I don't recall the Post while growing up. It may have been a weekly advertiser. The Morning Call was the paper in town everyone read and had their obits in. I couldn't tell about 1918 or so. Slatington library may be a good place to start. Mike

Hi Michael, I know there was an old paper in Palmerton up through the 1960's called the Palmerton Post. I don't know if there's old papers or micro films available. I'd like to find them too. I hear there's an old article on my grandfather before he died. My mother remembers this paper. There's also the Slatington News which is available at the Slatington Library. They're available on CD at the library from 1860's to the 1960's. There's not a lot of the Lower Towamensing area mentioned but every once in a while you'll find something -- especially after 1900, or if, forgive me, something especially gruesome happened.

The happy people of Palmerton don't have their own newspaper. They subscribe to the Morning Call out of Allentown. Mike Ledo

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone was familiar with newspapers that would have obituaries, etc. for people that lived in Lower Towamensing and Palmerton, as well as the dates when the paper was being published. I am interested in Lower Towamensing from the beginning of the 19th Century to the present and in Palmerton specifically from about 1918 to the present. Thanks! ~Michael Messinger~

Hi, Thanks for the info. Here is what I know. And I'll have to make a call to see what else I can find out. I'll get back to you on the Calvin line. No obits on Solomon Steigerwalt. The obits I have are from Slatington News. If you have any that you need looked up from there let me know. I have quite a few years worth of CD's that I've purchased now. The Ben Salem clan is just far enough to not register in Slatington News unless, it was some freak killing or suicide or something, especially before 1900. The info on Charlotte Frantz is great. I didn't know any of that. I have corresponded with Dale. He is a great researcher. He doesn't have much Rex stuff but he's been able to help me with the Green/Greenzweig line. My grandmother had 3 half siblings. Her mother's first husband was a McFarland and 2 of her sisters married Greens (brothers) and so that family is inter-tangled with mine quite a bit. He's been a big help. The Sarah Rex that married Lewis Frantz, I have a Sarah Rex, born abt. 1851, daughter of Daniel Rex and Lucy Ann Fritzinger. I just checked what I had on them for census and this is interesting, see below. They lived in East Penn twp. near Ben Salem. I wonder if Lewis was a grandson not a nephew?? Or do you have more info on this? 1870 census: East Penn Twp., Carbon Co., PA pg 57a, house #79, family #82 Daniel Rex, 44, M, W, Farmer, $13,000, real estate, $800 personal estate Lucy A., 43, F, W, keeping house, Sarah A., 19, F, W Rufina, 17, F, W Moses, 14, M, W Aaron, 11, M, W Dennis, 7, M, W Tilghman, 4, M, W (lived next door to Daniel and Christina, parents) 1880 census: David REX Self M Male W 52 PA Laborer PA PA Lucy A.

Michelle, Thank you for the reply. It is actually very helpful in that it confirms the vague feelings I have been getting about the situation of these two churches. I will keep trying to contact the churches by phone to learn more. However, I have thoughts about this that may mean a more complicated situation. The family ancestors before John Miller's generation tended to be members of Reformed or Union churches. I suspect that these generations spoke German at home, at church and school. They used the old German naming conventions for given names. The family surname was Muller with umlauts over the letter 'u' in earlier generations. John Miller and his siblings did not follow the German naming conventions with given names like Daniel, Elisabeth, John and Monroe. I am beginning to think that during this generation they made a shift from the Germanic influences to English. This would most likely have affected their choice in churches and schools. Our family history tells us that Charles Edwin Miller and some of his siblings were members of the Presbyterian Church. My limited understanding of religious history suggests that Presbyterianism is an anglicized version of the Reformed religion. John Miller and Elisa Andreas were married by what appears to be an itinerant Lutheran minister named Ernst August Bauer. I have seen his records and they just cover marriages and deaths. I suspect that the church/language transition I have theorized about may mean that Charles Edwin Miller's baptism could just as well have occurred in some unlikely church as the two churches mentioned above, or by another itinerant minister. One question I have: why does the microfilm edition of the Ben Salem baptisms stop at 1855? Was there something significant in church history at that time? Well, enough thinking out loud, but it does help to organize thoughts. Thanks again. By the way, the Sarah (Amanda) Miller you mentioned is Charles Edwin's eldest sister.

It contains their baptisms and burials. It's title is "Ben Salem Church, Growning Together Since 1797," it was published by their historical committee. I looked for a baptism for a Charles or Edwin Miller and I didn't see either. I also looked under all Millers for that birth date with no luck. I'm familiar with this area of Carbon Co. as it's where my mother's family is from. She grew up in Ashfield and much of my family is buried at Dinkey Cemetery. I've asked about baptism records at Dinkey and I haven't had any luck getting access to them. There's some published from years back at the library in either Easton or Lehigh Co.

My great grandfather, Edward Wilhelm Freiberg, came to Hauto with his grand parents in 1894. With them on the ship was the Rohde family who were also going to Hauto. They may have been related. My aunt recently informed me that her mother, Bertha Freiberg Calkins, used to go to Hauto in the fifties to visit her cousin, Ida Gibson. If anyone has a connection to these people or has any information about them, please contact me.

Michael, I have not worked on my genealogy for a number of years. I have Thomas Brown 10/18/1814-10/20/1876. His wife was Rebecka Stroup 10/13/1817-11/10/1906. Both are buried at St John's. Thomas was buried by Rev Barthalomew. They had children, Luciayette, Sarah Amendi, James, and Mary Jane. My GG Grandfather was Jacob Brown. He married Maria Magdalena Greenzweig first, Matilda Greenzweig, second, and Christiania Moyer Bollinger third. I would think they are somehow related as Jacob was born 1822 and also had children Mary Ann, Sarah, and James. They also were at St John's and married by Rev Bartholomew. Would be interested if you have anything on my BROWN family. I might have more if I know what you need. Hope this helps, Sylvia
