Fellow Researchers, Everyone knows we cannot separate genealogy & local history. We just returned from the monthly meeting of the BRHS. BTW, please take a look at their new and improved webpage at http://www.loraincityhistory.org (the photo index link wasn't working) The featured speaker at this evenings meeting was John Handyside, the executive director of the Lorain Palace Civic Center since 1977. He recapped the history of the Palace Theater, & ongoing restoration. John is very interested in accumulating stories of peoples memories that surround the Palace. If you or family member ever worked there, performed there or attended a very special performance there, he would like to hear about it. Maybe an older family member has a memory or two. So if you have a story or memory to share, please just mailto:nmmeyers@centurytel.net I told John Handyside that I would put the word out on this list & then would forward any "stories" to him. Please include your name, address & email so that John can contact you if he wishes. Do you want to refresh your own knowledge and memory of the Palace? Just take a visit to http://www.centurytel.net/palace/history.htm Nancy M.

On the Lorain city history site, there is a listing of businesses of 1878; in the list is a Henry SHORT, as involved in Meats. Can anyone help me figure out how to get more particulars about that Henry? I have two Henry Shorts in my line: Henry Sr., who I know very little about but guess was born 1830s or so, married to Anna Elizabeth MILLER, b. 1834. Then their son, Henry Jr. b. 1857, married to Augusta WARDESKA abt late 1880's. So I'm trying to figure out if the Henry SHORT listed for Lorain fits either of my Henrys.
