Subject: [PAWAYNE] Masons in Scranton I'm researching Marion A. GREGORY who was a Mason living in Scranton. He was born in PA c1854 and died in Scranton between 1920 and 1930. He may have belonged to the Ovid Chapter, No. 92 R. A. M. which had been chartered on 7 Feb 1850. He lived at 440 Wheeler Avenue in Scranton and had a son Ralph A. and a daughter Leona who was married to Gustav Vogelsburger. I desperately need Marion's obituary. Can anyone do a look-up in the Scranton cemeteries please? Are the Scranton cemeteries on-line? How can I contact the Scranton Public Librqary? Is there a Masonic Lodge currently in Scranton? Can some kind soul please send me information on the Scranton Masons? How might I contact the locaal Masons? HELP. Thanx.

Thank you, Jean, Lynda and Jeff for your speedy replies. I appreciate your info and will follow-up on your leads. I scanned my Abington Dairy picture and posted to my iweb. Here is the link to view my Grandfather and friends outside Abington Dairy. If you'd like to take a look, click on the link below. Jean, let me know if your pictures look anything like mine! http://web.mac.com/ritcee/iWeb/Scranton/Abington%20Dairy.html --Rita (Mahon) Akers Santa Monica, CA

Rita, When I was a child (50+ years ago!) I used to visit an aunt in Clark Summit, Lackawanna Cty, PA. Visiting was not high on my list of activities but Aunt Irene used to take us for ice cream, the highlight of the trip from CT. I am quite sure we went to the "Abington Dairy". Of course, at this point I have no clue where it was other than in the Clark Summit area. Lackawanna County has a great historical society. I bet someone there can help you. Sorry I don't have more detail. Jeff in CT ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Hi, I apologize and ask for your understanding for my use of this genealogical mailing list to ask a non-genealogical question. The vast majority of time spent at my computer is genealogically related. I do not wish to give up my genealogical research due to eyesight loss since it is still possible to continue, even though at a much more limited and slower manner. As I have mentioned in the past the los of my remaining eyesight has resulted in a different approach and time required to conduct genealogical research. However, I continue to look for new software and hardware making research not only possible but also faster. I have recently found two software programs that will be of significant assistance. Both new software programs require a headphone/microphone. I am considering the purchase of digital wireless headphone/microphone. Bluetooth appears to be the most common wireless technology available. If anyone has knowledge of different brands of wireless headphone/microphone, or have used such or even own one I would greatly appreciate your opinion. 1. There are many brands and models ranging in a wide price. Is it one of those situations where you actually get what you pay for? 2. What is the best make and model from your experience or your opinion? 3. Is the difference between wireless vs. wired headphone/microphone significant? The reason for question 3 results from the necessity of a high quality microphone for one of the software' programs that is being evaluated. This particular software program convert's speech to text. I currently have an excellent text to Speech software program. This new software program that I am looking at has voice recognition, which many of you with cell phones would be familiar with, but it carries it one-step further by actually typing what is spoken. The clarity of the speech through the microphone is extremely important. If anyone has knowledge and wishes to be of assistance to me, please contact me "OFF LIST AT easamson@comcast.net." Thank you all again, Erik Erik A Samson Scranton PA 18505 easamson@comcast.net

Rita, There is an Abington near Philadelphia. I would assume there was a dairy there. If no one knows of an Abington Dairy in Lackawanna County, you might want to check in with the folks in the Abington area. I believe that would be Montgomery County. You might want to put a scan of it up on your webspace (usually given by your Internet provider) and then provide a link for others to view it. Also, try searching for Abington Dairy on eBay. That's the sort of thing that would be collectible. If you're familiar with eBay, you can put it in your Favorite Searches and be notified by e-mail whenever an Abington Dairy item comes up for sale. Make sure you do your search as "Abington Dairy" with the quotation marks or you'll be getting notified for every Abington and Dairy item. Many sellers provide very good histories related to their items, so you can pick up some valuable info that way. Good luck.

Rita, There was a dairy in South Abington, Luzerne Co. PA purchased by Emory & Catherine (Hudson) Stone in 1863. By 1870 South Abington became what is now Lackawanna Co. I don't know how long the dairy existed but possibly long after Emory died in 1908. He had at least 3 sons who remained in the area. Possibly some of the information on this website will help. http://134.198.33.115/southabington/history.htm I would like to see the picture you have & can possibly match people up with some of the Stone family pictures I have, if in fact it is this dairy in Lackawanna Co.

HI Everyone, Just dug up some family skeletons on my grannies 4th hubby ADOLPHUS HENRY NEY born in 1876 in Germany. I went on a new site Footnote.com that is copying records from the Nat'l Archives. I input Adolphus' name & printed out 80+ pages from The Federal Bureau of Investigation on gold ole Adolphus. Fantastic info on him from this report. He was a famous chemist & that I knew but did not know he was a German Alien Enemy No. 4095 during WW1. He came to the US first in 1903 & lived in Buffalo, then went to England & returned in 1910. I found on Ancestry a city directory for Scarsdale, NY for 1918-1919 for him on POST ROAD. He was arrested & sent to Ft. Oglethorpe prison in GA 3/14/1919, and paroled in Dec 1919. He was then in jail 5/15/1920 in Scranton, PA for embezzlement & issuing threats that he was going to blow-up the Sepoy Color Co. plant where he worked. Are the City directories on line anywhere for Scranton? He did not marry my Grannie until after 1928. Can't locate him the 1920 census anwhere. Trying to find a time frame so I can narrow down where & when he married her. Also was wondering how to find out if I can obtain any of the court records on his arrest if they still exist. And is the Sepoy Color Plant still around? Any help on this would be great. I have been searching 10 years on Adophus and this is the first real info I have except his 1910 passenger list. Thanks Suzi Motley Wilmington, NC

The only information I have is information from the tombstones from the old section of the Milwaukee Cemetery. This area is across the street from the Milwaukee Cemetery. It goes from the creek to the dirt roadway. There is another cemetery on the other side of the roadway as well as across the street (next to the Milwaukee Cemetery. These cemeteries are on the Zeiss property. I don't have any information on the people buried in these cemeteries. In the old Milwaukee Cemetery: I found noone with those last names Susan On Jul 8, 2007, at 12:36 PM, Dorothy Rutherford wrote: > Hi, any Starks or Haupts? > dot > > ---- Original Message ----- > From: "LaCoe" <lacoe@microserve.net> > To: <PALACKAW-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 12:14 PM > Subject: [PALACKAW] Milwaukee Cemetery > > >> I have digital pictures of the tombstones (directly across from the >> Milwaukee Methodist Church) in the Milwaukee Cemetery.

Bill, I searched through the immigration records on ancestry.com but couldn't come up with anything on your Fehlingers. Since you know the exact date of arrival of their ship you may want to try a site such as _http://www.immigrantships.net_ (http://www.immigrantships.net) to see if you can come up with anything there. You may already have this info but I did find what I think is your family in the 1870 Census for the 1st Ward of Wilkes Barre, PA: FAILINGER, Frank age 40 Head Laborer Born: Baden Value of Real Estate: $900 Johanna age 38 Wife Keeping House Born: Baden Mary age 7 daughter Born: Baden William age 6 son Born: Pennsylvania Franklin age 2 son Born: Pennsylvania Happy searching! Kim ********************************************************** My Great Grandparents came to Scranton in December 1863. They actually arrived in America on 31 December. They were German Lutheran and lived in Scranton for about three years before relocating to W-B. Without coming up to Scranton, is there any way of obtaining any information on them. I just have to determine , if possible, the town in Germany they left. I have possible leads that it was Sattelbach or Fahrenbach. I do have records of his brother from these towns and his family coming to America. The family name is FEHLINGER. His name was Franz and his wife was Johanna. They had two daughters, Louisa and Mary.
