I am saddened by the death of dear Harry Painter. A more faithful and dedicated person you could never met. Harry and his wife Dorothy have contributed so much over the years to the field of genealogy & local history of LC. Harry was a charter member & lifetime member of the Lorain County Chapter of OGS as is his wife Dorothy. I had have known them since 1963, when Dorothy & I worked together in the NR Girl Scout program. I personally considered the Painter's to be the experts on North Ridgeville history & genealogy, next to Jeff Sigsworth that is. Last week, on Nov. 26th, another charter member of the LC Chapter of OGS passed away. Shirley Oney, her Nov.27th obituary is at: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=2692334&BRD=1699&PAG=461&dept_id=46369&rfi=8 Shirley was the 19th person inducted into the First Families of Lorain County. She had proven, in 1985, that her CRAPO ancestors were residents of Brighton Twp. by 1850. Each day is a gift to us, folks, so remember to open yours, gently of course. -- Nancy M. Meyers, Lorain OH
