For those interested I now have available prints of the entire collection of township maps for Blair and Huntingdon counties in Pennsylvania. I also have several township maps for Montgomery county, Ohio and Lebanon county, Pennsylvania. The township maps are all done to my standards (notoriously high) and stem from my collection of 1870s and 1880s atlases. CORRESPONDENCE. "Write what thou seest, and send it unto the churches." Messages Dropped by the Way. I reached appointment, 150 miles from home, near Steffenville, Lewis Co., Mo., Jan. 31. Here I felled the first tree for the Brethren's meeting-house of the Novelty congregation, right at the center of the spot where the house is to be erected. Before I left, a good part of the logs were at the saw-mill, and most of the frame timbers hewed. There was also a fair subscription for labor and money obtained. I also saw to it that the use of saw-mill and the service of its manual forces was donated to the Brethren for two days' sawing for the house. During these labors in Shelby County we baptized one young brother and reclaimed a sister. Besides attending a council-meeting, we preached thirteen times, then went to Millport, Knox County, some thirty miles distant, to visit and comfort our two isolated and bereaved sisters, McQuoid. I held four meetings and then returned home, with the promise that several more would soon be ready to come and go with us. I saw the brother and sister who originated the Lord's manna (Sunday eggs) proposition, and they told me when the announcement came out in the MESSENGER that their proposition was accepted and proposed to all others, they set in to prepare a report at the close of the first quarter of the year 1889, hoping that the first report in the MESSENGER on this proposition will bring many more names besides their own. To those not acquainted with this proposition I would say, read "Messages Dropped by the Way," on page 45 of this volume of GOSPEL MESSENGER. C. C. Root. >From the Sunfield Church, Eaton County, Michigan. Our council-meeting of Feb. 9, passed off very pleasantly. Our home ministers commenced a series of meetings on the evening of the 9th, and on the 10th, Eld. Isaiah Rairigh came to their assistance and stayed with us until the morning of Feb. 14, when duty called him home. Feb. 16 was our District Meeting. We can truly say that the spirit of the Lord was with us during our exercises, and the best of feeling prevailed throughout the entire meeting. The churches were well represented; only two failed to be represented. All questions before the meeting were attended to, and no query sent to Annual Meeting. The brethren from the different arms of the church gave us many lasting and useful instructions. We had no additions, but we have reason to believe that there are some who are counting the cost. We hope that the spirit of the Lord will prevail on their hearts that they will come to Christ and live. Our quarterly council of Feb. 2 passed off very pleasantly. The brethren agreed to build an addition to the meeting-house, for the purpose of making it more convenient during love-feast exercises. The Brethren also decided to organize a Sunday-school March 31. This is a move in the right direction. Brethren, if we teach our children the ways of the Lord while they are under our care, we have done our part, and when we meet them at the bar of judgment, they can not condemn us. District Meeting appointed Eld. Eleazer Bosserman as delegate to Annual Meeting. Brethren, let us all bear in mind that the prayers of God's children have a great influence in behalf of our delegates and the other brethren that are entrusted with the work for the Annual Meeting. If we want the church to prosper in the right way, let us bear up those, that are entrusted with the work, at a throne of grace, and all will be well! Solomon C. Smith. Here and There. J. B. B., which stands for J. B. Brumbaugh, gives the readers of the MESSENGER good and practical suggestions on the Sunday-school lesson for each Sunday. Every church paper ought to have, at least, one page each week devoted to the Sunday-school lesson. Teachers in our Sunday-schools will be benefited by reading J. B. B's timely suggestions on the lesson for each Sunday. LIQUOR OR NO LIQUOR? The question is to be voted on by the people of Pennsylvania the 18th of this coming June. A more vital question could not, at this time, be brought before the people. Every year nearly one hundred thousand of the human race are being swept away by this terrible soul-and-body-destroying demon — alcohol. As a Christian people we ought to do all in our power to help put down the rum power, and it is hoped our Pennsylvania Brethren will not neglect the opportunity on the 18th of June, 1889, to vote for God, home, and native land. We have never taken much interest in politics. Sometimes we go to the polls and vote, and sometimes we don't. We have never allowed ourself to be drawn into the whirl of political excitement. But the question to be brought before the people of the State of Pennsylvania this coming June, and to be decided one way or the other, is not practically speaking, a political question. It is simply a question of liquor or no liquor for the State of Pennsylvania, and it is for the Christian people, and voters in general, to say—independent of political proclivities or affinities—whether the terrible demon shall be wiped out, or still be permitted to go on and do his work of devastation for time and eternity. If Christian people will vote as they pray, and do their duty for God, home and native land, they will help to bury, if possible, the rum demon so deep that there will be no possible chance of his resurrection again, AROUND THE BAPTISMAL WATERS. The last day of February, 1889, we gathered around the baptismal waters, when fourteen precious souls were baptized by the writer. Quite a number of people were gathered together to witness the occasion, and though the water was quite cold, yet the applicants were all baptized without offering the least resistance or struggle, a spectacle we ought always, if possible, cautiously to guard against. If only those who baptize would keep themselves composed, and not attempt to put the applicants for baptism under the water until first asked whether ready, with the request to hold the breath while being put under the water, very little struggling and gasping for breath, which makes baptism, by immersion, so objectionable and obnoxious to many people, would have to be witnessed! We are strong in our convictions and faith, as to trine immersion being the only true mode for baptizing; yet, to the shame of some it must be said, we have witnessed baptismal occasions which were far from being what they ought to have been. Of course an excitable and flustering baptismal scene is, in itself, no argument against trine immersion, as the true mode of baptizing, yet excitable and flustering baptismal scenes carry with them a certain amount of objectional features, which the more sensitive and refined are not so soon ready to overlook. A solemn, composed and dignified baptismal scene will always leave an impression for good with the people, while a flustering baptismal scene, where modesty, solemnity and dignity are lacking, will have just the reverse effect. Let us ever aim to have all our baptismal occasions characterized with the solemnity and dignity becoming the occasion, and we will not be obliged to do so much preaching on the subject of baptism. " How" it is done will go a great way towards satisfying the people why it should be done. J. T. Meyers. >From the Bremen Church, Ind. We-have just closed, last Sunday evening, a series of meetings that was held in the Hepton meeting-house. Bro. George B. Shively, from Camp Creek, did the preaching. He preached for us two weeks. We had good interest and good order. He delivered to us the whole counsel of God, in plain words. As a result two young men came over on the Lord's side. May they walk in that narrow road that leads from earth to glory! Let us work while it is day for the night will come in which no one can work! John S. Kauffman. (Note from Wayne: This meeting-house is not mentioned in Winger's 1917 history. This news item seems to indicate that in 1889 (the church being only 7 years old) the congregation had more than one meeting-house.) To the Churches in Nebraska. Inasmuch as the churches of Nebraska are very much scattered, and have been very poorly represented by delegates, for the last few years, at the District Meeting, we have placed the meeting near the center this year. The Secretary was informed by District Meeting, of 1888, to urge all churches to send delegates this spring, instead of representing by letter. There will be some important business to transact, such as the question of dividing Nebraska into two districts. Let all the churches of Nebraska bear in mind, that if we do as half of them have done the past two years, there will be no delegates at District Meeting to transact the business. The next meeting will be held in the Exeter church, Exeter Nebr., April 12, 1889. J. E. Young, Sec. (Note from Wayne: Interesting that they were contemplating splitting the district.) Final and Last Report of the Altoona Meeting-house. The following is a report from April 1, 1888, to March 1, 1889: RECEIPTS.

Stifler, Treas. --‑ >From Chiques Church, Lancaster Co., Pa. We recently closed a very interesting series of meetings, held at different places in our district. The first week's meeting was held in Elizabethtown, following the dedication of the new church, recently built. It was conducted by brethren James Sell and H. E. Light. A few weeks later quite an interest was awakened at the Green Tree church. A number made the good choice to walk with the people of God, and work for the Master, finally to obtain that eternal crown of life. We hope they, with all of us who have previously begun this noble work, may ever be faithful, and, if trials and temptations assail us, take all to the Lord in prayer! Our good Master is ever willing to take the weak lambs by the hand, and lead them gently on, if they wholly consecrate themselves to him. During the last few weeks our brother, John Flory, from Virginia, was among us. Our prayers are that the good seed, sown during these meetings, may bring forth copious fruit in the near future! Ellen R. Heisey. Elizabethtown, Pa., Feb. 26. >From the Field. By the earnest request of the brethren and sisters of the Sandy church, I commenced a series of meetings in the Reading meeting-house, located two and a half miles east of Homeworth, and about two miles west of Georgetown,, Columbiana Co., Ohio. The meetings began on the evening of Feb. 2, and continued for two weeks, day and night. The roads were excellent, and the dear members were greatly interested in the noble work. The meetings grew more interesting every day, until their large house was completely packed with attentive listeners to the Word preached. We preached in all twenty-one sermons, including one funeral discourse. As an immediate result of our labors, three precious souls were united to the church by baptism. They all being young in years, I hope the dear members will carefully guard them, being ready to give encouragement, so that they may grow up as useful members in the Christian church, and find a place at last in the city not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, whose Builder and Maker is God. I feel glad that the ranks of Satan are being broken and the church strengthened. Allow me, dear Brethren, to urge you always to work for the overthrow of sin in every form, and your labor in the Lord will not be in vain. What an encouragement to work! I thank the members and community for their good attention and excellent deportment during the meetings. Reuben Shroyer. Pierce, Ohio. >From Dry Creek, Linn Co., Iowa. We met in quarterly council Feb. 25. Quite a number of the brethren and sisters were present. All the business was disposed of in a Christian way. How glad we should be when we thus meet! It is encouraging. The District Meeting will be held at this church May 24. We concluded to have our love-feast on the 25th,-the day after the District Meeting. This gives a better opportunity to those who will stay with us during our meeting. We are trying to have a social prayer-meeting this winter. Our dear old sister, Rachel Stamy, wanted us to meet every two weeks at her home, to have these meetings. Her cancer is troubling her, so that she does not get to church at all. It is as great an enjoyment to us to go there and hear her talk, as to her to have us come. She feels lonely living, as she does, with her mute sister. When we last parted she said, "I am waiting for the Master's call! Remember me in your prayers!" Oh, how happy we would be, could we all say, "I am ready when he calls." My prayer is, Remember us all! Jennie B. Miller. >From Middletown, Md. As previously arranged, Bro. D. C. Moomaw came to Broad Run Feb. 9. He commenced meetings in the evening, and closed on the evening of the 24th, after preaching nineteen sermons. With little exception the weather was favorable and the attendance good. As an immediate result, twelve were received by baptism and others are near the kingdom. Bro. Moomaw preaches the Gospel very zealously and effectively, and shuns not to declare the whole counsel, yet does it in such a way that those who differ most widely from him in doctrine, do not become offended. He endeared himself not only to the brethren and sisters, but to others also, and his labors were highly appreciated. May God ever be strength and wisdom to him and continue to bless his labors! Broad Run is on the east side of South Mountain, Md., and is a part of the Brownsville congregation, under the care of Eld. Emmanuel Slifer. David Ausherman.

>From the Wolf Creek Church, Ohio. Dear Brethren: We closed a series of meetings held in the Wolf Creek church by Bro. James Quinter, which was the first series of meetings ever held in this church. Brother James preached eight sermons at the upper house and seven at the lower. The meeting at the upper house was not so well attended on account of the inclement weather and the roads almost impassable. The meeting at the lower house was a good one ; good attendance and attention. There were no additions, but we think many were made to say-dike one of old, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." It was truly a revival among the brethren and sisters, and a building up of the church in the eyes of the people, for some had begun to look upon the traditions of men that heretofore existed among us as an evil. But the meetings did not continue long enough at any one place to see the fruits of our labors. In bonds of affection. Feb 26. J. B. Musselman. An Earnest Inquirer. Dear Primitive: I did not take the P. C. last year for various reasons, and I missed it very much. I could hardly do without it. Some time past I received but one number. O how glad I was to get it, I hastily perused its pages and I felt that I had lost a great deal by not taking it last year. Dear brethren, I sometimes feel much discouraged. It seems so me that the brethren never will succeed in sending out their ministers where they are so badly needed. We have to go fifteen miles to our meeting. Bro. Funk is our minister and he is getting old and is not able to fill near all the calls. I often wonder why so many of our brethren cannot see that it is their duty to send out ministers to preach the Gospel. There are many here that have never heard the Brethren preach, and some I believe might be convinced of the truth, but how can they hear without a preacher? and how can they preach except they be sent ? O, dear brethren, I fear that many of us will be weighed in a balance and found wanting. Here the popular churches of the day are holding their protracted meetings all around us, and every Sunday their social and prayer-meetings and Sunday-schools, but where are the Brethren? Not one of them here to preach or say one word for the cause of Christ and the salvation of souls. Our children are drifting into other churches and why? Because they hear nothing else preached. Dear brethren, I leave this subject with you but I cannot express my feelings in regard to it. Your unworthy sister in Christ. Christiana Imbler. >From Indiana Creek Church, Iowa. Dear Primitive: The ark of the Lord is still moving on in this part of God's moral vineyard. The harvest truly is great and the laborers few, yet we are glad to know that there are those around us who are willing to enlist and become soldiers of the cross. On the evening of January 31st, brethren I. Thomas and J. Seibert commenced a series of meetings at the Green Valley school-house. They remained with us two days. The meeting was continued by our home ministers up to the 7th of February. The attendance was good. One precious soul was willing to forsake sin and turn to the Lord. On the 8th of February we began a series of meetings in our meeting-house. Brethren E. Eby and B. F. Miller were with us on the 9th and held forth the word with power. Three more precious souls were willing to be buried in baptism. Others are seriously counting the cost. We realize that their mission of love among us was not in vain, as the members have been strengthen and bound together in the bonds of love and peace. May God add his blessings. Feb. 19th, '82. Lizzie Higgs. >From the White Oak Church, O. Dear Primitive: One has been added to our number since last report of church news, although it has been some time since. Our meetings in muddy and rainy weather are sometimes poorly attended ; but we believe the members are trying to grow in grace. When sisters of three score years and ten walk two miles through mud and rain to our social meetings, it inspires us with courage. We have been waiting long and patiently to hear from the brethren to whom we were looking for a series of meetings this winter. Yours in the hope of a better life, Feb. 28th, '82. C. F. Detweiler. [Note from Wayne: This is Christian Fisher Detwiler who was born near Clover Creek, moved to Indiana, Ohio and the Dakotas before eventually ending up somewhere in Huntingdon county, Penn.] >From the Sandy Creek Church, W. Va. Dear Primitive: Our church is in a prosperous condition. Thirty-five have been added since the holidays and one to be baptized next Saturday. Many others are counting the cost. We are not troubled with the two extremes as some of our beloved brethren. We stand with A. M. which we think is on Gospel principles, and we feel to maintain those principles. We trust our beloved Brotherhood will labor for the peace and prosperity of the church. Your brother, Solomon Buckalew. Feb. 22nd. >From Willow Springs, Kan. Dear Primitive: The Church here is in fair standing. Since the division both parties seem to be satisfied, and all is peace and harmony. Have had very nice weather all the winter. The wheat looks very nice. Never had better prospects for a crop. Health very good. E. W. Flory. >From Roanoke County, Virginia. Dear Primitive: Read and reflect on the following extract from a dear brother in Kansas: "Elder Siler from Ohio preached long and loud on the cause of the divide, on a visit here recently and said that Jesus was nine feet from the table when he rose to wash feet, as the text says 'he arose from and from is opposite of near, and said further that the term 'ready and prepared' in Mark 14 : 15, 16 does not mean that supper was on the table at the time of feet-washing. His preaching seemed to confirm his brethren in their belief." Comment is unnecessary. May a merciful God save the world from the fatal effects of such silly and nonsensical teaching and remove Christians from such misguided men. Fraternally, D C. Moomaw. Money Received by J. P. Blue. Dear Brethren: Please acknowledge through your paper the receipt of the following donations: Henry Frantz, Daniels Creek Ch., O., $ 6.00 J. S. Danner, Woodland Church, Ill., 8.60 H. P. Strickler, Grundy Church, Iowa, 14.95 Samuel Frantz, Willow Springs, Kan., 6.00 J. F. Rairiah, Thornapple Ch., Mich., 10.00 M. Crumrine, Junction City, Kan., 5.00 A charitable sister, Leighton, Iowa, 1.00 J. M. Smith, Woodland Church, Mich., 5.00 We are truly thankful, dear brethren, and hope that what you have given may be returned to you ten fold. Yours in Gospel love, J. P. BLUE. >From the Hamilton Church, Mo. Dear Primitive: We are still trying to worship God in spirit and in truth. We have two meetings a month. At the present time we number about twenty members. Some have moved away. Eld. George Whitwer and family moved to South Bead, Indiana, last Fall. The church is under the care of Eld. C. C. Root. We say with Paul of old, "Come over and help us." We have a good farm and stock country. Brethren passing through Missouri stop off at Hamilton. The writer lives two and three quarter miles from Hamilton. Up to February 18th the winter was very mild, but since that date it has been cold with some snow. Fraternally yours, D. C. Hardman. >From York, Neb. Dear Primitive: We have had quite a change in the weather during the last few days. Yesterday it was cold, with a high wind from the north ; to-day and last night it commenced snowing, and is now quite stormy and disagreeable to be out. We are still well pleased with the PRIMITIVE CHRISTIAN, and, as far as we can learn, it is much appreciated by all its patrons in Nebraska. We had an addition to our little band of believers here by immigration, and we expect several more from West Virginia in a week. God bless your labors. Your brother in Christ. J. S. Snowberger. [Note from Wayne: Yes, another Morrison's Cove region gentleman.] >From the Nettle Creek Church, Ind. Dear Primitive: On the 18th inst. brother Jacob Rife came to this congregation, and held a series of meetings until the 25th, closing at night. Preached twice each day, with two exceptions. During these meetings the Gospel was held forth in its primitive purity. Many were made to feel the responsibility resting upon them while they neglect the Gospel. And we know that we were built up and encouraged. It was therefore a profitable meeting to all. Two young souls came forth and were baptized. Others said that they would soon come, also. May God spare them and quicken them. Yours in the bonds of love, Feb. 26th, '82. Lewis W. Teeter. [Note from Wayne: Yet another.] >From Shieldler, Ind. Dear Primitive: I have been holding meetings here for several days. The weather and bad roads are against the meetings, yet there is a good interest. Some are becoming alarmed and are turning to the Lord for refuge. Others are encouraged and rejoicing. When we close here I will cease my labors in the field, for a while, and recuperate my laxed energies. Have averaged one sermon a day for three months, and wavering strength says, "Stop here." The course of the PRIMITIVE in regard to divisions is generally approved. Fraternally yours, D. B. Gibson. >From the Tippecanoe Church, Ind. Dear Primitive: Bro. Davis Younce and I are holding a meeting in North Webster, at the place where I held the Discussion in February 1881. We are having excellent attention and good interest. Baptized three precious souls-application for one to be received back who had for many years been out of the church. Her husband said "I think I must come along with her." We pray and hope for a great work to be accomplished ere we close. A. H. Butterbaugh. Feb 22nd. [Note from Wayne: Yet another.]

Evening List, I wish to thank one and all for your thoughts and comments. I have answered several personally and my apologies to those who I could not devote the time to address in the same manner. Time is limited with an ongoing project nearing completion and thus demanding my personal attention. More on this project in the upcoming weeks. My chief reason for bringing the subject of dissenting voices to the attention of others was because I felt that the list administrators needed to know the thoughts of their respective members. A thought not expressed is a thought not heard by others! All it takes is one bad apple to ruin the barrel, so to speak, unless attention is brought to bear. And since many lists are comprised of members who do not take an active participation (lurkers), others may not know their thoughts on the matter. 'Nuff said! This posting will be in two parts. Furthermore, in an attempt to address a comment somewhat stating that none of the postings pertained to Pennsylvania, or a specific county in particular, I will interject at times to point out those who I am aware of who have a specific relationship to my much beloved Morrison's Cove in Bedford and Blair counties, Pennsylvania. Warmest Regards, Wayne Webb >From Conrad, Grundy Co., Iowa. Dear Primitive: On the 18th of February we had a thunder shower with sharp lightning. It struck the United Brethren church in Conrad, knocked about half of the steeple off and damaged it otherwise to the amount of $100. George Klein. >From Dixon, Lee county, Illinois. Dear Primitive: We have had a pleasant winter, but a little snow and scarcely any rain until now. We have had considerable sickness and death. We wish you success in your grand and glorious work. In Christian love, Feb. 29. S. R. Brallier. [Note from Wayne: This is Susannah R. 'Wareham' Brallier (1845-1928) born in the greater Morrison's Cove area. The Brallier and Wareham families have long been residents of the Morrison's Cove area.] To the Brethren of North-western Ohio. It will be remembered that at our last D. M. there were several requests for a Poor and Orphan's Home in North-western Ohio, and the District Meeting advised the several housekeepers to lay the matter before their respective congregations, and report the sentiment of church to the next District Meeting, and as the time for holding our councils preparatory to D. M. is about here, we wish to call the attention of the housekeepers to the matter. Hope all the delegates to District Meeting will be prepared to answer for their respective congregations on the subject. L. H. Dickey. Fostoria, Ohio. >From Michigan City, Indiana. Dear Brethren: In church matters we are getting along very well. During the past two months thirty-two have been added to the church. Brother Jacob Cripe came among us and preached a while with the above good result. The Lord be praised for the great and good work done in his name. Feb 27. R. J. Shreve. >From Warnock, Belmont Co., Ohio. Dear Primitive: I commenced a meeting near this town on the 26th inst. To-night our meeting is in this village. The weather has been quite pleasant for a few days. This vicinity is quite hilly and rough, but the people are very clever and live well. I expect to return home this week. Yours in hope. Feb. 28. John Nicholson. >From Lyndon, Kansas. Dear Primitive: We had a few enjoyable meetings in this vicinity the latter part of January, conducted by brother George Myers of Miami Co., and the home brethren. No additions, but our few isolated members were instructed and very much encouraged, and good impressions were made, for which we feel very thankful to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Fraternally, Feb. 14th. W. M. Wise. >From Peabody, Kansas. Dear Primitive: We little thought the move that took form in Ohio last August would ever effect our quiet little church here, but the dark cloud from Miami Valley has even reached us. Eight members have withdrawn, four men and their wives, one elder, one minister in second degree, and two deacons. We meet as before but we miss them. Their seats are vacant and their voices not heard; not one of them come to worship with us today. While contemplating the situation the language of Jesus to Simon came forcibly to my mind, "Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat." O, how the church is being sifted to-day! We trust, however, most of the wheat does and will remain. By the grace of God we shall move steadily forward. We hope soon to have our ranks filled. The Brethren elsewhere who have passed through similar difficulties, have our tender sympathies. Affectionately, G. W. Thomas. [Note from Wayne: The second sentence wherein it references the Miami Valley of Ohio is a reference to the schism out of which arose the Brethren Church (a.k.a. Ashland Brethren, Progressive Brethren) long associated with Henry Ritz Holsinger. This schism has its roots in the activities of H. R. Holsinger at the Berlin, Somerset county, Pennsylvania, congregation. Note also that in reading this news item that the four men who withdrew, taking their wives with them, were the aforementioned elder, minister and two deacons. Otherwise the count would have been larger than stated.]

Hi Caroline, Here's one I know about from my wife's family. John K. Taylor: source Evelyn Roxie Taylor, an older cousin. She is the only dau of Simon Luther Taylor and Nina May Lockard. Evelyn is the gt.granddaughter of John K. Taylor of Coaldale, Mary Jane McFarland 1853-1896, John Weest (of Altoona, buried at Oak Ridge, lower Weest plot), and Mary Elizabeth Ritchey Johnson (buried at Coaldale). *** Miner John K. Taylor was born Mar 22, 1852 in Scotland. He "died quite young" in a mine accident ("cave-in") on Jan 24, 1881 and is buried at Duvall. John K. Taylor's parents were: John Taylor Sr. and Agnes Taylor of Coaldale. Both were born in Scotland and they were buried at Duvall. John Taylor Sr was a coal miner operator. John K. Taylor is related to Alexander Taylor of Scotland and Coaldale. Alex's wife was Martha J. Long and they were also buried at Duvall. I don't know any details of what mine John K. Taylor died in or where the mine was located. Paul Beauregard Researched: Taylor, McFarland, Sleighter, Ritchey, Weest of Altoona, Hoeffler, Swartz, and Fluck.

I'm looking for information on the death of Elizabeth J. Warner who married Jacob P. Warner of Hollidaysburg. Elizabeth was born to Michael and Mary McCarthy in Washington Twp., Cambria County in 1858. She was also known as Eliza J. Jacob died in 1921 Their children were: Frank, Howard, George, Ellsworth who died in 1945; Mary, Jacob Jr., Bessie who married John Albright; Joseph who died in 1919 and Margaret. In the 1900 census for Gaysport, Eliza J is 41 years of age. In the 1910 census Jacob is a widower. So, Elizabeth died somewhere in there. >From the other obits I have it looks like the family were members of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Gaysport. Thanks for any info on this ancestor.

Rife's address has been changed from Jalapa, Grant Co., Ind., to Somerset, Wabash Co., same State. Bro. J. W. Jarboe has changed his address from Pleasant Grove, Kan., to Lawrence, same State. Those wishing to write to him, will please note this change. Bro.

David Priddy has been lying in a helpless condition for nine months, and that old sister Holler is also in a very feeble condition. May the Lord sustain these pilgrims in their afflictions. [Note from Wayne: Sister Holler was Eld. Priddy's mother-in-law, Mary 'Leedy' Holler] Bro. J. S. Mohler moves to Morrill, Kan., and will labor in the Master's cause at that place. His correspondents will take notice that his address is changed from LaDue, Henry Co., Mo., to Morrill, Brown Co., Kan. Bro. G. W. Gibson, Girard, Ill., informs us that Bro. A. W. Vaniman preached several sermons for them before he started for Texas. They have received eight by baptism into the Macoupin Creek church during the past year. A letter from Bro. L. E. Fahrney, of the Salem church, Reno Co., Kansas, says, Brethren J. D. Trostle and Lemuel Hillery were with them, laboring for the Master. Four were added to the Church by baptism, four by letter, and others are almost persuaded. Bro. Landon West preached from Feb. 20th to 26th for the Brethren at Donell's Creek church, Ohio. Good impressions were made. Since New Year's nine have united with the Church. Bro. David Leatherman was forwarded to the second degree of the ministry. We glean from Bro. A. F. Ziegler. [Note from Wayne: Make note of this one Gale] Bro. A. S. Lahman, of Melbourne, Iowa, met with a painful and serious accident Feb. 23. He was attending a public sale in his neighborhood, and, while looking at the horses, one of them kicked him, injuring him severely. He was kindly cared for, and taken to his home, where, under the prompt application of remedies, and the care of family and friends, he is fast recovering. Bro. William Mallory, of Cartersville, Cumberland Co., Va., makes a strong appeal for a minister to come and help labor for them. There are fifteen of them without a shepherd. He says, "We had a speaker last year-Bro. Sutton, but the Lord saw fit to take him away, and now we are without a minister. We have been trying for these many years to get some one to come, but have failed. We had six additions here last summer, the fruits of Bro. Sutton's labors, and much good may be done by a good, faithful brother."We hope our Virginia brethren will look after the wants of this isolated band of faithful members. Sister Eliza Swab, a poor widow of Lanark, Ill, would like to have a good place for a little boy eight years old. She would be willing to let some of the brethren take him and keep him until he is of age, for his board and clothes. The home ministers in many parts of the Brotherhood have done, and are doing, a good work this winter. They find that by putting their trust in the Lord and going to work to save sinners, the Lord blesses their efforts, and numbers are brought to Christ. Bro. A. Hutchison writes from Oak Hill, Va., under date of Feb. 26, as follows: "This will inform your readers that I expect to leave here on my homeward journey the first day of March. Will stop with the Brethren in Ohio a few days. I aim to reach Chicago by the 13th, and will spend a few days with the Father's children there. Thence to Mt. Morris, and will spend the rest of the time, until April, in Northern Illinois, as they may arrange. I wish to reach home by April 6." Bro. J. D. Haughtelin, of Panora, Iowa, writes us that sister Catharine Walter, one of the original eight members of the organization of what is known as the Coon River church, is quite ill with a severe and dangerous cancer. She called for the elders and received the anointing according to the direction of the apostle, Feb. 26. She and her husband desire the prayers of the faithful. Sister W. is a sister to P. J. Brown, widely known among the Brethren. Bro. C. P. Long, formerly of Cerro Gordo, Ill., writes us that they have reached their new home in Texas safely. He says, "I wish to express my love and gratitude to the members at Cerro Gordo for their kindness to us while we were with them. We will hold them in kind remembrance while memory lasts. We wish to correspond with Brethren at Williams Creek and Live Oak, Texas. If they will kindly address me at Payne's Store, Hunt Co., Texas, I shall be glad to write to them. Bro. S. J. Harrison has this to say on the matter of matrimonial notices: "The marriage and death notices, I always look over. It is a matter of news, allowable in a religious paper, because an institution of the church. A certain degree in the ministry being required, before any member is allowed or appointed to solemnize marriage ceremonies, certainly shows that the church is interested in the marriage of its members and their children, and few others ever ask space.
