I also have a question about the newpaper items the Historical Society has on microfilm. Are there many from other surrounding towns outside of Susquehanna county? Since the items are from larger newspapers I would think this might be the case. Is anyone available at the society office to do look ups or would this be unrealistic? Could someone with these answers post them to the list, please? Thanks for any help, Lois Morgan RiJe6365@aol.com wrote: > So Mary Jean, if I were looking for one or two particular items...I would > have to know the approximate date..as there is no index to surname or event > or dates, correct?

Bob, thanks for posting the Newman (or Hasbrouck Hill) cemetery list. One name that missing is my great-great-grandmother, Rachel VAN ETTEN. Supposedly her husband, David VAN ETTEN is buried there too, since we can't find him anywhere else. One of the WEST names, (assuming there is more than one) is Susan WEST, da of Rachel VANETTEN and first md to Charles H. PRENTICE, then to a WEST. There may be a few more names that I can come up with later, but looks like you got most of them. Am familiar with the area as I was born, many years ago, just down the road from the foot of the hill. As a very small child, used tolook out our kitchen window in the midst of an evenings snowfall at the cars trying to make the hill in the snow. Jeannette.

So Mary Jean, if I were looking for one or two particular items...I would have to know the approximate date..as there is no index to surname or event or dates, correct? (Susquehanna HX SOC has area newspapers from 1816 microfiched ) Jeannette

I may have missed a few surnames when I recorded the cemetery--I read the names into a small tape recorder as I walk through, and I didn't notice when the tape ran out. I don't think many are missing but will try to check this in the future. Newman Cemetery, Hallstead/Great Bend, PA Established 1834 Directions: Go east on highway 171 from the Hallstead/Great Bend exit of I-81, about 1.25 or 1.50 miles from the Mobil Station at the exit. As you go up the hill, there's a small sign on the right. You can't see the cemetery from the road. The gravel lane into the cemetery sits an such an angle that it would be an impossible right turn as you come up the hill, so it's best to go to the top of the hill, turn around and approach the entrance that way. Recording done 7/25/00 by Robert Green (email rcgreen@myfamily.org) Many of the older stones are in so weathered or crusted with mold they can barely be read. Many of the plots lack existing stones, but someone has started putting rough slate field stones with hand-carved names and dates on a number of plots. I'm assuming this is based on cemetery records since it doesn't seem limited to only one or two families. Some new stones in the new section of the cemetery are not included in this list. Please note that I do not live in Susquehanna County, had limited time in the cemetery, and do not at this time have additional information about the cemetery. (I do know more about the Green plot since they are my ancestors.) Some years ago, I wrote to the Newman family, who still owned or managed it, for information based on burial records, but was told some records had disappeared as the collection was passed down from one person to another over the years.. Hope this list is of some help to some of you. Bob Green Surnames in the Newman Cemetery: Adare Armlin Baker Banetta? Barnes Barton Baugh Beavan Bedell Beiren Bolt Brant Brown Brush Bullen Bush?

I am trying to locate the parents of Abraham LAKE. He was born in NJ in 1796 and went to Susquehanna Co, Pa with his family around 1855. He married first Susan GARRISON circa 1818 in NJ. Susan died in Pa in 1861. After Susan died Abraham remarried Lydia M (CANFIELD) ESTES on 24 Jul 1865 in Rush Twp, Susquehanna Co, Pa. I'm sure that was prior to marriages being officially recorded in Pa. But I'm wondering if anyone has access to, or knows of, marriage bonds or some other means to locate any info pertaining to a couple who were married in that time period in Pa? I'm hoping that Abraham's parents' names may be recorded in some form pertaining to his marriage to Lydia. Thanks for any help.

Stopped by the Lawton Cemetery today and yes, the couple who are shown to be buried in the Snyder-Rush Cemetery were buried there. I have 2 thoughts as to the name: one being that maybe this piece of ground was originally part of a farm formerlly owned by a family named Snyder and they were some of the first burials there (be it in a marked or unmarked grave) or that someone named Snyder donated the land years back for a public cemetery. (Within my lineage there was a privately owned cemetery known by our family name...when they incorporated and become a public cemetery they changed the name even though the board of directors were made up of most or all family members) It does appear that land has been added onto it from the original cemetery (notice the grouping of dates). I did notice what appeared to be some very old tombstones near the back on the far left but did not go checking names on them. Whatever the case may be...it appears that the Lawton Cemetery is what is also referred to as the Snyder Rush Cemetery for what its worth!

Mary Jean, Don't know if you want to clutter up the cemetery listings on your site with partial transcriptions, but feel free to add this information there if you wish. ( I have it in a Word file, and at your request could send that to you directly.) St. Thomas the Apostle Cemetery in Little Meadows, PA Established 1898 Reading done: 7/29/00 by Robert Green (rcgreen@myfamily.org) Location: Leaving Little Meadows on highway 858 gong south-east toward Friendsville. The cemetery is at the Intesection of highway 858 and Bowbridge (T-773) Please note that I don't live in Susquehanna County and will not get back to this cemetery for a year or more. Because of limited time, I recorded only the surnames. At this time, I have no other information on any of these names in the list other than Cunningham, Green, McVinnie, McVinnia, and Harding. A few stones so overgrown with grass that they are not included in this list. None of the stones indicate where the person was born. A number of the surnames are repeated on several stones. SURNAMES: Bergin Boland Brawley Buchheit Butler Carey Carroll Clarey Collins Comstock Conboy Connell Craig Crimmins Crimmons Cummings Cunningham Darrow Degan Dempsey Donnelly Downs Ellis Fitzgerald Fitzmartin Fitzpatrick Foster Fowler Fuller Gana Gaynor Geraldine (may be a given name) Gleason Goff Green Grogan Guifoyle Halpin Hamlin Hanagan Hand Hanley Harding Harmon Harrigan Hartigan Hastings Havick Hawley Hercek Hickey Hogan Holland Hooker Horrigan Hutchinson Jacobs Jester Kellam Kiley Kosalek Leonard Lynch Martin McCormick McLaughlin McManus McVinnia McVinnie Middendorf Murphy Neville O'Connell O'Neill Perry Purtell Quinter Reardon Ring Rooney Sanderson Shanly Shaughnessy Shea Sivers Sloane Sosenko Stetson Sullivan Walsh Yeager

Thank you to everyone that had ideas for me on finding an old address. I am going to try all methods and I am sure that one or more will pay off. Thanks again for such a great group of people. Carol J.

Can anyone give me any ideas on how to find an address for someone in lets say 1974 or 1975 Is it possible to track family's address's over these years? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Carol J.

Dear Jeannette, We went to the Susquehanna Depot H.S. yesterday afternoon and ran into a man named Beavan. No relation to my Bevan. I did get other info that I have been searching so it was a worthwhile trip. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, locally it is known as the Lawton Cemetery, but the historical society shows on file and in a book of Susquehanna Co., Cemeteries it is referred to as the Snyder Rush Cemetery...unless their info is wrong. I recently came across a name of a person who is buried in Snyder Rush, and will check it out at the "Lawton Cemetery". Will let you know if they are there....

Was just at the Historical Society this week and that was one of the questions we searched out!!! The Snyder Rush Cemetery, aka Lawton Cemetery, is located on Route 267 North about 2/10 mile from the intersection of 267N and Rt 706! ----Original Message Follows---- From: Mary Jean <maryjean@stny.rr.com> Reply-To: PASUSQUE-L@rootsweb.com To: PASUSQUE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Snyder Cemetery Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2000 19:42:07 -0400 At 04:09 PM 6/23/00 -0400, you wrote: >Can anyone tell me where the Snyder Cemetery is in Susquehanna >County.

Hi Mary Jean, I may be a little delayed on this request, but would you check your pics of St. Bonaventure Cemetery for Cunningham, McVinnie (or close spellings), McAveny, and Green? Also about those Irish there: do many of the stones give 'native of....' details?

Lerma, Also have your cousin try the Susquehanna Depot Hx Soc at the depot shopping plaza area in Susquehannna. However, it is only open on Sunday from 12P or 1 P to 4 P. Another source of info would be at "Noah's Ark" across the street. It's great place for old time postcards, pictures, etc. Joyce, at that store may be able tpo help you. Also the Library just down the street, may have something. Jeannette
