Hello list, I was checking the 1930 census for a catholic nun in Michigan. I tried her surname with no luck. Does anyone know how I could find her in the 1930 census? Thank you, Maureen

Morning Fellow List Members, I must apologize for the delay in posting one of Offerings. Nearly two weeks ago I had a major malfunction with my computer. It necessitated the purchase locating of a new motherboard for my computer. After a $350.00 ordeal the computer has now been back up and running since late Saturday evening last. Even then there have been major difficulties with this morning being one of them. Fortunately all my hard drives and the associated archives (nearly two and a half terabytes) are mirrored on external NAS computer systems. Nevertheless, without the keys to the kingdom the cook cannot make breakfast. Wayne Webb Notes from our Correspondents. -Bro. Joseph S. Robison, of Wharton, Ohio, writes of the organization of their Sunday-school, April 24th. Bro. Robison was elected Superintendent; Jacob Clapper, Assistant; Wm. Platt, Treasurer; Della Shade, Secretary. They hope that the Lord may bless them in their work. -Bro. W. A. Moore, of Franklin Grove, Ill., writes: "We organized our Sunday-school May 1, and elected the following officers: Superintendent, Geo. T. Weigle; Assistant, C. H. Hawbecker; Secretary, W. A. Moore; Librarian, D. F. Lahman; Chorister, Ella Buck. The school uses the Young Disciple and Brethren's Quarterly." -Bro. Levi Longanecker, of Leetonia, Mo., under date of May 17, writes: "Quarterly council convened on the 17th. One was received by baptism. The missionary cause was considered, and some other matter disposed of, that was found on the visit. One was received on Sunday, the 14th. The good cause is moving along slowly in this part of God's vineyard." -Sister Annie M. Springer, of Morrill, Kan., writes: "The members of the Morrill church organized a Sunday-school May 8. The following officers were elected: William Fritz, Superintendent; David Bowers, Assistant; Annie Springer, Secretary; Ulysses Davis, Treasurer; Alvah Eisenbise, Librarian. Hope we may meet with success, and do much in the good work!" -Sister Mary E. Ross, of Hope, Clark Co., Mo., expresses, in a short letter, her great pleasure in reading the Gospel Messenger. In her isolated condition the paper is doubly precious to her. Sister Ross greatly desires to have some preaching by the Brethren, and feels confident that much good would result therefrom. Who will supply this call? Truly, the harvest is great. -Under date of May 9, Bro. Geo. B. Holsinger, of Bridgewater, Va., writes: "May 1 the Brethren of the Cook's Creek church held their love-feast. We had a very good meeting. On the Sunday previous we organized the first Sunday-school that was ever held in the above church. About ninety persons were in attendance. Jas. Fry was elected Superintendent; Geo. B. Holsinger, Assistant. We hope we may have an interesting school." -Bro. D. S. Cripe, of Elkhart, Ind., gives us the following: "The Brethren of the Elkhart Valley church re-organized their Sabbath-school April 2. They elected the writer Superintendent and Chorister; Joseph Bartmess, Assistant; Ellen Puterbaugh, Assistant Chorister; George Hoke, Treasurer; Lucetta Shomber, Secretary; Mary Hoke, Assistant; Jessie Hoke and Lulie Boyer, Librarians. May the Giver of every good and perfect gift shower down his divine grace and blessings on our school!" -Bro. J. B. Keller, of Ephrata, Pa., states that seven souls came out on the side of the Lord at their love-feast, May 9 and 10. He continues: "May God bless them, and also those who could not come on account of strong opposition. Our love-feast was well attended, and we had good order. Several ministers from neighboring congregations were present, and their assistance in the exercises of the meeting was greatly appreciated." -Bro. E. S. Brubaker, of Peru, Ind., says: "We are located about twelve miles from our place of worship, and do not get to meeting as often as we would like. Under such circumstances you may well know what a blessing the Gospel Messenger is to us. May we met at the Godfrey school-house for singing, and, upon taking a vote, decided to organize a Sunday-school. The writer was elected Superintendent; Mary Pavy, Assistant. We expect to use the Young Disciple and Brethren's Quarterly." -Bro. J. Z. Kline, of Sherman Center, Kan., makes a strong appeal to the church, especially in the Eastern States, that, by the united help of all, they might be enabled to build a house of worship in that part of the Lord's vineyard. Bro. Kline offers to donate five acres of land for the meeting-house and graveyard, besides assisting materially in the work. Surely, the Brethren will feel like lending a helping hand to those who are willing to do their part, before asking aid of others. Bro. Kline may be addressed as above. He will acknowledge all donations sent him, in the Messenger. -Bro. A. M. Musselman, of Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebr., under date of May 16, says: "We are now located in Sheridan Co., Nebr., among a very zealous church of brethren and sisters. Eld. David Bare is preaching the word with zeal and power. He is nearly three score years old, but age does not affect his preaching, though his eyesight fails him. The members are emigrating to this county, and are well pleased with the good soil, cheap homes and healthy climate. If any would wish to hear more of the country they will please send address and stamp, and all questions will be promptly answered." Correspondence. >From Goodville Church, Juniata Co., Pa. Our communion meeting in the Goodville church was held May 20 and 21. Eld. William Howe and John M. Mohler, of Lewistown, Pa., were with us. We truly had "refreshing seasons from the presence of the Lord." One sister was added to the church at our late council-meeting previous to the communion. The Messenger meets with general approval. Health here is for the most part good. S. S. Beaver. McAllisterville, Pa. A Sad Accident. Harry Freed, a ten-year old boy, of Marlboro, Ohio, while attending a horse belonging to Mr. Alva Sheets, of that place, met with a terrible, sickening accident. Mr. Sheets had put the horse in Harry's charge for a short time Wednesday afternoon, May 11, to graze along the roadside. While holding it he tied the halter to his ankle. For some cause the horse became frightened, and ran, dragging the boy by the heel at a fearful rate over the rough ground, for three or four squares. As he struck the obstructions, he would bound up over them like a block of wood. Finally he struck some obstruction that held him, and the horse broke the strap and went on. When picked up, the boy was unconscious. His body was fearfully bruised and torn. His legs were broken in several places, and the flesh was torn from them. One piece of bone, several inches long, was found in the road. His skull was reported to be fractured. He was carried home, and help summoned. During the night he became partially conscious, but the terrible pain soon made him wild, and he gradually grew worse, going into convulsions until Saturday morning, when he was relieved from pain. Services by the writer, in the M. E. church, to a large congregation. J. J. Hoover. [NOTE from Wayne: Interestingly, this obituary did make it into the GM obituary index.] Kansas Items. We had our home at Quinter since March 18th. At that early date, everything looked as though a great change would take place, seeing the many emigrants locating in and about Quinter. Consequently the village is prospering at a lively rate, the business being principally conducted by the Brethren. The farmers are dotting the prairies with new houses, turning over the soil, gardening, sowing and planting. All this makes a radical change; everything begins to look home-like. Vegetation of all kinds is looking remarkably well. Heavy rains have refreshed the soil. Land is rapidly increasing in value. The beautiful prairies are showing grand scenery. May 5th, Elder John Forney, of Abilene, made us a flying visit, and gave us a few meetings. As usual he did not hesitate in telling us the good old story of Jesus. Seeing his person, we think he is at the brink of his grave. When we hear him hold forth the words, with such power and demonstration of the Spirit, we are made to believe he may see many good days yet in life. In Quinter the brethren hold meeting and Sunday-school each Sunday. There is a large field of labor here. May 14th, the church at Quinter met at ten o'clock A. M. for council. Some sixty or seventy were present. Nineteen letters of membership were read. The services closed by song, service and prayer. A. L. Lahman. Quinter, Kan., May 15. >From the Cheyenne Church. Our quarterly council was held April 30th. We were represented at District Meeting by letter. We have about thirty members; a few have not as yet handed in their letters. We have the promise of more dear members coming in our midst. Come, there is room for hundreds of good, working Brethren here in this great west. Husband, father and mother Slifer, and myself, just arrived home from brother Ott's, some thirty miles east and south, where we tried to talk to the people. On our way home, as we traveled across the wide and beautiful prairie, we were made to wonder, how could man make it more beautiful? We look back and think of the many that are toiling for their daily bread, paying high rent in the east. There is a home for you in in the great West. Thousands have come, and still there is room for many more. Come and see. We have now lived here fourteen months; have had plenty of rain. Never were there better prospects for a good crop. Some ask, "How did you get way up in the North-west?" Come, there is a goodly land here, and I do think there are souls to save here as well as in Southern and Eastern Kansas. We wish that some one could be persuaded to locate among us. You do not knew how much we need you here. We have three ministers but they are young at the work and have a large territory. Eliza Cakerice. Bird City, Kansas. >From the South End of Cherokee Church, Cherokee Co., Kan. The Gospel Messenger is a very welcome visitor at our home. As we are isolated from church privileges, we find many articles in the Messenger that give us encouragement in our pilgrimage. As I read W. H. Miller's article in No. 18, I had to think that their wants are nearly the same as ours. He says in the latter part of the article that "they are anxiously waiting for a minister to say that he will move amongst them." Again, "There are plenty of sheaves for the Lord's garner waiting to be gathered in." As a rule we have preaching once a month by our Brethren from the northern part of the county, but sometimes, on account of unfavorable weather, or other causes, they do not get here, which makes the time still longer between sermons. Ministers of other denominations preach that these things are not essentially necessary, and offer them such an easy way to travel that the people, in a manner, forget or cast away; from one time to another, what our Brethren preach and so are led off. It is now nearly three years since we live here, and we are satisfied that there are some here who would unite with us if we just had a faithful ministering brother located here. Some have promised to come, but Satan is busy and cunning, and such things are presented to them that they stand still, and put off coming to the Savior from time to time. If they do not come to Jesus, and are lost, who is to blame? We would like the Brethren to come oftener, but the distance and their many calls at home are reasons why they cannot do so, and we feel very grateful that they are concerned enough about us to come as often as they do. We long to see the time come when we will have an organization of Brethren here, and again enjoy church privileges with those of like precious faith. We earnestly desire a minister to locate with us, and would like all to come and see the country and know for themselves, or if any one wishes to know any particulars, I will tell as best I can. One thing I feel safe in insuring you, that there is plenty to do in the Master's cause; no time to idle away. Who will come and do the great work? We live at Neutral Station, on the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad. A. B. Lichtenwalter. Neutral, Cherokee Co., Kan.

An Old Gentleman With Patriotic Sons. Jacob Kendig, of Orrstown, aged 70 years, father of H. B. Kendig and the late A. J. Kendig, is in the city. The object of his visit is to take a little daughter of the latter son to his home in Franklin county, and care for her. Mr. Kendig is the father of sixteen children, nine of whom are still living, Mr. H. B. Kendig, of this city, being the oldest. There were five of his sons in the army, two of whom, A. R. and W. H. Kendig, were killed, and H. B. and J. R. were wounded. S. W. Kendig was only 17 years old when he went into the service as a bugler at the headquarters of Generals Gregg, Sheridan and Custer. The old gentleman is still hale and hearty and can kick a foot-ball with the youngest. Of course he is a stalwart Republican. Morning Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Thursday, November 25, 1880

SURPRISE PARTY. An Extemporaneous Raid on the Residence of Benjamin Burley. Last evening the residence of Benjamin Burley, on Fifth avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, was raided by a host of his friends. They thought it the proper thing, when Mrs. Burley was passing the sixty-third mile-stone in her life's journey, to celebrate the event by a surprise party. It was eminently successful, and Mr. Burley himself was caught with his "workin' clothes" on and not ready for company at all. There were about thirty-five couples present who packed themselves all over the house and sat right down to have a good time. When we looked in on them the young folks were "twirling the platter*" amid shouts of laughter, intensified to a higher pitch as every now and then the platter would fly in pieces when it was moved too vigorously. At about 9 o'clock Benjamin Burley and his wife Susan were seated and all the friends gathered round as in tones of friendship and esteem many tokens of love and affection were presented to them on behalf of the donors by Mr. Shillito and received by Richard Wood. Among the presents was a very large and handsome Bible, very finely bound and printed in good, large letters, the present of their daughter Alice. As the formal addresses were completed those present stepped forward and congratulated the grey haired couple who received them and who have pulled together for so many years through life's cares and sorrows; its joys and bright places. May their days be long in the land among friends who honor and esteem them is the wish of all who were present last night.

Wonderful Performance of Engine 273. Passenger engine No. 273 was built at the Altoona shops and turned out on the road in 1875, with Mr. Sol. Hoffmeister as engineer. She weighs 75,500 pounds and has five-foot driving wheels. About nine weeks ago the engine was placed for the first time in the shop for repairs, having been in continuous use forty-nine months, and in that time has run 251,552 miles, and is now in the middle division round house ready for the road once more, looking as good as new. Mr. Hoffmeister has the credit for all the mileage made by the engine in the past four years, and the wonderful amount of work performed by it speaks well for the care he has displayed over the machine, as well as the excellent workmanship of the machinists and other workmen engaged in the construction of locomotives. When Cornelius Vanderbilt, son of William H. Vanderbilt, passed east over the Pennsylvania railroad in a special train, something over a year ago, engine 273 hauled the train to Harrisburg. It had then completed 200,000 miles, and that trip entered it on the 201,000. We doubt whether any railroad in the country can produce a locomotive engine with a better record. In making repairs, such as a new fire box, tire, improved spark arrester, etc., only eight weeks were required, showing that the engine was in right good condition still. Mr. Hoffmeister is among the oldest and most trustworthy engineers on the road, and he has certainly shown by the extraordinary performance of his engine that he knows how to take care of it.

Have a well organized Sunday school which is largely attended and we hope good may be the result.  We have disadvantages that the eastern churches do not have, but amid all these we are hoping for good results.  May we all be kept in the bonds of peace. Yours in Christ. Lyman M. Eby. Harlan, Iowa, May 21. >From McComb, Illinois Dear Primitive: We are progressing slowly in the cause of our Master.  We have built a new meeting-house this Spring, but will not complete it for a few weeks. Have had wet weather for some time and farmers are back with their work. Much of the fruit has been killed, still we are confident in the promise "Seed time and harvest will not fail." I have a number of scientific, hygiene and religious pamphlets, periodicals and papers that I should like to exchange for good, solid reading matter. If any of our readers have anything to exchange, please send to me a description of your books, description, price, etc., and I will send you a list of my papers. Fraternally, May 15.   H. C. Lucas. >From Maple Grove Church, Kansas. Dear Primitive: We have good news to tell you.  Yesterday was appointed for our feast.  Had the promise of ministerial help from other churches but none came.  Had good preaching by home ministers.  Two young sisters baptized.  In the evening had a glorious feast-never saw so much weeping as while the minister was speaking of the sufferings of our blessed Jesus.  Deep solemnity pervaded every heart during the entire meeting.  Had public preaching this morning, and at the close six more blood-bought souls came out on the Lord's side. There is much rejoicing here among the saints, and we believe also in heaven among the angels of God.  Brethren and sisters, pray for our little band here in the far West. May 17. My Trip to District Meeting. Dear Primitive: I left home for the District Meeting in Bedford county on the 6th of May and arrived at McKees Station at 9 o'clock in the evening, where brother James Sell met me and took me to his home.  I was kindly entertained by brother and sister Sell and their interesting family.  They have four boys, the oldest a member of the church.  All are bright lads and promise fair for the future.  His home is comfortable and everything seems to be in its place. The next morning we went to the home of his brother, just in sight, and from there to the regular appointment, a distance of six miles, where I tried to preach.  After services, went home with brother James, and in the afternoon attended Sunday-school in the meeting-house, which is on the corner of brother Sell's lot.  This was the first time I had the privilege of meeting with the brethren in Sunday-school and I was a close observer and I must say it was well conducted.  It is certainly well for brethren and sisters to meet together and instruct the children in the way of the Lord.  The officers and teachers seemed to be active and zealous, and I felt satisfied with their work.  In the evening I tried to preach at the same place. The next morning started for District Meeting, stopped with brother Koontz and in the evening there was preaching in a meeting-house near by.  The next morning we reached the D. M. just in time for organizing.  The meeting passed off very pleasantly and closed in the evening when there was such a heavy rain that we could not go to the brethren's houses in the vicinity, so we remained in the meeting-house and had preaching, singing and prayer nearly all night. The next morning started for home.  On my way I stopped at Huntingdon with Bro. H. B Brumbaugh.  In the afternoon I visited the Normal.  Met brother Swigart, and Prof. Lehmer of our neighborhood.  The school was not in session that afternoon.  I remained with them for supper.  All assembled in a large dining room below, which is nicely finished.  When all were seated around the many tables and perfect quietude prevailed a blessing was asked. Then all eat and go out quietly.  I was not satisfied with only this much of the Normal.  In order to satisfy myself I met with the school in the morning exercises in the chapel.  Bro. Quinter was present and officiated.  They sang beautifully and then all united in prayer.  I did wish that some of our brethren who have so much to say against the Normal would do as I did, go and see, and stop talking of something that they know but little about. Next I met with brother Emmert in his department.  He related to me the commencement of the Orphan Home.  It started with 20 cents.  He showed me the house where they commenced to care for the poor orphan children, and told me of the gifts that that are sent to them from different parts of the country.  Prof. Lehmer took me to the Home.  The sister that has charge of these children called them in that I might see them.  They looked clean and happy. They sang a few hymns for me and I talked a little to them. I took dinner with brother Quinter. Now brethren, if you are not satisfied with this testimony go and see, and don't judge before the time.  If I had sons and daughters that wished for more than a common education, the Brethren's Normal would be the school to which I would send them. Everything is common and in good order.  While at the morning exercises in the chapel, I looked over the school and I thought God bless teachers and scholars for the further good of the church.  I would further say to the brethren and sisters, remember the Orphan Home.  Send 50 cents for the Helping Hands and help along the good cause. At 1 P. M. I started for home where I found all well except my son.  I also had good news communicated.  Two sisters made the good confession, and on the 13th they were baptized. Fraternally. John H. Raffensberger. [Note from Wayne: The "Normal" is a reference to the Huntingdon Normal School now known as Juniata College.] >From Arkansas. Dear Primitive: Having many solicitations from the brethren of Tennessee to write to them, and being unable to write to all personally, I beg space in the columns of the P. C.  I left Tenn. the 2nd of February for Arkansas, and landed here the 5th, and having a correspondence from here before we came, two of the brethren met us at Fayetteville with conveyance and brought us to their house, where we were kindly cared for among the brethren until we rented and moved to ourselves.  The evening we arrived, Sunday evening, they had a prayer meeting for our reception, but being very much fatigued from our trip, especially my wife, we did not enjoy the meeting as we would have done had we not been so worried.  We formed the acquaintance of several brethren and sisters.  We were informed they had organized a church here last January, with about fifteen members.  Since that time they increased by baptism and emigration, until there are now two ministers, one in the first and the other in the second degree, and two deacons. I have been over a good deal of the country and find good farming land, level, rich and cheap.  On Round mountain, where we live, the average crop of corn, they tell me, is from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre.  Wheat from 10 to 15 bushels.  The land along the river will do much better than that.  I am told the river land will produce 23 bushels per acre.  Timber and water, plenty and good.  There is no cotton raised in this county.  This is a good fruit country.  Fruit of all kinds does well.  Almost every person has a vineyard.  There is fine prospect for plenty of fruit.  Peach trees bloomed the 15th of March.  There was a frost the 20th of March that killed a great many of the peaches.  The season is very early this year.  Vegetation was out the 10th of March, as much as it was in Tennessee, the first of May.  I am told, however, the season is much earlier here this year than common. Most of the farmers are done planting corn.  Some are plowing their corn over.  It has been very dry for a month.  The roads are as dry and dusty as in August.  The weather now is cloudy and cool.  Wheat looks well and bids fair for a fine crop.  The vacant land here has all been taken up, that is of any account.  I have taken a homestead, and will move on it this fall.  I have rented or bought out a young man's contract.  The man furnishes everything, and I get half, and a house and garden and lots furnished me, and all the fruit we want for our own use.  I will have about twenty acres in corn, five acres in oats, four acres in millet.  I think I have a very good chance, and am getting along farming very well.  The morals of the country are good with a few exceptions.  This would be a good country to invest money in mills or goods.  There is good water power here.  The health is generally good.  We have not heard of a death since we came here.  Our health has been good as a general thing.  People here in this neighborhood are mostly from Kansas.  Some who lately came in are very badly dissatisfied, and I cannot say I am altogether satisfied.  If some of the brethren and sisters and friends from Tennessee were here I would be far better satisfied.  I hope to have the benefit of your prayers.

Hutchison and P. S. Garman came amongst us on the 5th and labored in the ministry several days prior to our lovefeast.  They dealt out the Bread of Life to both saint and sinner to the strengthening of the former and the warning of the latter.  On the 11th the brethren assembled in District Council for south-west Missouri.  There was a good representation of the different churches and the business was satisfactorily disposed of. It was manifest that the spirit of Christ was the ruling influence.  We were made to rejoice at the result of the meeting, which closed at noon on the 12th.  At 2 o'clock we met for preaching, and in the evening to celebrate the suffering and death of our adorable Redeemer.  A large force of Elders and others were present.  Bro. M. F. Baer of Kansas was also with us.  We truly had a feast long to be remembered.  About one hundred members communed and a large crowd of spectators who observed the best of order. Brethren Isaac Wagoner and Jonathan Click were called to the deacon's office.  May the Lord enable them to properly discharge their duty. Preaching on the following day at 10 and also at 3 o'clock when it was announced that there was an applicant for baptism.  On the next day we met again and were made glad to hear that another had resolved to go with us. The brethren preached the word with power and then we resorted to the water-side.  Here truly was a solemn scene.  A large crowd of spectators on each side of the stream, from the little child to the aged father witnessing two youths of the age of eleven and fourteen years buried with Christ in baptism, and to arise to walk in newness of life.  May the good Lord help them to set a good example before their associates, and may they be the means of bringing many others to the fold of Christ.  Met again at 3 o'clock when the brethren preached the word and then the meeting closed long to be remembered by many. The Nevada church is in peace and alive in the cause of Christ.  We ask the prayers of the Brotherhood in our behalf. Fraternally. May 13.   D. D. WINE District Meeting of Virginia Dear Primitive: The District Mooting of District No. 2. of Virginia, met at Mount Zion church, Page Co., Va., near Luray, on the 4th and 5th of May.  Brethren John Cline and George Wine were chosen delegates to represent the Mt. Vernon Church.  This church is in a prosperous condition, a number having united with the church recently.  Quite a number from here attended the District Meeting.  Services continued two days.  Public preaching at night.  Brother Gant from W. Va., preached the first evening from the words, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal." Bro. Sanger from Bridgewater, preached the second evening from the words: "The Lord is a sun and shield."  A striking feature of the meeting was the good feeling and harmony prevailing throughout the entire services.  The temperance question brought out some strong speeches in its favor.  To sum up all in a few words we trust much good was done. After the meeting closed we visited the Luray Cave.  We were nearly two hours exploring it and felt a desire in our hearts to praise the Lord when viewing His handiwork displayed in this beautiful cave.  While there we sang the soul-inspiring hymn, "Nearer my God to Thee."  The Cave was illuminated by Eclectric lights. (sic)  Feeling much pleased with what we saw we returned home to battle with the conflicts of life. Fraternally, A. A. Alexander. Stuarts Draft, Va. Notices. Lovefeasts.
