President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. When is Grandparents Day?This year Grandparents Day falls on Sept. 7thhttp://www.grandparents-day.com/ To start your day with a smile... She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!' ##### My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?' ##### After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?' ##### A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!' ##### My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo while I asked, 'No, how are we alike?' 'You're both old,' he replied. ##### A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.' ##### I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely,'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!' ##### When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.' ##### When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, 'I'm not sure.' 'Look in your underwear, Grandpa,' he advised. 'Mine says I'm four to six.' ##### A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies?''It's simple,' replied the girl. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.' ##### Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about a public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked. 'Sure,' said the young boy confidently 'It means carrying a child.' ##### A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. 'They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child. 'No,' said another, 'he's just for good luck.' A third child brought the argument to a close. 'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants... u-tube songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfp0zFYdJHc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JDob5otZ8k&NR Be the filmmaker you always wanted to be—learn how to burn a DVD with Windows®.

Deaths from The Register, Hollidaysburg, Blair Co., PA. THOMPSON - At Wilmore, Cambria county, on Wednesday, November 16, 1870, of typhoid fever, Austin Thompson, Esq., aged 72 years. The deceased was one of the old citizens of Cambria county, as respects both the number of his years and the length of his residence within the county. He was born in Connecticut but came to Pennsylvania with his parents in his youth, and to Cambria county in his early manhood where he found and married a wife who survives him. He came to the mountians between forty and fifty years ago- stopping for a year or so in or near Johnstown, and was assistant superintendent of the Allegheny Portage Rairoad during the Ritner administration in 1836-38. He took up his residence in Wilmore, on the mountain about 1857 where he was elected a Justice of the Peace and continued to reside until in the fullness of years and the respect of his fellow-citizens, death claimed him as his own and removed him hence to his eternal rest. Mr. Thompson was widely and familiarly known among the older citizens of this county. Possessing an intelligent mind of his own, with strong and very decided religious and political opinions, which he never hesitated to express, and when seemed called upon to defend. He always manifested a lively interest in public affairs and until a late day, took an active part in political campaigns, where his force of character gave him considerable influence. For a number of years he has suffered the infirmities of old age, being confined to his room and much of his time to his bed with inflamatory rheumatism. His remains were brought to this place for interment with his kindred, attended by a delegation of the Odd Fellows' society, and his old neighbirs of Wilmore. His only child - Lucy Thompson - is the estimable and excellent wife of William H. Gardner, Esq., cashier of the First National Bank of this place.

I looked at Catherine Kaylor in the 1860 census. She is living in Allegheny Twp, aged 65 [1795] in the household of James & Mary Dawson and kids. A 17 yr old Rebecca Kaylor is in the same household. In 1850 census, Allegheny Twp, she is in this household: (my clue here was daughter Rebecca) KAYLOR, Jacob; 60; farmer; b PA Catherine; 55; b PA James; 26; Laborer; b PA Mary; 20; b PA Catherine; 20; b PA Francis; 15; b PA Robert; 12; b PA Hennetta; 10; b PA Rebecca; 8; b PA Looks like husband Jacob died before 1860, and daughter Rebecca stayed with mother Catherine, moving to the home of Catherine's daughter Mary, then married to James Dawson. Of course all is based on but 2 census records.

On Thursday the Commissioners appointed Lyman Sherbine of Croyle township, Mercantile Appraiser for the coming year. The storm of sleet on Monday night caused many telegraph and telephone wires in this vicinity to break, interrupting business.

A reward of $50 has been offered for Magoulis’ body. On Wednesday night fire broke out in the kitchen of the Catholic parsonage at Gallitzin, occupied by Rev. Father Deasy, formerly of Ebensburg, but was extinguished before much damaged resulted. The fire is supposed to have resulted from a defective flue. A slight freight wreck occurred Saturday morning near AG tower, a short distance west of Kittanning Point. The wreck was the result of a run in and the pilot and headlight of an engine was smashed and several cars were broken. No one was injured. There are three applicants for the position of Commissioner’s clerk, which the new board of County Commissioners will be called upon to fill, John C.

On last Sunday the new Methodist Episcopal church at Delaney (Baker’s Mines) was dedicated with appropriate services as a place of worship.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company has issued an order that its employees must not engage in any other business while in the service of the railroad. The position taken by the railroad is that it is entitled to the full time of the employees while they are at work and that outside interests detract from the value of their services. Restaurants, coal yards, grocery stores and even, on the quiet, saloons along the line of the road are said to be backed by some of the trainmen. On Thursday, November 20th at Gallitzin, Andrew McCloskey, just in from a hunting trip, was standing with both hands over the mouth of his shotgun when the piece was discharged by his foot coming in contact with the trigger.

Since that operation gangrene developed in the stump of the left hand and last week the forearm was amputated between the elbow and the wrist. Conductor Patrick Riley was perhaps fatally injured Thursday night of last week at Hull, Westmoreland county, by being run down by his own engine.

In a suit in the Blair county court last week Mrs. Clara Myers endeavored to recover her widow’s exemption money of $300 from her dead husband’s estate. Prior to her husband’s death, Mrs. Myers left him and wrote him a letter of which the following is an extract: ”I have left you forever, and hope never to see your face again.” This letter was offered in evidence in court against her claim and Judge Bell, in his opinion, held that the wife, by deserting her husband, had forfeited her claim to a widow’s exemption. Messrs. Philip Huffman and Joseph Priser, of Blacklick township were visitors to Ebensburg on Tuesday. _________________________________________________________________ Get thousands of games on your PC, your mobile phone, and the web with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588800/direct/01/
