was wondering if there was an article on Ellen Hathorn Heinlein's death on 12 23 1889? Thanks

I enjoy your articles. Do you know of any newspapers from the 1890's in the Switzerland region of Monroe County. Between 1890 1nd 1896 My great grandfather David Meeker died and his wife, Elizabeth, remarried to Walker Krider. Somewhere during that time they relocated from Switerland to West Virgina. Because of the Census data being missing and lack of other records my best bet would be newspapers such as the one you have been posting. If anyone can help locate newspapers it would be greatly appreciated.

Hendricks in the household of Henry Hendricks whom I assume to be his son [father?]. On July 11, 1880, a William Hendricks marries Charlotte Cline in Monroe Co., Ohio. In Greenbrier Cemetery in Perry Township I find a William Hendrix b. 10  Nov.1884, age 29 y, 4 m 5 d  s/o of H.B. & C.  I believe this is  the William Hendricks found in 1880 census as Wm G. Hendricks in the 1880 census  was 25 years old and this makes this William the right age.  I believe it  should have been died and not born in 1884. Now in 1900 in Perry Township shows up William Hendricks born March 1854, wed 20 years married to Lotta, born January 1860.  The children of this  William Hendricks are Archibald P., Henry D., Anna B. and Abram J.  In 1910  and 1920 this family is in Springfield City, Jefferson Co., Ohio. Can someone explain to me if we are working with the same William (which I  doubt) and who is the second William who shows up in the same township? Thanks for any help you can give me.  I believe he must have died by  1930 as can't find them after 1920. Jerilyn

I I am researching the CREIGHTON family of Belmont and Monroe Co. who came to these areas in the early days of 1800 Sarah was born in 1801 and supposedly the birth was in PA, I do not now which part of the state. By 1825, she married Joseph MOOSE whose family came there from MD. They lived in Wayne Tp., Monroe Co. and had several children. My line is through Maria who married John Winland. I am trying to track my maternal mtDNA and I need Sarah's parents before i can add another generation. Is anyone researching this family???? Help! Sarah died in 1875 in Monroe Co.
