Does anyone know if the records for Torrance are available? Donna dolly3133@aol.com

I apologize to those who have already seen this item. AOL was bouncing list mail because of the computer virus that was spreading last week. INDIANA MESSENGER 5 MARCH 1890 "Andy Henderson, of New Castle, on Saturday, heard the news that his brother Jack had been killed by the cars at Connellsville; the day before Henderson's father was killed in a railroad collision; his old mother was struck by an express train while returning home from church and killed; two brothers have been killed on railroads on which they were employed and a brother is badly crippled by reason of an accident on a railroad. This is a ghastly record for one family." Does "old mother" mean grandmother? Hope this helps someone. Michelle Isenberg-Dalton

Many were taken to Dixmont Hospital, in Pittsburgh. Dixmont has been closed down for a number of years...I think it was finally destroyed by a fire. The records for Dixmont are at the History Center in Pittsburgh, but are restricted. -smb --On Thursday, February 05, 2004 6:05 PM -0500 Judy Barnes <judithgbarnes@hotmail.com> wrote: > Dear Listers: > > My question: Where would a mentally unbalanced person who is "taken away > by the county" be taken to in 1912, in Indiana County?

Dear Listers: My question: Where would a mentally unbalanced person who is "taken away by the county" be taken to in 1912, in Indiana County? The Alms House? or was there a hospital like Western Psy? or Torrence State Hosp? Thanks in advance.

From the E-mail desk of : Shirley Baker Kier Researcher Hello Connie, and to the Website: I also belong to the above Website because my 1st Kier Ancestors settled in Saltsburg, Pa and many other Counties and Cities in Pennsylvania, when they came to America back in 1785 from Ballymoney, County of Antrim, in Northern Ireland. I have been trying to find some "Delayed Birth Certificates" on them (and other information as well), so I went to the "Url" that you told us Listers to go to to find them. It is all "Blocked out" so that no one can get any information of any kind from it. I have a 455-Page Kier Genealogy Book and I am searching for all kinds of information on my Kier Relatives and the Surnames that have married into our Family. There are many of them in Pennsylvania. I would very much like to be permitted to go into this Website, so I can look for "All of my Kier Families" who moved to Pennsylvania back in 1785 and still live there to this very day. Thank your very kindly in advance, to be able to do such. Hoping to hear from you real soon, Shirley

Thank you, thank you - it was your site where I found the info a few years back when I was searching for Rhoda Lydick White.

I have Delayed Birth Certificates on my website: http://www.geocities.com/lydick_1999/index.html [A few are in the Archives for Indiana County] Blessings, Connie Mayo

Look on the Archives pages for Indiana County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/indiana/

Claire. I would guess that the birth certificate would be at the county courthouse where he was born. My mother had a delayed birth certicate where her brother and a few others had to attest to her birth in Huntingdon. At the top it reads, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, County of Huntingdon. Her brother gave her birth as a year younger than she really was.;>) It might be possible that it was filed in Tarentum, County Courthouse if he obtained it as an adult when living there. Check out both possiblities. Barbara Moll

A couple years ago I found a delayed birth certificate on the internet and now I am trying to add to my source citation more info but cannot find the site again. The cert was # 2357 for Eli Clay White whose sister Della Ann White, and brother-in-law William Johnston swore he was who he said he was. The cert also proved to me who his mother and father were - Isaac Anderson White and Elizabeth M Simson. He was born in Indiana County but spent his married life in Tarentum Township, Allegheny County, PA. He and his wife Anna are buried in Covode United Presbyterian Cemetery in Indiana County. Many of his relatives lived in Altoona, Blair County. Is there anyone who would know where I seen these delayed birth certificates? Claire White

Abby, a quick thanks for this posting; it had a marriage that I don't have all details of.

Vernon , Can you tell me anything about the Bagley family you listed with the Learn family? I have the following information, but would like a little more information on William Bagley's background. Someone had given me information on a Bagley family in Cambria Co. that belonged to the Catholic church in Gallitzin. Don't find any connections there, your Methodists in Indiana sound a little closer to home. William would have been born around 1871. Could the William and Sarah below be his parents? Thanks for any help, Marcia Fronk 1. JEMIMA CAROLINE FRONK (CYRUS HATFIELD2, FREDERICK HENRY1) was born July 14, 1869. She married WILLIAM BAGLEY. Children of JEMIMA FRONK and WILLIAM BAGLEY are: i.

It is items like these that really take us back and give a picture of life. Some that I'm including have no listed surnames but gave me a chuckle and they certainly paint a rich picture. A few antidotes from the Indiana Messenger 16 Jun 1869 Extracted ( ) are my comments. A.T. Moorehead & Co., Church Street Store, have placed us under obligations for a box of fine cigars. The reason they can afford to give the printer so much is because they do a big business, by the aid of "printers ink," which is respectfully recommended to all who desire to do likewise. (some things never change-scratch, scratch) Jno. Nagle sold his pet deers to the proprietor of Bryan's menagerie, on Saturday. We have not learned the price paid. We were shown some new potatoes of the early rose variety cultivated by Capt. Nesbit, which are rather handsome for this season of the year. Quite a number of young men who came to town on Saturday to see the show, succeeded in getting gloriously drunk. I would have been a good day to inaugurate the new police law. The law requires guide boards to be placed at the forks of every road, and it is the duty of constables to report to the Court cases where the law has not been complied with. This is a useful provision, and beneficial to all classes of people. Nothing is more unpleasant than not to know which of two roads to take, especially when a long distance from a place where inquiries can be made. Many townships of this county are entirely deficient in this respect. We would respectfully call the attention of road supervisors to this subject. (I believe they would now think we have too many). Pocket Picked. Mr. Wm. Mitchell, coal dealer of this place, had his pocket-book containing some ninety dollars, taken from his picket while going to Blairsville on the morning train, on Monday last. A large number of persons traveling with Bryan's circus were on the train, and, we doubt not, the light-fingered chap was one of that party. The managers of the circus would do well to drop some of the gamblers and pickpockets who travel with the concern. The reputation of the company, in towns where they have exhibited, is none of the best, and we would advise persons to look well to their doors and pockets when this establishment is about.
