John, What did you get from LDS? I didn't know they sold anything? Charlie

Hi Fellow Listers, I recently received my 1880 United States Census from LDS and I must say it is quite a work.I am willing to do look-ups for anyone who is looking for someone special.Because of the vastness of this work,I must lay down some rules of needed information. 1. Naturally,they must have been living in 1880. 2. I must have the year of birth. 3. Must have the wifes name if married,and any childrens names. 4. If possible,the County or Countys where they are suspected to have lived. I was going to look up the William Miller that Mr Goss was looking for yester- day.I plugged in William Miller state wide and found there are 1743 of them state wide in 1880.So one can see the need for the four rules.Good hunting. Best regards John M.Casey Fairbury Illinois

I wonder if anyone on the list has any knowledge of the small village called Arthurs located north of Brookville, PA...? Doug Arters [email protected].com Researching the Brookville Arthur(s) and their descendants.

In regards to Sherrytown... The company houses ,that I mentioned ,were, in deed ,owned by the large mining companies.A very good example of this practice can still be found in the little village of Adrian/Delancy located between Punxsutawney and Anita on Rt.310. The Punxsutawney Historical and Genealogical Society and the local libaries have copies of the book "The History of the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal Company";this is a very interesting account of coal mining,the towns and the people and of how the local communities of the early days were affected by this industry.

Thank you to those of you who helped me locate Rhoads Place. There is an actual Rhoads Cemetery and it is listed in Pat Steele's Tomb stone Hopping. Regards, Carolyn

Hello: I see you referred to the homes as company houses...Where they from the mining companies???I understand that there was a lot of mining in that area.. My husbands grandfather lost a leg in an accident back in the early 1900's we are researching trying to find info on WILT/WILEY/CRAMER..Thanks much Ssndy Grubb Wilt http://community.webtv.net/crwarw/InLovingMemoryof

Sherrytown exsited as a small village between Adrian/Delancy and Crawfordtown and Elenora.In the 1900s til the late 1940s,this area was full of company houses and each little village bled into the next with no distinct bounderies. Sherrytown still exsists today with a cluster of homes along the Crawfordtown Road off of Rt.310 between Adrian and Anita.
