    1. [PA-LAC] Abington Hills Cemetery and Nay Aug Park
    2. bruthj209
    3. Dear List: I went to Scranton over the weekend of July 20th and again went to Abington Hills Cemetery. Just wanted all interested to know that it is getting in great condition. The roads seem to all be paved now and, in fact, it looks like they are clearing out areas to put in more graves. While we were there, Mr. Graziano (sp?) stopped by to ask if we needed help. I told him others were interested in obtaining records and he said he had an office in the Charles Rader Ins. Company and I believe he said he was listed under Lackawanna Management Company. He was a little vague when I asked about records so I don't know how much luck one would have with that. I didn't have a piece of paper with me at the time to write it down. I was very pleased with the cemetery. I visited Nay Aug Park where I used to go as a child and the zoo is all gone but there are walking trails and the Everhart Museum is still there and the swimming pool (which at the time was full of people). Just thought some on the list might be interested in areas from Scranton. Barbara Researching: Jenkins, Benjamin, Lees, Bamford, Kembel

    3. Hi everyone! You all were so great about responding to my last question, I have another stumper. I have in my possession a document from the Lackawanna County Orphans' Court from October 3, 1881 regarding the estate of Anthony Langan and his minor child Thomas Langan giving guardianship of said child to Bridget Langan. I have no idea how this relates to my Langan ancestors but suspect these people are somehow related to my great grandmother Barbara Langan Langan (no it is not a typo, her maiden name really was Langan and she really did marry another Langan). Do the names sound familiar to anyone? Kathleen Janus kathleenjanus@yahoo.com --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

    3. Luzerne County - Wilkes-Barre - Miss Polly Rees, of Plymouth is visiting city friends. Plymouth township will have nine months school this year and the term begins August 19th. Samuel HOAGENBAG is laid up with a broken leg, the result of an accident while engaged in setting curb-stone. The solier boys [go] into camp at Tunkhannock on Saturday. The advance guard depart for the site of camping to-day. The Dorrancetown school board have elected Andrew ELLSWORTH, of Kingston, and Miss SNYDER as teachers for the coming year. The flats farmers suffered considerable loss by the storm of Wednesday afternoon, the grain and the grass being flattened to the earth. Marriage licenses were granted to John THOMAS and Maggie WILLIAMS of Wilkes-Barre; Samuel ATWELL and Margaret RIDLER, of Pleasant Valley; Owen HUGHES and G. Bach, of WIlkes-Barre. Some idea as to the amount of business transacted by the Collector of Internal Revenue in this district may be had in the fact that durning his four years in office Collector Staples collected $1,070,673.27. The new Collector of Internal Reveue, Mr. [T. Frank] PENMAN, of Scranton, took posession of the office yesterday. Ex-Collector STAPLES returns to his former home in Stroudsburg. The Ashley School Board have elected the following teachers: A. W. MOSS, principal; J. R. HOYT, assistanat principal; Mrs. DOLPH, Miss GUINIP, Miss McCORMICK, Miss LAITY, Miss CLINTON, Miss McDONNELL, Miss JOHNSON, and Miss TRESCOTT. The storm of Wednesday afternoon proved a veritable cyclone at Parsons and Miners' Mills. The suddenness of the swoop prevented people from making ready for it even if they had anticipated so severe a visitation. The storm surged in upon this vicinity with a violence never before known here, tearing down telephone wires so that news could not be received until yesterday morning. The downpour was so heavy that roofs heretofore impervious to rain allowed the water to flow in to the destruction of plastering and the damage of furniture. The winows of Michael ATHEY's hotel were broken by the force of the tempest and carpets and bedding were soaked. Cellars filled up in the lower located houses, the orchard of the farm occupied by John GALLAGER and owned by L. D. SHOEMAKER was broken down and uprooted. Harry BROWN's barber shop was relieved of its windows, a fine maple tree in front of Frank MEHAN's house was hustled off and blown into the street, the carriage house at WADDELL's mines was demolished and three wagons were crushed, while a stable in which Tom HURLEY had taken refuge with a horse and wagon was overturned and carried a hundred feet, man and horse escaping almost by miracle. The head house at WADDELL's was so shaken that the men employed there abandoned it and the breaker boys, who do not affright easily, were panic-stricken lest the building should be destroyed. Horses tied along the streets were with some difficulty kept from tearing away and T. F. QUIGLEY's spirited store team, caught in the storm, became so frightened that their driver was unable to manage them and they dashed away, stopping only when the wagon had been overturned and well-nigh demolished. The horses fortunately escaped with but slight injury. People of the town say that never in their recollection has the place been so visited with such a heavy storm, and it required some time with a force of men before the roads in the vicinity were made passible. P. J. RUDDY, a teacher in the school at Miners' Mills was caught in the storm while rambling in the woods nearby, and says that a tree near which he stood was struck by lightening, cleaving it from top to base, the electric fluid giving him a slight shock as it was dissipated in the surrounding earth. The umbrella which he had with him was caught up by the wind and found lodgement in a pine tree close at hand. It may be easily inferred that he reached home somewhat damp. W. W. VINCENT`s residence at Ashley was set on fire by the lightning of the (late) storm. The hose company turned out promptly ad quenced the flames so that little damage resulted. Mr. Vincent and family were at Wyoming Camp ground at the time. [condensed article about the financial problems of the base ball club] It has come to this: We have a good team. It has done good work. There is a chance of leading the league and capturing the pennant at wind-up. Is there pride enough among the influential citizens to continue to help maintain the club, and will people at large take enough interest in this most wholsome and commendable of out-door sports to materiall aid and encourage by their presence at the games? If so, then the club will play out the season. If ot, then the "Coal Barons" will succumb by reason of an impoverish treasury. [They were one game back of first place as a result of not playing on Wednesday because of the storm. -ed] R. P. LOWERY, of Miner's Mills, who has achieved no enviable reputation in various parts of Lackawanna county, his former place of residence, is in trouble that may cost him something before he gets through with it. Mention was made in these columns some days ago of an escapade of his with a domestic in his employ who kept house for him since his wife died. At the time he was arrested for having betrayed the affection of the young girl in question but on his agreeing before Squire MOORE to marry her, proceedings were stopped. He, however, did not live up to his promise, and Constable GAVIGAN is looking after him with another warrent. S. A. DANN, of Scranton, also has a hold on LOWERY for fraud. When Lowery's wife died he wanted to borrow money from Dann to defray the expenses of burial. He said that he would give as security for repayment a carriage then at the wagonmaker's. Upon these terms the loan was granted. As things stand, if Lowery is capyured they will make it exceedingly interesting for him. William RAMSEY, of Miner's Mills, fire boss at the old Mill Creek colliery, was badly burned about the head and body by an explosion of gas yesterday. A Polander at work in the same mine was also badly burned. Ramsey was taken home and the Polander was sent to the hospital. Both men will recover. John TREBOSKI was badly hurt by a fall of roof in the Keystone mine on Wednesday night about nine o'clock. He will recover. Nanticoke - The Nanticoke school board have appointed teachers as follows: Principal, Mrs. Jennie C. COOK, salary $60 per month, with Misses DITTY and DOUGLASS assistants. The other teachers appointed are: Hanover building, Mr. BROWER; Honeypot building, S. E. DODSON; East Main street school, Miss Agnes V. BATTLE and Miss Annie GILLIGAN; West Mai street building, William L. WILLIAMS, Misses Mary CORGAN, Florence B. McKEE, Annie MAGEE, Mollie SARBER, Marian RACE; Centennial building, Misses Teresa PRESSEL, Mary DAVIS, Marie ANDERSON, Mary OPLINGER, Annie BRADER, Ella McGANN, Mary COX, Lillie POWELL, Maggie LIND, and Ida LUBRECHT.
