My maternal ggrandfather's brother, Pat SLAYMAN, passsed away on June 20, 1886 in Cambridge. I'm searching for an obit for him. Was there a paper in Cambridge, or Guernsey County at that particular time? Joe Burt

Yes, the newspaper of the era is the The Cambridge Jeffersonian . And, there are deaths recorded for members of the Slayman family in the County Death Records, all in Book Two: Slayman, Margaret, pg 66 Slayman, Michael, pg 109 Slayman, Patrick, pg 9 This info available due to the work of Betty Stillion Shinn, http://bettyshinn.com/Default.aspx It's possible to get obit look-ups by the Guernsey County Library's Genealogy Librarian, at <fordsh@oplin.org> Happy hunting!

Terry: Reading your obituary transcriptions is really great. I know that they get posted to the RootsWeb archive, but wonder why you're not also submitting them to the Guernsey County GenWeb site, as well. The link is http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/obits/ Seems to me it would be a lot easier for someone searching Guernsey Co families to look them up there. Thanks for your hard work!

The date range is 1800-1830. He was supposedly born in Ohio in 1801, Anna in Virginia in 1804. They settled in 1826, having moved to Wills Creek, Thompson's Riffle from eastern Virginia. All from Sarchet's Biography of Guernsey County, Ohio and a DAR application. Such as it is, this is all I have. Thank you - whatever happens.

I couldn't find anything at all on any of them. I searched the entire states (Ohio/Virginia) and all names you gave (her married and maiden names, her dad and her hubby) covering all dates. I'd suggest joining here http://groups.msn.com/CambridgeJeffersonian1878-1906 (those are no longer the only dates they'll search) and asking the owners to do a more in depth search. newspaperarchive doesn't have all papers.

Funeral services conducted in the Birds Run Baptist Church by Rev. Thomas. Mrs. Willson had been a consistent member of the Baptist church ever since she was thirteen years old, having united with the Brisly Fork Baptist Church in Madison township. She was united in marriage in 1844, who preceded her to the better world eighteen years ago. To this union was born seven children. Those living are; Henry Willson of Birds Run; Thomas of Canal Dover; Edward of Cambridge; Martha and Mitchell of Adams Township; Rachel Goodie of Afton, Iowa. All were present at the funeral except Rachel Goodie. She was borne to the tomb by her six grandsons, caring their dear old grandmother to her last resting place in the clay. We are pleased to know that her old age was spent in quiet retirement; free form the cares and anxieties of life; that a useful career was crowned by a happy and contented end; at the extreme age which she attained her death could not have been unexpected. We did not realize how dearly we loved her. Darling mother, thou hast left us here, Thy loss we deeply feel But it's God that has bereft us: He can all our sorrows heal.

An old transcription of the grave stones in Cumberland Cemetery shows the grave of MARGARET STEVENS, 1763-1859. It is apparently close to the grave of her daughter, SUSANNAH STRAHL. I visited this cemetery about 10 years ago, but could not find the Margaret Stevens marker though a big thunderstorm struck about half way through my search and I had to give up. The grave marker may have fallen down to become illegible since 1963 when the markers were transcribed? Nevertheless, if anyone who follows this list should happen to visit Cumberland Cemetery could they keep an eye out for Margaret? It would be much appreciated.
