Randi, I tried to find something at the Strickland site you mentioned. I can't get in to find anything. Do I have to fill in that Yahoo agreement to get to what you have posted there? Is there a charge if I do that? Why is that necessary? Tried to find the Barber Ridge pics at the other site but didn't have any luck there either. Did sound like you had a great trip though. I only have one Strickling connection so maybe will just ask you. Eliza E. Strickling b 12 June 1870 Wayne Twp., Monroe Co OH, d/o John w. and Rebecca (Cronin). Married John W. Brown 2 Sep 1888, Monroe Co OH. John was born 3 Jul 1868. I have John's obituary. He died in Ashland, Ohio. I need a death date for Eliza so I can get her obituary too. Are they in your data base? betty -----Original Message----- From: ohmonroe-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ohmonroe-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Randi Meetzen Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 2:48 PM To: ohmonroe@rootsweb.com; ohbelmont@rootsweb.com Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] [OHMONROE] Just returned from Monroe Co Ohio to L.A. -RESEND Hello, Just an update from a "cousin". I recently flew to Ohio and did a mad dash around numerous cemeteries researching my Strickling, Baker, Yoho,Cronin, Tucker etc relatives. I drove the Old National Trail From Columbus Ohio to Washington Co PA. After photgraphing the Tucker M.E. Church and Cemetery,which is on land donated in the late 1700's by my ggggggrandfather John Tucker,We spent the evening in Weirton W. Va. In the morning we set off and traveled the scenic byways through Powhaton Point, Clarington, Woodsfield and onto Barnesville. We took hundreds of pictures along the way and met distant cousins everywhere we went. After having read so many accounts of the adventures of our ancestors over the years, i seemed to "see" them along the banks of the Ohio river fighting the natives who were treed and waiting to spring out at them. I "saw" the women trying to make a comfortable home along the beautiful but rugged landscape, carrying water from the river to cook and clean. There is definitely something to be said for standing in the spot where the ancestors once were and somehow still are. I am posting many of the pictures in several locations. I have put 116 pictures from The Barber Ridge Cemetery, Woodsfield, Monroe Ohio on my blog and will be posting them to FindAgRave.com as well. I am posting specific stones to various surname projects. Here are some links to see the sones. I have just begun but will continue to add over the next week or two.

A young fellow named Kyle was manning the store and after talking to him found that his father was Doug Yoho who had lived there all of his life and I believe he said his grandfather was Robert Yoho. Kyle is researching his Civil War Yoho's as he likes to be involved in reenactment. So I guess this love for family history is being passed along. He had visited the Yoho webpages often and found a lot of helpful info there he said Well then, there you have it. I have pictures to post!
