Goodmorning I am looking for infomation Thomas Miller whom married Catherine Tice supposed son of George Miller and Salina Carpenter Miller was not George Miller's son but was the son of an Indian. I have recieved information that says Saline Carpenter was captured by Indians and that Thomas was her son and the son of an Indian. Also that George Miller and brother Frank were also captured and Salina helped them escape and George Miller later married Salina and raised Thomas and gave him the Miller name. I am looking for proof and any infomation on the Indian captures that was to have happen around Senecaville, Ohio. Any help would be appericated. Thank You Linda LRHall175@aol.com

Letter published in the Jan 15, 1919 REPUBLICAN JOURNAL: France November 27, 1918 Dear Mother and Niece -- I will try and write you a few lines this evening to let you know that I am all right and hope you are all the same. We have been having some rain here. It don't take much rain to make the roads muddy. There are so many trucks running all the time that the roads are a slop but not very deep. Well, Clara, I received your letter yesterday and was very glad to have the pictures, and also glad to see Hilda's picture among the bunch. It is certainly nice to look at a few familiar faces from home. I suppose there will be a dance at Lowell tomorrow night. Wish I could go. The flu certainly hit the boys hard that I knew. I certainly feel sorry for Forest SANFORD. He will feel so bad and to think that the two out of one family in so short a time. My bunk buddy and I are having some time. The one in bed first gets the bed. It is very narrow, so I will have to close, this is the night I sleep. So long. Love to all Pvt. Homer I. DUTTON Co. A, 15th Mch. Gm. Bn. A.P.O. 745, American E.F.

I don't think I'm very different from most of you in my love for cemeteries. Throughout my life, I've been fascinated by them on a number of levels. I wrote a column in 1999 on the subject of "Cemetery Iconography" which you may find interesting as well.

Each time I visit a cemetery, I am struck by the different thoughts and attitudes expressed in the design of cemetery markers, the iconography used on the stones, the information carved on them, and the epitaphs.

The more than 13,500 photographs in the online collection document more than 9,000 gravestones, most of which date from before 1800.

I just received the book, History of St. Luke's Church (details below). Boy, does it ever have a lot of surnames. Seems like everyone in town belonged to this church. ha ha Anyway, the book was written in 1884, and it's pages are really fragile, and tear easy, and the binding of the book is not in the greatest of shape. Because of the age and the condition of the book, I decided to copy about 45 pages, which gives a lot of historical and genealogy information. The book is NOT indexed, which is kind of disappointing, but I'm not complaining. Last month I transcribed the Burials of the St. Luke's Church. And by the way....it is the EPISCOPAL church. When I did the transcription, I used the Early Ohio Settlers CD, and all the names and dates are confirmed to be correct as it is stated in the book. However the CD only gave the burial dates from 1833-1883. More baptisms were added to the Supplementary (written in 1911) of the book for the dates of 1884-1910. I will be adding the 1884-1910 to the transcribed list shortly. This will be the first thing that I transcribe. I feel that it's important to have a complete list before I go on to do more transcriptions. Next I will work on getting the MARRIAGES transcribed. BECAUSE THIS BOOK IS "NOT" INDEXED, I CAN ONLY DO THE LOOK-UPS OF THE PEOPLE LISTED BELOW. I will be using the pages that I have copied, and have highlighted them for easy finding. The MARRIAGES, BAPTISMS, AND CONFIRMATIONS are "NOT" in ABC order, so it is impossible to do look-ups for these. I will get these transcribed in this order, as soon as possible and let you all know when it is completed by sending an email to the Wash. Co. LIST.
