This will be a treat. Thanks for the gift of your effort. Anne

A "Bucket Shop" is a sham investment firm that accepts customers trade orders but does not process them through an exchange. It also applied to accepting orders for commodities and of course, it could mean a business that deals in buckets, pails, etc. but the later would not be illegal and there would be no cause to bar their existence.

Dear Joan, Lyndwood is a section of Hanover Township near Wilkes-Barre. I have printed out your original message to PA-LAC and, when I have time, I will check to see what I can find on the Krasauskas family. It may not be for a couple of weeks though. I did look in the phone book and there is no one by that name listed. I will check it out for you. Iva Hanlon

Dear Curly, I guess you are not from the coal mining regions...most of us here have grandfathers or great-grandfathers who were breaker boys. It was the initiation for most of them to a life in the mines, God help them. Iva

You are a gem for doing this -- thanks in advance! Rita (evonri@aol.com)

Scranton Republican, Friday, July, 5, 1889 City and County The dedication of the new Polish Catholic cemetery at Minooka was postponed yesterday on account of the rain. The dedication will take place sometime in August. The funeral of the late Mrs. Thomas LUCAS will take place from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. C. W. McKINNEY, this morning at eleven o'clock. Interment at Forest Hill. Funeral strictly private. Mrs. I. H. BARNES and children are visiting relatives in Susquehanna County. Rev. and Mrs. O. P. WRIGHT left Monday for a brief vacation in New England. The prompt action of Officer David ROACH yesterday afternoon prevented what promised to be a serious conflagration. At 5:15 o'clock Officer Roach discovered that the covering of the cases in the jewelry store of John Owens on Penn avenue, near the St. Charles, were on fire. He immediately broke the glass of one of the windows, entered the store and put out the flames, which had done very little damage. All of this occurred before the department arrived. The officer gashed one of his hands painfully in breaking the glass. Death of Mrs. William Conwell. Mrs. William CONWELL, wife of the well-known foreman of the running department of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western machine shops, died early yesterday morning at her residence on Franklin avenue. Deceased was a well-known and highly respected lady and her death will be greatly regretted. She leaves four children. Druggist Charles H. Conwell and three daughters. She will be buried to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. A Solemn High Mass will be celebrated at St. Peter's Cathedral. Interment will be made in the Hyde Park Catholic cemetery. Death of Mrs. Oakley Mrs. Henry OAKLEY, of Oak street, Providence section of the city, died yesterday afternoon after an illness of nearly one year. For the past four weeks she has suffered constant and intense pain from a complication of difficulties which baffled most skillful medical treatment. Mrs. Oakley was born in Wilkes-Barre where also she married Mr. Henry Oakley. Early in life she united with the First presbyterian church of that city, during the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Dorrance. The family afterward lived in Tunkhannock and Factoryville, taking up their residence in this city in 1867. For the past twenty-nine years Mrs. Oakley has been a zealous member of the Providence Presbyterian church, and when health would permit was seldom absent from her pew on the Lord's day or for the Wednesday evening service of conference and prayer. By nature she was of charitable disposition, which found expression in deeds of mercy and benevolence. She leaves a daughter and husband and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. DIED MALONEY - In Scranton, July 3, Mrs. Martin Maloney. Funeral from the residence of the deceased, 459 Phelps street, at 10 a.m. this morning. Sports news Among those who were the first to hear that Scranton intended to organize a base ball club was H. C. FISHER, Scranton`s old manager. Harry immediately wrote on offering his services and promising to secure a team able to cope with any other in the league. He has been running a bucket shop at Springfield, at which he has made considerable money, but was recently forced to suspend by an act of the Ohio Legislature which directed that all bucket shops should be closed. Fisher will be remembered as the man who brought to Scranton the strongest club it ever had, including "Cub" Stricker, now the king second baseman of the country. West Side news Mr. John T. EVANS, mine inspector, of Johnstown, and his two sons, who were supposed to have been drowned in the late flood, are visiting Mr. Morgan LAKE on Washburn street for a few weeks. Mrs. Maggie THOMAS, of Plymouth, is spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. David D. BROWN, of South Eynon street. A letter has been received by Mr. E. J. Davis from Dr. WILLIAMS, pastor of the Welsh Baptist church, who, together with his family, are now on a visit to Europe. It states that Mr. WIlliams withstood the journey admirably, but his wife and two children were ill while en route. Misses SMITH and Mary MORGANS, of Plymouth, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. WILLIAMS, on Eynon street. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Evan J. DAVIS, on South Main avenue, was the scene of unusual mirth and enjoyment last evening, the occasion being the twenty-first anniversary of his daughter, Miss Mary Jane. A number of her most intimate and warmest associates, constituting a bevy of excellent young people of this side, assembled and utterly surprised Miss Davis as she was returning home from the pyrotechnic display on Luzerne street. Miss Davis, on entering the room and finding so many young people, was completely overcome. At the conclusion of the games in which a collation was spread by Mrs. Davis, assisted by her son Willie, who was so blackened and attired as to perfectly resemble a negro youth and Miss Stella Meridith. Among those who were present were: Miss Stella MEREDITH, Sarah MEREDITH, Lizzie REYNOLDS, Anna DAVIS, Mary A. DAVIS, Sadie WILLIAMS, Plymouth; Edith POWELL, Esther HUGHES, Norma HUGHES, Lizzie JONES, Lizzie WILLIAMS, Maggie JENKINS, and Messrs. Ed ROBERHAN, James HUGHES, T. Turner THOMAS, T. J. REYNOLDS, David T. THOMAS, Thomas MARSHALL, T. W. JENKINS, Joseph MATHIAS, John DAVIS, and John REYNOLDS. Wilkes-Barre John WILLIAMS, living near the Keystone colliery, Mill Creek, was struck by the northbound Central passenger train between Mill Creek and Laflin last evening. He was knocked down the bank and found lying in the buses. He was picked up and brought to a Scranton hospital. He was bruised about the head but it is thought not seriously. One place in the city celebrated the Fourth in an enthusiastic manner. This was the saloon of Evan M. WILLIAMS on East Market street. All day long a crowd filled the scanty bar-room and the piano medley that agitated the smoke-laden atmosphere set every well regulated disciple of Bacchus, eruueting about in high-glee. James HUGHES of Duryea, a young man, well-dressed and apparently well behaved, was enticed into the place by the music. He was a stranger to all but having money to buy beer he was soon in the midst of a convivial crowd. At noon the police were notified that the "Welcome Home", or some such title as William's place goes by, was the scene of a fight. Chief MEYERS and Officers CONNORS, CLARK, and other hurried to the spot and found Hughes unable to stand and covered with bruises. He was under the influence of liquor, but told who his assailants were. Accordingly he was placed in an omnibus and Evan M. Williams, the proprietor, together with his two sons, Gomer and Evan M. Jr., and William LEWIS were arrested and taken along to police headquarters. Daniel EDWARDS said Hughes had got into trouble with Lewis, had been told to leave, started to go when Lewis attacked him. Hughes is a muscular young fellow with red hair, and consequently held his own until Williams and his two sons came to the rescue of Lewis when all bore him to the floor and kicked him till he could do no more. William ESCOTT told the same story, and the Mayor fined Lewis $15, Williams $10, and the two boys $5 each. When Hughes was taken to headquarters it was not known [if] his injuries might prove fatal, but at the end of the hearing he left the office escorted by an officer to hunt up some relatives whom he said he had in the city. Williams told Hughes not to come to his place again, and the latter intimated that he didn't need the injunction.

Does anyone know if the burials in Clark's Green Cemetery and the Hickory Grove Cemetery have been recorded? If so, are the listings online or in print? If online, what is the address? If in print, who printed them and how much do they cost?

Starting this week I will be posting more articles from the Scranton Republican. This time starting from July 5, 1889. I don't know if I will transcribe two weeks, or only one; it will depend on how busy I get before returning the roll of microfilm to the State Library at the end of next week. This series will have a bit more 'flavor' than previous postings. I couldn't resist transcribing some of the colorful character that was prevalent in writings of that day. However be advised that some of the content will be "darker" and more somber as well.

To get to Clarks Green Cemetery, if you are coming up Route 6 from Scranton, go to the light at the top of the hill (you'll be on State Street at the corner of Grove Street). Turn right on East Grove Street, go past the school and watch for Spring Street on the left before the next light. Turn left on Spring Street and go to the end. The cemetery sits on the far left.

Hi, I'm new at this and live in Tenn. Can someone PLEASE do a deed look-up for me. For property at 1004 Clearview St, Scranton,Pa. Suppose to be owned by Anna Moritzkat, I don't know what year it was purchased or sold, but that was my husbands grandmother, and I'm looking for any little bit of info I can find about her. All I know is she migrated from Germany and it had to be before her sons William (b. 1899 in N.Y.) and Gustave (b. Sept. 1900, in N. Y.) were born. She had 2 other sons Richard, and Fred, who I understand changed his name to Morris. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Swanee
