Hi Nancy, Stay tuned! They will all get typed and posted eventually. I don't know if there are any BOWER's or Johnson's in there. Too many to go through by hand to check. If you lived close, I would let you sort through them yourself. The more Carole and I post to the list, the more I receive in the mail. Blessings from heaven? Where were your Bower's and Johnson's? There were several lines of them in the county. I have a dandy story and obit I found at the Brownsville Library this afternoon that I will post next week about a guy named John "Happy" LINDY of Brownsville, Pa., and several about local civil veterans who died. I wish I could wave a magic wand and they would all apear on the list, but since I don't have that power yet, we will all have to have a little patience.

Hi Angela, I don't understand your question. I have many obits, which I either type myself or send to a volunteer to be typed. Many of them. Eventually they will all get typed and sent to the list. Are you asking me if any of the obits I have in my possession are for any Kendall's or Welling's? If so, I would dread the thought of having to go through all of the obits I have to look for them. All of the obits that I posted this afternoon were obtained from the Brownsville Public Library on microfilm. I do not have physical possession of them.

Ken, after talking to Ed today, I am now referring to Redstone Cem. It is a fact there are serval Redstone Cem (s) in the area. Redstone Cem., Brownsville, Pa Redstone Cem, Fayette City Pa Redstone Cem, near Grindstone Pa Redstone Baptist Cem near Smock Pa Now the one you are referring to as a quaker cem maybe this isnt a redstone cem. Therefore in Della Reagan book she has a Daniel Phillps buried in a Redstone Cem., the names she listed are not in any of the other Redstone Cem.(s) Therefore there must be another Redstone Cem in the area. Its to bad that Della didn't state where this one was? John Yanik PS Ellen please don't reply to this message!
