List, I am looking for any information on a John GALLAGHER who married Ella Louise BIBEY in the late 1890's or early 1900's. Evidently John was killed in a dynamite explosion after he and Ella were married only two years. Ella Louise was my Grandfather Alfred BIBEYs sister and my Great Aunt. She married again in 1914 in Wheeling, West Virginia Garfield James ASTON. Also, I am still looking for any relatives of Frank HEBERLE or Maud HEBERLE nee:PHILLIPS. Hopefully, one of them would know about my Great Great Grandmother Anna Eliza PHILLIPS nee: DOULING. I know that they all lived for years in Carnegie but Frank and Maud both were living in Midway, Washington County when they died. Both were laid to rest in Chartiers Cem. They had one son that I know of CHARLES HEBERLE and a adopted daughter MARGARET. Any information would be appreciated. Alice California

On Monday last (Jan. 28, 1901, by the heading) Mr. and Mrs. Andrew SHANE of South Fayette, had been married a half a century, and about a hundred members of Robinson Run congregation, of which Mr. and Mrs. SHANE have been members all their life, assembled at the SHANE homestead to remember the event. After all had partaken of a bountiful dinner. Rev. Dr. ENGLISH read a poem which described the family of the present day, telling in humorous vein their strong points and peculiarities. Mr. John P. SHANE, Sr., brother of Andrew, made an appropriate address. Little Maurine, daughter of Samuel SHANE of McDonald and granddaughter of the aged couple, recited a poem. Mr. John B. HOLLAND of Cecil was a guest of honor, and remarked during the course of the exercises that the occasion was a golden wedding for him also, although he had never taken part in a real wedding yet; but he called it his golden wedding because he had been born in the very room in which the company was then assembled at dinner. It was noticed, however, that Mr. HOLLAND failed to add how many years ago it was. Whether the omission was accidental or not, there is no data to determine. Mr. and Mrs. SHANE were married fifty years ago by Dr. GRIER in the very same house in which they live yet, and in which they have lived ever since their marriage with the exception of three years they lived on the HERRIOTT place near Bridgeville. There were five guests present at the golden wedding who were present at the original service fifty years ago==Mrs. Mary CAMPBELL, Jno. P. SHANE, Sr., and J. R. and W. J. MILLER and ___ Jane MILLER..part of the column is missing..then continues.ler families came from _____over a hundred years ago. Mr. SHANE has one brother, John P. Sr.; and Mrs. SHANE has three brothers-James R. and William J. and Daniel, the latter in Wisconsin, and one sister, Miss Jane MILLER. The children of the venerable couple are: R. M. and T. R. SHANE, who are farmers n South Fayette, Samuel and John P., business men of McDonald, and Miss Anna SHANE, who lives at home. Among visitors from a distance on the occasion were Mrs. LIZZIE THOMPSON and John R. WILSON and wife of Canonsburg, and James KIRK of Beaver Co. Four sons, one daughter, two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren were present. These children presented their father and mother a beautiful 100-piece china set, decorated in gold. Many others would gladly have given testimonials of respect, but all invitations were marked, "no presents." After dinner the following exercises were held: Psalm 128:1-4 was sung by the company. Mr. Robert STEWART of Wilkinsburg, a brother-in-law led in prayer; Maurine SHANE, a granddaughter, recited an appropriate poem and Gertrude and Mabel SHANE, two other grandchildren, sang a little song; Mr. J. P. SHANE, SR., a brother of the groom, in a tender and happy address on behalf of himself and friends, congratulated the venerable couple. Dr. ENGLISH, their pastor for more than twenty-one years, read the rhyming history of the family, which, by request is printed here within. Mr. Samuel SHANE, a son and our fellow townsman, responded in behalf of the family. Psalm 112:1-3 was sung and the benediction pronounced. After a hearty handshake and leaving a well wish behind, the company went home well pleased.
