My grandfather (almost 99 and still living in Carbondale) use to work (repaired railroad watches) for Burr at his jewelry store back in the early part of the last century -- then purchased the business back in the 40s. My dad mentioned the watch and my grandfather said that based on the description, it'd be worth about $140.

Jim I found your search for John Dolan very interesting particularly about the enlistment records. I was interested in finding my great uncle's Harry (Henry) 'Yi' Jones service record. According to his obituary which Iva Hanson kindly found for me, 'He was a veteran of World War II and the Korean conflict, having served in the Marines.' I looked for sources on how to get this information on the web and continually came across the fact that the vast majority of these records were destroyed as you said by fire. My question is to what extent? What are my chances of finding anything like your super find in the enlistment records? Would be grateful for your thoughts.

Glen, I think you have a good chance of obtaining his full service record. The records destroyed in the fire were Army and Air Force - the Marines are part of the Navy. Go to the below web site and you will find instructions on how to apply for his records. I think you will find you have to download, or request, a form which you will send to St. Louis, Missouri. If you still can't get anything, I would give the enlistment records a try, but I'm sure how you do that from Wales. http://www.nara.gov/regional/mpr.html Jim Dolan At 01:55 PM 07/19/2001, you wrote: > Jim > >I found your search for John Dolan very interesting >particularly about the enlistment records.

do you know if you are any relation to Ann Jane Fitzsimmons- my grandmother-- Gerri Craven

Dear Barbara, You probably think that I have forgotten all about your request...not so, but we just had a new baby in the family and with a Christening and company descending on me, etc., I just have not had a chance to get to it. Anyway, today I got a chance to go up to City Hall to check on Julia Kembell. I did find her. She is buried in the City Cemetery, as you thought. In the register, it said: Mrs. Julia Kembell, age 60 years, died May 29, 1911, lot #106 So, since I had the date of death, I went over to the Historical Society and looked up her obituary. Since I don't have a scanner, I will type what it said: The Times-Leader, Tuesday evening, May 30, 1911 PLAINS WOMAN DEAD At the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Brader, 75 Abbott Steeet, Plains, occurred the death yesterday morning of Mrs. Julia Kemble (sic), aged 66 years, after three months' illness. She is survived by the following children: T.A. Kembel (sic), Mrs. Herbert Doland, Mrs. William J. Morgans and Elmer, of Parsons, and Mrs. Charles A. Brader of Plains; also the following sisters: Mrs. Abe Simpson of Scranton, Mrs. Sarah Keaster and Mrs. Joseph Ditchfield of Treverton. She was a member of the M. E. church of Parsons. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from the home of Charles A. Brader, with interment in the City Cemetery. Those wishing to view the remains will have the opportunity on Wednesday between the hours of 10 and 1:30. >From the Times-Leader, Thursday evening, June 1, 1911 MRS. JULIA KIMBEL (sic) BURIED The funeral of Mrs. Julia Kimbel took place from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Brader, Abbot Street, Plains, and was largely attended. The services were in charge of Rev. Lathrope of Parsons, assisted by Rev. J.M. Eckhart of Scranton; also Rev. Bailey of Plains; Rev. Williams of Parsons and Rev Thomas of Pittston. Mrs. Edgar Anderson of Parsons sang several solos. The casket was surrounded with beautiful floral tributes. Those who carried flowers were William Kimbel, Raymond Morgans and Russell Doland. The pall bearers were William Hilburt, Sr., Edmund Egge, Thomas Richardson, William Keats, Henry Willoughby and Ervan Hague. Interment was in City Cemetery.

Fellow List Members, I thought I would share a recent find, that I hope you will find interesting. A couple years ago a cousin gave me pictures of a rather distinguished looking soldier in the U.S. Army. He remembered his mother giving it to him and telling him it was a relative on the Dolan side. I sent the picture to the U.S. Army Military History Institute, in Carlisle, and asked for all the information they could give me based on the uniforms. Their reply framed the time of service from about 1900 to 1934 and stated he was a First Sgt. in the Third Division, of the U.S. Army Engineers. The 1900 Census shows a John Dolan, my grandfather's brother, occupation listed as 'Sailor'. I have a picture of my grandfather when he was about 30 and he was a dead ringer for the gentleman in the picture. I figured that the picture was of John, but how do I prove it? I showed the picture to an Aunt and she immediately said it was a 'Dolan'. However, she didn't pin it down at the time. A few months later I received a Christmas card, with a note, saying the picture was her father's brother. This was backed-up a bit later when my cousin called and said he thought his mother told him it was her father's brother. Last month my wife and I were in Washington D.C. for a reunion of the ship I was on while serving in the Navy. While there I spent more than a couple hours doing research at the National Archives. One of the things I looked for were any Army records I could find for a John Dolan. I was not given much hope, I was told most records in that time frame had been destroyed by a fire in St. Louis. One archivist suggested I check enlistment records. I submitted a request for any enlistment records for a John Dolan. Well, there were a lot more John Dolans than I ever expected. I started on the first box, after looking carefully at a half dozen records, I felt I better scan them quickly, or I would never finish. I scanned the next one and picked-up another. I thought no, I'd better look at that again. Boy, was that a good decision. A closer look revealed my John Dolan. Without getting into too much detail here is an outline of his military career. He enlisted in May of 1900 in the Marines (Sailor). When he re-enlisted it was into the U.S. Army. His records show he served at; Fort Slocum N.Y., Fort Monroe, Va., Fort Leavenworth, Kan. And Fort Sam Houston, Tx. Some of his efficiency reports are listed and it seems, for the most part, he was a damn good soldier. However, one can't serve in the U.S. Army thirty-some years without incident. In 1911 he was stationed at Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio, Texas. It appears John may have gone on a 3 day 'toot' and was AWOL. As a result he was court martialed. He pleaded guilty and was fined $14. The record indicates the prosecuting officer was one Captain Douglas McArthur. My guess is that this is the 'Douglas McArthur'; I'll have to confirm that in timee. Needless to say my search into John's past is just beginning. Notice in the attached picture that John wears a wedding band...hmmm. I tried to send a picture, but the post was rejected. It's seems attachments are against the rules...probably a good idea. Jim Dolan

Anne, You're right, early on the death certificates seemed to call it Hyde Park Cemetery, then they added Catholic to it and then it became Cathedral Cemetery. Mary

I will be visiting Scranton soon and was wondering about the following: Does anyone know where the Scranton Dry Goods was located? Also, Salben's Women's Clothing? I am trying to remember where the main streets were where I used to shop. My mother used to teach at Longfellow School. Is that still around? Does anyone on list remember where it was? Barbara

I've been guessing that "Hyde Park" means Cathedral Cemetery on old death certificates. Has anybody else thought so, too, or is that my idiosyncratic leap of speculation? I've thought this might be so because I have found other instances of what looks like the names of locations instead of the names of cemeteries(for the entry about place of burial on the DC form). Also because of the strict practice of Catholics being buried only in Catholic cemeteries. I doubt that a priest would have officiated at a burial elsewhere. What do you think? Anne
