>From the McArthur Democrat-Enquirer, January 3, 1919 (Title omitted) Mrs. Eugene STUCK and son Clarence returned last week from a visit with her sister, Mrs. John HESS at Kalamazoo, Michigan.

BRAKE of McArthur street, Chillicothe, writes us in renewing his subscription, that he formerly lived in Zaleski, and that he still loves to hear from old Vinton County friends. The friendship is mutual we are sure. We are not likely to forget that brother BRAKE was once one of ourselves, and we still love to claim him as our own. There was a very enjoyable eat at Orland on New Years day: The PAYNEs, Lucius, Casius, and Miss Hattie PAYNE, and Mrs. Etta MURPHY entertained the following at dinner: Mrs. Nelle CHERRY and son Bayard, Mr. and Mrs. George CHERRY and daughter; Mr. and Mrs. Lucius LEE; Mr. and Mrs. Ervin FREESE and child; and Mrs. Edgar ERVIN.

The family consists of Mrs. MOORE, daughter Miss Mildred, Son Mac, about 15 years old; also Earl MOORE, their married son with his wife and one child. They are occupying the Perry GORSUCH home as a residence. Mr. and Mrs. MOORE and family prove to be very welcome additions to our community. (part of a letter) Week ago yesterday four of us boys were sent to Luxemburg City, to handle a big telephone exchange; only stayed there one day. I have been in a part of England, France, Belgium and Luxemburg and now in the Army of Occupation. This sure is a pretty country and we sure have been paid for our trip. Three of us were over in Luxemburg City yesterday afternoon on a little detail. We are located about twelve miles north-east of Luxemburg City and about twenty miles from the German border. Luxemburg City, is a fine city and they sure have some classy girls. We four boys were the first Americans in the city and they went wild over us. One of the bunch could speak German and we found several who could speak English. In five minutes time after we stopped the automobile one could not get within twenty five feet of the car. They would touch our clothes, shake hands with us and some of the girls asked us to home with them; only sorry that I didn't have more time. Mom, there are all kinds of rumors floating around here and they all sound good to us. We hear that we are to parade in Washington the 24th of December and I only hope it is true. Had two of my teeth filled the other day, the first time for a dentist to work on me. Look if you don't hear regular from me. Remember I am marching and no time to write, hope to beat this letter home or follow it close. Love from Pv. F. M. DUFFY Co. B, 308 F. S. Bn., American E. F., A.P.O. 754 via New York

I am trying to locate the Family Bible of Horatio Benton Strong. I understand that it has passed through many hands and was just taking a chance that someone on this list may know who has it. Althea Strong told me today that she has lost track of it and because so many have deceased, it is hard to retrace the steps. So if anybody has any clue, I would appreciate the help. You never know until you ask! Thanks to all of you for interesting posts and informative answers to the myriad questions that are posted. I'm still working on the line of Horatio Benton Strong m. Almira Foster an Feb. 4, 1894, These were my greatgrandparents - any and all information appreciated. Sincerely, Helen STRONG Pond Woodland, GA

>From the McArthur Democrat-Enquirer, September 17, 1919 PEARCE-SHARP Mr. Ben PEARCE, son of the late Geo. PEARCE of McArthur and Miss Edna Viola SHARP, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. SHARP, were married at the home of the bride's parents Tuesday morning at ten o'clock by Rev. Charles A. PEARCE, pastor of the Christian church at Tiffin, Ohio, and uncle of the groom. The bride wore a dress of white Georgette and satin with pink bridal roses. The groom, a Sergt. in Battery F, 134th F. A., 37th Division was in uniform. Their attendants were little Dorothy Marie SHARP, and Margaret Gail SWAIM who preceded them carrying baskets of flowers, Mrs. Edwin MARKHAM, sister of the bride, matron of honor, and Mr. Kent MURPHY as best man. The ring ceremony was used. After partaking of a bountiful dinner the bride and groom accompanied by Mrs. Edwin MARKHAM, Mr. Dall WILSON, Mr. Kent MURPHY, and Rev. Chas A. PEARCE left on the noon train for their home in Marion, Ohio, where the groom, since being discharged from service, has taken up his former employment as car inspector on the Erie Railroad. The bride has been for the past three years one of the county's successful teachers, and last year had charge of the primary grades in the public schools here. Both are graduates of our High School. The best wishes of hosts of friends go with them to their new home. Out of town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. W. F. MCPHERSON and daughter Maude of New Marshfield, Mr. Dall WILSON of Columbus, and Rev. Charles PEARCE of Tiffin, Ohio. MARRIED AT SENECAVILLE William Edgar BELCHER, late of Co.

The Enquirer joins with the many friends of the happy young couple in wishing them a long and pleasant voyage through life. NOTES OF G. A. R. The Grand Army reunion in Columbus last week was one of the greatest in recent years. It is estimated that there were about 75,000 soldiers of the civil war in attendance, daughters, sons, or grandchildren. Many of them had their wives along, and they were generally spry enough to take good care of the old veterans. Many world war soldiers also attended them. About ten thousand of the veterans felt themselves able to join in the parade of Wednesday morning although it was raining. The feature that pleased the old soldiers most, was the clouds of young Boy Scouts in attendance on them everywhere anticipating their wants. The Scouts carried stretchers with forces enough to carry any soldier who might become exhausted, to an ambulance fully equipped and moving along in the parade, with a doctor and two nurses in each. Scouts were always saluting the old veterans and asking them if there was anything they could do. And their friendly young faces certainly made a great hit with the visiting veterans. They all went home prasing and promoting the Scout movement. Their friendship, as well as that of the Spanish war veterans and those of the late world war will be a big asset for the Scouts in the future. "A Scout is helpful," is one of the Scout laws that was well observed in Columbus last week. Captain Lafayette HAWK of Sacremento, California who was Captain of Co. F. 224 O.V.I.attended that reunion and is expected here Friday to visit relatives and friends. He is attending the reunion of his regiment at Circleville, today and yesterday. James GILL of Co. K. 50th Illinios Infantry, attended the reunion, and was the guest of his brother, D. C. Gill last week. Out of the 2,800,000 soldiers of the civil war, less than 150,000 still live and their ranks are being depleted by thousands every year. The youngest of them are about 75 years old. The heat of Tuesday was so great that about 78 of the veterans were carried to the hospitals for temporary relief. We are indebted to Barnet HOOK, one of the visiting veterans, for an account of the doings of the Scouts, whose conduct he could not praise too highly and for a description of the line of march. The Ohio vets formed at the corner of Gay and Rich streets, from which they moved to Main then over to High.

I really don't know. My gggrandmother was Sithey Darby, b.1812 Ohio, to Samuel Darby and Charity Redyard. She married Henry Fry in 1830, Jackson Co. I have found a lot of Darby's. Haven't found an Addie but she may be a cousin and i haven't researched that yet. Sithey was a twin to Britain Darby. Don't you love these names - Addie, Sithey, Britain? If I can be of further help please write again, although I wasn't much help here. So glad to hear from you. Coralie Minner Schepansky

Does anyone have any info on the Marie SORRELL who was mentioned in the article from March 12, 1919. I am researching SORRELL, CARDWELL, OILER, SPIRES, CAMP, FITZWATER, and any other that comes up in my searching. Also was the Joseph SPIRES mentioned the man who donated the land for the church that still stands at # 10, on St. Rt. 124 just inside the Jackson County line. I went there for many years, in fact I was raised in the house just down the road that is occupied by the Kerr family at this time. I am distantly related to that Joseph SPIRES. Any help would be appreciated. Willa D. Glass
