Dear Lists: The above titled article appears in a local California newspaper, Press-Telegram; page A22. I'm transcribing the article to send to all my lists just in case the scenario would help someone. [Notes & links below] ********************************* "Last survivor of N.Y. factory fire dies at 107" By John Antczak, Associated Press BEVERLY HILLS -- Rose Freedman, last survivor of the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire that killed 146 New York City garment workers in 1911 and spawned industrial safety reforms, died after a brief illness. She was 107. Freddeman died in her sleep at home Thursday after coming down with a cold, Steven Latham, executive producer of PBS' "The Living Century", said Friday. The series featuring centenarians began recently with Freedman's biography. "Hundred-forty-six people in a half hour," Freedman told the program. "I have always tears in my eyes when I think. It should never have happened." Mostly women and girls were killed when fire swept the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. on the eighth, ninth and 10th floors of a Manhattan building on March 25, 1911. Some died at their sewing machines. Others were trapped by a locked door, and many jumped to their deaths. Bodies lay in piles in the streets. "It was horrific," said Richard Strassberg, director of the Kheel Center at Cornell University, which studies the Triangle fire. "These young women were dangling, and jumping out of the windows, and then were on public display in the docks so they could be identified by their families," he said. The fire remains New York City's worst industrial accident, Latham said. New York state appointed a commission that investigated factories and resulted in reform legislation, he said. Born Rose Rosenfeld on March 27, 1893, in Vienna, Freedman came to the United States in 1909 aboard the steamship Mauritania. She quickly went to work. Freedman told "The Living Century" she worked on the ninth floor at Triangle. "One day on Saturday, we smelled - we were almost ready to leave - we smelled smoke," she said. [There's a colored photo of Rose Freedman holding a bouquet of flowers with the caption: "Rose Freedman, seen in 2000, died Thursday in Beverly Hills.

Elaborate preparations are being made to make this Holiday Festival on of the most interesting ever held in London. Father Cusack is much pleased with the evidences of generosity he has met on every hand from Catholics and non-Catholics alike, as all whom he has asked to contribute towards the Festival have responded with a right good will and generosity. Michael Riley has donated a magnificent watch, Elgin works, in a heavy gold case, which will be voted to one of six of the popular young men of the parish.

The family of John Law and his wife Hopy Clemens Law allegedly lived in Madison County between 1800 and 1840. Several of their children were said to have been born there. Does anyone know anything about this family? I would greatly appreciate any information . Jessie, Calif.

Hello My name is Terry Littleton and I sponsor the [email protected] newsgroup. I have recently tracked several LITTLETONs to Madison Co. in the early to mid 1800's. Living down in SW Florida, it is hard for me to get info from OH. I was hoping that someone on this newsgroup that lives in Madison Co or has access to the records could provide me with some help. There were only a couple Littleton families in Madison Co so it wouldn't be a big job. Does Madison Co have birth, death and marriage indices like Hardin and Clark Co do? If anyone has access to these type records, I'd sure appreciate whatever data exists on the LITTLETONs. Anything that will show links of parents and children, obits, cemetery records, etc. Many thinks in advance for any help you can provide. Terry Littleton
