Thank You, Alice, I would like to see if you have any Low/Lowe, Haverly, or Crandall surnames listed in the Centenial History of Susquehanna, Co. Our family lived there until their migration to Kansas ca. 1868, or shortly before. Our missing ancester is Dr. Cornelious Low who died on a passenger train while returning to Auburn Center, to escort more of his family members back to Kansas. He died from smallpox, contracted by those he doctored on the train when first coming to Kansas.

But I have no info on any Boland people, so would appreciate any info that you might be able to find. Thanks, Bill Grimes Round Rock, TX grimy_b@swbell.net.

I think I can help. Assuming you are going to Susquehanna from I-81, you get off at the Great Bend exit and go down the Oakland side of the river. In Oakland you go across the "new" bridge which deposits you in the middle of the Town of Susquehanna on Main Street. Turn left on Main St. and proceed approx. 3-4 blocks. You will pass the United Methodist Church on your left and then shortly, by a gas station will be a right hand turn going up a hill onto Broad Ave. St John's Church is in the first block on your right. As instructed below,if you proceed to the top of Broad Ave, turn right (if you turn left you go toward the hospital) and go 1 Block and you will be at the top of the hill above Laurel Hill Cemetery.

Hello list, I have a reprint of the above book by Stocker. It is indexed, and I will gladly do look-ups as time permits. Alice Searching TUPPER, ROSS, KEECH, LATHROP, FASSETT and others

Thanks for the offer, Alice. Will you please look for SPALDING/SPAULDING? Jean Spalding Barbour

I did it, I finally got the book I wanted. "Two Centuries of Memories, Lathrop and Hop Bottom" It is not indexed but I will do lookups if anyone wants one.

On my Web site I've made available the indexes to three genealogy-related books of which I have never seen the indexes for before. To access the book indexes go to: http://melake.erols.com and click on the proper selection. Or to go directly there use: http://melake.erols.com/book-indexes The books are: "A History of Liberty Township" [Susquehanna Co, Pa] by the Bicentennial History Committee 1998 "The First 275 Years of Hunterdon County 1714 - 1989" [Hunterdon Co, NJ] by the Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commission 1964 "The Town of Fremont" [Sullivan Co, NY] by Charles S Hick 1951 Marshall Lake - mlake@melake.erols.com - http://melake.erols.com http://melake.erols.com/the-beach http://melake.erols.com/genealogy

Greetings, Does anyone have any info on a Benjamin Britton who appears in the 1850 federal census index living in Susquehanna County, PA, Silver Lake Township? It's the only federal census index year that seems available for him. He may have ties to my Irish Britton family. Any help is greatly appreciated. JoAnne Gage Teske - Wisconsin

Mary Jean > > Mary Jean, Thank you for your kind offer. Would you do a lookup for me please? Around 1800 Ebenezer Whitney came to the Hop Bottom area with his family. He had two wives: 1st Elizabeth Eaton with children Roswell, Triphena & Orange and 2nd Sally Pratt with children Isaac, Ebenezer Jr., Amarilla, David, Ephraim & Reuben. Of these I descend from Ebenezer Whitney Jr born 1803 who married Anna Squire(s) 4 Jan.1827 and died 1852 leaving these children: Orange, Ebenezer Butler, Betsy, Chester, David, Freeman and Edward. I descend from Edward. Is there any information on these two Ebenezer's or who the parents were for Sally Pratt or Anna Squire(s)? Also would like to know where Anna and children went after Ebenezer Jrs. death. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Betty

Thankyou to Marian who has sent me transcription she made on Welsh Hill Cemetery. It is in Clifford Township. If anyone has ancestors there get in touch with her since most of the stones are her family. http://members.xoom.com/mjwanc/welsh.htm >From Cemetery to Tree My Pennsylvania Roots http://home.stny.rr.com/brown/index.htm Researching: Brown, Wilmarth, Tewksbury, Tiffany, Squires, Perry and others.

Believe it or not, the 1870 Atlas shows both the church and cemetery. I don't have it at home but can scan a copy when you're ready.

Hi Mary Jean: St John's Cemetery (Laurel Hill Cemetery) is located in Susquehanna on Church hill as we called it. St John's church is an outstanding landmark and if you drive up along side the church, continue up the hill until you come to a T in the road. Turn right and the cemetery is about a quarter mile on the right.

Susquehanna Historical Society has a site their address and phone number and email addy. But dont know if they appreciate a 4 page letter. They have older computers that were donated. mj http://home.epix.net/~suspulib/hs.htm >From Cemetery to Tree My Pennsylvania Roots http://home.stny.rr.com/brown/index.htm Researching: Brown, Wilmarth, Tewksbury, Tiffany, Squires, Perry and others.

I have a "Memorial" card, the kind that are printed and made available by Funeral homes. It reads: In memory of Rozillah Clendenning born June 8, 1865 died July 24, 1951 Services from Ball Residence Clergyman Officiating Rev. David A. Dawson Final Resting Place McKune Cemetery I'm hoping someone on the list can help me find the obituary in order to find out more about Rozillah's roots. Roger Walter

James, Here is the address to click on or you can copy the html below if this doesn't work. <A HREF="http://home.epix.net/~suspulib/">Click here: Susquehanna County Historical Society & Free Library Association Home Page</A> http://home.epix.net/~suspulib/ Jan in Florida

James, Father Fanti at St John's is usually too busy to check individual cemetery burials. He runs the parish all by himself, so has many other duties as you can imagine. His rectory clerk may only be part time...and am not sure they have a computer, either. However, they are more than happy to do something for you if they have the time. Father is a genealogy buff also. He's a joy to speak with and when I saw him last he was trying to upgrade the Laurel Hill cemetery grounds and make sure gravestones were not being cracked or mutilated with the mowing that is done. The cemetery is perpetual care...which means the parish church handles all the physical upkeep, including records. It is a beautiful place. Maybe you will be able to visit sometime and check on those family burials you wanted. I would try again though,by phone or letter to see if any one can help you. As for the Historical Society..to which one do you refer? The Susquehanna Depot Historical Socieity is located in the town shopping plaza...site of the old RR works. I don't believe they have a computer..and don't think they have cemetery records, but I could be wrong..it's been a while since my last visit. Last year they were only open on Sunday afternoons. The Susquehanna (County) Historical Society is located in Montrose...(just a short drive from Susqy town) and they are open all week. They may have some cemetery records. Don't have their phone number at hand but information could give it to you. There are on Monument Square in Montrose PA, in building with the library. The library number is the one you want, then they transfer your call. Jeannette

James, Yes, they do have a cemetery database set up, but it is in no way a complete one for the county. I do not know if they have an email address, but I would suggest that you might want to get in touch with them and they can let you know exactly what they have, charges or fees for research or lookups..etc... Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Monument Square, Montrose, Pa 18801 (570) 278 1881 Sometimes they are closed for lunch...they do not have a large amount of employees or volunteers to help out...but they have always been a very nice and helpful office.

It seems to me I have read in one of these passing Emails that they have information on some of the cemeteries in Susquehanna and the surrounding area. I am very much interested in St John's Catholic Cemetery (Laurel Hill Cemetery) in Susquehanna. I have asked the church clerk to check on members of my family buried there and have been ignored each time I requested information. It appears they are very busy with other more pressing matters and do not have time to look up burial information. It's too bad some members of the church could not get together and go over the church records and computerize them to make them available to people looking for information.
