Joyce, Thank you so much for the information on the Marine Hospital. I have indexed over 1200 men who were patients at the hospital between 1983-1917. I am indexing them by man, riverboat, and captain. This should give us a good idea of what our river system was like. Each of these forms gives the man's name , age, home area, port of the riverboat, and the captain of the boat. It also gives us the color of hair, color of eyes, complexion, height and weight. It gives us a mental picture of what the man looks like. Once the index is done, people can order the form and be able to use this as a part of their ancestor's story. Any and all information is a help. Cheryl Enyart Citizens of Gallipolis are considerably agitated on account of the efforts of Congressman Hogg, of W. Va., to have the Marine Hospital taken from the former place and established at Point Pleasant. Be Well, Do Good Work , Keep In Touch --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Listers, I would like to encourage those of you who would like to join one of the Lineage Societies that we at the Gallia County Genealogical Society are willing and able to help you search for information that will help you to file your application. I am really excited about the Settlers and Builders. Here is an opportunity for those of us who are not able to solidly prove an certain ancestor here by 1820. I know that I have several on my paternal side that I can prove solidly that they were here in 1830, and suspicion early existence but not able to prove. Now I will be able to at least register them as Gallia County Settlers and Builders. Mary Lee Davis Marchi , Marjorie Wood and myself are very willing to help you in anyway we can. You can email us personally , or you may call-740-446-7200, or write us 412 Second Avenue , Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 or email us at histsoc@zoomnet.net.

Athens Messenger February 16, 1888 Citizens of Gallipolis are considerably agitated on account of the efforts of Congressman Hogg, of W. Va., to have the Marine Hospital taken from the former place and established at Point Pleasant. Joyce, Have you seen any other articles about this . I am researching the Marine Hospital at Gallipolis, from 1883 to 1917. I am preparing a book to publish with the records of all the rivermen that had been treated during those years. I would really like to have more history. I will check the Gallipolis papers at this time and see what I can find.

Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger February 16, 1888 GALLIA The December tax on the saloons of Gallia county amounted to $2,650 on the total number, twenty-nine. Twenty-six of these are located in Gallipolis, and yield $2,350. Mrs. Isaac Boatman, a very estimable lady of Kyger, Gallia county, recently died. She was about forty-five years of age, and had a wide reputation as a charitable and Christian lady. Citizens of Gallipolis are considerably agitated on account of the efforts of Congressman Hogg, of W. Va., to have the Marine Hospital taken from the former place and established at Point Pleasant. The Gallipolis Journal says: Mr. E. E. Waddell was a constant user of tobacco, chewing and smoking, for 45 years up to last April, when he sawed right off, and has not used any since, and in the meantime has gained fifteen pounds and is much improved physically.
