NEWSPAPER ARTICLE (...Gazette Publishing Co., Publi...) (VOL. XLV.) Celebrated First Mass Anthony Buchheit Ordained to Catholic Priesthood Sunday St. Marys Church was the scene of a solemn and at the same time joyous ceremony on Christmas Day, the occasion being the celebration of his First Holy Mass by Rev. Maurus Buchheit, O. S. B. Rev Buchheit is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alois Buchheit, of this city. At an early age he felt the call to holy orders and entered St. Vincent's College to begin his long a arduous preparation for his chosen life's work. He spent some time at St. Vincent's and then completed his course at the Benedictine College at Belmont, N. C. Here he was ordained priest Sunday, December 22nd, and immediately left for St. Marys to read his First Holy Mass in the same church in which he was baptized and in the presence of those nearest and dearest to him. Shortly before 10 o'clock all the Catholic societies of St. Marys church assembled at the Gymnasium and escorted Rev. Maurus from the priory to the church. Solemn High Mass was celebrated. Rev. Maurus has as his assistant Very Rev. Marinus , O. S. B., while Rev. Saitbert and Herbert performed the offices of Deacon and Sub-Deacon respectively. Very Rev. Marinus delivered an appropriate and eloquent sermon in the course of the services. The St. Marys male choir, under the direction of organist Prof. F. J. Lion, rendered Gunod's Mass in a very acceptable manner. The assistance of the city orchestra made the music a most attractive feature of the service. The bride of Rev. Maurus was Miss Leona Distler, while two little nieces of the celebrant acted as flower girls. After the conclusion of the service, the celebrant, his relations and a large... -- Julie Reese Bookser jrbookse@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello all, I did not receive any objections, so I am about to post 27 items, 26 obituaries and 1 newspaper article. I am hoping that this will generate some information sharing. If anyone out there has information about any of these people - or about any member of the Bucheit family - I would love to work with you. Have fun and happy hunting.

She could post whole obits up to 1930 anyway without it being a problem. The Clarion mailing list has been posting the daily obituaries from the Clarion newspaper for a couple of months now, and there haven't been any problems. In fact, it has been a great resource, and I've added quite a few names to my database that I wouldn't normally have had available to me. I won't tell. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: D.

Am searching for a Sarah Cole Hanes. Sarah's mother was a Cole, she was an indian and was from Rathbun, PA. Sarahs birth date is 11/13/1854 or 1851 and 1854 might be adoption year by the Hanes. her death is 2/12/1942. Sarah md. a Joseph M. Friedl and they were md. 2/25/1873 or 74. Am looking for more information on Sarahs early life. Was there an Indian Village or reservation in or near Rathbun, PA??? Best I can see, Rathbun, PA falls into the Elk County area. Thank you for any help in this matter, Ginny

Sandy, Thanks much for both messages. I must say this is one very responsive mailing list . My first foray - and I must have had six responses in 24 hours. All suggestions on how to be more efficient are welcomed. Do you know of any online History's of Elk County (of the "personsonages type") - or are there earlier and later additions of Beers? Also do you know of the existence of any catalogued photo archives (private or otherwise) from former studios or entrepreneur photo journalists that operated in the area around the 1840's? What are your favorite search engines/sites for online genealogy research? tom ----- Original Message ----- From: <Bgraphite@aol.com> To: <PAELK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 8:39 AM Subject: Re: [PAELK] HAU - KERSEY - 1800 to 1950 > Tom - > > Beer's "History of the Counties of McKean, Elk..., etc." page 762 has this > info: > > "Andrew Hau, farmer, P.

Tom - I should have added that Hau probably appears as "Howe" in the 1850 and 1860 census records. If you want to know what their farm was like in 1860, the Elk County Historical Society has the agricultural census listing for "A. Howe". I am sure they would provide this info for a nominal fee. Sandy

Tom, I have an Andrew HAU married to Kathryn SPANGLER. Is this the one your looking for? I have his birthday as November 4, 1859 but not where he was born.

Tom - Beer's "History of the Counties of McKean, Elk..., etc." page 762 has this info: "Andrew Hau, farmer, P. O. Kersey's, was born in Fox township, Elk Co., Penn. November 4, 1859, a son of Andrew and Walbergh (Heigle) Hau, natives of Bavaria, Germany, who emigrated to America about the year 1843. They were married in this country and settled on a farm in Fox township. The mother died September 28, 1872, and the father in 1884. The latter was a prominent Democrat, and filled various township offices, and was also a member of the Catholic Church. Their family consisted of nine children, three of whom are living: John A.

Since 1887 he has acted as proprietor of the German House, at Kersey. He is a Democrat in politics, a member of the Catholic Church, and of St. Boniface Society." Hope this helps. Sandy

There is a Mary Nulf, died March 30, 1892 aged 81y3m buried in the Brockport Cemetery in Horton Twp., Elk Co., PA. Is this Lawrence's wife?

I know there are some people on this list working on this family or at least working on Nulf and it's many spellings. Did Lawrence Nolf of Fox Twp., Elk Co., PA, in fact, have two wives? The 1850 census of Redbank Twp., Armstrong Co., PA (Dwelling # 278/280) seems to suggest that he did. Lawrence is born circa 1789, but his wife Mary Ann is listed as being 26 years of age on this census. This makes her too young to be the mother of the oldest children, who are aged 18, 16 and 12. There are roughly two years between each child up to Lavina Nulf, born circa 1841, and then there is a four year gap between Lavina and the next child, Margaret, aged 5 and born circa 1845. Therefore, I am thinking that perhaps that the first wife died sometime after 1841, and Lawrence remarried sometime before 1844. 1850 Redbank Twp., Armstrong Co., PA Lawrence Nulf aged 65 Mary aged 26 Catherine aged 18 William aged 16 Mary A. aged 12 Sarah aged 10 Levina aged 9 Margaret aged 5 Adam aged 4 John aged 2 Now if this is the case and Lawrence DID have two wives, was the first one ALSO named Mary? Baptismal records found at the Alcola Trinity Church in Redbank Twp., Clarion Co., PA seems to suggest this. There is a baptism for daughter Catharina Nolf, born 5/30/1833, and the parents are given as Lawrence and Mary Nulf. Sponsors are David Silvis and wife Catherine. Was the age given (26) for the Mary Ann Nolf on the 1850 census an error? Was she more like 46? Was she the only wife of Lawrence Nolf? Margaret Wright Bennett, you probably know more about this family than anyone else that I know. Any comments or ideas appreciated. If we can tackle this one, we can then attempt to tackle the two John Nolfs that were born within one month of each other in 1848 that lived in this area. Apparently one had children, and one did not. But which one is which? :-) Isn't genealogy fun? Sherry

Sherry, I've checked a web site I use (German/English Dictionary; http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ ) coupled with my knowledge of the German language, since the dictionary site didn't have any exact translations, you spoke of 'the warmth comes from below' could be a derivative of Konig unten (King under) but then I checked a search engine for the internet ( http://www.go.com/ )and found this site: http://tntt.tntt.org/vni/tlieu/saints/St0713.htm And in the 2nd paragraph it speaks of St Cunegundes (or Kunigunda) but with this passage I don't see the link between her and the 'warmth from under.' In addition to this one site there were many genealogical web sites. Hey, another site of interest (although not of St Kunigunda) but of Elk County Wills http://www.pa-roots.com/elk/wills.html #s 55, 57, and 100 each have the name Kunigunda (as a first name, though), in the 1870's. Also, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3955/lehegypt2.htm Records of Egypt Reformed Church Lehigh County, Pennsylvania 1808-1834 has the name listed in there of Anna Kunigunda wife of Dr Henrich Muehlhausen with their children's births and baptisms. I know it's not exactly what you were looking for but now you know a bit more than you did.

Every year in the early to mid spring, the St. Marys newspaper publishes a little German "poem" or "saying" about the Feast of St. Kunigunda and how "the warmth comes from below". This is about the same time that the ground starts to thaw around here. Can anyone tell me what the German saying is in German, and the English translation? I tried calling John Imhoff at the Daily Press to see if he could find it for me, but he isn't in yet today. Thanks, Sherry
