Rich, if you mean the one going to Clark Summit, around the "circle" I don't remember the exact year, but we moved up there about 1957, and I don't think it was started yet. Could you try the DOT records? Ruth ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Does anybody remember, or know, when the Scranton Expressway was built? Trying to determine about when certain street changes occurred in that area.
You are performing a great service to preserving the History of our Country! A cemetery that concerns me is the old cemetery at Beemerville, New Jersey. A visit there in the early 1990's found this cemetery in deplorable condition. At least one Revolutionary Soldier is buried in this cemetery, William Hedglin( my ancestor). The DAR marked this grave in about 1933-1935. You take your chances in walking this cemetery. There are many sunken graves covered with vines. There is a very old listing of this cemetery on the internet; it however, does not include the name of William Hedglin. This Cemetery also deserves a project similar to the James Cemetery one. Perhaps a local DAR Chapter could investigate the possibility. I live in Mississippi.

Hi Ella -- I have no association with this family, but I had a few minutes and thought I would do a lookup to see if I can add any info. 1880 United States Federal Census > Pennsylvania > Lackawanna > Scanton > District 73 ED 13 page 5 John Griffiths 41 born Wales Laura Griffiths 33 born Wales Hugh Griffiths 10 born Wales Kate A. Griffiths 8 New York John Griffiths 8 born New York Richard Griffiths 7 born New York William Griffiths 6 born New York Laura Griffiths 4 born New York Mary Griffiths 3 born PA Evan Griffiths 1M born PA 1900 Census ED 6 Sheet 5 1900 United States Federal Census > Pennsylvania > Lackawanna > Blakely > District 6 Laura Griffiths 51 born July 1848 Wales widowed, mother of 12 children|12 living says she immigrated 1869 John J Griffiths 27 born July 1872 New York Evan Griffiths 19 Evan and all other children were born in PA - both parents born in Wales Maggie Griffiths 17 Thomas Griffiths 15 Edward Griffiths 13 Lizzie Griffiths 10 Looks like they emigrated after Hugh was born. I don't see the rest of the children in your posting. This seems to be the correct family. And Laura was widowed between 1890-1900. I hope this is helpful. There is a Hugh GRIFFITHS living in Binghamton in 1920 married to Rhoda children are Verna and Ruth. Census says he was born 1870 in Wales but arrived in 1877.

Good luck on your followup. I would be tickled if somebody found the obits useful. Anne Ruthfam@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 3/18/2007 12:44:25 P.M. Central Standard Time, atullnc@yahoo.com writes: The Scranton Times, Thursday, September 28, 1933. Hugh Kelly, well known Old Forge resident, died yesterday morning in the home of his niece, Mrs.William Pilosi, of 500 South Main street, Old Forge. He was born at Carbondale, but had resided at Old Forge for several years. He was a communicant of St. Lawrence Church, Old Forge. Besides his niece he leaves two nephews, Joseph and John Dacey, of Carbondale. The funeral will be Friday morning with a requiem mass at 9:30 oâclock in St. Lawrence Church. Interment, St. Josephâs cemetery, Minooka. (This may be a relative of my husband's) A high mass of requiem will be celebrated in St. Lucyâs Italian church tomorrow morning for Rocco Gentile, of 218 South Tenth avenue. Burial will be in Cathedral cemetery. ( I'm almost certain this is a relative of my husband.) Mrs. Sarah Jane Reese, wife of Fred Reese, of 2200 Luzerne street, died at noon today after a brief illness. She was a daughter of the late Morgan Davis. Besides her husband she leaves a daughter, Ruth Reese; four sons, Thomas, Russell, Gordon and Raymond Reese; her mother, Mrs. Maria Davis; a sister, Mrs. Louise Gross; three brothers, Elliott, Morgan and John Davis. (One of his relatives married an Ed Gross) Thanks, Anne, I will check on these, but I'm pretty sure at least one of them is a relative of my husbands.
