One of its more notable members was Mina Schimpff (Mrs. Philip Robinson). Her husband was a brewer. After his premature death in a wagon accident at Moscow, Mina found herself in charge of a rather large family. She began lending money to friends and neighbors on the South Side, and those banking activities were the origin of the South Side Bank. My interest in the Schimpff's results from their ties to the Lohmann family. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL

Father ROACH (sic), formerly of this place, but later parish priest at Archbald, Lackawanna county. Father Roach came here in 1882, remaining until 1887, having in the meantime erected a handsome church and parochial residence. He was greatly beloved, not only by his own congregation, but by all who knew him. This town is grief-stricken at the news of his death. Father ROACH was ordained at Scranton in 1873 and was graduated at Georgetown, DC. He was forty-five years of age, and in one so young in years and rich in the love and respect of his people, the Church suffers an imparable loss. Elsewhere- John L.

[condensed] News was received in the city yesterday afternoon of the death of Rev. Father Patrick T. ROCHE, pastor of the church of St. Thomas at Archbald, at Boston, Mass., at an early hour yesterday morning. Father Roche had been ill for several weeks and had gone to Boston for treatment. Deceased was aged 45 years and was born in County Galway, Ireland, in December 26, 1844. When quite a young ma he emigrated to America and his preparatory studies for the priesthood were at Georgetown College, District of Columbia, his final studies being at St. Charles Borremev College, Philadelphia. Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara ordained him a priest at St. Peter's Cathedral, this city, on July 30, 1874. After being stationed at the Cathedral for a short time, he was sent to Hyde Park, where he organized St. Patrick's congregation. Later he was transferred to Parsons where he organized ST. Dominick's congregation and built a church. He was then transferred to Archbald. He leaves a father in Ireland, one brother and three sisters. Father Roche was well fitted by nature for his priestly office of which his successful life work is sufficient evidence, his ability as an organizer being generally recognized. He was highly esteemed by all with whom he was acquainted and was revered by every congregation for which he acted as pastor. Personally, he was genial and companionable and counted many warm friends among Protestants. AT LEHIGH POND Ever since he has been here Prof. DUDLEY has spoken in a mysterious Mark Twainish sort of way about Lehigh Pond until the curiosity of the class was thoroughly aroused, but remembering the recent experience on Pocono, some of them thought it was raining still up there and resolved to wait for the trip on Wednesday to Moosic Lake. A goodly number got off at Gouldsboro, however, and made inquiries for cars on the tramway running to the mills near the pond. Schedule time on the tramway was "By guess or by gum" where you guessed you'd get there and by gum you didn't. So a two-seated carryall was chartered for the ladies and the gentlemen walked. The pond is a small one surrounded by a large spognum [peat -ed] bog. It is one of the finest places in the State to study Arctic Flora driven southward before the great glacier ages ago. Arrived at its shores, Prof. Dudley saw a long-leaved sun dew. Utterly regardless of the water he made two long strides ad scooped it out; then turned back to show the ladies the difference between it ad the round-leaved. As they stood listening to him they suddenly became aware of the fact that the water was pouring in over the tops of their shoes. There was a simultaneous screeching and the Professor was left standing with no audience. The look of disgust that spread over his face was one of the studies of the day. But after that the ladies accepted wet feet as a matter of course. Among the plants found on the tip which are not included in the present list of the Institute were a beautiful white-fringed orchis found by Burt CLEARWATER; the horned bladdernut, two species of carex of the sedge family, one not known south of Wayne county hitherto. Among the rare or interesting plants were the lesser mistletoe, a parasite of the black spruce, specimens of which are to be sent to Prof. Porter of Lafayette, Dr. Britton of Columbia College, ad Mr. C. E. Smith, of Philadelphia, for the Academy of Natural Sciences' the dwarf cranberry, the smaller club moss, found by Willie PECK, who also found a handsome double pitcher plant flower; the sun dews, two species, the long leaved (rare); the grass pink, and the pagonia two orchids were abundant. The pale laurel, lahador tea, larradia or leather leaf and wild calla were among the characteristic plants. To-day the class meets at 9 o'clock. This evening Prof. Dudley will deliver a lecture in the Board of Trade rooms on the native trees of the valley. An interesting subject to which all who are interested will be welcome. Wednesday the class will accept the invitation of Mr. William CONNELL to take lunch with him at his cottage at Maplewood, visiting Moosic Lake in the afternoon. MILITARY MATTERS [condensed] Preparations are under way at the City Guard Armory for the annual encampment at Lake Ariel of the Thirteenth Regiment which commences Friday. The regiment expects to move to the encampment promptly at 8:45 on Friday morning. The baggage of companies A., B, C, and D, the field and staff, and of Bauer's Band (25 pieces) will be taken to the Armory by Thursday noon and will be loaded that day. The carpenters who are going to camp to construct floors, etc. will leave either Wednesday or Thursday mornings by 8:45 train. Liberal requisition has been made for blank cartridges, so that there will be firing at the skirmish drills instead of the dull click of the locks, which always proves so monotonous. The regiment has been tendered the use of the cannon by Lieut. Ezra S. Griffin Post for morning and evening guns. Direct mail facilities have been secured after considerable trouble. There will be two mails to and from camp each day.

Hi, I am trying to find out information on William Prosser Jenkins b. 1857 Wales and wife Elizabeth Ann (Williams) b. 1862. They lived for several years in Dalton,PA and are buried there with their son, Winfield. Does anyone have the name and address of the person who is responsible for the care and records of Dalton Cemetery across from the Jewish Cemetery in Dalton? There is no stone for them so need to seek records. ALSO... Does anyone know of someone who rents rooms to overnight guests in the Scranton area? I can't afford the motel/hotel rates around there,so was hoping to find someone who lets out rooms. I'm a non smoking senior woman who would dearly love to do some local researching! Sally

Hi all, I am looking for any information on John Jenkins and wife Jane both born 1852 in Wales. I found them in 1880 in Scranton. Children are: William b. 1869 Wales, Maggie b.1876 Scranton, John b.1878 Scranton. Does anyone have access to naturalization records? They came I think 1876/7. Could someone check birth records for the younger Jenkins,please? Thanks for any assistance. Sally

Have been a few days behind on reading the digests. My grandfather, Josiah Boyer of Taylor/ Archbald/Scranton often said he went to work in the mines at age 7, "picking slate in the breaker." He was born in 1891. He worked in the mines until they closed in the 1930's, then moved to NJ; died there at age 85.

Jim--nice connections going on about subject. I am researching a family line starting with the emigrating Jane Flynn (1808-1893), widow of James Flynn. In going through what's available at Duke Univ. Library, which is not far from where I live, I checked on all the Flynns in a couple of Lacka/Luzurne history volumes. Was amazed to find a two-page bio and photo of Jane's stepson John Flynn (both Jane and James were widowed before their marriage) who emigrated with her and went on to become a rr & coal entrepreneur, I think without any education or training, because he's a laborer in the 1860 census. Anyhow, I copied subject bio knowing that some others on the mailinglist were researching Flynns and might recognize this Robert. I saw no connection to Jane's line, but figured it would be useful to somebody. The Flynns in my line are from Crossmolina, Co. Mayo, according to an obit for Jane I found in The Providence Register, and supported by a clue in John's obit. kindly sent to me by Mary Casey, which has a mention of Ballina, which is not far from Crossmolina.

Scranton Republican, Monday, July 9, 1889 Editorial comment - Here is another proof that "the cruel war is over." The widow of Gen. PICKETT, the famous Confederate who led Pickett's division in its charge at Gettysburg and was killed, is about to marry Col. LYNCH, of the 106th Pennsylvania Regiment, whose command belonged to the Philadelphia Brigade which repelled Pickett's charge. Col. Lynch and Mrs. Pickett met at one of the reunions of the Blue and Gray on the battle-field at Gettysburg, and out of the fraternal greetings sprang the warmer sentiment that is to culminate in a wedding. This will be a union of the Blue and the Gray, although, as a matter of fact, both parties are now tolerably gray. So many English people perished at Johnstown that it is said hundreds of families in England are mourning for lost relatives. Elsewhere - Philadelphia, July 7 - Thomas Ewing SHERMAN, son of General [Tecumseh] Sherman today received the final orders of the priesthood. The ordination ceremonies were conducted by Archbishop Ryan. [condensed] Buffalo Bill [Cody] has been engaged by the French government to teach 100 cavalry officers how to ride. Neighboring Counties- Susquehanna Clifford - F. G. SMITH is the new doctor, and he comes here highly recommended. Frank B. WILLIAMS, of Scranton, a former landlord here, was in town last Sunday. Mrs. D. M. TAYLOR, of New York has been the guest of friends in this place the past week. Her husband, the late Rev. Alfred Taylor, who died at Waverly some three years since, was well known and had many warm friends in this vicinity. City and County - Bridget LAVELLE and Mrs. Catherine McDERMOTT, both charged with drunkenness, were taken to county jail yesterday. Mr. Julius ROSSANFELD left last night for his home at Delhi, La. Mrs. Bezzelbee (sic) DAVIS, of Davis & Williams, Main Ave., Hyde Park, leaves this week for Wales on a visit with her friends in the old country. She will be gone some weeks. Butcher GAFFNEY keeps a shop on lower Penn avenue. He and his wife have engaged in frequent battles recently and have several times been placed under arrest. Yesterday occurred one of their periodical quarrels which soon grew so violent that a large crowd collected. Mrs. Gaffney took exception to remarks that her husband made and attacked him with a butcher knife, cutting him twice on the neck. The wounds were not serious. No arrests were made. Summer School There were anxious inquires for the Professor at the DL&W depot Saturday morning and the class was speculating on the chances of investigating Mocanaqua without him without him when he was found in a forward car busily engaged in arranging a traveling herbarium. The day was a delightful one, there was no rain or dust. The ride along the lovely shores of the Susquehanna was a constant succession of surprises at the fine views as the train turned from one sharp curve after another revealing constant successions of wooded hills, bold cliffs, and picturesque gaps in the mountain range. At Schickshinny the class left the cars and made its way slowly up the steep narrow valley of the Mocanaqua to the falls where luncheon was eaten at the foot of the laughing silvery water that danced and played in the sunshine like fine lace thrown over ivory. Along the cliffs of conglomerate Prof. Dudley found the arplenium montanum, which had been only found heretofore on the ledges of Bald Mount, and which is a rare fern anywhere. In the rocky woods near the falls was also found the walking fern, which has the singular habit of taking root at the end of a long leaf and so stepping over the ground. Lygodium palmatum, or climbing fern, was sought for unsuccessfully. It grows in the neighborhood of Hazleton, and it would be a good plant for florists to cultivate for its decorative effects, being fully equal to smilax. The falls are higher than Nay-Aug and quite as romantic. There was, of course, an abundance of water pouring over them Saturday. Prof. DUDLEY left for Ithaca Saturday evening and returned last night. This morning the class goes to Lehigh Pond, three miles north of Gouldsboro on the DL&W RR. It is expected to ride over on some lumber cars to the mills near the pond. The flora here will be different in great measure from that found anywhere else. The train leaves at 9:50, returns at 6 o'clock. Wednesday the class takes the 7:25 train on the Erie & Wyoming Valley Railroad to Wimmer's Summit, thence to Moosic Lake. Friday the ascent of Bald Mount will be made either by carriage or on foot, as the members of the class may elect. Class studies will begin Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock in the school of the Lackawanna. The work and studies of the class for this coming week will be well worth the money it costs and those who join hitherto will find themselves amply repaid for the time and money spent by devoting a week's time to this study, some knowledge of which should be possessed by all. The excursions are all to interesting points and the class work and lectures will be full of instruction.
