Two things I want to accomplish: 1. Find grave site of George Madison and family - hopefully > still where I was told they were, in the Mt Zion Cemetery, Caledonia. (also was told that church burned down years ago). There are Madisons buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery, but unfortunately no George appears to be among them. The church did burn down YEARS ago, but I don't know how if there were any records stored there. > 2. Find any/all documents relating to this family at the county court house and Historical Society Good idea-- check the courthouse first. > > Needing to know if the court house and historical society will be open and what their hours are (8 Oct is Columbus Day, > celebrated). I have not been able to bring up the Historical Society web site for weeks now. http://users.penn.com/~elkhist/ Our new website address is www.elkcountyhistoricalsociety.org Our hours are Thursday from 2-5 p.m, Friday from 2-8 p.m, and Saturday from 2-5 p.m. However, if we have advance notice, we can have someone available to open up for you on other days. > > Since I spent most summers when I was growing up in Ridgway it will be like going home. My Grandparents, Russell T & Irene > Madison, used to live at 218 Metoxet Street. Both have since passed on. Not too familiar with Ridgway, but I know Metoxet street is still there! :-) > > Does West Penn Power (if it still exists), where my Grandfather worked and retired (office on the St Mary's road from > Ridgway), allow visitors and would they have any personnel records still on file? I don't know-- I would call. > > Unless another motel/hotel has moved into Ridgway, we'll probably be staying at the motel at the top of Boot Jack hill. Uhm.....not a very good idea. It has........deteriorated.....somewhat. You might want to check into the Best Western or the Comfort Inn in St. Marys. E-mail me privately if you need phone numbers. > > Say HI or HONK if you see a silver Impala with a North Carolina license plate (NC is a 1 plate state).
