I would like to give you my new email address so that I can continue to receive your messages and obits. My old address was [email protected] My new address: [email protected] Thank you so much. Peg "FOX" Schroeder

Hi Sis, Here's another bunch of obits. My little ringer that was my dialer to get online has not worked since he "updated" my computer. I'd like to give him an update, you can guess for yourself where. I could tell when it was dialing, but no sound now. When I called him this am, he had me look several places in various "properties" lists, but we could not find anything that was disconnected. Got any ideas. That twert "doesn't know about dial-ups" is from the "DSL generation". I liked my ringer as I could tell if it was working or if one of my phone wires was not working. Now I can't tell.

The Titusville Herald, June 11, 2007: Tionesta Woman, 93, Dies In Fire At Her Home A Tionesta woman died in a fire at her home early Sunday. Forest County Coroner Norman J. Wimer responded to the scene at 120 S. Elm St. in Tionesta Borough. Maxine Mckee, 93, of Tionesta was found in an undisclosed area of her home apparently succumbing to smoke from the fire and was pronounced dead at the scene by the coroner at 2:53 a.m., Wimer said. Mrs. Mckee lived alone. The fire, which was reported by a passerby at 1:51 a.m., appears to have started on the first floor of the home, Wimer said. "At this point nothing of a suspicious nature has been found either by myself or by the fire marshal, however the concurrent investigation is ongoing." Wimer said. "It appears Mrs. Mckee succumbed by carbon monoxide poisoning due to smoke inhalation." said Wimer. However, a final ruling won't be released for at least a few days to allow the investigation to come together. The structure was a total loss. Among those at the scene were Tionesta Volunteer Fire Department and West Hickory Volunteer Fire Department, along with the Pennsylvania State Police and the state fire marshal, along with the Tionesta Ambulance Service.> From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:28:08 -0400> Subject: [PACLARIO] Obituaries, The Derrick, June 11, 2007> > The Derrick, June 11, 2007:> > > Charles I.

Lerch was in the 8th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry (3 months, 1861). http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&gsfn=&gsln=Lerch&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-c&gskw=Union I 105 Pennsylvania&sbo=1&recid=3285152&recoff=2 13 30 32 41&db=NPS_civilwarsoldiers&indiv=1 He then joined the 105th Pennsylvania Inf in Company I. History of the 105th PA: http://www.pa-roots.com/~pacw/infantry/105th/105thorg.html I found a journal wrote by Robert I. Boyington where twice he mentions B F Lerch who was my g g g grandfather. Benjamin was married to Valina Coleman. He also mentions some other Lerch's that I am wondering if there are any connections to Benjamin. http://www.robert-ford.ws/105 PA 1863.htm Benjamin was wounded in the battle of the Wilderness on May 5 and died later around May 14. http://www.pa-roots.com/~pacw/infantry/105th/casualtiesaug31864.html Isaac Benjamin Denton who was in the 5th PA Reserve was also in the same battle. He mustered out sometime during the battle and may have been wounded. He later married Benjamin Lerch's daughter Mary Louisa Lerch. I am looking for clues as to where Benjamin Lerch is buried. If anyone would have any clues as to where the wounded were taken after the battle of the Wilderness or where they might be buried I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
