There may or may not be multiple entries for the surnames with no parentheses, but there is only one entry for the surname in parentheses where it appears in the listing -- probably out of order.

Lucie, From what I can gather at http://ech.cwru.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=HHHFC Woodland Hills is a neighborhood in Cleveland near East. 79. At one time there was a hospital there called Health Hill. "Incorporated in 1895 as the Children's Fresh Air Camp & Hospital, it was the result of HIRAM ADDISON'S† desire to provide a healthy environment for ill children and their mothers. The hospital was built on land in Woodland Hills donated by Jacob Perkins. Originally, it provided only convalescent care and dietary treatment for children." This seems to fit in with your letter from Henry Wahl to Anton Rueth. It may have been where Anton's wife and children stayed while she was recuperating or perhaps she and the children shared the same affliction. The first major change in the design of Cleveland hospitals came with the construction of Lakeside Hospital (see UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF CLEVELAND). Like many hospitals in the city, Lakeside began its institutional life in a private residence converted to accommodate patient beds. Between 1876-96, Lakeside occupied the U.S. Marine Hospital; it was finally compelled to erect a new building upon expiration of its lease. In 1891 and 1895, trustees visited major hospitals in metropolitan centers east of the Mississippi and subsequently adopted a pavilion or "cottage" plan modeled on Johns Hopkins Hospital (1885) in Baltimore, then the most respected teaching hospital in America. The pavilion plan of the new Lakeside Hospital, located at E. 12th St. and Lakeside Ave., offered the ventilation and drainage deemed essential for proper SANITATION. Central administrative, kitchen, and laundry services were housed in separate buildings connected to wards, surgical buildings, and dispensary and nurses' quarters by long corridors. The only structure that stood apart from the whole was the "autopsy building," which accommodated pathology and clinical microscopy laboratories after 1901. The overall layout of the hospital was dictated by the new appreciation of the role that germs played in disease, with isolation and ventilation the most important features of any hospital plan.

Bob or Barb, I am wondering, what is Woodland Hills? I know that Anton had to put his girls in there for a while, what exactly is it? a poor house, an orphanage? also is Lakeside Hospital still around? also regarding St. Edward's Church..is it still in existence & what denomination is it?

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'm very curious about two of the listings in the Cleveland City Directory... 1) Gidings 2) Canfield (and Spencer) Would you be so kind as to look them up? Thank you! Best regards, Sharon ~ Fairview Park

The site Distant Cousins has a city directory for Cleveland on line. year 1900

I am new to this list. I am wondering if there is a site for Directories of a later date? like the early years of 1900? thank you for any info. you can give me. I had Schmitt-Schmidt their. Thanks Bonnie I use to live their my self in the late 1980's. Mathias - & Jacob were the first names.

Thanks so much!

Since the web site Eliz provided has more information than my list of surnames, I will stop sending the surnames list now. Web page... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jrbakerjr/cleveland/cleveland.htm If anybody wants a lookup, though, I will be glad to look in my copy for the surname they seek.

Interesting information that I did not know before.... found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jrbakerjr/cleveland/cleveland.htm Note: At this time Cleveland was on the east side of the Cuyahoga River only. The city on the west side was called Ohio City and had a separate directory.

You requested information on the Beebee family from the city directory.... Allen Beebee and Company, ship chandlers and wholesale grocers, 27, 29, and 31 Merwin St. E. W. Fargo was a clerk for them George W. Beebee, dry goods merchant, Detroit St. r. Hanover St. c. Church St.

I temporarily have access to a copy of the pages of this book. Does anyone want a lookup? A Directory of the cities of Cleveland & Ohio, for the years 1837-38 : comprising historical and descriptive sketches of each place, an alphabetical list of inhabitants, their business and residence, a list of the municipal officers, every information relative to the public offices and officers, churches, associations and institutions, shipping, steamboats, stages, &c. : also, a list of the officers of the government of Ohio, a table of foreign coins and currencies, and a variety of other useful information Cleveland: Sanford & Lott, book & job printers, 1837, 186 pgs.

Does anyone know if the records for this cemtery are kept at the church? My great-great grandparents are buried there. I walked the cemetery and couldn't find them. I could have missed them but I would be much happier if I had an idea of the location rather than walk the whole cemetery again. It is a very small cemetery but the uneven ground is very bad on my back. Ceal

Bob, If memory serves the number is 9328, but I won't swear to it. You can contact the Garfield Heights Historical Society; ask for Laria, she will be able to give you the exact number and the present owner's name. I have a picture if you'd like it. Contact me off list. BTW we know the NIGHTINGALES changed their surname from NACHTIGAL during WWI when many German families did the same. The family was of German/Swiss origin and came to the Cleveland area from West Virginia in the late 1800s.

Amburgey" <b.amburgey@worldnet.att.net> wrote:Hello, I am researching descendants of Philipp Daniel Stark and Margaretha Ludwig of Newburgh Township. I have over 900 descendants to date. The family was from Bobstadt, Hesse-Darmstadt. At our most recent reunion we discovered a letter from Philipp's son Charles written in beautiful S�tterlin script in the local dialect of Hesse from a Union Camp in 1865. Phillip and Margaretha had five children: Charles (Karl Ludwig), Valentine, Philipp Jr, Elizabeth and Clara. Clara's family emigrated to Orrville, Ohio but the remainder lived in the Cleveland area all their adult lives and many descendants still live in Cuyahoga county today. Surnames associated with the STARKS are: NIGHTINGALE SCHWARTZ M�ller or MILLER BEESER MESSENGER BAER or BAIR Many of the family attended St. John's German Lutheran Church in Garfield Heights and Valentine Stark's home is a centennial home on Granger Road. I also would like to say hello to Lucie Flowers, Bob Jerin, and John Carroll who are on this list.
