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, 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
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.
