Does anyone know the location of Walls Corner Cemetery? Is there any record of the burials there? All I know is that some of my ROSS's are buried there.

Thanks for everyone's input about the Methodist Episcopal church. The specific ones I'm looking for are the Simpson M.E. and the Elm Park M.E. churches in the Scranton area. Thanks again. This should keep me busy for awhile! Dot Hosking Huntley in SW Oregon

St. Mary's Cemetery on Stafford Avenue in South Scranton is still existence; however, the road is closed as it approaches the bridge just before the cemetery. You have to park the car and walk down to it. I'm not positive but I believe the cemetery is associated with St. Mary of the Assumption Church on the 400 block of River Street in South Scranton. I'm sure you would be able to send an inquiry to St. Mary's Church, 400 Block of River Street, Scranton, Pa 18505 and it would be delivered properly.

Noticed that in Dunmore, the Pioneer Weekly was published from August 1889 through 1891. Would someone give me advice on how to obtain these publishing from the Pioneer Weekly? If I can obtain this newspaper, I would more than likely post transcripts of interest to the group. Kay Niagara Falls, NY

Which of the St. Mary's is no longer in existance? > Lenora, I have a telephone directory of Scranton, Clarks Summit/Carbondale, and I see no listings under cemeteries for St. Mary's. There are two for St. Catherine's and one for St. Joseph's. In the white pages, there is a whole column of St. Mary's, but there are two actually listed as St. Mary's Assumption Church. One is listed as 41 Carroll, phone no. 570- 655-9973. The other is at 517 Third Ave. Jessup, 570-489-4726. Hope some of this will help. Ruth (also from Wisconsin)

Hi Verna, I have a vague memory of our kitchen stove when we grew up in Scranton that I believe was called "Dickson" It was an excellent stove, part gas and part coal, with top ovens over the range. Did he also make stoves? Ruth

What fun! Last week, none of us knew what such a launch was. Good researching. Anne.

Can anyone give me a steer to more information about Sheridan's Rifles? A sergeant listed, Denis McDade, may well be my maternal ggfather, who lived in Dunmore in 1889. Thanks, Anne

I checked the 'power site' and found it difficult to find anything. Could you tell me what I did wrong? I was looking for a death record. I clicked on the name and the word 'obituary'. MargeB
