Hello. I am new to this list. I am interested in the Snell, Moorhead, Arthur, and Reed families of Brown and Clermont counties. Thanks. Matthew

I am coming in - in the middle of this...did someone have a Cemetery Book for Clermont, and doing look-ups? If by chance that is the case...can someone look for any BETTIS (wouldnt be many if in the book at all), and any JAMES THOMAS, burials. Thank You ! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 5:00 AM Subject: OHCLERMO-D Digest V05 #116

No, those names aren't familiar. I'll pull out my photos and see if there's something there. I'm having surgery Monday, so it might be a week or more before I get to it. I wish I had read the whole cemetery. I was just so excited to find my Hollisters and Watsons! Sandi Hollister

The names I am looking for in the Felicity cemetery are Mary Jane (Rice) Hurdle (died Feb. 22, 1919) , Thomas Asbury Hurdle (died Sept 10, 1911), William Fletcher Hurdle (died March 28, 1929), Mrs. Lilly B. Hurdle (died Feb. 27, 1934), Grant Hurdle (died Jan 31, 1920), Thomas Hamer Hurdle (died Aug. 31, 1917), Mary F. (Rice) Hurdle (died Nov. 23, 1926). I'd like to know the location of their graves, if possible. i appreciate your help. Thanks. Elaine

Sandi- Do you recall any names of ALTMAN, STONER, HOMAN or STEELMAN in this cemetery? Thanks!

The Warren County Genealogical Society visited this long abandoned, overgrown cemetery and photographed all tombstones that we could find. The results are now on line at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/Cemetery/hillwagner/index.htm Although we knew of the cemetery, we weren't sure of its exact location. A neighboring property owner contacted Lolita Guthrie, at the Ohio Genealogical Society after reading a newspaper article in the Cincinnati Enquirer about old, abandoned cemeteries. Lolita put us in contact with them and they graciously provided us with access to the cemetery. Sadly, we found less than half of the tombstones that had been identified in previous readings of the cemetery but others may still be "hiding" under the heavy groundcover on the property. The cemetery has been referred to by a number of different names through the years. Some of the previous readings indicate that it is in Clermont County.

As far as I know there is only one cemetery in Felicity but it has two names. Originally it was Sewanee Cemetery and was sponsored by the IOOF. Currently it is known as Felicity Cemetery. The records of this cemetery, which is still active are maintained by the funeral home in Felicity the name of which I forget. I don't know when the name changed. My wife has ancestors that were buried there in 1904 and those burial records indicate the name was Sewanee. There is an old cemetery a couple of miles east of town just over the Brown county line, Mt Zion I believe.

Chyrl or anyone on the list: Can someone tell me if there is more than one cemetery in Felicity? On the copies of the death certificates I have for some of my father's relatives it gives the place of burial or removal as "Felicity". Thanks in advance. Elaine

Greenlawn Cemetery is also known as Greenlawn Milford Cemetery. Evergreen is also known a Miamiville Cemetery.

A week ago Friday I spent the day in Batavia, went to the library, coruthouse & then was directed to the "Records Center". By then, I only had a few minutes before I needed to head back to Cinti. to pick up my daughter from school, so didn't have the time to find the documents I was seeking, but I was told I would have to dress in scrubs to view if I would have had the time :-) But, I did get a calling card from the "Records Manager" which reads as follows: CLERMONT COUNTY RECORDS MANAGEMENT DIVISION OTCS-Information Systems Departmant Barb Brown Records Manager [email protected] 289 East Main Street Batavia, Ohio 45103 PHONE (513)735-8660 FAX (513)735-8665 Linda Boorom ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [OHCLER] Cemetery Questions > Hi John, > Just got off the phone with Aileen.

Hi John, Just got off the phone with Aileen. The book about the indigent burials of veterans, she found in the old telephone building years ago, when she did the book. She has no idea where it is now. So, I would imagine that it is the same one I saw with Jennie Marshall, in the storage room of the courthouse basement about two years ago. Those books have all been moved and, to my knowledge, are not accessible right now. The last I heard, with the move of everything out of the basement and dungeon, many items are in "isolation" to make sure that mold is not carried into the new records center. After they are treated, they will be placed in the new record center in Batavia. It is now past 5, so I can't call the Records Center and I am leaving in the morning for the FGS conference. If you will write to me next week to remind me (I am a flake) I will call and ask if that one is through the system yet. Then, if there is any chance of seeing it, you will know before you get here. As for the cemeteries, Miamiville and Evergreen are probably one and the same. I did not know of another cemetery in Miamiville, so had Aileen check her DAR book. No mention of another Miamiville Cemetery in there. Milford and Greenlawn MAY be separate. Although Greenlawn is the most obvious Milford Cemetery, there are others in Milford. You may hear about burials in Greenlawn being in the Old Gatch graveyard. The Gatch burial grounds are contained WITHIN Greenlawn. I would look into the possibility that the "Milford" Cemetery might be the Milford I.O.O.F. Cemetery. This is near downtown old Milford. From the stretch where Rt. 28 and Rt. 50 still run together, you would turn down Maple. It is very small, many lost graves, and an apartment complex nearby. But several prominent citizens were buried there in the 1800s. I am totally unfamiliar with Newtonsville, so asked Aileen about that one. She didn't know of any cemetery other than Plainville, and since the DAR Monument Inscriptions doesn't list one either, she said she would assume that those two are the same. Hope some of this helps! Must go prepare for my trip..... Amy

Are Miamiville Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery one and the same? Are Milford Cemetery and Greenlawn Cemetery one and the same? Are Newtonsville Cemetery and Plainview Cemetery one and the same? John Charles Tippet [email protected]

Following is the complete article on Philip Fishback that I had only partially transcribed and sent to the list previously: Philip Fishback was born in Alsace, then a province of France, about the year 1752, and his wife was a German woman. He was a Frenchman but spoke both German and French, though his children were taught in the latter language only. He came to America with the French soldiers under Lafayette, under whom he fought in the Revolution of 1776. At the close of that patriotic struggle he returned home and married his wife in the adjoining province of Loraine. He again entered the French service under Napoleon with whom he crossed the Alps, and under whom he fought for seven long years, for which he received a medal and an honorable discharge in addition to his meagre monthly stipend. He came to this country in the early part of the century and settled in Pierce township, where his children were born. They were George Fishback, the well known farmer near Olive Branch; Philip, residing at Cherry Grove, Hamilton county, and Jacob, who years ago went to the Pike's Peak country, besides two daughters, one of whom never married but the other married Mr. Gosnecht, whose two children live near Cincinnati. He having died, she again married a man at Seymour, Indiana. This old Napoleonic and Revolutionary veteran lived between the old Samie Wood's farm and Withamsville, where he died about 1850, nearly one hundred years old. The barrel of his old gun, which he carried in the campaigns of Napoleon in Germany and Italy, is in the possession of his son, George, in Batavia township, while the son, Philip, at Cherry Grove, has a paper discharge in French signed by the great Napoleon, testifying to Fishback's brave soldierly qualities, and recounting the many battles in which he participated.
