I am trying to learn the name of the mother of Elizabeth Mary Wendt. She was born in 1866 and died in 1940. I think these dates are accurate but am not sure. She was born, I think in Cameron, West Virginia. She died in West Finley, Washington County. She was married to William M. McDonald. I am looking for a copy of her obit which may provide the name of her mother. I live to far away from Little Washington to visit and my age is against me also. I hope someone will look up the Obit for me. I appreciate any help that can be provided to me. Thanks in advance.

Hi list, I'd like to pick your brain for a minute, about life in Washington Co. 1875-1925. Here's what I have found. Our ancestor, Milton Byrd Walton, lived on the Walton land from birth in 1839 until death in 1924. The original parcel was warranted at about 300 acres, on the North Tenmile Creek. In searching court house records, we found 15 sales of acreage on the Grantor Index. These sales began in 1880 and the last one was 1922. (I have not totaled the acreage) Some were "By Atty" and one was "By Court O" Our Milton died intestate, with his son and daughter being assigned administrators (I think that's the correct term). My curiosity wants to know about the life of a farmer in those times. Was farming so bad that he needed to sell off the land to live? Or why else would he have sold these parcels? His only son married in 1900 and was living in Homestead, Allegheny Co. His spinster daughter remained in Beallsville, working as a seamstress, and later moved in with her married sister. Thanks for any insight you might have, or any suggestions as to where to find some answers. I am in Florida and don't have direct access to Wash Co. Courthouse, or Citizens Library. Best regards and a Happy New Year, Jeannette

Two New Coal Mines Operations have been started by the Pittsburgh Coal Company to develop some new territory along the new Montour railroad. One of the mines will be on the COWDEN far at Bishop in Cecil township, and the other on the GEORGE farm, in Mt. Pleasant township. A force of men is at work at each opening and the work will be pushed to completion so as the company will be ready to operate the two new mines by the time the new railroad is in operation. At the COWDEN farm contracts have been let for the erection of 75 houses, while on the GEORGE farm contracts have been let for 65 houses. At the present time temporary shanties have been erected to take care of the men who are opening the mines. Machinery is being placed on the grounds every day and from the present outlook two new mining centers will soon be established in the country. The machinery for the new developments is being brought in over the Wabash, and George Station has been moved about 200 yards further west to be nearer the lines of the Montour which crosses at this point. George Station has heretofore been a stop for milk only, but now it has been made a regular station and promises to become one of the busiest stops on the Wabash. The land where this mine is being opened at one time belonged to Gen. George WASHINGTON, first president of the United States. The Pittsburgh Coal Company owns large holdings along the route of this new railroad and it is expected that other mines will be opened soon.

We wondered if had been paying for these, as the site we had for OH death certificates was a pay site. Below is the site from LDS and he has done wonders for us with the site. WV site has been great too with all the new marriages certificates on the site. hope this helps fill in blanks for others as it has us. Happy new year to all.

I thought I'd post this here. I get messages from this list that "look" blank (I couldn't figure out why). By accident I discovered if I highlight (drag the mouse across the blank area while holding down the left mouse key), "magically" the message appears. A List owner on another List wrote: "I'm told that you must send messages to the list in text, not HTML. When someone sends in HTML, we get blank messages. Please adjust your email software." So maybe this explains why I'm getting blanks from some posters. Please check your email settings. If you are sending in HTML version for email (for graphics, little do-dads in signature lines, etc.), Rootsweb Lists can't / don't read those. Instead, the List mail will show NOTHING, not even your words. List mail should only be sent as TEXT mail. Thanks for checking your email settings. Judy

Hello Paula, Would you care to list some of the Reed ancestors names? I believe that I may have photographed some Reed headstones when I visited Washington C. PA this summer.. Also are they spelled Reid as well? Alan has done an awesome job with his Mid-atlantic Archives Site and his PA Books .I have found a lot of great info there and also good links.
