    2. Darrell & Nancy Giles
    3. Sharon & Lists: Knowing there have been requests for information concering the Buchanan & Enlow surname so I am sending this to the posts, as well as individually. I have been reading the Washington Pa newspapers on microfilm through interlibrary loan, and have read since 1850 to 1938 and have maintained a database of various information which may relate to my research for myself and others. I hope it will be of help to someone. This is not a line I am personally researching. Spaces indicate new paragraph in original copy. The information of the Buchanan & Enoch deaths came from a file I made of all the deaths printed in a column published at the first part of each year for several years, submitted by the cemetery officials and Washington Health Department, covering a period of about 1880 to 1916, when I found the practice seemed to be discontinued. Nancy Giles R.
