Hi, My uncle graduated from Ambridge High School about 1917. Is there a picture of the school available? Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Ann

I, too, would like to see a photo of the odd-numbered houses on the 1800 block of Eighth Ave in Beaver Falls, before the high school was built. My great-grandparents rented at 1809 and 1811 Eighth Ave from around 1898-1901. -=Steve Bloomquist ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Hesse" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 6:13 PM Subject: [PABEAVER-L] looking for old pictures of Beaver High School area > On our recent visit to Beaver Falls I went looking for the addresses where > my grandparents and great grandparents lived.

I must admit that I have nevver heard of the name Craighead before. So, I went to www.google.com I entered the name Craighead It is not as unusual as I would have expected. There is even a Craighead Co. in Arkansas.

There is a Craighead Lane just off the Steffin Hill Road in White Twp. I'm guessing is was named for your Craigheads. It is between Beaver Falls and Chippewa Twp. Ruth

I would like to see some pictures of downtown Midland c 1914. The house supposedly occupied by my ancestors was gone about 8 years ago & there was only an empty lot.

Thanks to Eileen, Cathy, and Barb, who all sent suggestions re LYTLE. I will put them in my new LYTLE file. I am just beginning on this line. All I know is what I found in the obituary notice for Margaret CRAIGHEAD, nee LYTLE, as follows: "[She was] the widow of James A. CRAIGHEAD, died Sept.18, 1903, at her home, No. 831 Second Ave. Beaver Falls, ...from the infirmaties of age and general debility.....one of the oldest residents of this place. She was a daughter of Isaac LYTLE and wife, and was born near Elizabeth, PA in 1813.....In 1829 she was married to James Alexander CRAIGHEAD, and for a number of years resided at Elizabeth, where he was engaged as a ship carpenter. She was the mother of four sons, Robert A. and John F. of this place, Garrett McC., late of White Township, and Judson, of Bloomingsburg, O. In 1871 the family moved to this place....She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, ...Funeral services will be held at the Methodist Episcopal church...interment will be in Grandview cemetery." We found a large prominent monument at Grandview for Margaret and James and their son Robert. What a thrill! Marilyn Mills Hesse

Hello Marilyn Thank you for the info re: BCGS help in research. Now to the name LYTLE, two years ago I met very gracious lady . Jane Lytle of NYC who was researching Whitehead . I'll print out your letter and send to her via snailmail, as she didn't have email. Will get back to you . Barb

There's an entry in the Civil war lists in my "History of Beaver county, PA', by Warner (1888): "Co. H, 9th PA Reserve, 38th Regiment, Recruited in Beaver county. Privates: Lytle, Robert S.,Aug. 26, '62; tranferred to 190th Reg. P.V. (PA Volunteers?) , May 3, '64. There are places on the net that you can perhaps get more info on the regiments. Try www.pa-roots.com I can't remember for sure its there, but informative anyways! Hope it helps.

Marilyn, Do you know where your Lytles lived over time? The reason I ask is that Lytle is a prominent name in the Cincinnati area from a General William Lytle who fought in the Civil War... We have the Lytle Tunnel (a short, curving tunnel on I-71), Lytle Park and One Lytle Place (office/residential tower). From the website on the park, there is some information on William Lytle: The 2.31 acre park, bounded by Fourth and Lawrence Streets, is the original site of the Lytle family homestead, built in 1809 by General William Henry Lytle. General Lytle was the first Surveyor General of the Northwestern Territory and the first Surveyor General of the State of Ohio. General William Haines Lytle, soldier-poet, who was born there on March 2, 1826, was killed in the Battle of Chickamauga during the Civil War. The land known as Lytle Square was purchased by the city in 1905. Captain Will Lytle's party of pioneers first encamped on the site of what would later become Fort Washington and Cincinnati. In 1780, his party fought the Indians for the prize of Cincinnati and six years later, Ludlow platted the site. Originally scheduled for demolishment as the connecting link of I-71 to Ft. Washington Way, the park was saved by public protest which resulted in the construction of the now-existing I-71 traffic tunnel over which the park now stands. The park was leveled in 1967 and later restored with new landscape designs. Lytle Park represents the first use of air-rights over an expressway in Ohio and one of the first in the nation. This website has a brief bio and information on his ancestors: http://www.wvu.edu/~lawfac/jelkins/lp-2001/lytle.html Also, there is a Markt Lytle, who is in the Indiana General Assembly, State Rep for the 69th District (Dem). Just a thought. Perhaps there is a connection to someone in this line of Lytles. If so, given that the family was so prominent, there may be a good bit of information available.

On our recent visit to Beaver Falls I went looking for the addresses where my grandparents and great grandparents lived. Four of them were in the area on 8th Ave. where the big Beaver Falls High School is located now, and one was a vacant lot! I realize these were not grand houses, since my family were poor Irish immigrants, but I'm hoping someone has a "before picture" (before the High School was built).

Hello listers- We've just returned from our research trip to Beaver Falls, and I can't say enough about the wonderful resources and helpful folks at the BCGS. An obituary in their surname files immediately took me back another generation in my CRAIGHEAD family and tied together all those names I had seen in the census records. This led to another obit, cemetery locations, and the maiden name of my ggggrandmother. Now I have another surname to research - LYTLE. Another person there, hearing me talk about the name CRAIGHEAD, told me there was one in the Civil War 100th Reg. PA. He pulled out a book and showed me a picture of his grave and the card with all the data about him! While I looked up my family in the city directories, I put my husband to work looking up obituaries, and now he's hooked. He loved looking at the old newspapers. We were only there 3 days, but accomplished more than I thought possible. The Carnegie Library is an interesting place too, and I was able to send and read my email from their computers. We also visited 3 cemeteries and found several family graves. Unfortunately the office was closed at Grandview, so we couldn't find all the graves that we knew from the BCGS list were there, but the view was certainly "grand". As a little aside - it pays to ask directions. We couldn't seem to get precise directions on where to turn off, but we decided to take in a band concert in the College Hill area of Beaver Falls. Looking around at all the gray heads, my husband said, "I'll bet everyone of these people knows where Grandview Cemetery is." So he asked, and they did! Having read (or scanned) the book "That Dark and Bloody River" about the pioneer days along the Ohio River, we of course had to see it. So we had dinner at Lock Six and then drove down the river and crossed over it twice. We also enjoyed a dinner at Dockers on the Beaver River, although a thunderstorm sent us indoors after the appetizer. On our last day, as we were leaving Beaver Co., we stopped off at the Dankfest in Harmony. That was really fun, and the people were as friendly as could be. We're both thankful that we made this trip. We met many interesting people (stayed at 5 different B&Bs in a 2 week period) and saw beautiful scenery and fascinating sights. And I have many pictures and new material to file and digest. If you get a chance to visit, do it!

WHEN AUTUMN LEAVES START TO FALL It's time to plan to join Friends of The State Museum for a tour of the Commonwealth's autumnal splendor. Travel to Pennsylvania's northern tier, coupled with a visit to the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum and Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. Dr. Walter Meshaka, senior curator of zoology and botany and Dr. Betty Ferster, entomologist and scholar in residence, will provide special insight along the way. A comfortable modern motor coach leaves the Harrisburg East Mall on Paxton Street at 6:30 a.m. and approximately 6:45 a.m. from Capitol City Mall. The tour begins with arrival at the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum, Galeton, Potter County, which preserves and interprets the colorful heritage of the Commonwealth's prosperous lumber era, when white pine and hemlock were the wealth of the nation. The Lumber Museum provides a "Lumbermen Gallery" in the Visitor Center. The Engine House holds a 70-ton Shay locomotive that was actually used in logging operations, and the Museum's campus provides a grand overview of logging and sawmill operations. Dr. Meshaka and Dr. Ernst have volunteered as guides on the nature trail there. In addition to all the wonders of the museum and its marvelous gift shop, several dozen antique vendors will offer collectibles for sale, along with wonderful food to delight the senses. Lunch is on your own. Choose from the variety of offerings at the museum. The next stop is Wellsboro, the home of Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. Hop aboard the Tioga Central Railroad for a scenic train trip. The journey begins at Marsh Creek Watershed and runs along the shore of Hammond Lake, where one can enjoy nature's wonders. Be sure to bring your camera! Leaving Wellsboro, take a relaxing ride through the picturesque countryside to a quaint country restaurant for dinner. Finish the day with a tour and tasting at Shade Mountain Vineyards and Winery, housed in a converted 19th century barn. What a lovely end to a wonderful day. The cost is $75.00 for Friends members and $80.00 for non-members. For more information and to register, phone the Friends office at (717) 787-6590.

Jean. I must agree with you on Closson Press. They are a godsend. Nothing to gain here either other than the good research you can find in their printings Bernie

The book is available through the Beaver County Genealogical Society for $8.50. Mt. Pleasant "Wilson" Cemetery in Darlington Twp. The Mt. Pleasant/Wilson Cemetery was established on the land of the Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church on the banks of Little Beaver Creek, one mile east of Darlington. On the first Sabbath of November, 1797 the Presbytery of Ohio sent Rev. Mr. McDonald to conduct services at Mt. Pleasant. William and Leah Wilson sold four acres of land to the Mt. Pleasant Congregation for $5.00. The first recorded burials ("tombstone dates") are THOMAS HARTSHORE, of "Red Hill" Darlington Township who came in 1797 from Cecil County Maryland and died 1800 at age 80 years, and SAMUEL SEMPLE who died November 7, 1804 at age 75 years. Alice The Cemetery book is 18 pages in alphabetic order plus an index.
