Hi, Susan: Seeing your Smiths in Upper Merion got me wondering if Charles isn't related in some way (father, perhaps?) to the Frank C. Smith who's buried in Gulph Christian Cemetery in Upper Merion, along with his wife Isabella. She is a KNEZEL, sister to Jacob KNEZEL, husband of one of my WHITEHEAD ancestors, Anna Maria/Hannah WHITEHEAD. There is a Rachel KNEZEL buried next to Frank and Isabella, with the inscription "our devoted mother," or something to that effect. Rachel was 70 in the 1850 census and died in the 1860s. Perhaps there is a COATES/SMITH/KNEZEL/WHITEHEAD connection we can exploit? Both Frank SMITH and Jacob KNEZEL fought in the Civil War. Jacob died near Manassas, VA in 1863.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - June 13, 1903 ALMOST KILLED BY AUTO Philip R. THEOBOLD and his son Franklin, of Glenside, this county, were seriously injured in an automobile accident Saturday afternoon near Norristown. They were on their way to Norristown in a new "red devil." The machine, which was being guided by the younger man, became unmanageable while going down a steep hill, and ran into a wall. Both men were thrown heavily and were badly lacerated about the body and limbs. One of Philip R. THEOBALD's legs was broken and he was unconscious for a time. The machine was damaged beyond repair. Mr. THEOBOLD lives at 1635 North Broad street, Philadelphia, in the winter. He has a beautiful country place on Willow Grove Pike, Glenside. He was a former resident of Pennsburg, and owns a small farm near the heart of the town. Mr. THEOBALD is under the care of a few physicians, one of them being Prof. John DEAVER who has little hopes for his recovery. LARGE BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE The large frame barn of Joseph SCHWOYER, of near Fruitville, was on Saturday eveing destroyed by fire.

Hi Susan, It is interesting that your Charles was also a teacher. That, to me, implies a connection. Reading over the brief paragraph I sent you a couple of things strike me. First, the term "from the Gulf", does anyone on the list know what that means or where it would be? Is it the Gulf of Mexico? Secondly, the author's last statement: "What success attended this effort we are enable to state." This implies to me that this was not something the author had intimate knowledge of, or vast amounts of documentation on, and again reading the paragraph, it does seem like it could have been an advertisement from a newspaper. Going on that assumption, perhaps finding newspapers in Upper Marion circa the end of 1813 (when such an advertisment might have appeared) and through 1814, when articles (and/or continued advertisments) may have appeared, could help you find clues as to exactly where the school was, if there were any records, and exactly who this particular Nathan Smith might be. Just my thoughts, Regards, JC Bozarth

I just posted the following message to the SCHICK family message board on Rootsweb: I am not related to any Schicks (at least I don't think I am) but I have just purchased an 1801 fraktur (PA German birth record) that seems to be about a Schick family from Montgomery County, PA. The old German lettering is very hard to read, but what little I THINK I have been able to translate appears to say: "Salme Schick is from Christ and her parents born (in the morning of?) April 20, 1801 in Pennsylvania in Montgomery County in New Hanover Township. Her father (is) Henry Schick and her mother (is) Maria (Schick?). (She was baptized _________ by Pastor Henry ________?) The sponsors were Ludwig Schick and his wife Maria." I am posting this here in the event that the information is of some use to Schick family researchers.
