Hello I am looking for information on Jane Mills, in West Pittston. She is widowed with 7 children, Elizabeth, John, Edward, William, Susan, Hattie (Harriet), and Sarah.

I am looking for information on Jane Mills. She lived in West Pitston from 1900-1930. In 1930 she lived with her son Edward. Jane was 72 and Edward was 50. Jane would have died after 1930, but don't know when. There were 8 children and 7 living, Elizabeth, John, Edward, William, Susan, Harriet , and Sarah. In 1880 Jane and Husband Edward lived in Highland, where Elizabeth, John and Edward (Everett) were born. Not sure where they lived between 1880 and 1900. Jane was from England and was supposed to be Naturalized in 1896. Would like Death info, Obits,Marriages or any info on the family. Will reimburse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Patsy

Both these cemeteries (along with 3 or 4 others) are on Washington St. which is up on the hill in Nanticoke. There is a small map of Nanticoke on the front page of the www.nanticokepa.com site Eleanore

I Googled "St. Stanislaus Cemetery Luzerne County PA" and found this: http://www.polishroots.com/paha/luzerne_penn.htm "The deeply rooted faith of the Polish pioneers led them to overcome insurmountable obstacles in the practice of religious duties. The faithful rode in wagons, went by boat down the Susquehanna River, or walked to St. Nicholas Church (German), Wilkes-Barre, a distance of ten miles. As soon as the little band's population increased, the Poles of Nanticoke organized a parish of their own. Twenty families and as many single men decided to get annually a Polish missionary from Chicago until a pastor would be installed in the newly founded parish of St. Stanislaus B. M. Rev. Szulak, S.J., of Chicago celebrated Mass in 1872, in the home of Francis Miklasz, the first home built by a Pole.11 The actual building of St. Stanislaus Church began in 1875.12 The little church was built of rough boards, 50 feet long, and had a seating capacity of fifty. The chinks in the walls forced the congregation to push to the center when it rained or snowed. The structure resembled a barn more than an edifice, and it became the butt for jokes among the non-Polish inhabitants of Nanticoke. Catcalls and stones were showered upon worshippers hastening to Mass. This form of annoyance came to a stop, owing to a little unintentional strategy. One day the usual crowd gathered to enact the obnoxious performance. To the consternation of the hooting spectators, a singular sight met their gaze. The male population of St. Stanislaus parish, resplendent in the uniforms of the "Gwardia Pulaskiego Rycerzy Polskich," marched down the street, with drawn swords. The martial bearing and the stern visages of the men struck terror into the hearts of the tormentors. Panic stricken they fled. The populace believed that the Poles, goaded beyond endurance by the persecutions, retaliated with armed resistance. Organization of church societies and patriotic manifestations put a stop to the petty annoyances. Hereafter, the Poles were rarely molested in the pursuance of religious freedom and peaceful assembly.13 Replacing the earlier barn-like structure, the parishioners erected a new church in 1877 and enlarged it in 1886.14 St. Stanislaus became the mother church to all the Poles dispersed throughout Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties. The steady progress of the Polish settlements necessitated the establishment of new churches to accommodate the ever increasing numbers. The following Polish parishes were organized during the great immigration period beginning from 1880 up to the outbreak of the First World War: St. Adalbert, Glen Lyon, 1880; St. Joseph, Hudson, 1882; Maternity B. V. M., Wilkes-Barre, and Nativity B. V. M., Plymouth, 1885; St. Stanislaus B. M., Hazleton, 1892; Our Lady of the Rosary, Duryea and Holy Trinity, Nanticoke, 1894; St. Peter and Paul, Plains and St. John the Baptist, E. Plymouth, 1898; St. Hedwig, Kingston, St. Mary, Nanticoke, and Holy Family, Sugar Notch, 1901; Sacred Heart, Dupont, 1903; St. John the Baptist, Exeter, 1904; Transfiguration, West Hazleton and St. Mary, Mocanaqua, 1906; St. Joseph, Pittston and St. Stanislaus Kostka, Wilkes-Barre, 1908; St. Peter and Paul. Avoca, 1909; St. Michael Archangel, Glen Lyon and Our Lady of Czestochowa, Swoyerville, 1910; and St. Joseph, Wyoming, 1914. Later, four more were added to the list of Polish parishes.15" Einstein "I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein -----Original Message----- From: paluzern-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:paluzern-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Nannie1331@aol.com Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 10:43 AM To: PALUZERN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PALUZERN] where is St. Stanislaus cemetery & Nanticoke CityCemetery Does anyone have the address for the church cemetery I cant find it online and for Nanticoke City Thanks Nan ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PALUZERN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Folkes, I live out here in San Diego, originally from Luzerne Co.,, Lake Township as a matter of fact. I was reading the North County Times here and I saw a picture of Jim Johnson in a tube on Harvey"s Lake in a Santa suit. I thought that was pretty cool. That is actually the first news item I have seen on Luzerne Co., out here that didn't have disaster written all over it. I guess Luzerne Co., is getting much bigger. Good for you guys back there and Happy Hollidays. Phyllis Phyllis Fisher Hoofish1@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi Listers hope everyone had a nice holiday! I need some help! I am taking a road trip to Nanticoke on Sat. I want to check out some cemeteries. 1. Is there any place in town that I can get a street map of Nanticoke. If I could get it online before I leave that would be great too! 2. Is the Historical Society gonna be open? 3. Any tips on where to eat lunch! I would prefer a locals place! 4. I am going to a couple of the Polish churches would anyone be at the churches. I know there were other questions but can't think of them right now. Thanks so much for your help! Nancy in Delaware looking forward to cemetery hopping! (Even though hubby isn't)

If you have sent any files to me for the Luzerne PAGenWeb site, please send them to me again. Two weeks ago, I had a crash on my laptop and lost absolutely everything including my websites. It wasn't just a crash, but the hard drive actually collapsed. The information could not even be retrieved from the drive. To make matters worse, I had not backed up my work for a while. Needless to say, a lesson was learned. My new laptop arrived on Wednesday (in the midst of the busiest time of the year) and I have spent every free minute installing my programs since then. I expect to get my sites downloaded back to my computer within the next two weeks and then I can get back to genealogy again. Thanks for your understanding and Merry Christmas to all.

Hi all, Just a quick note to wish you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
