Dear Listers, A lovely person who's helped me so much in trying to locate my missing maternal grandfather sent me a couple of xeroxed news clippings that caught a few notices in the copying process. So instead of letting these little tidbits go to waste, I'm going transcribe them for my lists. Maybe they will help someone. Jacquie I've tried to make sure the transcriptions are perfect. --------------------------------- CANAAN INSTITUTE IS WELL ATTENDED The farmers institute which was held at Canaan school building Monday and Tuesday was well attended and every feature was a success. The exhibits were larger than last year. The Advocate goes to press too soon for a complete report. It will appear next week. ********* MRS. LURA SHIVELY Mrs. Lura Shively died Sunday at University hospital in childbirth. She was twenty-four years of age is survived by her husband, Guy SHIVELY and three children. The body was sent to Point Pleasant, W. Va. by J.D. Ferguson, undertaker. ********* KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Last week was surely a full one for the local lodge Knights of Pythias and the members thereof. On Thursday night was installation of officers for the ensuing term by L.H.ROUSE, D.G.C., with Dr.C.H.LUCAS acting as M.A. The following is the roster of officers which will guide Pythian destinies for the new term: Marion BOYER, C.C.; F.L.TAYLOR, V.C.; G.E.HERRIOTT, Prelate; Wm.BARNETSON, M.A.; Guy P.URTON, ?.G; Clyde H. RINGS, O.G.; W.P.VIGOR, K.R.&S.; Howard C. BLACK, M.F.; W.G.MITCHELL, M.E.; J.W.CUNNINGHAM, M.W., and C.H.LUCAS, Trustee. Mayor LEPBERT became a full fledged Knight. On Friday night the Columbus Dokkies gave their entertainment which was a varied, an interesting and an entertaining one; they would be very welcome to come again. The night was bad but Castle hall was filled to capacity. The pot-luck supper was veritable banquet. A full account of the evening's proceedings is found elsewhere in this issue of The Advocate. On Saturday night was the first game of basket ball played at home between a Columbus Pythian team and the home lodge team and resulted in a victory for the local team; a fuller account is also elsewhere in this issue of the paper. Lodge at 7 o'clock; be on time and bring in that petition. WOMAN'S CLUB The January meeting of the Woman's club was held in the Plain City club rooms on January 11. The subject for discussion was "Travel Talks." Mrs. Alice K. O'HARRA was the leader and gave a review of "Mark Twain's Travel in the Holyland and Egypt." Mrs. Evalyn C. PARKER told of her travels thru the Southern states and Cuba. Mrs. Jennie C. RICKARD read a description of the Appalachian trail now under construction from Maine to Georgia. After numerous interesting current events the meeting adjourned to meet January 25. ********* REVIVAL AT LONG'S CHAPEL Revival services at Long's Chapel are now going on. If you want Old Time Salvation, come. Come. Everybody is welcome. *********Another article too big to transcribe; however, this article mentions a little boy, JACKIE WISEMAN. "COLUMBUS DOKKIES GIVE PROGRAM HERE, Pot Luck Supper Served to Visitors, Pythians and Families" Quote: "Probably the most popular entertainment of the evening was JACKIE WISEMAN, a youngster of about three or four years who sang his songs like a veteran entertainer. His voice was strong for one of his age and his enunciation for one so young was especially fine."

Who are the descendants of David B. Johnson 1830 OH Union Co., 296 Marysville census? Jeannet

If you have been to my main page, you will note there is a link to all the cemeteries in union co OH, both in alpha order and listed by townships. There is one Potter's Field listed in Paris twp. I think that is the term for indigent burials. There is no Bishop mentioned in this cemetery. On the Raymond-Peoria road just north of the Bellefontaine road, west edge of Marysville, along side the railroad tracks are a few iron markers. From Oakdale cemetery it is at the back edge and across the tracks. The markers are rusty but readable with the help of chalk. As far as I know there is no list of indigents who are buried in union co OH. Maybe the local union co OH historians can help you. Or maybe the union co chap of the OGS would have some info on this. The indigents are probably listed in the same index as all the other Bishop surnames. There are 26 BISHOP listed in the union co OH cemetery index. Buried in Milford Center Cemetery in Union Co, Union Twp are -- BISHOP, Harold M, 16 Aug 1898 - blank , Jeannotte F 15 Apr 1900 - blank If you can e-mail me directly with a name, birth date and place, death date and place (if you have them), I can do a lookup for you. Hope this helps. Happy Thanksgiving. I have a, yep just one, Thanksgiving page at my site now.

>From about 1910 to about 1921 he lived lived and worked in Summit County. From about 1918? to about late 1921 he worked as a traveling salesman for the Jewel Tea Company. He was in Union County in 1922 where he married - and he may have started working as a "garageman" around this time. From 1923 to 1926 his occupation was a "garageman" while he worked either in the Madison or Union counties of the village of Plain City. Any mention of Harold Bishop disappears after March 1926.

I was always fascinated by this epidemic, probably because my grandfather's 1st wife died of it. PBS did a fantastic show on this a year or two ago. The transcript can be found at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/influenza/filmmore/transcript/index.html Actually, the first outbreak was at Fort Riley, Kansas in the spring of 1918. The main outbreak was fall 1918 through spring 1919. Just stop and think about all the diseases our parents had to worry about that we don't think of anymore. I received a smallpox vaccine before I started school in 1969 and if you talk to a 20 year old today, that don't even know what it is.

Hi List FYI -- from The Learning Channel on TV, "Great Epidemic. Documentary." airing 10 Nov 2000, Friday, at 3 am. Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918 and 1919 When you are searching for your civilian ancestors and find that many on them died from Sep 1918 to Jul 1919, it was probably from the Spanish Flu epidemic. If you had an ancestor who was a soldier in WW 1 and he died around Sep 1918 or a little earlier or later, he might have died from the flu. There were two outbreaks -- fall 1918 and spring 1919. It all started in the military in WW I. Soldiers would get sick and report to sick call. The next day they were more dead than alive, and the following day they were dead. There lungs would fill with liquid or blood that left them gasping for every breath. Authorities don't know how many soldiers died from the flu before the war was over. But it showed caskets were stacked up six high for hundreds of yards waiting to be buried. When WW I was over in Sep 1918, the soldiers were being shipped back to their homes. Even President Roosevelt contracted it overseas and was sent home on a ship with returning soldiers. He first got the flu, then double pneumonia. He was in serious condition, but survived it. In the US, shortly after the soldiers returned to their homes all across America, the civilian population began getting sick with the flu. In Massachusetts, 100 a day died from it. One person got it, then six days later 1100 had it, and 12 days later 12,000 people had it. In Oct and Nov 1918, one third of the US population had the flu. For every one that died, 50 struggled through it. In Sep 1918, 10,000 died from it, by Oct, 200,000 had died, and by Nov, 300,000 had died. In the US the flu killed over 500,000 people in 10 months. In England, it killed 150,000. In India, it killed at least 12.5 million. Some say it killed over 50 million people in the world. Many died and were not reported to authorities to be in the total count. There was no medicine for it as it was a virus and not caused by bacteria. Doctors in the US were swamped as about one third of the American doctors were still overseas in the military. Since the doctor could give directions from a distance, many more nurses than doctors died as a result of close contact care. During this time, in many cities there were so many cases of the flu, streetcars were converted to hearses. Schools closed, churches lost their congregations, restaurants closed, some cities closed down, and playgrounds were empty. The strange thing about this flu was that it seemed to kill healthy people largely in the age range of 20 to 40. This age group normally is in better health, better physical condition, and has stronger immune systems than younger and older people. This is one factor of the flu that doctors could not figure out. The Center for Disease Control wanted to look at the virus. So they went to a warehouse in the US, don't remember its location, where they store tissue samples of military soldiers back to the Civil War, who had died, and found a soldier who died from the Spanish Flu. They found it was a mutant virus. It was so dense; they had to break it down into DNA to study it further. As of today they have not been able to find a cure for it or to make a vaccination against it. They said if this virus hits the population again, the results will be more devastating than in 1918 and 1919, because of more people living closer together. Compare this to over nine million military and six million civilians dying in WW I, then add the 21 million who were wounded. Polio crippled 20,000 a year before a vaccine was found.

I posted a reply to Trinity Church cemetery and about ordering a cemetery book from the Union County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. I stated it costs about $11 to $15 including shipping. I looked it up and was not entirely correct. The price list has it listed as 160 pages, price $14, S&H $3, Ohio tax 84 cents. Since I last ordered, they have added S&H and tax. If you order any of the books after looking at this message, tell them you got the referral from member number 708. I do not benefit from it at all. I still pay full price just like you do. It will help support them and their projects. They have books to sell for all the cemeteries in union co OH at -- <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohuniogs/pubs.htm"> http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohuniogs/pubs.htm</A> Other books they have for sale for union co OH are -- Marriages 1820 - 1900, alpha order for males and for females 1877 atlas, with index History of Union Co OH 1883, Beers, reprint, paperback History of Jerome twp 1913, Curry Infirmary 1867 - 1961 Records of Affidavits, book one, probate court You can join the Union County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society for $8 per year for one person or $10 year for a family.

Trinity Lutheran Cemetery was the second burial ground of St. John's church. When the original congregation divided, one to become St John's and the other, Trinity, the cemetery became the property of Trinity Lutheran Church. It is located on State Route 736 just at the edge of the Darby Township line. It is located in Union Co OH, Darby twp. The cemetery was read in 1982 by the Union County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. You can find a link to their site at my help web site. You can order a book, Darby - Jerome Townships Cemetery Records, from them. It costs about $11 to $15 including shipping. The cemetery was first read in 1939, and some graves identified then were not found when it was read in 1982. So it you walk the cemetery looking for one of them, you will not find them. But they are listed in the book -- about 21 of them. I am not sure if the cemetery is still being used or not, but it appears the last burial in the book was in 1980. From the names listed in the book, it appears to be an old German cemetery, as were most old Lutheran church cemeteries. As far as verification of ancestors buried in the cemetery, the German Lutheran Churches had a priest who made entries in books on births, christenings, marriages, and deaths. If you can find these records, you can look at them and make copies of the pages. That is why searching in Germany or on the LDS microfilms of Lutheran Churches is so productive. They recorded everything in these books. So far in my German searches in Germany, I have found my ancestors back to 1688 in one line. And with the help of the LDS ancestral file, back to 1260 on another line. If you only need one or two lookups, e-mail me directly with the full name, birth date and place (if known), and the death date and place (if known), and I will try to help you.

Dear Listers: I'm sending a huge THANK YOU! to all the wonderful people who responded to my inquiry about the TLC. THANK YOU! to all the offers of photographs of my ancestor's headstone(s). THANK YOU! for letting me exactly where this cemetery is located; the next time I'm back "home" I will certainly make a visit to the cemetery. I had multiple offers of lookups for my ancestor(s) who were indeed found to be buried there....SCHOENLEBs. The ancestors are my paternal g??-grandparents....Johann (John) M.(ichael) Schoenleb (Schalip) and his wife, Eve Margaretha SIXT-Schoenleb. However, I imagine there are most relations buried there but have not ascertained which ones. Also, if you haven't gotten a reply to your wonderful emails, I'm trying so hard to answer each one (in the middle of computer & email system troubles). :( But I WILL answer each of you. Bless you all for your kindness, generosity and HELP! You're ALL GEMS! Jacquie (California) "Still a Buckeye kid!"

The following was from another website. I thought I would pass a portion on fyi if you need more write me and I wiil send the full text. There is an alleged genealogy website called familydiscovery.com that appears to be something approaching a scam. In the first place, they charge for access to their site. I have heard different things from several people about the content that ranges from they are copying material from websites around the internet and making it appear that this is their content. However, the primary focus seems to be as a portal or search engine to other genealogy websites. The problem is that you are required to pay for access to the site.

Martha -- You will be hard pressed to find a birth record before 1867. In 1867 the federal government passed a law for all states to start recording births and deaths. They recorded them in a ledger type book with a one line entry. And then not all of them got recorded, as someone in the family had to report it. If they did not report it, it did not get recorded. Before 1867, births and deaths usually did not get recorded. If they were German, they could have belonged to a Lutheran church. If this is the case, the priest recorded all the births, christianings, marriages, and deaths, in his church books (Kirchenbuchs), and he did a real good job. If you find the books you can go thru them and make copies of the pages. Most of the writing will probably be in German, as these early German lutheran churches were in the German community and everything was in German in them. I entered GAAB in my OH 1870 census index, and zero entries came back, with none of them with that spelling in OH in 1870. Since I found this entry, I suggest you look for different spelling variations when you are looking for them. I brought up Muskingum county OH, looked down thru it, and found the folloiwing entry. name age sex rce born census co census twp page GAUB ANDREW 39 M W BAVA MUSKINGUM FALLS TWP 65 On my OH 1880 census index there is -- Cuyahoga county Gaub, Andrew Township : Cleveland Ward 5 Microfilm : Page 424D According to the OH 1880 census index, there are no GAAB or GAUB or GABE or GAABE in Muskingum co OH. But these names, only one or two of each different spelling variation, do exist in other counties. Maybe someone on the list has an OH 1860 census index and can look up Andrew John GAAB for you. I suggest you go to the on line OHS death index site and enter John GAAB under all the spelling variations and see if you find him. If you do, it will have two reference numbers. Write these down, go to the OHS site where you can download the form to order death certificates, download a form, fill it out, send it and $1.00 to the OHS, and you will get a death certificate in 60 to 90 days. It might tell where he was born, maybe not. None are buried in union co OH, under any of the above spelling variations. Hope this helps you.

I am researching the GAAB family. In the Church records I received from Zanesville, Ohio, It states that JOHN GAAB was born in 1860 in Marysville. The letters "Coll" were written after the town. I have found lots of GAAB information in Zanesville in 1870 and beyond. John Gaab's father, Andrew John, immigrated in 1854 to the Columbus area. The span of years between 1854-1870 when they show up Zanesville are missing. Since the record above states he was born in Marysville, I was wondering if someone could guide me to where I could find early birth records for this area. Thanks! Martha >>

I found a marriage on -- CAVANAUGH, Thomas to ELLIOTT, Jane on 22 Oct 1865, source marriage book B page 151, Marysville OH courthouse. Also on LDS microfilm at your local LDS FHC. Found one female Noon marriage but not in your timeframe. There are no Cavanaugh or Noon burials in union co OH. Are you sure the name is NOON or NOONAN? This is another possibility, since Cavanaugh is from Ireland. I think NOONAN is Irish also. Maybe the list could offer some assistance in this area, as I am not certain. There are several Cavanaugh on my 1870 OH census index. It looks as if all the older people on it came from Ireland. You will need to look at each census and see if it is your Thomas. It will have his age, his wifes name and age, and kids listed on it. If you look at one of them and the wife's name is correct, then it is probably the correct Thomas. Remember in Plain City OH, one side of main street is in union co and the other side of the street is in Madison county. So I would bet it is the man on the madison co OH census. Remember the Irish families were close knit and you may find a parent living with him, maybe not. You never know what you will find until you look. name age sex race born census co census twp page CAVANAUGH THOMAS 33 M W IREL MONTGOMERY 9-WD DAYTON 403 CAVANAUGH THOMAS 33 M W IREL CUYAHOGA 8-WD CLEVELAND 264 CAVANAUGH THOMAS 29 M W IREL MADISON PAINT TWP 691 CAVANAUGH THOMAS 28 M W IREL HAMILTON 23-WD CINCINNATI 759 CAVANAUGH TOM 52 M W IREL CUYAHOGA 1-WD CLEVELAND 197 After you find him on a census and establish an age, look at the OHS death index to see if you can find a death on either him or his wife. It will usually tell where they died, at least the county name and state. If you find him in the OHS death index, you can order a death certificate on him. It will usually tell his parents names, including the mother's maiden name, and where they were born. But if it only says they were born in Ireland, then you have a lot more work to do to find them. But chances are he might have married a female born in OH and the search for her will be easier. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello from Iowa! I am researching the GAAB family. In the Church records I received from Zanesville, Ohio, It states that JOHN GAAB was born in 1860 in Marysville. The letters "Coll" were written after the town. I have found lots of GAAB information in Zanesville in 1870 and beyond. John Gaab's father, Andrew John, immigrated in 1854 to the Columbus area. The span of years between 1854-1870 when they show up Zanesville are missing. Since the record above states he was born in Marysville, I was wondering if someone could guide me to where I could find early birth records for this area. Thanks! Martha

Most of the time I have found the school yearbooks on the shelf in the local library. You might want to ask the librarian of the Marysville OH library if they have them and where they are located. They are a good source of info if you don't have much on the person. At least they tell you when they graduated, even back into the 1930s. And the average age at graduation is 18 and you can compute "an about" birth date and then can use that to find more info on them. There are many books on different things in the genelaogy section of the Marysville library also. Once you start looking at them, you might not want to leave for a while.

Hi Charlene, I've been informed that Plain City is divided into 2 counties - Union & Madison. You might have to join the Madison County mailing list too.

Has anyone ever heard of the book, Your Family Tree by David Starr Jordan? I saw a reference to it on a genealogy list sometime ago, but cannot remember if it was reccommended as a it be a worthwhile book or not? Thanks, Jean Silverthorne
