Abt 1944 St. Joseph's church, Minooka, published a booklet which contained pictures and stories about the Minooka Blues. I thought I had a copy, but I guess it got lost over the years-perhaps someone on the list may have a copy. Also, Steve O'Neill was the manager of the world champion Detroit Tigers in 1945-it was well written up in the Scranton Times, perhaps a look in their archives would be interesting.

Don't have much to go on but a name and approximate birth date, 1820. Is there a SAUERS or Cyrus SAUERS on anyone's list. Thanks Jim

My grandfather's nephews played for the Minooka Blues. There were 4 brothers (O'Neill) and they went on to play professional ball. Stephen O'Neill played with the Minooka Blues sometime before 1911. Not sure when the others played with the Blues, I only have their professional stats. I would also appreciate anything on the Minooka Blues and where I might possibly find pictures or articles.

Hi I'm familiar with the Scranton "Miners" team. They were a minor leaugue team in the Red Sox organization. My uncle, Jack Harris, was their batboy in the early 1930's.

Does anyone have any information on the Minooka baseball team from the late 1920's and early 1930's? My father (James P. HART) played on the team. I thought we had a picture of the team but I can't locate it. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Tom Price has spent considerable time walking Pittston Avenue Cemetery and recording the information from the ALL of the stones. He added information from church records for his own relatives/ancestors. The list is alphabetical, but each plot is kept together, with an alphabetical cross reference to the name under which you will find a listing. http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/forest/pittston1.html Rich Reese and Heather Tomlinso have submitted the first installment in the project to transcribe the Lackawanna County Marriage Licenses Index volumes. With this index you will be able to locate or request the original with greater ease. Do keep in mind that the information is only as accurate as the clerk who made the entries. The date of marriage, if it took place at all, is not part of the index. It begins at http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/marriage01.html Still available is Rich Reese's own data covering more years beginning http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/marriages01.html The search engine has been updated for your convenience http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/search.html Susan

Thanks for the information. Do you know if the cemetery belongs to the church? I will keep the directions and if I make the trip from GA to PA this will give me some pointers.

I have been waiting to see if others have more definitive information on the Evergreen Cemetery than I, but it appears that not many on the list are familiar with it so I will share what I know! The cemetery was established in 1863 and has been in use since then. I have walked it several times and would estimate that there are about 250-300 sites. I do not know street names but can give pretty accurate driving directions. Factoryville is north of Scranton on PA routes 6&11 just before they split. Going north, Factoryville is on the left with a single road leading into the village. The road crosses the East Branch of the Susquehannah River and goes up a hill. About halfway up the hill there is a church on the right (Methodist?). Evergreen is 2-3 blocks behind the church. Hope this helps someone! Jeff in CT

Hi Listers: Thanks to everyone who responded about my query about how to find where my ggrandfather is buried. I want to especially thank Joe Bryer from GRSNP. He came thru again, not only telling me that he is buried in Maplewood Cemetery, but others that are there also. Joe is a true Gene. Since I'll be visiting Lackawanna next week to do research, I can't wait to meet him. Verna

Verna, don't overlook newspapers as a source. Back issues of the Carbondale Leader don't seem to exist for roughly 1932 to 1945 (which includes the 1940 dates you want) and so are not on microfilm. However, the Scranton Tribune does exist. I'm no expert on Scranton newspapers but here goes. Problem is that many days the Tribune put out four editions: City Final, DownValley, Northeast, and Upper Valley. Carbondale was/is serviced by the Upper Valley Edition. On microfilm today, at least one edition exists for most days in that period, but it could be ANY one or a couple of those four editions. Now for the good and more bad news. Good news is that often the death notices for the >entire area< were printed in all four editions. Bad news is that the obituaries were often only printed in the one edition that covered the area where the person lived. The Tribune microfilm is housing in several places including the Scranton Public Library. State Library of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg is involved with many of the microfilming programs thruout the state and might be the best place to find a complete list of sites. Back when I was doing my Tribune research, I did it at the Bloomsburg State College library. A death notice is a lot less than an obituary but a lot more than nothing and may answer your question.

Caterer KENNEDY provided the breakfast, and the bridal trip to Europe will take place in August. On Wednesday night a misplaced switch sent one train of coal cars crashing into another and the collision resulted in piling up about sixty cars at the base of a thirty foot embankment. The only person injured was William BLUME, a brakeman, who had his ankle sprained. The corner stone of the Welsh Presbyterian church was laid yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock by Mrs. Morgan B.

Michael McDONOUGH, one of Edwardsville's most enterprising citizens died at his home in that borough on Wednesday last. He was a well-to-do business man, 33 years of age, and the future held bright promises for him, but that insidious disease, consumption, laid its hand upon him, and after three months illness he answered to the summons that all must heed sooner or later. He leaves a wife and two interesting children to mourn his loss. Of his family four sisters and one brother survive him. Mr. McDonough was an upright, conscientious man and has a kindly place in the hearts of his friends and neighbors who will ever remember him for his genial nature and many sterling qualities.

Pittston paragraphs - Mrs. A. G. MASON and daughters are at Towanda, her old home, for a few days. While coming down the steep hill near the Wyoming Camp ground, the horse attached to B. D. BEYEA`s wagon, occupied by himself and family, became entangled in the shafts and harness while in a fright and upset the vehicle, throwing the people out, cutting Mr. Beyea's head quite severely. None of the others were hurt beyond immaterial bruises.

Dick was covered with a large amount of rock. When extricated it was found that his back and both legs were broken. He lives between Duryea and Moosic, and leaves a wife and a large family of children. Arthur Mehan lives at Pleasant Valley.

There are 300 operatives out and 200 more are expected to strike Monday. If the strike continues, a great many soft silk workers also will be thrown out of employment. Nearly all the operatives are girls, from fourteen to twenty years old. Editorial [condensed] - That ten murders could be successively committed, in the same manner, in the same locality, and evidently by the same person, in a city like London, would seem incredible were not at hand to prove that it has been done.

After inspecting the 13th, they left for Mt. Gretna to inspect the Eighth Regiment. [condensed] [complete list of staff accompanying the Governor, plus many other visitors to camp.] Among the names: Company D - Mrs. Capt. HINES, Mrs. Capt. THOMPSON, Mrs. Lt. E. D. FELLOWS; Company I, ex-lieut. H. W. LOFTUS, Mrs. Capt. Joseph DUGGAN, Mrs. P. A. McANDREWS, Mrs. Patrick CULLEN and Mrs. Frank B. COLLINS, all of Providence. Also E. W. CAPWELL (Co. G), Lt. A. E. ROWLAND (Co. E), and Lt. H. B. CHASE (Co. C), Lt. H. B. SHAW (co. B); Uncle John ANNEMAN, Pvts. CAREY and CULLEN (Co. B, cannon); Sgts. Bill RAUB, ROEBLING, and Alex DUNN; Sgt. Moses WEINGARTNER (Co. B)., Johnny REYNOLDS, barber (Co. B), and Drum Major Rees WATKINS. Mr. and Mrs. John SCISM, of Scranton, visited their son, Sgt. D. W. SCISM, at camp yesterday. For the past ten years in the camps of the Thirteenth, Sgt. A. R. GOULD of Company C, has been able to work some practical jokes on the boys, such as the balloon ascension, lifting machine, etc. But the clam lunch joke is well worth mentioning, and eclipses them all. Last Tuesday Sgt. GOULD sent out invitations to several officers of the regiment, inviting them to a clam lunch at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the lake side cottage of Dr. George S. THROOP. This was done without the knowledge of Dr. Throop. So at about one o'clock Wednesday afternoon the first seen to approach the residence of Dr. Throop which is near Hotel Pines was Capt. W. R. ROCKWELL, of Company H. He was accompanied by a friend and both rapped at the door of the cottage. When it was opened by the host himself, in the dining room could be seen Dr. Throop's family and a few visitors from Scranton partaking of a hearty dinner, much to the surprise of Capt. Rockwell and his friend. They immediately saw that it was a joke. Alex DUNN, the comedian of the camp, received an invitation, and even he was fooled. When Sgt. Gould made his appearance at the cottage, accompanied by Sgt. ROEBLING, Dr. Throop, who had been watching diligently for nearly half an hour, received them in his parlor and said: "Goldie, I am on to you, this is a joke on the boys," after which the invited guests were entertained in the best manner as possible on such short notice. During Wednesday morning when the different officers received invitations to the clam lunch, Webster SCHISM, of Company C, in order that he could be there with the others, borrowed a clean white shirt from one of the boys, a pair of cuffs from another, and a nice white necktie from another. Major Dr. ALBRO on not receiving an invitation to the lunch, requested that Sgt. Gould should go to Dr. Throop and demand an apology. George WOLF, another soldier was also badly fooled, and when he did not receive an invitation, told several of the boys that it was a shame that he, a cousin of Dr. Throop, should be slighted in such a manner. Captain Edward E. CHASE (Co. A), was officer of the day, but even he went down to the cottage to see whether there was a clam lunch or not. Many others were deceived, the Colonel and his Adjutant sending letters of regret. DIED - SWINGLE - In Scranton, July 18, 1889, Mary E. Swingle, wife of A. C. Swingle, and oldest daughter of L. W. BACON. Funeral at the house, 934 Green Ridge street, Saturday at 2 p.m. SMITH, At Logantown, July 17, 1889, Frank S. Smith, of Scranton, aged 23 years.

This is the remainder of the two weeks of July 1889 which I started to transcibe about a month ago, these files have been laying around for a couple of weeks waiting to be reviewed and edited as I have been quite busy. Now that a holiday weekend has come around, I have been able to complete them. Perhaps some more can be done in the future.

City and County - Local Brevities - The will of James SMITH, late of Scranton, was probated at the Register's office yesterday and letters testamentary granted to his daughter, Annie MORGAN. A telegram to Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara last evening announced the death, at Philadelphia, of Rt. Rev. Dr. CORCORAN, who is well known to the people of Scranton and vicinity. The deceased was about seventy-five years old. Announcement was made yesterday that there would be a reduction in the pay of the conductors and motor men on the Suburban line. The reduction amounts to fifteen cents a day. Many of the men would not remain for less than they were receiving, and immediately quit work. Mrs. F. J. COOPER and her mother, Mrs. T. E. CARR, are spending a few days at Waymart with relatives. Mrs. Joseph C. PLATT, of Waterford, NY, is in town for a few days at the Platt homestead on Ridge Row. Miss Kate R. SCRANTON, of Montclair, NJ, is visiting at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Fuller in Glenburn. Street commissioner KIRST and wife left yesterday for their farm in Jefferson Twp. Prof. Milton Evans, formerly instructor at Keystone Academy, Factoryville, who is now instructor at Crozer Theological Seminary, is the guest of his brother in this city. The members of Schiller Lodge, No. 345, Free and Accepted Masons, together with their families, enjoyed a pleasant evening at the Central Park Garden last night. It was an evening picnic, arranged by Charles GELBERT, the secretary of the lodge, who is also proprietor of the garden. Peter MORAN was before Alderman Roesler yesterday morning on a charge of beating his nine-year-old son James. According to the boy's story, two of the sons were quarreling, when the father stepped in and cruelly beat James. Moran was held in $300 bail for his appearance at court. The following places have railroad station names different from the post-office names for the same place: Railroad - P.O. Address Dunnings - Elmhurst Mayville - Skreen Taylorville - Minooka These are all in Lackawanna county, and persons when addressing correspondence should always put in the post-office name to avoid any possible mistake. Another Man's Checks (from the Carbondale Leader) carelessness in addressing letters is often the cause for mistakes and troubles, but not often as serious as the one which occurred in this city yesterday. There are two William SIMPSONs (possibly more) in Carbondale. One is the well-known resident of River street; the other is a denzian of a section of the city known as the "Swamp". Yesterday the Swamp resident went to the post office and received, much to his surprise, a letter addressed to him in which were checks for the payment of some stock dividends. He undoubtably knew that the letter was meant for some other William Simpson, but he didn't take the trouble to inquire and as soon as he got his eyes on the checks made a bee-line to the Miner' and Mechanics' Bank. The bank, however, refused to cash the checks. His manner was suspicious and he did not look like a man who was accustomed to receiving checks of the kind. From there Simpson went to the store of S. SINGER, bought a suit of clothes and offered in payment one of the papers for $60, which was accepted and the change handed over to Simpson. Shortly after the customers exit Mr. Singer found that the checks were drawn for Mr. Simpson of River street. He immediately put Detective MORAN on the trail, who searched the Swamp and watched the principal streets of the city all day without avail, Moran having a wild goose chase after an individual with a guilty conscience, who fled at the sight of the officer. The wrong Simpson still holds another check for $80, and if he is captured it may be recovered. It is doubtful whether any of the amount of the first named check is left by this time. Foreman CLARK, his two assistants, the engineer, and five apprentices were the only men at work yesterday at the boiler shop of the Dickson Manufacturing company on lower Penn-avenue. A week ago, the employees of the shop told President Dickson that unless the reduction of ten percent, which went into effect two months ago was not restored by Monday night, they would quit work, and they kept their word to a man. Yesterday the majority of the men received what was due them at the office and many of them left the city to look for work elsewhere. The blacksmiths have now given notice that they will quit work on Saturday unless the reduction made in their pay is restored by the time. [condensed] The West Side - Mr. T. I.

At the Regimental Encampment The fifth day of the regiment's encampment at the lake was favored with beautiful weather. The sky was somewhat cloudy, and the breeze on the lake delightfully cool. The spirits of the men were buoyant when they turned out of their tents to answer roll call yesterday morning. At 11 o'clock they had battalion and skirmish drills, and later their daily afternoon drill, which was followed by a dress parade in the evening, showing a remarkable improvement.
