Dorothy.... Thanks so much for listing the Western Star Info...it's very interesting and helpful! I'm interested in the land tax info on the Lytle name. I believe they tie into my direct line of Hizar/Hyser. Anyone else searching the Evans, Hizar, Dunn, Supinger lines? Thanks again, Dorothy Becky in AZ

Dorothy, Neal MCCANN was an early settler in Shelby Co IN (c1830). Many Shelby Co pioneers were from Warren Co OH. Is Neal related to you Sarah and Daniel? Neal's estate papers are on file at the courthouse, if you are interested. Phyllis Miller Fleming Shelbyville, IN

The following ones will contain many tax lists so I decided to list the people but not the columns of money. If anyone need to know the money amount, email me. When I get through all of the papers Judith sent to me, I will send the zeroxed copies to Warren gen. Soc. unless they don't want them. BTW - everyone, keep an eye out in your research for my Daniel and Sarah Rebecca McCann from Warren. They were there in 1820 and 1830 census.Thanks very much.

Did the Lebanon Western Star print obituarys? I am having a terrible time locating info on my great great grandfather, William Pierson. I have seen copies of the marriage records which state nothing more than he and my great great grandmother were of the legal age of consent. Also, his estate papers are nothing more than an inventory and sale of his belongings and property. His date of birth is unknown at this time. He was married to Nancy Crosley on Nov. 21, 1839 and he died sometime in late October or early November of 1846. I need to find some info that will give me clues as to who he was descended from. I'm getting desperate! Thanks Dave Pierson Evans, GA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

I purchased a journal yesterday from an anitque store in Lebanon. This book mentioned 2 names I'm researching so I bought it. Thought I would share this information with the list. The book names several people in the county that this woman performed work for. I was so intrigued by her journal that I did "some" research on her as well. The information follows: This book was written by Ollie F. (McKinney) King of Lebanon. She was born 12/27/1885 near Harveysburg to William and Rhoda (Miller) McKinney. She died 7/1970 and is buried next to her (ex)husband William J. King in the Miami Cemetery in Corwin, OH. W.J.King was b.1888 d.1956. They had 1 child that I could find; Rhoda Jeanette King b.5/21/1916 in Turtlecreek Twp. NOTE: This information was obtained through her notes and my books on Warren Co. Ollie began writing in this book 1909 and ended 1949. She recorded dates, names of people she worked for, and how much money she received. She also recorded some alimony paid to her by W.J.King, when her dog died, and when she moved.

Marjory: You may be referring to the National Normal University which was established by Alfred Holbrook and his wife. My great-grandmother attended this school, graduating in 1872. >From a newpaper clipping, Dayton Daily News, 8 Aug 1937: "A convention was held at the Miami university at Oxford to determine where the proposed normal school should be built. Lebanon was selected and nearly 400 teachers organized themselves into a group called the Southwestern Normal association to maintain the normal school until the time the state could take it over. Instead of erecting a new building, it was decided to remodel the Lebanon academy building, whcih had been built in 1845. At that time, tuition was unbelievably low in comparison to what is now asked in a high class school. For two or three dollars a week, a student could have his board, room and instruction. On November 24, 1855, the school opened with the registration of 95 pupils, 90 of whom were residents of Lebanon. The school grew by leaps and bounds and in 1881, the year in which began the period of greatest success in the school, there wre 1850 pupils in attendance. Nearly every state and territory in the Union was represented. In 1870 the name was changed to National Normal school and 11 years later it became National Normal university. In 1907 the school became known as Lebanon University. Notwithstanding the large enrollment, the school underwent a period of financial distress about 1890. It was immediately reorganized and a board of directors was named to control affairs of the school. Until that time, Prof. Holbrook had been in complete charge. Not long after, the Professor went to Southern Normal university in Tennessee. With Prof. Holbrook's departure, Lebanon university started to decline and it was never able to retrieve its lost dignity. After spending several years in the sourth, Prof. Holbrook returned to Lebanon where he lived his last years close to the scene of his labor. He died at the age of 93 years on April 16, 1909. Lebanon university passed out of existance about five years later, but on the anniversary of the professor's birthday, in 1916, hundreds of old alumni returned to observe the day." Some of the former students included Sec. of State Cordell L. Hull; former Gov. Cooper; former Gov. and Sen. Hatfield of WV; former Sen. Robinson of KY; Judge Charles Malsbary of Cincinnati; John W. Withers, Dean of the College of Education of NY Univ.; and Dr. Cunningham, president of Alfred Holbrook College. And by the way, the Warren Co. Gen. Soc. resource center is located temporarily in this building.

My grandfather graduated from there ca. 1896 and I would like to know more about the college he attended. I never met him as he died prior to my birth. However, he was the only other teacher in the family until I came along. I have a picture of him standing on steps in front of the school I presume but someone has cut off almost everyone else in the class photo. There are no marks of identification on the picture no is anyone else in front of or behind him labeled. He was Jacob Coleman PETTY. Thank you. Marjory A. Austen >>
