested in taking) digital pictures of tombstones in Morgan twp cemeteries? I'd like to use them with an on-line book project, and maybe Caroline or I would be interested in adding them to our Butler Co cemetery on-line pages. My first choice would be the old George cemetery... Nancy in KS

HI Just reminding you that we will be working in the Woodmansee Sugar Valley Cemetery, 8AM- 12PM Saturday July 15, 2006. Chiggers have been a problems so come prepared- Bug spray sometimes helps. With the summer heat please remember to bring water. Special thanks to all the young people from the Schuster family who have taken time out of their summer to work in the cemetery. The young eyes and perspective are always helpful. Another reminder we are working the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month May- October except for the First Saturdays in July and September. Thanks to all of the regulars. Your work in the cemetery will assure that this cemetery will be in good repair for another 50 years or so. Perhaps the cemetery won't be forgotten after that.

The 1836 maps at the Smith Library were very large (I think they were larger than 11x14 because they could not be copied in one piece on the copier) and were loose (i.e. in a large portfolio/folder). They were not in a book. I believe McBride's published these maps at various times during the 19th century. I have copies of a few from Clinton Co. from 1859 and 1876. -- Dennis M.
