I was wondering if anyone has the ability to look up a birth from Butler Co from about 1910 to 1914? I am looking fro the birth of a John Bell born about 1913 or 1914. His fathers name would have been William bell and his mothers name Irene. Sadly I do not know her maiden name. Irene died in 1932 in Butler Co Ohio. If anyone has the ability to do a lookup for her death it woud be much appreciated. Does anyone know what newspapers served Middleton or Butler Co Ohio during the early 1900s?

Carolyn, I just looked at my file at home and found a little information under Salvation Army. On April 4, 1987 The Middletown Journal ran a supplement about the Salvation Army and their 100 years in Middletown. On page 9 is six paragraphs under the heading "Garfield St. Mission was once a shelter." On the next page there is a photograph of "Garfield Mission day nursey." The mission building must have been at 1404 Garfield. Apparently this was a church started by the Middletown council of Churches and taken over in 1944 by the Salvation Army. At 1406 Garfield was The Haven, which was a shelter for homeless mothers and children. In 1949 they opened a nursery for children 2 to 6 years old. Some time in the early 1950s the whole thing must have closed.

Carolyn, I have heard of the Garfield Mission, but know little about it. I have an index of George Crout's articles that starts in with articles written in August of 1959. His indexing is not right good especially for trying to find some specific item. I do not see anything about the Garfield Mission. I am fairly certain that I have seen something. If I have some time, I will look at his files.

Does anyone on the list know anything about the Garfield Mission that was established around 1908 by the Rev. McKinnon (and others)of the Methodist Protestant Church in Middletown? I have learned that Jake Seibold, Sr was the Supervisor of it. All I have been able to find on it was an obit on the Butler County obit site that mentioned it and in the History of the Churches of Middletown compiled by Mary Anne Weikal. Did George Crout have anything on this organization? I'd like to know how long it lasted? Thanks. Carolyn __________________________________ Yahoo!

I have a Harmon that possibly came out of Butler. Joseph Henry Harmon b. 4 Sept. 1875 Enfield IL. He married Adele Smith also from Enfield but her grandfather was from that area as well as my great great grandfather so maybe that line of Harmons that I show came from there too.
