Hi Kathie, There is a log of births for 1868 through 1938 (not sure about the end date). Not every birth was recorded, but some were. The log is at the Briggs Library in Ironton in the genealogy section. Perhaps someone can do a lookup for you to see if your grandparents would have their births recorded. As a side note, my grandmother was born in 1898 in Lawrence County, and her birth was not recorded then. She needed a birth record when she was going to go to work during WWII, and found that her birth had never been recorded. She had a "delayed birth record" issued, which was a statement from the parents or two near relatives testifying to her birth. My grandmother's mother had died just two years after my grandmother was born, so my grandmother's father and aunt signed the paper. It was issued in 1942. I believe that there is a collection of delayed birth records for Lawrence County somewhere at Briggs Library as well. I hope that you can find those records easily. - Jean Griesan Colorado -----Original Message----- From: Gary and Kathie Evans [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 7:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OHLAWREN] Birth records for 1899 Could someone tell me where I can find the birth records for 1899?

Gossett? Hi! Here's the story of the Rome Beauty Apple. In readying his new home in Lawrence County, Joel Gillet decided to have an apple orchard on his property. He brought about 200 grafted fruit trees from General Rufus Putnam of the Putnam Nursery near Marietta with him during the move. In early May of 1817, he was ready to set out the orchard. There was one seedling that was smaller and different from the others. He gave that one to his 14 year-old son, Alanson, and told him, "Here's a Democrat. You may have this one." (Joel Gillet was a staunch Whig at the time.) Young Alanson planted his seedling down by the river in a corner of the fence. A few years later, Alanson's tree was producing such nice fruit that people began to take notice of "Gillette's Seedling." The fruit was red and juicy and tasted sweet, and the apples were clustered together like grapes. Horatio Nelson "H.N." Gillett, a cousin of Alanson's, was the first person to take a graft of Alanson's apple tree. Other farmers also began to take grafts of the tree. H.N. Gillett started a nursery and began to promote this new apple. In about 1830, a neighbor, George Walton, named the apple the "Rome Beauty" apple in honor of Rome Township and the fine appearance of the fruit. After this, most of the orchards in southern Ohio contained mostly the Rome Beauty apple. The original tree lived 40 years on a sandy knoll in a corner of a field near the Ohio River. It stood until the river bank caved in during a flood in 1856. One of Alanson's cousins moved to Oregon in the 1860s and took seedlings of the Rome Beauty trees, thereby making the apple available and popular in the West. The Rome Beauty apple continued to be marketed by local Lawrence County farmers. Through much of the late 1800s, the Rome Beauty was considered one of the most important apples grown in the area. In my understanding, the Rome Beauties may have been the apples shipped to the soldiers during World War I. The Rome Beauty is still considered to be one of the best cooking apples. I recently read an article that stated that the ones grown and sold in Ohio are nice and firm. I have to say that the ones that I can get in the stores in Colorado are not very firm, and I have no idea of where they are grown. I descend from Joel Gillet through his oldest daughter, Chloe (Gillett) Gardner. At least five generations of this family (Gillet, Gardner, and Cox) have grown Rome Beauty Apples in Lawrence County. - Jean Griesan Colorado [email protected] ==== OHLAWREN Mailing List ==== To be removed from this list send the word "unsubscribe", as both subject and in body of message, to the list format your receive: [email protected] or [email protected] ============================== Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more.

> I have to say that the ones that I can get in > the stores in Colorado are not very firm, and > I have no idea of where they > are grown. Hi Jean, Make sure you're getting the Rome Beauty and NOT the Red Rome. They're two different apples. I live in Gallia County and have studied in depth Civil War era fruits and vegetables. In 1857 the Ohio Agricultural book listed the Rome Beauty as one of the "six best winter apples in Gallia County," along with Thomas Jefferson's favorite the Spitzenburg Esopus, and four others. It is one of the best trees for the red clay soil that we have around here. Unfortunately, I contacted some of the Gillet family back when I was looking to purchase a young tree, and they had none available -- I had to order mine from California, and for some reason my three different Rome Beauties passed away before they matured enough to bear fruit. I've given up on growing it myself, but I do look for the fruit in stores and in roadside stands. The Rome Beauty is a beautiful apple to be cut in eighths and fried up along with pork in a little bit of garlic and cinnamon. It's also wonderful for just about anything from the table to the oven -- GREAT apple! A special thanks to Lawrence County for such a wonderful product! :-) Linda Trent [email protected]
