Hello list. An ancestor, Charles Siegfried is buried in Portersville Bible Church Cemetery located in Muddy Creek Township Rt. 488 east of Portersville. 1. Is Bible Church the name of a particular religion? 2. How can I order a death certificate? Thanks for your help. Roseline in Canada

Hello Everyone; I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we had today. I'm on another hunt. Can anyone help me with the name John SCHREINER b. 3 Aug 1891 d. 14 May 1960 The only thing I remember about him his I believe he painted the alter back ground in St. Michael's church on Center Ave. If anyone can give the back ground of that painting and a copy of an old postcard (I can't find mine any more) I would really like that. Thank You GRAYHAIRGRANY@AOL.COM Bonnie

I do not know about the names you had listed, but I am searching for my Gt Gt Gt grandfather Jonathan Young who was born about 1790 in Butler Co. He married in Butler Co. a Rachel Ozombaugh. They had several children in PA: Eliza Ann b abt 1825, Simon A. J. b Dec 7, 1820, Margaret J b abt 1830, Susanne b abt 1835, Nuseanah (Rose Ann) b Oct. 22, 1839. All were born in PA. By 1846 the family was in Wapello Co., Iowa. I would very much like to know more about the Young and Ozombaugh families. Sorry I don't know about the names you listed. I thought maybe they moved west too, but didn't find the names in Iowa. Thanks, Linda

Hello: If you are researching Brown surname in Butler Co., PA can I enlist your attention. Andrew R. Brown was b. abt. 1824 in Butler Co, Pa. He married 6 Sep 1853 Catherine E. McIntire. He died 2 Nov 1862 of camp fever/dysentary while serving with Co F, 134 Pa Vol Inf, under Capt W. O. Breckenridge. Catherine filed for pension 2 Sep 1863 certif # 78.675. The 1860 Fed Pa Census, Butler Co, Worth Twp lists an Andrew R. Brown 36, day laborer, Catherine 29, Mary Jane 6, John 4, George 1. In the 1850 Fed census he is living with (brother, I believe) Ebenezer Brown & Hannah Watt Brown. In the 1880 Fed Pa Census, Worth, Butler, Pa Catherine E. Brown 49, widow Pa., Anna W. Gallager, 19 dau., b. Pa. Catherine lived at New Castle, Pa. at the time of her death according to CW pension papers. Their children Mary Jane b. 29 Sep 1854, John Glenn b. 20 Jul 1856, George Washington b. 26 Jan 1859, Anna Wilhemina b. 27 Jan 1861. Mary Jane died in childhood. Anna W. Gallager 19 Pa. I believe Andrew R. Brown was the son of James & Jane Porter Brown of Harrisville, Mercer twp., Butler Co., Pa. He was called Ralston. I am researching both the families of James Brown and his brother Ebenezer who settled here in 1797. Also interested in Porter and Cross families of the same area. If any Brown researchers are able to shed any light on Andrew R. Brown, please contact me.

Debby, I have a correction on one of your Riders. The child you have listed below as "Henry Snyder Rider (1846-1926) was actually Henry SILAS Rider. His wife was Susannah E. Crawford, b. in Butler Co. in 1851. In most census records he is enumerated as Henry S. Rider, but in 1880 he was listed as Silas H. Rider.

Hello Jinny Good to hear from you. Unfortunately for you, yes, I do have 30 plus pages which is all I have so far on the Rider branch in Butler county. I say "unfortunate" because it is still too disorganized to send - some is not typed yet. So for starters, I'll send you one page. Keep bugging me. It might be the incentive to get me to be more diligent????? But, first, I'm finishing up a Riffle Genealogy that is ready to index. Do you still live in Butler county ? If you do, I got the entire Fleeger line from a book in the Butler library. So you could add that section easily enough with a trip to the library. And yes, send along the will; I can abstract what I need. I can't place William Coulter; would love to know where he fits. And need anything else you or the list can find. Thx to all.

Does anyone have any info on the family of Samuel Snyder & Margaret Halstead. They were married c1855? Be glad to share what I have.

Diane, The Butler Citizen was the main paper in the year 1914, although there are some early Butler Eagles on microfilm. You may email Luanne at the library and ask for your lookup. There is no charge for that, but a copy of the obit will cost you a quarter per page and the cost of postage. Pat

The Butler Public Library's genealogy department will look up obits for a donation. They prefer requests of no more than three at a time. Then another request can be made. One can look them up themselves, usually, for a quarter, unless it is a long obituary. It might take two, or more, quarters depending on prominence, length, or layout in the newspaper. An obit may be at the bottom of one column and continued at the top of the next column, or even continued to another page. That would entail zeroxing at least twice. In these cases the obit can be carefully cut out and put together to look like one. Scotch has a reuseable glue that is great. If you have a page of obits, one can be lifted and placed elsewhere, but only with "reuseable glue."

Is the Butler Eagle on microfiche for the period around April 13, 1914? If it is available who could I contact about a lookup for an obit. Diane

Was someone asking about a Dillie RUBY 1856-1884 recently? I remember seeing the surname but I'm not sure about her given name. -Mary maryliz1@attbi.com

Was just reading the e-mail listing Young's Funeral home and thought it might be worth sharing a great resource. Contact any funeral home and ask if they will let you have an old copy of their "National Yellow Book for Funeral Directors". It lists all of the funeral homes that are in the U.S., complete with addresses and telephone numbers. I have a copy and have found it very useful ... especially as the old funeral homes are usually still carried under their original family names even if they are under new ownership.
