Yes it was Tony's diner-Sorry to hear it is gone. I am in CA winters and rarely get to that part of town when home for the summer. Mary

Does anyone have the index for the Wellington Cem.? I am trying to locate the burial place of a forefather named Eunice Irish Moore. She died before 1870. She is not buried with her husband. I believe her brother is Andrew Jackson Irish. He is buried in Wellington. Can anyone tell me the names of the people buried around him? I believe their parents are Nathan and Almira Powers Irish. I am also looking for where they are buried. They may have lived in Carlisle. Thanks. Jackie

There's a section on Elyria ladies in this 1879 article...

Hi Mike, Good luck on your diner search! Do you recall the name of the diner in Wellington and where it is located? My 87-year-old mother grew up there. How was it different from any diner you had seen before? Cathy Martin ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I have a picture of the "Independent Club Lorain OH 1926" Has anyone ever heard of this. It is a picture of 11 ladies sitting around a set table, including my grandmother Edith EDWARDS SCHUBERT and great grandmother Orpha CASTEEL EDWARDS. Thank you for your time. Sandy B.

That was Tony's Diner & it's been gone a couple of years now. It's up at the Sandusky Airport...will most likely be set up as a big promotion item for that airport in the near future, if it's not already in business.

Hello again, I talked with Steve Harwin (the guy who saves/restores/sells diners in the Cleveland area) and he said this diner is now in Port Huron, MI awaiting its fate. I guess it was known as either Tony's or Zeb's mattering who you talk to. Thanks for everyone's comments!!!! BTW. I hear Ruthie and Moe's Diner in downtown Cleveland is a neat place. 4002 Prospect Avenue Mike engle >From: MMBoehn@aol.com >Reply-To: OHLORAIN-L@rootsweb.com >To: OHLORAIN-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [OHLORAIN] Diners in OH >Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 22:25:49 EST > >there still is a diner at West 117th and Lorain Avenue in Cleveland.

there still is a diner at West 117th and Lorain Avenue in Cleveland. A lot of Cleveland mayors used to eat breakfast there to mix with locals. Don't know its name. Mary

Nancy, I do not know exactly what is a Gedcom so have not done such a thing. I have much on my ancestors, some I have proof of and many I have to send for proof for. So you see I have my work cut out for me for ? months or so.

Steve Harwin - is a Northeast-Ohioan who buys, sells and restores full-size diners. You can get more info on him from WVIZ also. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH Genealogy Lookup Volunteer http://www.centurytel.net/lorgen

Almost forgot, when I lived in Ridgeville, there was a Diner on Center Ridge Rd. Jeff Sigsworth of the NRHS knows more a lot about that. I am sure he will read this. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH

Mike, the Diner researcher, Used to be a great little diner at 110 East Ave in Elyria , last known name was the Blue & White Diner, Before that it was Marion's Diner, it was Marion's as early as 1952. Do not know the year it was moved there. Another Diner in Wellington on Railroad St. ( just one block long) do not remember it name. A senior moment but someone on this list will remember the name I am sure. There was a big write up on it at one time in the weekly Wellington Enterprise. Have eaten at both many times thru the years. The clientele was usually their "regulars", not too often any folks passing thru. Contact WVIZ Channel 25, a PBS station for a lot of info on the history of OH & PA Diners. They have aired a program on the historical aspect of Diners and had it available as a premium gift for new members supporters. We have seen it three times. Click on their website and you can email for more info about it. http://www.wviz.org/ Nancy M.

Hello, I am doing research on diners/lunch wagons. My research has brought me to Silver Creek, NY(Ward & Dickinson dining car co) which in turn has brought me to focus on Ohio. They sent many of their diners to Ohio. Some Diner builders in Ohio: Galion dining car co. of Galion, OH and the (Earl Richardson)Rich dining car co. of Dayton, OH, both of these Ohio companies were probably short lived ventures in the 1920's. What I am looking for is any information on past diners in Ohio or these companies(Maybe your relatives worked at/owned these diners or companies) and also, leads on any diners that existed(past or present) in Ohio, as I am only aware of about 10-15 diners in the state. For example, a friend of mine JUST recently heard about a diner in Wellington, OH that has been there since probably 1925. Not only do they have a good breakfast(had to drive out there from eastern NY to check it out!) but it's a type of diner we've never seen before. Since I'm doing my research from a mostly historical standpoint, if you remember a diner "a long time ago" in a certain location, please let me know.

I have had this happen also. A woman contacted me about a line of mine (Gunn). It turns out her father was 60 years old when she was born. When he died her family had his age as being 93 years old. When we made contact I corrected the age of her father as being 87 at the time of his death. I also sent her other information that she did not know about, such as her father other two marriages and about her grand-mothers two marriage and her grand-fathers three marriage. So a year later when a local history book came out for the area her mother grew up in, there was all the information I gave her. Of course, she listed herself as the person who contributed the information. But last year I made contact with a woman in California about the family of Jacob Shupe. Jacob and family were the first settlers in Amherst. After we exchanged information she posted it on one of those websites. She was very kind to credit me for my part of the information. So both these families, the Gunn family and Shupe family, have a rich history in Amherst and Black River Township. In fact, they are the reason I continue to read this "Digest" every day.

Jeff Cole, I had some relatives by the Name Cole. Two Brothers George and Leon. Leon live on the Lorain Roads in North Olmstead and his brother lived on the road that ran from North Olmsted to US 20. I think it was Bagley road. In the 1930 they worked at The General Industries in Elyria. Leon passed away about 4 years ago at the age of 96 and I think is interned in Ridgeville at Saint Peters Cemetery. I was wondering if they were related to the Cole line you are researching.

The originial name for Columbia Township in Lorain County was Copopa. The first settler came to Columbia Township in 1807. It was the first settlement west of the Cuyahoga River. It is called Called Columbia Station because another Ohio community is named Columbia. Hope this answers your question. Yes there is a cemetery still on the curve on Neff Road. Curt Broschk of Columbia Station

To the parties checking the eastern co. cemetaries. I have the Litchfield History book. It lists all the burials at Litchfield. I would be happy to do a lookup. Duane

I share a gedcom on Ancestry without my notes, but with my sources, so that anyone can see exactly where I got the various pieces of information, and thus judge whether they think what they find of value. I am glad to let people use this material, but I hope that if they do, they keep the sources. Like some of the rest of you, I have begun just sending family group sheets with notes and sources and some pedigree charts. I send these in PDF format, so people have to make an effort to type into their databases what they take from what I send. I find it annoying at times that a few people want all kinds of details from me, but do not want to share much of anything in return, or put any effort into learning how to research. Some of them do not even write to say thank you. What annoys me most, however, is when people have obviously incorrect material that they have collected from "heaven only knows where" that when presented with corrections, ignore the more accurate information. I do think the people who only "collect" miss the fun of finding the missing pieces of the puzzle in that musty court house, historical society, small town cemetery, etc. Margaret Scheffler

I have run into the same problem. In the "old days", we would send out family group sheets and often a pedigree chart to those with whom we were exchanging information and trying to connect. Now these are popping up on World Family Tree discs and all kinds of other unexpected places with errors galore! Many of us who have been interested in genealogy for quite some time have really obtained information the hard way, by looking at ROLLS and ROLLS of microfilm and searching in libraries, etc. Before the Internet, it wasn't uncommon to write 100 letters a year, all with SASEs. I still love research and libraries and hope that if and when I (ever)get things organized that those who are interested will have to at least go to a library to find the information. It's nice to share information and be helpful but one certainly doesn't have to send everything they have ever found.

Every day I find more and more of the research that I have done on my family lines posted on the "net" somewhere, and often reproduced with errors. When I share data with "cousins", I very clearly tell them what it proven and what is only suspected and ask them politely NOT to any post info that has not been proven. Alas, that request falls seems to fall on deaf ears. They simply enter the info into their programs and then make and forward a gedcom along to many others. It then soon appears on the internet somewhere. It even ends up in some publications that people are buying. Simply am unable to contact all the people that are reading it and warn them of the errors. How are some of you researchers handling the same type of problem? It would be good if people learned to edit their gedcoms before they send them on to others. -- Nancy M.
