Thank You Amy. He is my brick wall. Beginning to think they came here by rowboat because I can't get any farther back than him. Have a great day. Helen

Thank you,Helen They were only supposed to record the parents' names if the deceased was a child who died before being named.

These ledgers did *not* include information about the cemetery or the funeral home. Early death records (1867 through December 1908) included name of deceased, date of death, age, marital status, place of death, place of birth, cause, occupation, and parent's name (if it was an unnamed infant, though sometimes you'll luck out and find it listed for an adult). It wasn't until Ohio switched over to death "certificates" as we know them today in December 1908 that they started recording information about place of burial and funeral home.

Hi Michele, The Oakwood Cemetery in Millertown, Ohio is owned, managed and maintained by the City of Corning. Records are kept by the Clerk of the City Council. His name is Don Van Way and he can be reached at: Corning City Council Attn: Don Van Way Corning-Monroe Civic Center Corning, Ohio 43730 I'm sorry I don't know his phone number. Re a "Cemetery on the hill" in the Rendville area, there are at least six in the area that fit that description: Rendville's Scotch Hill, St. Francis/Chapel Hill, Corning Catholic/St. Bernard (recently re-named St. Malachi), Millertown's Oakwood, and two very small ones - Mt. Carmel and Monroe Township # 2. Our Library has fairly complete readings of most of these Cemeteries, but in reviewing those, I could find no record of the burial of Patrick Burns. I presume you are aware of the Perry County Probate Court Death Records which list a Patrick Burns, died 5 Aug. 1900 at age 42 years, 1 day in Rendville. Have you tried contacting them for a copy of his Death Certificate? If available, it may contain information on place of burial or it may indicate the Funeral Home responsible for arrangements. The Court may be contacted at: Perry County Probate Court P.O. Box 167 New Lexington, Ohio 43764 They may also be reached by phone at: (740) 342 - 1493 They will need the name and date of death to locate the Death Record. Their fee for a Death Certificate has been $0.75, but that may have been increased recently. Good luck in your search. If you would like more information on any of the Cemeteries or their burial records, just drop me an e-mail to: Daine Maxwell DCMAX2@aol.com PCC-OGS Internet Coord

I am looking for information on the Reynolds family. There were in the area very early as one child, John Reynolds was born 1808-09. They came from PA. I believe the father was Isaac and the mother, Mary. Geri

My WISEMAN connection is Catherine WISEMAN 1839-1914 She is interred at Zion Ridge Cemetery, Thorn Twp, Perry, OH with her husband. Her parents could possibly be Peter WISEMAN and Mary LANFREE. Catherine WISEMAN married Michael STIMMEL, my g-g-g uncle. Michael was the son of Peter STIMMEL and Margaret Rebecca LUTZ. They had at least 5 children: Henry Allen Stimmel 1868-1934 Peter Michael Stimmel 1871-1941 Sarah C Stimmel 1873- John F Stimmel 1877- Ida E Stimmel 1879- This is about the extent of the information I have on this family.

Melissa, Mt. Horeb Cemetery IS in Perry County & lies between Crooksville & Saltillo on Rte.669. Crooksville Cemetery is at the edge of the small town & just off Rte 93. As to Zanesville Cemeteries I cannot help. For directions in both Counties you may contact the Genealogy Societies. I think the Perry Co. Society has a map available. You may want to check their web site. Anyone in Crooksville can give you detailed directions to the Cemetery if you are planning a visit. Carole

I have just discovered that the SSA is raising the price by 286% for the most valuable tool that genealogists request, the SS-5 form, Original Application for SS Number... It is going up from its present $7 to $27, effective 1 July 2001. Reference: <http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm#_Toc517745431> This is untenable, since many people who do genealogy are older retired folks on fixed income... and this large increase appears to be intended to discourage the public from access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act. How can it cost $27 to receive a request, then make and mail a copy of the one page document??? ...Government is not intended to be making a profit... The $7 seems high, when you actually evaluate the task...and Researching costs more...Could it be that they have some awfully high-paid clerks...and/or interns...??? Since anything can be proven by statistics, I don't believe their "analysis" but you might want to make your representatives in Congress aware of this... US Senate Addresses <http://www.senate.gov/> US House Addresses <http://www.house.gov/> President George W.

Thanks for sharing that family letter, Cindy. The times were tough, the settlers had to be strong. There are very few today that could cope with the rigours of 1850 Ohio. Carole

The following is a copy of a letter written to Rebecca Hall Durnal Taylor by her son in law, Josiah Wilson on April 26 1854. While it does contains few references to other families, I think it gives a wonderful picture of life in Perry County in the 1850's. "Portersville Ohio April 26 1854 Dear Mother All well & in good cheer except myself. I have been unwell a few days tho still able to work a little and eat hearty. The general health of the neighborhood has been good the past winter tho some deaths have occurred recently. James Moore died last Thursday with lung fever after a sickness of 6 or 7 days, William Berry (who lived in the Stone House 4 miles east of us on the McConnelsville Road) went in company with his older brother James Berry to Iowa to look for land & both died suddenly soon as they got into Iowa. It is supposed they died with calery (cholera?). There was an awful occurrence in Deavertown last Saturday while exhibiting some Negro performance under a canvas. Lightening struck the center pole and killed one man dead and knocked down from 20 to 25 men, women & children of which some are seriously injured & may not recover. Times are pretty good here and land is rising in value tho you may tell Abner (Durnal) that there is much better bargains here than his farm at eighteen hundred dollars. If he does not believe it so be it. But if he will come out I will show them and charge nothing for it. I would have written sooner to you but we did not now where you was till a few weeks since we received a letter from Abner stating you was at Samuel Durnals. Now I will give you a few items in respect to how we get along. We try to use all honest means to make a living. I use the mattock axe & mall more than the pen tho I was reelected Justice of the Peace this spring. I cleared five or six acres of land last winter while the boys went to school, this spring we have made about 3000 rails our selves. Wesley does the plowing, the boys work very well. Shannon grows fast. He is as tall as his Mother. The girls grow fast. Harriett is taller than Wesley. Phebe is well off for help. Harriett & Rebecca can't be beaten for business for anything of their size & age in sixteen counties. Now there is four yet that I have not said anything about that bids fair to be worth raising. Miley is rather a runt & Phebe thinks he will do for another year for a baby better than none. I built a nice smoke house this spring and have some bacon in it. No milk and butter at present but expect two cows to fresh in a few days. Frost has been very heavy here this spring tho there is a fair prospect for a crop of fruit yet, except peaches are ciled (chilled) on low lands. Rebecca has just returned from school and bring the inteligence that another man has died from the shock of lightening in Deavertown that I refered to on another page, and a third a female is speachless and her case hopeless. Now all tho in my variety I have said some things diverting, I wish in conclusion to tell you that we are still trying to live right to train up our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord that when we die we may get to that better world. Pray that our faith fail not. I do not know that I will be up to see you this summer as I expect it will be a busy summer with me. Phebe sends her love to you all, I must close. Yours truly, Josiah Wilson Please give my respects to George Douglas, Joseph Hall and their familys. Tell Abner if he will come out soon I can show him a farm about 8 miles from McConilsville and 4 from here containing 170 acres lays well good soil good timber plenty of good water two orchards one of which is grafted fruit. Hundred acres of cleared land nearly all in clover. And under good fence well situated in reference to road neighborhood &c Price three thousand dollars. A good latt (?) in Portersville in the bargain. Also 120 acres at 2000 dollars one mile from here on the Zanesville road lays butiful with good timber good soil good water and orchard and comfortable cabin buildings. Now tell him if he wont have such bargains he may stay on Soap Creek for all I care. J.W.

Sue, thank you for a response. My Patrick Burns was born in Scotland approx. 1857/1858 and eventually settled in Rendville / Corning area. It is possible that there were other family members that came before him, but I'm not sure. My Gr. Grandmother was Elizabeth ( Lizzie) McGinnis from Ireland. Patrick is just a mystery to me. My Gr. Grandmother and my Grandmother Lizzie Burns McVay are buried in New Lexington. But Patrick is not. He died in 1900, and she didn't die until the early 20's. Are you a member of the Perry County Historical Society? I am interested in that also. Hopefully more digging will uncover some clues for the both of us. If I find anything for you I 'll be sure and post it. Good Luck! Michele Finneran Williams

Hi Again Michele, I don't know what information you have on Patrick, but I found a Patrick Burns m. to Hannah Brown m. 18 Sept., 1834, in early Hocking Co., OH. marriages. Also there was a Rachel Burns m. to a Elisha Brown- m. 01 Jan., 1835- Hocking Co., OH. Let me know if you find anything connecting to George Washington Burns, and his father William from PA. (Possibly some connection to the Mateers who were in Perry Co.).

I'm wondering if any-one can help me as I have tried several places in Perry Co without any luck. I have a cemetary plot from Shawnee Cemetary, Lot #47 --- Square 5 Recorded in Book #4 Page 78 in May 1897. The receipt is to Mrs. Emma Tinkler, she was my g-grandmother & I'd like to find if it was her husband George Tinkler or one of their sons buried there. Thank you for any help, Christy Peacock christy_cands@webtv.net
