Hi Jamie, The only thing I found in the Shirleysburg History was mention of Hugh King's daughter Susanna King Crone. That was good, as I knew Crone's were related somehow to my Miller family. Margaret King Miller and Susan were sisters. The book is out of print. I would keep checking some of the used book websites. You may find an actual copy. Go to the Penn State website and read it. It was written in the form as a newspaper column. I actually copied the book. many pages, but quick reading. I didn't copy the Mount Union information. T

Blair County Genealogical Society would have those issues, as they bought the Hoenstine library collection. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabcgs/ Other central PA societies might have them, too, though.

Nancy, I am interested in the family of Patrick King or of his father George King. George King married Mary Wayne. Patrick moved to Muskingum county, Ohio abt. 1832 and I believe some of his brothers did also. jamie

There are some Kings in this book. I purchased my copy several years ago at the Mt. Union Historical Society.

I totally agree with Kathryn's reminder about findagrave.com. Their site is far from a complete listing, but it's an invaluable research aid and has broken down many brick walls for me over the past few years, and also provided me with a few photos of some of my ancestors -- not just gravestone photos, but photos of the people themselves as provided by people/descendents who posted them at findagrave.com. I'm very grateful to people who have taken the time and effort over the years to post information and transcriptions there, and have begun posting some listings of my own there, hoping I can help someone else break down a brick wall as was done for me. I join Kathryn in suggesting everyone add this site to their research links to check regularly, and to add your own listings and participate in any way you feel you can. It really is a great tool to have at our disposal in our family history research. Have a safe and pleasant Independence Day holiday, everyone :) Dawn -----Original Message----- From: Kathryn M.

Hello [email protected] and Fellow Listers: Would you please provide a little more info about your William RICHARDSON? I too, am a descendant of a William RICHARDSON (b.ca.1745 in England - and was to at one time be "of Huntingdon Co." - as per a published history/biographical annal) who at the time of his death was living in Fannett Twp., Franklin Co., PA. in 1813. This William RICHARDSON was married to an Elizabeth BROCH who also died in 1813 and is to be buried in the same grave as her husband in an unnamed Catholic Cemetery. William and Elizabeth BROCH RICHARDSON had a son, William who was listed as the eldest son, in the elder William's will [in Franklin Co. Court House] in which he was to only receive $1.00. Could this be your ancestor??? I am a descendant of the youngest son, Elezar [aka Elias] (b.1800).

I have many relatives at Cedar Grove. There is a pavilion there but I don't know whether a map is inside. It is a large cemetery. The only cemeteries I personally know in Alexandria are the Presbyterian Cemetery and the Methodist Cemetery. Check the GenWeb cemetery listings to confirm this.

There has been a lot of interest in the above history book over the last few weeks. A number of people were requesting information from a member who owned a copy of book. The book has recently become available on CD from the following company: http://www.bushbooks.com/shirley.html It is an excellent resource. Teresa Shade Anderson

Bonnie, The Temple Funeral Home was located on Main Street, Petersburg, PA. It is the red brick building across from the Post Office. It later became the Spyker Funeral Home. The Spyker Funeral Home went out of business in the mid 1960's. The original funeral home is now a residence. Have you sent for a death cert.? I didn't catch the date of death, if that is applicable. A death cert. would further verify the place of interment. I was told there is a lovely pavilion at the Petersburg Cemetery where pre-burial services are held rather than at actual graveside; and there is a list of all interred on a solid wall inside the pavilion. Anyone...is this so? Someone owns the cemetery as it is still actively used. Wouldn't the owner of the cemetery also have a record of the interments? Teresa Shade Anderson

I am looking for the graves of my grandfather Frank Eckard and my great grandfather Dillar Eckard. I recently acquired Dillar's obituary, he died in 1930. He was viewed at the L. C. Temple & Son Funeral home. The reverand Charles Strong of the Zion Lutheran Church in Petersburg officiated at the funeral. Interment was made at Cedar Grove Cemetery. His wife Catherine preceded him in death so I assume she is there as well. I have been to the Cedar Grove Cemetery but have not found Dillar or Frank. Who keeps the records of this cemetery as it is quite large and can I contact them? Also, where could I find the funeral home records. I don't believe there are any funeral homes in Petersburg today. I have been searching for these graves for years now with no luck. Hopefully this obit has broken the brickwall on this family for me. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.
