Was this Gates School that is on Lake Ave? I went there in the 30ths but I didn't think the building was that old. I think the building is now used for the county welfare dept. My mother went to the old School Street School which is a block in back of gates and is on School St. That building was a wooden frame structure. ( I realize that Lake Ave may have a new name.)

Elyria, O., Feb. 7 -- The furnace in the new West Side public school building blew up with terrific force during the noon recess of the school. The northern wall of the main building was blown completely out. Fire immediately started and was only extinguished after much damage had been done. Had the explosion occurred 15 minutes later, when 200 children would have been in the building, a frightful loss of life would have occurred. The loss on the building will be about $7,000.

Hi, I thought you be interested in seeing the updated Ohio Genealogy website. Lots of information! Congratulations to newly elected State Coordinator Sandra Quinn, and Assistant state coordinator Lorraine Newsome. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohgenweb/ (Notice the red!

Does anyone else have trouble reading the Draft registrations on line? I have downloaded the necessary program and I still can not read a thing on Emmett Corby Harris. Any suggestions? I can read other ones sometimes. Thanks, Penny

Despite the foot of snow some of us got this past weekend, it is Spring time in Cleveland. The weather is warming again and the snow will be gone by this weekend for the first of two Spring-Perk Up Saturdays (April 30 and May 7) at East Cleveland Township Cemetery. We would like to invite all of you to some outdoor fun and camaraderie with others who are committed to maintaining one of Cleveland's historical sites. For more information please see the flyers regarding our 2005 events at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohcuycem/2005_calendar_of_events.htm Hope to see you there! Michelle, Kris and Nancy

The Great Lakes Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists is sponsoring an Advanced Genealogy Discussion Group. The next meeting is on Saturday, May 21, 2005. The purpose of the group is to discuss advanced genealogical methodology as presented in case studies that have appeared in various scholarly genealogical publications. The group meets the third Saturday of the month, starting at 10:00 am, at one of the Akron-Summit County Public Library meeting rooms. The library is located at 60 South High St., Akron, OH. The meetings last about one and one-half hours. The discussions are free but pre-registration is required. Any experienced genealogical researcher is welcome to enroll. As a pre-requisite, participants should be familiar with Dr. William M. Litchman's article, "Teaching Analysis, Logic, and the Research Process: A Seminar Approach", from the NGS News Magazine, Nov/Dec 2000, pages 340-343. Each participant is requested to read several times, in advance of the meeting, the article to be discussed at the meeting. The article chosen for the May 21, 2005 discussion appeared in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, September 1992. It is titled "Howells of Muskingum County, Ohio: Correlating and Interpreting Evidence to Reconstruct a Family" beginning on page 194. To register, or for any questions, contact Donna Gruber at [email protected] or call (419) 846-3533.

It is worth noting that many of these newspapers are Pioneer Press published papers. You can access their newspapers free at: www.pioneerlocal.com and if you know the community you are searching in, you select the newspaper from a drop down menu. Once you get to that newspaper, you can do searches on keywords, or specifically search just the obituaries, etc. I noticed that for the Oak Leaves it goes back to 1996, it seems to vary, depending on the newspaper.

Margaret was nice enough to get some papers from the probate court for me and I'm wondering if anyone can explain something to me. What exactly is a guardian's bond, and why would the guardians listed have to pay to the State of Ohio a "penal sum of $3,000" (a lot of money those days). Leslie LaCount, Minneapo.lis

There is also a Foote Glass company in Medina, OH on RT 42 - West side of street just before Fenn Road -- or Hamilton. Alice

I have forwarded this message to someone that I'm sure is this Robert Hardy's family. Lives in Norwalk so there is a good possibility this is the correct person. Lois Baker Rochester Twp.

Jane, There is a "Lillian Marsh" on the Marsh family grave-marker next to Charles in the Butternut Ridge Cemetery in North Eaton; they were about the same age. I'll try to find out more about her and let you know if she was his wife. I'm going to try to go to Elyria and research this family in local newspapers this weekend...but if the weather is really nice I may elect to go trail-riding instead (!) Either way, I'll get over there soon.
