I am a member of a family organization (Loghry) whose ancestors spent some time in Lorain County (circa 1836). We will be holding a reunion in 2006 and Lorain County has been mentioned as a site. During the reunion family members always like to visit local courthouses/libraries for research purposes. What research facilities are available in Lorain County? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Debbie

The Lorain County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society will meet on Monday, April 11, 2005 at the Oberlin Public Library, 65 S. Main St., Oberlin, Ohio.

This evening on the local news, the news crew were out at the site of this Barn and showed the tombstone and it was beautiful! They also showed one of the hiding places in the house for the runaway slaves. Joyce In Parma, Ohio

Sure would be nice if someone could put some photos of this place online.

List: Anyone know how these people relate to the Pratt's in the Mormon Church, or if they even do? Of course the Mormons were only in the area until about 1838, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are related in some way.

Hello List, Yesterday I received my copy of "Genealogical Computing" and read, "....If one of your relatives seemingly disappeared from the family records, he or she may have been sent away to an institution". Then, I read this morning's post about the grave of little Adele Pratt. Finding two suggestions for alternate sources of grave locations in as many days, I thought it was time to start hunting again for the grave of my Avon ancestor, Weeden (or Weedon, or Weedom) WILCOX. Other WILCOX ancestors are buried in Avon Center (Mounds) Cemetery, but there is no marker for Weeden. Thinking that possibly he may have been in an unmarked grave, I checked with the City of Avon and find that he also is not listed in the burial book. Based on the ages and birth locations of his children, I believe Weeden arrived in Lorain County ca. 1827/1828 and find him in these census records: 1830 Census in Sheffield Township, Lorain County, OH 1840 Census in Avon Township, Lorain County, OH 1850 Census in Avon Township, Lorain County, OH 1860 Avon, Lorain Co., OH Family 539 Levi Lane, 56, Measure Maker, b VT Lucinda Lane, 57, b VT Louisa Lane, 19, b OH ________ Willcox, 73 $300, b RI Caroline Lane, 8/12, b OH I believe this is my ancestor Weeden WILCOX although there is no first name listed. His age and birth location match all other records. This 1860 census entry shows that he had real estate valued at $300. The 1857 Plat map of Lorain County, French Creek (part of Avon), shows W. Wilcox with property on North Ridge Road just west of French Creek Rd. The property is between "J. Lucas Store" and one of the many pieces of property owned by "H. H. Williams". After 1860, Weeden WILCOX is not to be found, and I am fairly confident he did not leave Avon. Some WILCOX left Avon for Fulton County, Ohio in 1860 and I have been able to find many members of that branch of the WILCOX family (even to Alaska). I have two questions for the list: 1. Would it be likely or unlikely Weeden would be buried on his own property considering it appears to have been in the French Creek "business district" ? (The ME Church, a tailor shop, and the Kinney and Burrell Hotel are also near his property.) 2. Is there a source for infirmary records / infirmary cemetery records ? Sorry this turned out to be so long. I appreciate the help/advice. Happy Holiday, Richelle Parma, OH

David, Wonderful story - thanks for sharing. The 1860 census shows her parents as Benjamin and Mitilda Pratt. Maybe Alta was Matilda's nickname. Adelia (as she is called in the 1860 census) is listed as age 1.

They figured wrong. "You don't just cover something like this up and forget about it," Dailey said late Thursday, hours after the astounding discovery of a 142-year-old gravesite belonging to 3-year-old Hattie Adele Pratt, the subject of an Archibald Willard painting, "Blue Girl." Willard, a Bedford native who died in 1918, is more recognizable as the artist who painted the famous "Spirit of '76" portrait.

"It was located about a foot beneath where we dug." Initially, they hit a slat of sandstone and broke it up; as they dug deeper they found marble. "I wiped it off and saw the word 'died,' " Dailey said. "I thought, 'Uh-oh, we've got a body here.' " They uncovered an exquisitely hand-carved marble gravestone, about 20 inches by 12 inches. A small hand holding flowers is carved at the top of the grave marker, with a name underneath: "Hattie Adele." Beneath that, a date: "Died Oct. 21, 1862 . 3 years - 5 mos - 10 days." Dailey immediately called in his wife. "I asked, 'What does the name Hattie Pratt mean to you?'" "That's The Little Blue Girl in Willard's painting," said Marge, his wife. "Well, she's in the barn," he said. Dailey called the Wellington police. "What do you do when you uncover a grave in your backyard?" Dailey said he asked the dispatcher. "I don't know how to answer that question," she said. The dispatcher made a few calls, eventually contacting Matus and the Wellington Historical Society. A small fervor erupted, and today McConaha, Bentley and Dailey and his family are racing to contact an 80-year-old cousin of Hattie Adele who stopped out at the house last July. "He just came by to show his wife where he grew up," Marge said. "We can't remember his name or anything, but we'd like to get in touch with him." As the owners of the property, the Daileys are the legal owners of the gravesite, but they say they're waiting to contact the family before moving further. Matus and members of the Wellington Historical Society will be at the site today to inspect the grave, but Dailey is certain there will be more graves. "There's no way that they would just bury her here by herself," he said. "Her mother and father have to be nearby." In a small barn in Wellington, history is being uncovered, but for the Daileys, today is going to be a long day of digging.

History unearthed IN BARN Story from the Friday, March 25, 2005 Edition of the Chronicle Telegram History unearthed IN BARN Young girl in 1860s portrait found buried near Wellington Shawn Foucher The Chronicle-Telegram HUNTINGTON TWP. — Thursday afternoon beneath the cool, damp clay of a township barn floor, history was unearthed.

Thanks David for the wonderful story you sent along. We have often wondered if our gr.gr.gr. grandparents, Jacob T and Rachel Ames Underhill aren't buried on the Underhill farm in Ruggles Twp., Ashland Co., OH (It was Huron Co. at the time they lived there.). I was fortunate to be able to travel back to OH a few years ago, was directed by Tom Neel to the farm, but didn't go to the door as I was sure the family that lived there wouldn't of known if they were buried there, but we don't find them after 1850, and I have extensive records from later years that have no mention of what happened to them. It would be wonderful if someone did find their graves and had a article published about them. Speaking of the Blue Girl, my Gr.Grandmother, Jennie Gristy Mehl, who was born in 1870 had painted a portrait of the Blue Girl. She must of seen the original or a copy at some point. According to my Grandparents, she was a fabulous painter and could paint from memory, never needing a subject to look at. I saw her painting when I was young, but I don't know where it ended up after my grandparents deaths in 1970.

At one time, there was a discussion of our Lorain County families heading up to Michigan. Here is a wonderful site that will help with research in the Michigan Counties. Gail, Ohio From another list: I'm sure some of you have Michigan connections and if so, a recent site is super wonderful! Almost all (170) of the Michigan county histories are online and you can search names, places, etc. These are digitized copies of the pages which can be printed. The site is: http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/micounty/

Ruth, The courthouse itself is no longer used for public records. Everything is now located at the new Justice Center right across the street, on Court St. There is parking behind the Justice Center with a 5-hour time limit - for the present time. There is also limited on-street parking. Probate Court records are located on the 6th floor. If you are looking for land records, they will be in the Administration Building at the corner of Middle Ave and Third St. There is a parking lot on the corner that you can use. Elyria has one-way streets, so you have to be careful. 2nd Street is mostly one-way going west and 3rd Street is mostly one-way going east. There are motels north of town near the turnpike and Rt 2 intersections. Good luck in your research. Margaret Peter C. Guins & Ruth Weitzel wrote on 3/21/2005, 6:41 AM: > Hi, List.

Hi, List. I'm planning a visit to Elyria for tomorrow, and am wondering if the parking near the courthouse has been taken care of? I believe there was some discussion awhile back that the area around the courthouse had been dug up or something to that effect. This is my first genealogy trip since the death of my cousin and buddy, Marilyn. She was the Ohio native and me the out-of-stater, so it will be strange. Also, could anyone recommend a motel not too far from downtown? Thanks, Ruth

My mother was a Grand Union person for several years. Grand Union had a chain of grocery stores in the East (I remember one in Moravia, NY when we visited relatives) but here in Ohio they had Grand Union routes (My mother covered Medina Co. and the surrounding area). She had a step-van and sold nonperishable food and other items to homes on her route. Jerry

Hi All, I found an obit with Mr. Styer, being on the "Grand Union Tea for 14 years". Can any one tell me what this was? Thanks, Penny

Thanks, Pam, that is what I was looking for. Except I wonder who this Joseph Thomas was. I haven't run across that name in all my research or in all the family stories I have heard.
