I am looking for information on the John Hall Cemetery in Milford Township or any information on this family. Thank you Deb Morrison Middletown Ohio

Thanks, Sandi, I read more than I had in the past but it was the link I'd found reference to James Harmon in the first place. Interesting stuff! Rita

Rita, Try this link for the information. www.middle-america.org/crout/Madison/index.html Good Luck, Sandi in Orlando -----Original Message----- From: Rita Elkins [mailto:ritaelkins@commspeed.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 6:58 PM To: OHBUTLER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHBUTLER-L] Lookup for Harmon at Lane Public Library Sabrina, Could you also look up something for me? In the Madison Twp. Bicentennial Sketches (1799-1999) by Geo. C. Crout, it mentioned a 1913 flood that gutted the right end of the home of the James Harmon family in Woodsdale (intersection of Augspurger and Wayne-Madison Rds.) I'm wondering if that was my G-grandfather James Harmon (1859-1943) married to Sarah Quinlisk (1861-1942) and if so, if any children besides my grandfather William E. Harmon (1897-1947) that were in the house at that time...maybe those details would be in a newspaper clipping. I know very little about this side of the family because William abandoned his wife Helen Rose Gfroerer and five kids around 1932 so it wasn't talked about much. I think William died in a TB hospital in KY in 1947, but I lack precise dates on any of them. Thank you if you have the time to find anything!

Thanks for posting this article. It's very helpful!! Roberta (Banker) Stein

Here is anoter article I found that might be of interest. Carolyn July 26, 1919 Middletown News Signal POTTER HOMESTEAD GOES Residence Which has stood for a Century Must make way for New Structure of the Church of Christ Perhaps the oldest landmark within the immediate boundaries of the city is destined to disappear with the construction of the proposed new edifice of the Church of Christ. It is the Potter Homestead located where Third and Fourth Streets ( Central and First now) meet beyond the Big Four Railroad. The congregation has purchased the property and the old Potter residence will be wrecked to make room for the foundations of the modern structure. The two story oblong dwelling with the entrance in the center is probably more than a hundred years old. Those familiar with the history of the property are confident that it was built by James Grimes, father of the Methodists here and pastor of the first congregation organized by that denomination in Middletown. The house is excellently preserved and has been occupied constantly as a familt residence since it was erected, Originally the house was the home of Ben Potter and family and fronted on what was known as the Blue Ball Pike. The family came from New Jersey. The Potter farm embraced about 100 Acres. On the opposite side of the pike lay the old Lefferson farm. Feeders to the Miami and Erie Canal passed through both these farms, their channels having long since been filled in. The antiquity of the homestead and of the farm may be appreciated from the fact that the Potters lived there long before the introduction of modern improvements. It was not until 1871 that the Big Four Railroad was put through. The railroad was to have been laid through the property at the foot of Third Stree hill (Central Ave now) but the citizens raised a sum of money and induced the company to build the road where it is now. After having operated the farm for many years Mr. Potter lived in the residence which he built where Cappel's store stands. No members of the family reside here now. It may be of interest here to note that Sloan Gordon, who at one time worked on the editorial staff of the News-Signal and is now a magazine writer in New York married a grandaughter of Ben Potter, Bertha Crawford by name. The farm was staked off into city lots in 1880. Ben Potter was a man of excellent character and reputation. By creed he was a Presbyterian and the fact that Alexander Campbell, of the Church of Christ, was also a Presbyterian, would not dispute his peace of mind to know that the followers of Campbell are to establish a sanctuary on the site of the Potter homestead. __________________________________ Yahoo!

I was at the library yesterday looking for an obit in the 1920 Newspapers and came upon this article. I am not related to the Banker family (I don't think!!) but several of my family lines did live in the Madison twp area where the Banker family lived. Thought this article might be interesting to others. Middletown News-Signal March 8, 1920 ED BANKER IS REMEMBERED There was a gathering of the clans at the Banker Homestead at the Poastown Bridge Saturday night. It was the birthday of J.E. Banker, who now resides in the house occupied by his father Jacob Banker on the same farm which has been in the Banker family ever since Ohio was first settled. Originally there were two mills at Poastown bridge, deriving power from an old brush dam long since washed away by floods. On the Banker farm today a little section of land known as "the island" formed by the old mill race that used to carry the swift current to the saw mill and the grist mill operated by the Bankers of another generation. David Banker, the grandfather of J.E. Banker and E. L. Banker, of this city was holder of the first water rights on the Miami River in this vicinity. Abner Enoch also had a dam on the Miami river further down from the Banker dam, however, and he operated huge mills at Manchester. When the Middletown Hydraulic company was formed and the big dam constructed further up the river, it cut off the supply of water from the Banker dam. There were lawsuits but the Banker mills had to be abandoned. On Saturday all the living brothers and sisters of the family of Jacob Banker were present with their children and grandchildren including Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Banker of this city, Misses Jane and Emma Banker, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Conover of Franklin, Charles Chamberlain, Dale Chamberlain, Mrs. Earl Chamberlain and family, Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Banker, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Snider, Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Long, of Hamilton, Mrs. Josephine Banker of Dayton, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shafor of Carlisle, W. T. Chamberlain of this city. Fred E. Banker of this city and Mr. and Mrs. Mats of Jacksonburg. A chicken dinner was served after which J. E. Banker, the host was presented with a leather traveling bag. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Hey Del, When I was a kid, about 40 years ago, there was a Charles and Mildred(?) Conrad that lived about a half mile from my Grandparents house on Bunker Hill-Woods Road, Reily Township, Butler County, Ohio. The main thing I remember about them was the fact that Charlie had bought and installed one of those bomb shelters, like they used to sell in the mid-fifties, this on a small knoll behind his farm house. Also I seem to remember that he had 5 or 6 kids and most all of them were girls. Poor Charlie. Steve Moore Hamilton, Ohio AA8EK@aol.com

Searching Adkins, Mayes, Conrad in Hamilton, Ohio or Butler County, Ohio. Will share, Thanks Del Gardner Got Tupperware? I Do! 561-964-8958

If anyone has any information on the following surnames then please drop me a line. The names are Whipple, Ziliox, Sayres, Beeler and Sample. I have some information on them now and would be more than happy to share what I know. Steve Moore Hamilton, Ohio AA8EK@aol.com

Does anyone on this list ever get to the Lane Public Library in downtown Hamilton, Ohio, and if so, would they be willing to do lookups for me in the Hamilton city directories (at their convenience, of course)? Thank you, Barbara Noble Indianapolis, IN Barbara

Norma, Thanks for these street names. That helps me a lot. And I never gave it a thought that my ancestor might have been the owner of the house, but it makes complete sense. Is there any way to find out which street in the 2nd Ward this house was located on? Did Hamilton have city directories that far back? And does anyone on this list do city directory lookups for us who live out-of-state?

Barbara, The copy of the 1875 map that I have shows the 2nd Ward as being bordered by High St. on the north, the Miami River on the west, and South Ave. on the south. The east border is sort of spread out so there's not a straight line. Streets included were, High St, Water St., Front St., Second St, Third St. Basin St, Ludlow St., Wood St, Chestnut, Walnut, Washington, Hanover, and Second Sts. The census shows her as having a value of her propterty, so perhaps she owned the house and they others were boarders.
