Hi, I am related to this line through my maternal grandfather - James Blaine Kelley. His mother was Velma Mae Kiser daughter of Willard Edwin Kiser and Naoma Easton. I've been working on my Doutt line (maternal grandmother's family), when I got an email from Linda Jemmett the other day. She posted a bunch of photo's not long ago, from this cemetery on Findagrave, and sent me a message that I had posted the information in the wrong cemetery. I'm not from Missouri, but since I had some written documentation, I felt the need to check it out before just changing it on her say so alone - always document everything. Earl Hitt did some pretty extensive research as this was one of his wife's lines. He compiled information and published it a number of years ago based on Avalyn Kiser's research. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Connie Raybuck" <craybuck@windstream.net> To: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com>; <paclario@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 12:12 PM Subject: Re: [PACLARIO] Address for Pleasant Hills Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery > gc-gateway@rootsweb.com wrote: >> This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. >> >> Author: janetaba1 >> Surnames: Kiser >> Classification: cemetery >> >> Message Board URL: >> >> http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.clarion/4043/mb.ashx >> >> Message Board Post: >> Janet, > These are the same cemetery.

Born July 10, 1918, in Oil City, he was a son of the late K. Glenn and Rhoda L. Warren Kugler. As a small child, he grew up on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma and then moved to Pennsylvania with his family. He attended Cranberry High School and was an "honorary graduate", then graduated from Oil City High School. Mr. Kugler was a veteran of World War II. He served in the U.S. Army, where he was a first sergeant and received a Purple Heart, Bronze Star with Oak Leaf, and a Combat Infantry Badge. He was in the Battle of the Bulge, Argon Forest Campaign and the color guard marching under the Eiffel Tower in Paris at the victory of liberating the French.

Mr. Kugler was a 50-year member of Rouseville United Methodist Church, Rouseville Volunteer Fire Department, Fraternal Lodge No 483 F&AM in Rouseville and the Titusville VFW.

He was an on-air personality for the Erie TV stations and Japanese broadcasting concerning the oil industry and Pennzoil Refinery events. Mr. Kugler enjoyed both bow and gun hunting as well as fishing. Fond memories well into his 80s can be recalled: his auto trips to Chicago to visit his daughter and family, "up in a tree at 83" pruning branches, and painting one side each year of his sprawling home in Rouseville. He was fondly known to his neighborhood children as "the whistler." Some of his "after retirement" activities included his grandchildren, assisting with the tornado victims in the 1980s, and visiting with friends and acquaintances in their homes, hospitals and nursing rehab centers. He also assisted local authors in recalling his adventures in World War II. He and his wife loved to travel and went on several bus tours, some lasting weeks at a time.

Gertrude Beatrice Cook Limber, a former resident of the Franklin area, died Monday, April 11, 2009, in Monterey, Calif., surrounded by her family. Trudy was born July 7, 1919, the only child of Warren and Esther (Blair) Cook of Franklin. She wrote of her childhood in her hometown: "I remember the sassafras root Dad used to bring home from the woods; when summer came Dad made root beer especially for me with the same equipment he used to make his 3.2 home-brew in the days of Prohibition. "On the Pittsburgh Road, my Mom's hens were fenced in a large coop to protect their peeps; they had lots of good food and water available all the time, but after work and on weekends they were let out of jail. Friday, after work, Dad would sharpen up his hatchet and chop off the heads of the number of chickens ordered while Mom brought a tub of water to boil; then the two of them would douse the victims to loosen their feathers and pluck them. Her customers enjoyed the three-mile drive out from town on Saturday to get their Sunday dinner." Trudy took her nursing training at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. In 1940 she moved to Baltimore to work at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. During a visit home, Trudy's father introduced her to Bob Limber, who was a fishing buddy of his. They were smitten. Trudy later wrote: "...he asked me to marry him. Well. he almost did - but his actual words were, 'If I were in a position, I'd ask you to marry me,' to which I responded, 'What's the matter with your position?' And he said, 'You know, the war and all, it's really not a good idea.' And, of course, I didn't agree." They were always a team. When a new job and the warm climate called Bob and Trudy to Los Angeles in 1954, they sold everything they owned in Pennsylvania and moved west. By 1961 they were thinking of getting away from the hustle and bustle and moved to Carmel on California's central coast where they semi-retired: Trudy wrote: "...once in Carmel we knew we wanted to live in the quaint, snug, small village by the sea. We called Jo Mora, met him at his house, looked at and put money down to buy The Silver and Leather Shop in Carmel. We had sailed off again on another adventure..." Those who knew her throughout her life will remember that Trudy was loyal to her friends and always courageous in adversity. She never turned away from an animal nor a friend who needed help. Trudy left priceless gifts to future generations of her family, including the legacy of decades of her investigation, here and abroad, on the family's genealogical history, meticulously documented and verified. During the 1980s, she rediscovered her love of writing and put down on paper the stories of some of the ancestors as she learned about them in her genealogy research. She also wrote her own "True Memories." Trudy was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lee Limber (1914-1971). She is survived by her five daughters, Susan, Sara, Amy, Barbara and Elisabeth; her sons-in-law; Loren Stirling, Lee Theberge, David Morrison and Stefano Arata; her grandchildren; Cory (Shiloh), Jason (Kerry), Stacy, Lael, Alexander, Robert, James and Susan; and her great-grandchildren, Mia, Megan and Declan.
