Hiya Columbia County Listers, As promised a few months ago, I'm starting a surname roll-call which will last until next Sunday night, September 8th. Please type your surnames, separated by commas, on the "Subject" line (if they fit) or at the very beginning of your message. Enter any particulars in the message area in short paragraph(s) afterwards. Remember ... to help other prospective "cousins" ... please be as specific as you can about dates and locations if you choose to include that information in a paragraph after your surname list. If you wish to respond to another's posting, please respond directly to that individual unless you feel it necessary to respond to the list also. Good hunting!

I'm new to the list and am wondering if there are any members who are researching the HAUER/HOWER line. Hans Michll Hower arrived in Philadelphia in 1737 and established a farm, in Berks County, by the early 1840s. My wife descends from his son Michael. His grandson, another Michael (1751-1824), is buried at the Union Cemetery, in Catawissa. Some of his children moved on to Numidia and beyond. Other surnames, that are connected and were or might have been in Columbia County, are: RHOADES/RHODES, KERN, OLWINE and FAUST. Thanks for any help. Bob Thompson Ps. Sorry if this is a double post. It bounced the first time and I can't understand what was wrong with the address.

Hello All, Over the years I have heard from various people that there is Native American blood in the YETTER line. Can anyone confirm this is true. While interested primarily in the Samuel Yetter - Maria Yocum line, any Yetter data will be welcome. My replies maybe delayed due to Alaskan vacation.

We would like to invite you to visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted a link to information about the COLUMBIA County Home and it's cemetery. We are really proud of a young member of your community -- Eagle Scout Ben James. At 16 years of age (last September) he rallied folks to clean up and publicly recognize the poorhouse cemetery. The story is told on the website of Tim (The Tired Warrier!) So we have linked to that website, borrowed some photos, and also featured Ben's story on our NEWS ALERTS page. Good going, Gang! (It is really nice to be able to report the good news that a community has decided to "do the right thing" ... even when a cemetery has originally been neglected. And Kudos to Tim ... who keeps on mowing the grass! DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on PENNSYLVANIA on the table of states, and COLUMBIA on the table of counties. If you have been to the website recently you may have to click REFRESH or RELOAD on the browser to see the new information. You will see an entry under HISTORICAL NOTES and under CEMETERIES. There is also a link to News Alerts on that homepage. There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

Thanks to all who have given me info on find my William ECKERD/ECKARD. I found out today, that he was listed as being a SURVIVING brother in his brother Harry's obit. Harry died in Feb 1944. William ECKERD/ECKARD and Bertha Laura ADELMAN must have been divorced around 1908. Laura listed herself as "widowed" in the 1910 census apparently to save face. Harry's obit says that he was born and reared in Almedia, and that William is from Millville. It also spells the last name as ECKARD. Now, how do I go about finding out their divorce date and information?

I find the following household in 1880 Census, Bloomsburg: Susan VANHORN Self 45 Laura ARMS Dau 18 Charles ARMS SonL 23 Barton VANHORN Son 20 I believe this Charles ARMS is the son of Augustus ARMS of Danville. (They are my 1g and 2g gf.) I would like to find out what happened to this marriage to Laura VAN HORN, and whether there were any children. By abt. 1890, Charles md. Rebecca GERHART, widow of George Thomas SHAY of Lebanon, PA. Charlie Parks Alexandria, VA

I have recently come in the possession of my grand parents and great grand parents pictures and artifacts and in them was a picture of a horse drawn oil tanker from the Atlantic Refining Company. I am not sure of any relative who worked for them but I am assuming it was a Columbia County thing. Does any one know about this company and if anyone has an interest I will be glad to send a scanned copy. It is a pretty neat picture. Sue

How difficult is it to find divorce records in the early 1900's? The only thing I have is a time frame of about 2 years. (Between 1908 and 1910) Just wondering how much trouble it would be. Thanks - Mary
