I remember the radar base near the Youngstown airport. It was Airforce as I recall and in those days we had F86 and F80's. David W. Diffenderfer [email protected] P. O.

Here are three "in-line" obituaries.  I am interested in all those who are descendants of these GERBERs. GERBER. ­ On the 8th of Jan. 1891, near Walnut Creek, Holmes Co., O., Jacob Gerber, aged 68 years, 10 months and 12 days. He was born Feb. 26th, 1822, married Rose Kuhns, by whom he had 4 children one died in infancy. She died Sept., 10th, 1858. His second wife was Rachel Hattery, whom he married April 9th, 1865, and with whom he had 5 children. He was a member of the Amish Mennonite church. Services at the Walnut Creek church by E. Mast and Nobertius Sproll, of Miami Co., Ind., from Heb. 9: 27. GERBER - Jacob, son of Jacob and Rachel Gerber, was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, Nov. 7, 1874; departed this life at his home near Neshannock Falls, Lawrence Co., Pa., Aug. 27, 1945, following an extended illness; aged 70y. 9 m. 20 d. Surviving are his widow (Fannie Moose Gerber), 7 children (Frank, at home; Mrs. Clarence Richeal, New Castle, Pa.; Mrs. Jacob Conrad, Wooster, Ohio; Elton, Volant, Pa.; Mervin, Orrville, Ohio; Mrs. Harold Miller, New Castle, Pa.; and Geneva, at home), 25 grandchildren, and one great-grandson. He was a member of the Maple Grove Mennonite Church near New Wilmington, Pa. Funeral services were conducted at the home by R. D. Kauffman and at the church by E. J. Zook and David Steiner. Text, Heb. 9:27. Interment was made in the church cemetery GERBER, Mervin L., son of Jacob and Fanny (Moose) Gerber, was born at Mercer, Pa., Apr. 5, 1906; died of a heart attack at Orrville, Ohio, Feb. 5, 1973; aged 66 y. 10 m. On Jan. 12, 1928, he was married to Laura Troyer, who survives. Also surviving are 4 sons (Myron, Thurman, Leonard, and Garry), 3 daughters (Pearl, June, and Elsie), 18 grandchildren, on brother (Frank), and 3 sisters (Geneva, Mrs. Melva Miller, and Mrs. Mary Thelken). He was a member of the Orrville Mennonite Church, where funeral services were held on Feb. 9, in charge of J. Lester Graybill; interment in the Sherwood Memorial Gardens, Madisonburg. These might me GARBERs rahter than GERBERs.  Please let me know if you have information on the descendant lines.  Thanks Doug Garber

I am hoping to find the obituary for Mary Snyder of Hickory, Mercer Co, Pa - d. 1 Dec 1886 - age 87. She was the widow of Andrew Snyder. This is not his nephew - Andrereas Snyder who married Anna Booth

You're welcome. The Biglers are my family; so our ancestors must have been friends and neighbors. Evelyn

Evelyn Thank you so much for the information. This is what I have been looking for. James Linn was in the War of 1812, and on the Mercer site listed under War Heros he was listed as being buried in Bigler Cemetery. Now things seem to make a little more sense. I think I may have a handle on this (not a GRIP). Knowing where the cemetery is located is a big help. I am trying the talk my Dad (who is 85 years) into taking a trip back to Greenville. That cemetery would be first on our list of stops. Thanks again.

For those of you not familiar with Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness, I would like to direct you to that site: www.raogk.com or www.raogk.org (Both addresses take you to the same place.) Some of you may find you able to volunteer in your own area. If everyone chips in and helps out a little, a lot will get done!!! In areas with only one volunteer it may take a longer time to get what you need, patience is required! Also would like to point out that the 1852-54 Mercer County Births, Death, and Marriages are indexed at: www.rootsweb.com/~pabutle2 Thanks, Pat "Volunteer of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at http://www.raogk.org/"

This is the same thing I've heard from county officials in some other counties -- not enough people to handle the work they already have, and copying old wills for genealogists has near-zero priority, especially for non-residents who don't vote in the county. I hope the historical society will step up to help them -- and all of us distant researchers. It's already working in some places -- hopefully Mercer Co. has a similarly active group of volunteers.

Correction to previous message. Of course the Linns, etc. are buried in Old Salem Cemetery, not church. The church no longer stands. On the Mercer County site, in the cemetery index, the cemetery is referred to as "Bigler graves"--the Old Salem in the index in an entirely different cemetery. No wonder you are confused. Can I help you? Evelyn

First--it was the "Seceder Cemetery" (referring to a branch of the Presbyterian Church--Seceders-- which fell into disuse, and remaining graves were later moved to Shenango Valley Cemetery--both are in the borough of Greenville. .. Second: there are Linns and Williamsons buried in the "Old Salem Church", on PA Route 58 , just south of Greenville, very near the line between Delaware and Hempfield Twp., Mercer County. The cemetery is sometimes called Bigler Cemetery, for Jacob and Susan Bigler, parents of two governors are buried there. Have you looked at the maps and Cemetery information on the Rootsweb Mercer County site? Address should appear below.
