Gayle, Sorry ! Forgot to say that that Wilson cemetery was in North Sewickley Twp. The Wilson cemetery my mother visited so many years ago was in New Galilee and I believe it is now called something else. Cathy Gowdy

Hi All, Is there a listing of Beaver County Cemeteries that are searchable? I don't know if I over looked it or, its not on-line. The only thing I found was the Beaver Gen soc. that held these, and you had to go there for them. Anyone know if this is all that is available at this time?

Jeff and Diane Nesmeyer are members of the Prince William County Genealogical Society (Virginia) Cemetery Committee. Documenting cemeteries is a two-year old project for PWCGS. Many of the hundreds of cemeteries in Prince William County are small, family cemeteries that have all but disappeared in the encroaching forests when the land was abandoned, or were bulldozed to make way for the on-going development of this Washington Suburb. The Nesmeyers have assisted the co-chairs in locating many of these 'lost' cemeteries and documenting what has been found. The committee used the recommended forms for documentation from the Association of Gravestone Studies, a non-profit organization headquartered in Massachusetts. As the local project has progressed additional documentation techniques and forms have been developed for the types of cemeteries found in Prince William County. Diane and Jeff would like to share the forms, techniques, trial and errors, and experience in documenting cemeteries. The processes that they use can be adapted to many types of cemeteries found in rural and urban settings. They will also incorporate the use of videotaping, photography and digital imaging into their talk. 11:15 a.m. The Cemetery and Its Archives: A Genealogical Treasure. Marilyn Evert has worked at Homewood Cemetery for 10 years and is the assistant treasurer there. She began studies as a graduate student in Anthropology with examinations of material culture. From these studies she wrote the book "Discovering Pittsburgh Sculpture." She is a member of the Association of Gravestone Studies and a contributor to "The Homewood Chronicle," the biannual publication of the education arm of The Homewood Cemetery Historical Fund, a Charitable Trust. noon - Lunch break; brown bag lunch room with vending machines available 1 p.m. So You Belong to the Dead People's Society?: Genealogical Sources that Arise From an Ancestor's Demise. Many genealogists, beginner and experienced alike, do not take that extra step and go beyond the basic death record, tombstone, and will. This lecture concentrates on everything from a simple death certificate to mortality schedules, funeral home records, coroners inquests, land partitions, quit claim deeds, the exact contents of an estate packet, obituary sources, hair (not heir) books, inventory and vendue list analyzation, social security records, insurance forms, and more. Samples of each document type is shown and explained. Tom Neel is the office manager of the Ohio Genealogical Society in Mansfield, OH, where he has been a member since 1976. He has authored several books including the "Ohio County Courthouse Guide," and "The Ancestors and Descendants of Daniel White and Sarah Ford." 2 p.m. Messages From the Grave. Tombstones are the last monuments to our lives on this earth. They can speak of the lifestyle of the deceased or the attitude of death of the loved ones left behind. There are signs that show where abandoned cemeteries lie and ways to read "illegible" stones that may be the last time a person may hear the tombstone "speak." This slide lecture illustrates these techniques. Learn how the dead can still speak to us & how we can all preserve their memories. Elissa Scalise Powell, CGRS, past president of WPGS, is the Cemetery Chairperson for the Allegheny County Cemetery Location project. ---------------------------------------------------- May 12 to 15, 1999, National Genealogical Society Conference in Richmond, VA.

Are we still talking about the CAMPBELL who enlisted in the Civil War from IL ? If so, the Adjutant General's Report, available in most IL libraries has military details on everyone from IL who served. The IL State Archives in Springfield also has civil war military records on state & federal troops. Stephenie, Oswego IL

Hi Barbara, thanks for your offer. I have not been able to find CW records for an uncle Thomas Hartshorn(e), Darlington Twp. Thanks. jean

The following newspaper article appeared in the St. Louis, MO, area on Dec. 26, 1908: "MOTHER TRIES TO STOP MATCH, FAILS, OF COURSE - Artist, 19, and Girl, 17, Elope to Belleville and Are Married. "Mrs. Cordelia Pender's design to spoil the marriage plans of her daughter, 17 years old, and Edward W. Ullrich, 19 years old, by taking Bessie back to her home in Beaver Falls, Pa., miscarried Friday when the young people eloped to Belleville and were married by Magistrate Evans. "Two years ago Ullrich, who is an artist, went to Beaver Falls to visit relatives. He saw a girl on the street and was so attracted by her that he drew a sketch of her from memory. He showed the drawing to a friend and said he would like to meet the original. The friend recognized the picture as that of Miss Pender and arranged a meeting between her and Ullrich. "A year ago Miss Pender went to East St. Louis to visit her sister, Mrs. William Plever. She and Ullrich had become secretly engaged and he persuaded her to stay in East St. Louis. "When Mrs. Pender arrived from Pennsylvania recently to spend Christmas with her daughters she learned of Bessie's plans. Wishing to delay the marriage on account of the girl's youth, Mrs. Pender notified her she would have to return to Beaver Falls on the day after Christmas. Bessie telephoned to her fiance, and the couple arranged to be married Christmas Day. "Ullrich is a son of William Ullrich, a contractor, of 2514 Montgomery Street. The bride and bridegroom were given a wedding supper at the home of the latter's parents. Mrs. Pender was present and forgave her daughter. "The young couple are living in a flat at 1915 De Soto Avenue, which Ullrich fitted up a few days ago." Parents of the groom, Edward W. (Edmund) ULLRICH, were William August ULLRICH (b.1861 IN, d. abt. 1918 MO) and Clara WILLARD (b. 1865 OH). Edmund was b. 1889 in OH. Parents of the bride, Bessie Luellen PENDER, were Samuel PENDER (b. PA) and Cordelia Victoria ECKMAN (b. OH). Bessie was b. 1891 in Beaver Falls and d. 1983 in New Orleans, LA. Other children of Wm. A. & Clara ULLRICH were: Myra Mae(b. 1886 Louisville, KY, d. 1968 Kerr Co., TX); Wilber William (b. 1893 Madison, IN, d. 1963 TX); Ralph (b. 1898 IN, d. betw. 1900-1910). I am searching for any family links in Beaver Co., particularly in the ULLRICH/WILLARD side. Myra Mae ULLRICH was my grandmother. Thanks in advance for any information on these families!

Barbara, can you do a look up for me? I have records leading me to believe that a great uncle and aunt got a pension. Their names were Herman and Wilhelmine Zipp from Wisconsin.

To Midge Haines, If you haven't located the Civil War record you're seeking, you might try The State Department of Military Affairs. I found my records here when the Military Archives of Wash.,D.C.couldn't find the records for my g gr father. They suggested that I try the Military Records and Research Branch of the above address. Good luck Imogene

Midge, Sorry, None of the units that we are looking into can be traced to Fort Donelson. Most of the units that we have been looking at are Cavalry, which did not play a part in the battle of Fort Donelson. Have you tried the Bates Books at the library? They have a listing of the units with names of all soldiers. You could also write to the Archives in Washington, DC for his military record. That would list his unit, if they could find him by just name. Are you sure that he was in a PA unit? I have looked through a few books and the only listing of troops that I can find so far are Iowa and Illinois. Grant was the commander of the battle and there were three divisions of soldiers. Major Gen. Charles F Smith, Major Gen. Lew Wallace and Major Gen. John A McClernand were the commanders of these divisions. A note from another book states the three largest union training camps were located in Washington, Cairo and St. Louis. Camp Defiance in Cairo reports that the men were in splendid physical condition and well drilled. It was from this camp that Grant took the troops that distinguished themelves at Fort Donelson. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Joyce joyce@cobweb.net

Midge Haines, Have you checked with Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial 4151 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA., 15213 412-621-4253 Mac

To the JOYCE researching the PA. Civil War units and possibly these the 111th Regt PA Vol; the 83rd Regt PA Vol; the 64th Regt PA Vol; the 145th Regt PA Vol; and the 64th Regt 4 Cav DO YOU KNOW IF ANY OF THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE WAR EARLY AT FT. DONELSON, TENN---IN 1862? I am looking for a unit that was in that battle that had members from the Blawnox area in Allegheny Co. I have a JAMES PHILIPS CAMPBELL from that area or possibly from Robinson Twp when he joined up that was wounded in battle on Feb 17 1862 and died during the night of th 18th. This information is in a PHILIPS Family Bible that does not list what unit JAMES was fighting with. The Park rangers at Ft. Donelson said he is not buried there or not listed as being one of the troops. In fact they claim that NO Pennslyvania unit was in the battle. Do you know where the above listed units served? Midge Haines Jasspro @aol.com

Nope. All states, North and South. Don't think they have much Naval stuff on it yet though. It's address is www.civilwardata.com and it costs $25 per year. You can pay with a credit card. Barbara Prior Jameson
