I've "rescued" an old photograph identified simply as Henry MINNICK'S granddaughter. The photograph was taken at the Hill Studio in Cleveland, Ohio, likely sometime in the early 1900's with the child in the photograph about 1 year old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the family: Henry D. MINNICK married Katie SMITH on 22 Dec 1874 in Cuyahoga Co., OH Census records provide the following: 1880 census of Massillon, OH: H. D. MINNICK, age 23, a Railroad Fireman, born PA, parents born PA Katie MINNICK, wife, age 22, Keeps House, born OH, parents born Germany Harry MINNICK, son, age 5, born OH Addie MINNICK, dau, age 3, born OH Blanderey MINNICK, dau, age 2, born OH 1900 census of Canton, OH: Henry D.

I am hoping to locate someone from the MINNICK Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with the family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

In the papers of an ancestor who died in Stark County I found reference to dues owed to Newman's Creek congretation. This was in 1830. I think this church must have been an Associate Presbyterian congregation as most of my ancestors were associated with this church. Carol

The sheepskin is the local chapter's original charter. It's been missing longer than anyone seems to recall. "It's just gone missing," said Rebecca DeCoy. She is one of the DAR members charged with compiling details of the organization's 100 years. Working on chapter history got members wondering about the original charter. Odds of finding it are long, admits Audrey Morrison, the chapter's regent. "We want to give it our best shot." The goal is to track down the sheepskin before Nov. 21, when the chapter has scheduled its 100th anniversary gala. Former mayor Janet Weir Creighton, a DAR member and now director of intergovernmental affairs for President George W. Bush, is the scheduled speaker. WHAT MEMBERS KNOW Research has determined that the original charter was placed under the careful guard of Mary Parthena Martin. She worked for the city's library, DeCoy said. "She really gave her life to the library," DeCoy said. From what DeCoy has learned, Martin worked non-stop at the library, never missing a day. But one day Martin went home sick, and she never returned to work because she died from the illness. Martin was treasurer of the original chapter. According to the minutes of a meeting in 1909, members gave Martin responsibility for the charter and decided it should be stored at the library. Problem is, sometime during the past 100 years the charter left the library. It's possible the sheepskin was lost when the library moved from the Carnegie Building to the new main branch on Market Avenue N. As far as folks at the library know, the charter was given to the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum when the move took place, said Linda Dahl, the library's spokeswoman. But workers at the McKinley Museum can't find the sheepskin. "Our records have no indication of that coming here," said Kim Kenny, the museum's curator. Several searches have failed to find the document. Some members wondered if the charter might be hidden somewhere in the Carnegie Building, which now houses the offices of the Schulman & Associates law firm. Schulman said he's never seen anything that resembles the charter, but that he planned to look. IN SOMEONE'S ATTIC? DeCoy and Morrison suspect - maybe hope is the more accurate word - the charter could be among the family heirlooms being stored away in a local household. They believe someone might have taken it because it bears the name of a family member. DeCoy, who moved with her family to the area from North Carolina last year, said her DAR chapter in North Carolina found its original charter at a yard sale. A member recovered it, but it went missing again. "If we can find it, chances are it would be in pretty good shape," DeCoy said. As an organization, the local DAR chapter is in fairly good shape. The group boasts about 180 members, down a few, Morrison said. "It's a good group of women." To become a DAR member, you must be able to prove you had an ancestor who served in the American Revolution or gave material aid to Colonial forces. It's a social and service organization. The group sponsors essay contests and scholarship prizes for school children. Nationally the DAR supports schools in Appalachia and on Indian reservations. Members also work to honor the memories of those who served in the Revolutionary War. They try to make certain that markers are placed at the graves of Revolutionary War veterans. DeCoy and other members have spent a lot of time tracking details of the 31 original members. DeCoy said she loves history and digging out details has been fun. "Researching these ladies, I feel like I know them."

It also has information about the DAR's companion groups, the Sons of the American Revolution and Children of the American Revolution. THE ORIGINAL 31 There were 31 members when the Daughters of the American Revolution organized its Canton Chapter in 1908. They were the women who helped shape the community during the early 20th Century, said Rebecca DeCoy, a current member who is researching the chapter's history as it prepares for its 100th anniversary.
