I don't know if this helps. I have a death certificate for an Eldora Cole b. June 9, 1893 d. March 25, 1909. Her parents were Joseph Cole and Sarah J. Hardsock. The "personal particulars" [don't you just love that phrase?] was given by Sarah Cole of Means, Ohio. Brian L. Cole Researching Coles from England to MD to OH

I recently did some research in Ohio and am now trying to put together some of the things my brother copied for me. I told him to copy every page with the name Cole on it. Well, he did and now I have some Coles that at this point aren't connected to me. I wanted to lay them out to you in hopes that they will help someone. Maybe I'll find that they are related. The first is from an obituary for Essie Graham. "Essie Cordelia Hite Graham, 88, of Virginia St., Hopedale, died Oct 8, 1980...she was born Aug. 10, 1892, in Sand Run, Ohio, a daughter of Henry and Cordelia Pettit Hite...She was preceded in death by her husband, Guy Graham in 1964, son, Robert Graham, and seven sisters. Surviving are five sons...; seven daughters, Mrs. Donald (Genevieve) Cole..." If this is your Graham and this information is new to you, let me know and I will send you the entire obituary and source details. If you are following the Coles and have a Donald Cole, I'd be happy to send this information as well. I'd also like to get some background and see if there is a connection. I will submit more as I have the time. Brian L. Cole Researching Coles from England to MD to OH

Pg. 26 At one time Jewett had three dentists. Early in the 1890's, George and Edward Polen had an office in the "United States House", the Thomas Ramsour Hotel on the south west corner of Main and Cadiz Street. Office hours were three days a week. Dr. James Bowels, a dentist here for a number of years, resided on East Main Street where Mrs. Frances Williamson now lives. Dr. Harper, a dentist, also lived in Jewett for a short time. Dr. Frank Dennis came to Jewett in 1914 or 1915. His office was over the Jewett Bank. Later he moved it to his residence, where he retired from dental practice in the early thirties. Dr. Carpenter was a dentist here for a number of years. Dr. Cochran practiced dentistry in this town for a brief period of the middle thirties. His office was over Rose's Meat Market, which is now owned by Robert Hirschbach. The front part is used for bicentennial displays now.

The office was located in the Pennsylvnia Station. When first established, the station master acted as Postmaster but as the community grew in importance as a shipping point, his position required his full time. During the years the post office was at the Pennsylvania Station (1860-1874), the Postmasters and terms served were as follows: B.P.Scott, 1860-1863; James Aiken, 1863-1867; Phillip Jolley, 1867-1879 {sic}; and George Wirt, 1870-1874. When Dr. McGuire was appointed Postmaster during 1874-1878, he moved the office to Main Street located on the lot west of the McKee Store. During the years 1878-1910, the post Office was located on the corner of Main and Center Street except for the period 1888-1892 wehn Dr. W.L. England moved the office back to the lot west of the McKee building where it remained until June 1, 1963 when it whas moved to the newly built colonial -style office on the nor! thwest corner of Main and Center Streets. After the Post Office was moved from the Pennsylvanis Station, the following served as Postmasters: H.B. Winnings, 1878-1884; A.Q. Arbaugh, 1884-1888; Dr. W.L. England, 1888-1892; A.Q. Arbaugh, 1892-1896; and J.C. McMannis, 1896-1915. On October 1, 1902, the Post Office Department established three rural routes as Jewett. Appointed to serve these routes were Paul Sawvel, Route 1; J. Lee Mikesell, Route 2; and H.E. Thompson, Route 3. In 1915 A.Q. Arbaugh was appointed to a third term as Postmaster (1915-1924), R.F. Thompson (1924-1933), O.B. Stahl (1933-1965). Walter D. Thompson served as Acting Postmaster until Joseph Conner was named Postmaster in 1969. He served until his death in the winter of 1976. Walter D. Thompson was appointed Acting Postmaster and is serving in that capacity at the present time. {ca.1976} What do the initials stand for; what were the Postmasters' full names?

I read all the messages that come through this page in case someone is researching in my line. I am going to visit the Jewett cemetery sometime after the Labor Day weekend and will be happy to research surnames and take pictures. I am searching that area for Hoffee, Littleton. Put your message on the page and if I am successful, I will get back to you. Virginia West - [email protected]

Kathy, I don't know if this is who you are looking for, but I have a William HINES b.1825, son of Isaac HINES [1788 - 10 Jun 1865] and Sarah PATTERSON. His siblings: Isaac, Jr.[1801]; Elizabeth [1817 m. David F. COPE]; Martha [1818]; Sarah J.; and J.R. If you or anyone has corrections or additions to this family - I'd appreciate the update. Gary Flynn

"Historical Collections of Harrison County" has information on the Hines. What age is the William you are trying to identify? There is one born 1800 in MD who married Isabella Hitchcock. There is another I find on worldconnect born in the 1780's who married a Sarah. Robin Taylor

Can someone help me sort out William Hines? The name appears on census abstractions from 1830-1850, and I am trying to find the correct one.

I had the privilege of attending a one room school during the seventh and eighth grades. I was the only student in those years that I attended. Hence, I was the smartest (and dumbest) student in my class. :-) The teacher was Mrs. Olive Vehre. The school was one of the last one room schools in the area. Eight classes were all held in the one large room. It was heated with a goal burning heating stove in the center of the room with the smoke pipe groping its way to the chimney in the center of the roof. Each class had its own small "area" or "pod" as they are called in some schools today. We did not have electricity. There were no dividing screens, no indoor rest rooms, and no running water. (We took turns carrying drinking water from the neighbor's pump.) We each had to bring our own drinking cup or glass. We had no janitor except the teacher and ourselves. We also took turns bringing in coal from the small "coal house" next to the school building and carrying out the ashes. The same was true with keeping the school swept clean, etc. Occasionally, when we had a "cake walk" or some other community event, everyone had to bring his/her lanterns or oil lamps so there would be enough light. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of a photograph of the school, I would appreciate having one. Shortly after I moved from the area, the school closed and was turned into a saloon. It was during that time that the school was totally destroyed by fire. There were several abandoned "coal company houses" at the far end of the property that were gradually vandalized and no longer exist. Any help would be appreciated! Ed Durbin
