I was wondering if any of you Miller Family's have a Stephen Miller in your tree from Florence, Ohio. Also a Hugh Miller. I received a book from my sister that has these names in it. They fought in the Canadian Rebellion of 1837 -1838. Let me if you do and I will e-mail you what I have. Leora

I have found a Ezra Sprague in my family tree. He married a Susan Baker. I only know one of the daughters names and that was Gerrrude Maude, and she was born on March 8, 1852. Does anyone have a Ezra Sprague in their family from Erie County around Sand Hill? There is alot of Ezra Sprague's out their but not the one I'm looking for. Thanks, Leora

Hi Everyone, This is a note to let you know that my travel is severely restricted. The good news is that what I have is a bone spur on my knee joint, the bad news is I don't get to see the specialist until Dec 4th. The doc and I have tried all sorts of medication to decrease the pain but it takes me around 3 minutes to go the 20 steps from the computer to my bed. This means my research is restricted to the home and when I can wheedle my husband into taking me out. (Grin)I may have to get my 19yo her Ohio Drivers license so she can cart me around. Hmmm...that sounds dangerous to my mental health! The doc is going to start me on some really strong narcotics for the pain and I may be in and out for a few days. Course you never know as I took two Darvocet last night and manage a sum total of 6 hours sleep. I have been averaging about 3hrs a night. I am just warning you all that I am alright but might disappear for long periods at a time. Maggie !^NavFont02F02F70007NGHHIF87769

Briefly, this is what I have on them in case we connect.... Conrad Hahn b.1828 in Hesse Germany, d 14 April 1915 in Erie County married Elizabeth Orth b.1835 Hesse Germany and d. after 1916 in Erie. They had 6 children - William. Adam, John, Henry, Anna and Theodore. William married Mary Hoffman. They had a son Conrad who married Edna Clara Smith which is how we connect. Adam married Helena (Lena) Dipple. Theodore married Anna Dipple-James. Don't know much about the other children, I have been in touch with the descendants of William. Have just started working on this part of the family tree but would be happy to share what I have. Hope this helps. PS - Didn;t you also psot about Mowry information a few weeks ago ?

Thought since Halloween is here, that this would be enjoyed. As reported in the Erie County Reporter January 23, 1890 Trainmen on the Lake Erie & Western railroad, between Findlay and Fostoria are greatly disturbed over what they claim is the ghost of a dead freight conductor, who was killed one night last November, about eight miles east of the former city, by his train breaking into two sections, and then coming together suddenly throwing the conductor from the car on which he was standing to the track below, where he was beheaded by the merciless wheels before the train could be controlled. This accident occurred near the village of Arcadia, at a point where dense woods almost form an arch above the track; and here it is that the ghost of Jimmie Welsh, the mutilated conductor makes its appearance nearly every night, as the midnight passenger train from Sandusky going west reaches the spot where he met his fate on that gloomy, autumnal night less than three months ago. The engineer and other officers of the train assert that scarcely a night passes but what a headless apparition can be seen coming out of these woods, as the train nears the scene of the accident, carrying in its bloodless hand, something that looks like a lantern, which it waves backward and forward in a measureless sort of a manner as though searching for some lost object. The train men have no sort of doubt but what it is the ghost of Jimmie Welsh, hunting for its lost head. The phantom is plainly visible until the engine with a scream of terror, voicing the feelings of the engineer, endeavors to escape from the horrible sight, then it turns, and walking into the woods slowly fades away into a blue mist. Two crews have already abandoned this road on account of the ghostly vision and have been transferred to other divisions of the road: and the present engineer in charge of the train was so badly frightened one night that it was with great difficulty he was persuaded to remain on his engine until relieved at Lima. He said he would not make the run again for all the money Senator Calvin S. Brice, the president of the road, possessed. The conductor and brakemen on this train confirmed the engineer's story and said they saw the ghost nearly every night, always seemingly engaged in the hopeless task of hunting for its head. On bright moonlight nights the apparition is not so plainly outlined as when the nights are dark and rainy, as has been the rule the past month. On such occasions the phantom conductor comes out clear and distinct having all the resemblance of a man minus his head, while the lantern in his hand gives out a fitful, uncanny sort of illumination that freezes the blood in the veins of the boldest railroader on the line. No other train is annoyed by this ghostly form, but this is explained by the fact that no other train passes the spot where Jimmie Welsh was killed, at the time of night when he was decapitated by the wheels of his car. The mater has thoroughly alarmed the employees of the road, and unless the spirit of the dead conductor is appeased in some way it will be difficult to get men to make the midnight run between Sandusky and Lima.
