I am hoping that someone will be able to help me. I am trying to find information on William Morris, he paid taxes on 200 acres of land at the north end of Hill valley in 1762 and he built a mill on the stream. I am also trying to find information on Jonathan Morris who was listed on the tax records in 1789 on land on what is today Mt. Union. I am also wondering if either of these men were mentionted in Africa's book. Any and all help will be greatly apreciated. Sue sbrowand@pa.net

I have recently learned that Joshua Brown was included in Africa, Page 362 [1883] And I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to look it up for me. Thank you so much for your help. Sue sbrowand@pa.net

Hi List, Shot in the dark here, but I was wondering if anyone has or has come across an obituary for Daniel Flot (Flott). Born August 25, 1812 Germany (East Prussia), died July 1, 1875 in Dublin or Tell Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Wife Susannah (Susan), Children: David, Mary (McKnight), Sarah (Snyder), Henry L., Emanuel, and Charles. Teresa Brewer Delikat http://www.geocities.com/tjbd/Genealogy.html "He alone deserves to be remembered by his children who treasures up and preserves the memory of his fathers." --Edmund Burke (1729-1797) --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Helen, Do you have the children of Joseph and Sarah (Wilson) HALL? I have a Richard Carlet HALL who was born in 1818 -- time frame & place are right. Also, do you know from which WILSON family Sarah descends? His obituary follows. Kathryn Doyle Piedmont, CA Richard Hall, the oldest resident in Shirley township, died on Friday Oct. 14th at his home in Germany Valley. Mr. Hall suffered a stroke several weeks ago and from that time until his death he remained in a critical condition. The deceased was born in Hill Valley Mar. 5, 1818. He spent his boyhood days in that part of Shirley township, and at the age of 12 years he came into Germany Valley and there entered the employ of Jacob Spanogle, who was the great-grandfather of the writer. In his day, Jacob Spanogle was one of the prominent farmers of Germany Valley. Mr. Hall remained with Mr. Spanogle for about 8 years. He married Miss Mary Wilson of near Shade Gap in 1849, and took up residence at the old woolen mill in Germany Valley. In 1852 he moved to the farm where he died, he having purchased that tract situated along the eastern side of Johntown Ridge. There, Mr. Hall cleared the land and became instrumental in laying out some of the public highways through the valley. His wife died Oct. 6, 1863. His children are: Thos. H. (deceased), formerly of Illinois; Rachel Jane (deceased); Margaret Belle Craig, formerly of Bolivar, Pa.: Jno. W., of Galesburg, Ill.; Richard C., Jr. of near McVeytown; J. Elliott of Brockwayville, Pa.; Rhoda Ann (deceased), wife of I.W. Nearhood; Mary Elizabeth who died in infancy. Mr. Hall’s funeral was held on Sunday afternoon in charge of Rev. Chas. Griffin of Shirleysburg. There were a number of neighbors and friends in attendance to pay their last respects to the memory of this venerable resident of Shirley township. More than an octogenarian by nearly 13 years, for Mr. Hall had reached the age of almost 93 years. Thus he rounded up a long life of usefulness as a farmer, and the fact of his long life is a lesson to the most of us whose careers are given to the stenuosity of this age, for in the quiet, peaceful life of the deceased and his regularity of living, the functions of his body did their work well for almost a century. His remains were interred at the Bethel Cemetery in Germany Valley. Undertaker Dunmire conducted the funeral.

Nan, Thank you for the advice. I will be sure to have a look in Bedford County. It does make it really difficult when they kept dividing the counties up. Thanks again for responding. Helen

Helen you might want to check Dublin in Bedford Co also, they separated Dublin twp when Huntingdon was formed. I think the other half is in Fulton Co now, since Fulton wasn't formed till June of 1850. I know how it is to try to find someone there,, with all the dividing they have done. Luck to you Nan

Does anyone know if there are any records of cemeteries in Dublin Twp. Huntingdon County, Pa.? I am very interested in finding out information on the Joseph and Sarah Hall family that lived in Dublin Twp. Hopefully, I will be able to locate cemetery records for them. They lived all their lives in Dublin Twp. Joseph born about 1791, died between 1850-1860. Sarah was Sarah Wilson. I know she was still alive in the 1860 census. Thanks for any help someone may be able to offer! Helen

Your Calvin Cemetery is probably the Wright Cemetery, which started as a family plot and is on a lane behind a barn on the Wright farm at Calvin, along Harmony Church Road. The Trough Creek Valley Baptist Cemetery is a large burial ground with an active association in charge of the grounds. It is in a wooded area off the Fink Road in rural Cass township; there is a circle road in and out; many older burials are found there as well as recent ones. P.S. Sylvia Stever married Thomas Stapleton, son of Abner and Sara Stapleton. Sylvia was my grandmother's first cousin. She died of cancer in 1911, I believe. RE: >Surnames: Stapleton >Can anyone tell me where the Calvin cemetery would be? What about the Baptist >Cemetery in Trough Creek Valley? Are they the same cemetery? I have two lists >of Stapletons.

This was in the "Citizens Voice" newspaper. I think (but am not positive) that the cemetery they are speaking of is in Luzerne county. I thought it might be of interest to everyone. People with loved ones buried in Good Shepherd Memorial Park in Plains Township are planning to put their heads together to see what their options are. "I've been trying to get people together for the past three or four years," said Charles Alfano. He goes to Good Shepherd every week to visit his parents' crypts. While there on Memorial Day, Alfano got to talking to a woman from Old Forge who told him how concerned she and her husband were about the state of the cemetery. Alfano was going to contact Ann Grudzinski, who has also been trying to get something done about the cemetery, but she contacted him first. They decided to hold the meeting for all those who have concerns about Good Shepherd at Alfano's shop, Heavenly Ham, on Kidder Street in Wilkes-Barre on June 6 at 6 p.m. "We would just like to talk to the people and see what they would like us to do," Alfano said. Grudzinski, Alfano and many others have contacted and filed complaints with various organizations and agencies, seeking advice and assistance, but with limited success. Grudzinski has been contacting people who have plots at Good Shepherd, and said she is also trying to find a lawyer who is willing to volunteer an hour of his or her time to tell the people what their rights are. "We're asking if there's any attorney out there who can help us by giving us an hour of his or her time and giving us an idea of what we can do," Grudzinski said. "We don't know where to go. We don't know what kind of legal rights we have." Grudzinski's main issue is holding Good Shepherd's current owner, Larry Deminski, accountable for extra money she feels he has taken unfairly from people, particularly senior citizens, over the years. "Like a man who put out money for a stone seven years ago who never got it," she gave as an example. Grudzinski is also worried about where the money would go when Deminski sells the cemetery, and whether the perpetual care fund would be restored. A public auction, scheduled for May 31, was postponed. Instead, the Glenn Geyer Auction Co. is taking sealed bids only for the 6.98- acre property, with a minimum price of $300,000. Alfano said he is concerned about who buys the cemetery, and whether it would be possible to develop the extra acreage. "There's no potential for anybody to buy it," Alfano said. "There's no crypts left for sale - the ones there, who's going to buy them in the condition it's in?" The mausoleum needs cleaning, but with the electricity cut off on the property, vacuuming is impossible, so people have been trying to keep it swept as best they can in an attempt to make it presentable. "My parents lived in a house they kept immaculate," Alfano said. "They don't deserve to be resting in a place like this." ©The Citizens Voice 2003
