I am having trouble finding an obituary on line. I was hoping some kind soul would point me to a URL or maybe even transcribe it for me. The obituary would be for Helen Wise of Number Five although I believe she was living in a nursing home in Mercer when she passed away two days ago on Saturday, June 4, 2005. I don't even know if the obituary has been printed yet. Thanks, Jim Wise

Thank you all. It did work with I. Explorer. Thanks again.

Don't know why you can't access it. Try going to your search engine ( ie google, Yahoo, etc) and try entering from there. Perhaps it isn't opening as a forward from a web site. Pat

IT doesn't work on the AOL browser. Put it in IE and it works. It doesn't really search by city, just state, but if you have a unique enough name, like McWhirter, you aren't overwhelmed. Wonder how long it will be free... Amy McWhirter Hutton

Not sure if you are referring to the item I placed about this search engine, http://www.zabasearch.com/, but it is free. I have had so many emails from people thanking me for providing it, so know it is accessible.

Stephen, Thanks for the history of Eastbrook. Knew it was called Skidnore and Eastbrook Station, but not Rifle Range Station. My GF lived top of the hill from the lake and friends of my Aunt had a small store in the community. Sincerely, Larry Stephen Fisher <slfgene@earthlink.net> wrote: Recently picked up my genealogy work again. Following is taken from a handwritten document held by Dennis Best, Newcastle PA. I photocopied it during a trip to PA several years ago. Believe the document was the result of an interview with Louisa Black concerning the Best Farm near Eastbrook, PA, originally owned by my Fisher ancestors and later passed to the Blacks. Do not know when it was written but by my records Sarah Louisa (Fisher) Black was born in 1863 and died in the 1930s or 1940s. In transcribing the document, I have tried to be faithful to the spelling, capitalization and punctuation of the original document. Happy to provide a scan of the document to anyone interested. Will also submit to the Mercer and Lawrence Genweb sites for posterity. Stephen Fisher ----- Denny and Carol's Farm In Newcastle, Lawrence Co., Pa. Following notes written by Louisa Fisher Black daughter of R. R. R. Fisher and wife She and her husband adopted young boy - Charley Black (not true name) This pertains to Eastbrook written by Louisa Black Apparently town first named Rifle Range Station, then was Skidmoore, later it was changed to Eastbrook Station. S. A. Black brought mail from train to Eastbrook Station in two wheel cart. At Lakewood, there was a distiller. Where the defense building stands was a Joe Car Buggy and Wagon Shop. John Ruby had a blacksmith Shop on the farm of Dave De Salvo. Hinkson, Harry and Jim had a machine shop and cider mill located on the Dave Desalvo Dam No. 2. Sam Patterson had grist mill and weighing scales and before thate Abe Fisher had a 5 story Flour Mill which burned. Then they built a Two story Mill on the same ground. This mill was operated by water power. Water came from the Hettenbough and North Branch. Water ran through a wooden turbin where East Brook school stands. Tannery was located east of the school. At one time New Castle Water Co. got drinking water the year of 1912 Dinsmore Store and the Cleggs (?) Woolen Mill where McKees Store was a Post Office. Back of Methodist was a Woolen Mill Hutchison back of Fire Department was a dam which operated Crowls Foundry. John Ruby operated a Blacksmith Shop where Downy is. Al Young had a blacksmith shope above the Fire Hall on the left. On Wayne Patterson farm was a dam and (an) up and down saw mill was operated there by Noah Byler. Across from the Downy Shop was a Cabinet Shop. We have chairs and a table that were made there. (pg 2) Best Farm Water in the Kitchen from well in cellar. Piston Pump in cellar pumps water from Pumps near Summer House. Charley Black's dad dug out this spring by hand which holds about three tubs of water. Charley Black then put in tile and pumps. The creek by the house is fed by a spring boiling out by the big Oak Tree. Noah Byler Built the home The Grandad had oxen and cut logs from farm and took them where the U. P. Church is to a saw mill. A door went out to the back of the house where cement is. Charley Black tells that the family had Butlers and maids and a dumb waiter was in the floor of the Living Room. The downstairs bedroom was a kitchen. The living room was where the kitchen now is. This may not be correct as Mr. Black seemed a little confused. A library was where the wagon wheel light is. The middle room was the dining room. Joe Chambers, Jim Chambers father, was a mason. For half a beef he built the wall to the house. Mr. Black told of 125 apple and peach trees. A Peach orchard by the corn crib and a melon garden there also. Charley Black says he built the corn crib and shed. There are no nails in the door to the Living Room and Dining Room. Little building in back was a summer house and wash house carrying water from hand pump in back. Charley says he built Clover Leaf Garage in 1919. His dad gave him a 1924 Hudson and then he bought a 1928 Hudson. Charley built the Spring House 1930. They had a milk business. (pg 3) The heavy timber was all from the farm. All the doors are handmade. Charley made all the fence and cement caps on posts. Charley said a canal was built at farm line for water for mill. Told us to look for logs below the cemetery also a Big Rock by cemetery is from the foundation of the dam. About Cemetery - Tombstones and fence put up in World War I. He said Abe Fisher weighed 400 pounds and he is buried there. He had two girls - Galveston, Texas and La. These girls come back and asked his uncle to build fence. The Old Fisher Home was below School. Now Johns. At one time there was a 100 ft steam heated chicken house there. Charley Black says he kept is coin collection in Coal House and that the back of the Coal House is made of Chestnut. Fishers married into Waddingtons. He told of having DAR and police to dig for caskets for some reason. The found three with doors. These were opened and beards and nails were long, but wind and air disintegrated them. Robert Richard Roberts Fisher and wife had two girls and one boy - Emma, Scott, Louise (?) The last was his adoptive mother. ==== PAMERCER Mailing List ==== Researching a reverend?

Hi... Anyone know if Nanci Hamilton is on this list. I was told that she may be able to clear up my "SIMEON MOORE HAMILTON" line. Below is a quick summary of what I'm trying to clear up. I need some advise. My gr-gr-grand father SIMEON MOORE HAMILTON born about 1836 - 38 in Mercer Co. I've tracked from 1860 census until his death in 1920's in Mercer Co. But, I could not can not find him in the 1850 census for any county in PA. All records of him state he was born in PA. By chance I ran just his first name on Ancestry.com for PA. and in the 1850 Delaware, Mercer Co., PA. census I found a SIMEON MOORE born 1836 in PA. Any idea's as to how I could found out if his parents died and he was adopted by a local HAMILTON family. Or his mother re-married. On All of SIMEON's records he always uses MOORE as his middle name. Or if anyone on this list is researching the MOORE family from Mercer Co.could you contact me Then I received this lead : from Janice Eby Barbeau who is researching the David Porter family from Mercer Co., PA. Norm, Simeon Hamilton Moore was the son of James Moore. Listed in the 1860 Census, Hamburg PO, Delaware Township, Mercer County, PA. He was 24 at the time. He was also the brother of my, Charlotte Moore, who married David Porter. They were listed in the same household with James Moore. Still working on this family. I can not find any info on SIMEON before the 1860 census. Nothing that I have list his parents or brothers or sisters. Even his Civil War service records do not list his parents. Nor does his death obit from 1927 in Fredonia, Mercer Co., PA. I'm starting to think that SIMEON maybe a MOORE. And that he either used his mother's maiden name of Hamilton ? or she re-married ? But I can't find her either, except a Nancy Moore listed with a James Moore in the 1850 census in Mercer Co., PA. with a son Simeon age 14 yrs old. Which would be the age of my Simeon ??????? Thanks, Norm Hamilton Lancaster, NY
