Hi Judith, I checked the Butler Co. deaths film at the FHC last night but couldn't find an Elizabeth Clark. I did find what seems to be her husband. John CLARK, Born: Hamilton Ohio Death date: Jan. 11, 1870 Cause of Death: Dropsy Died in Milford Twp. Res: Near Somerville It doesn't list the cemetery. Elizabeth must have died before 1850. In 1850 he is with what seems to be his children, and in 1860 he has a wife, Nancy.

Norma and All, How can anyone outside the State of Ohio get access to the information on these maps? Sandi Orlando, Florida

Have them check with their local library - or the library in the nearest large town - to see if they can access the Sanborn maps with their library card and a pin number. In Texas we can access them (Heritage Quest and other sites) through the Texshare program, so probably each state has their own program.

Since it had a bicycle manf. shop on the 3rd floor, it probably was the old Lamneck building that went out in a blaze of glory about 20 years ago. What a fire that was. It was a huge building. It was on Grand, at the railroad track on the west side of what is now University. Norma
