Would anyone with a CD of Pennsylvania marriages please look for a Mary Ridgeway that would likely have married circa 1880-1890 and likely in Wayne County? Thanks, Richard in FL

Hi everyone, First, I would like to send a big thank you to everyone that replied to my inquiry regarding Soldiers Orphan School/Home. I went over to the Susq. Co. website and started looking around and in the process i found a bit of info concerning these schools. I thought I would pass the address onto the list. Maybe it can possibly help someone else too. Again thanks, http://members.nbci.com/mjwanc/orphans.htm After you get there, if you scroll down you will see there is a project regarding these schools along with a census. Angel

A distant, recently discovered relative has just come across a number of Black family photographs. The family was from the Maplewood and Cortez areas.

The photo's are of the following folks and are scanned: William Black - 1814-1895 - still portrait James Black - 1836-1914, wife Lucy Waltrous, sons Alby and friend James Black -1808-1865. Brother of William - still portrait Elisa Ann Spargo (Black) - 1812-1893. Wife of James Black, still portrait Jonathan Black - 1828-1910. Husband of Anna Losow. With grandchildren Allen/? If anyone would like electronic copies, please let me know. I will wait a few days before sending them so I can send them once. Thanks, Chris Swingle

Hang in there and don't get discouraged if your not answered right away, these lists will be a great asset to our research after we reach the people and let them know that these lists are available. I am encouraging everyone to send this email to their surname and county mailing lists as well as to our cousins. Finally, If you have the material to help a fellow researcher, please use it.

I am trying to find any information on Abisha Myers. He died before 1850 in Dyberry, Wayne County, PA. I found an Abisha Myers in Steuben County, New York in 1830. However, there was no information listed and no will in Steuben County. Then I found Abisha in Wayne County. I am wondering if they are the same person. Further, I would like to explore a possible relationship to Abijah Myers of Sussex County, NJ. Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks. Patrice Houck Schadt

Born Sept., 14, 1898 on the family farm at DeLancey to Clarence A. and Anna Bostwick Bush, he had a brother, Ammon and a sister Salenda Bush, who lives in DeLancey. His father died in 1909 when Doc was still a young lad, so the family went to live with their grandparents, the Ammon Bostwicks. Doc attended school in Delhi and graduated from the old Delaware Academy in 1916 and from the University of Buffalo with a degree in dentistry in 1919. He opened an office in Walton in 1921 and did his dentistry work there until he retired in 1966. In May of 1925, Doc married Ella Vitt at Kew Gardens. They lived in Walton until 1934, when they moved to the farm now owned by William Schriver. The farm was first settled by Doc's great great grandfather, George Yendes, in 1786. When he sold the farm in the mid 50's he retained the tenant house, where he and his wife still live. The Bush's had four children, Barbara (Mrs. Robert Lewis) of Delhi; Particia Storrer, Claremont, Calif.; Elmer Ogden Jr. (Pete) of Hamden and J. Salenda (Sally) Bush of Anderson, Calif. They have sixteen grandchildren. Doc served in the New York State Legislature. He was assemblyman from 1933 to 1937 and in the State Senate from 1956 to 1965, and then was appointed to the New York State Racing Commission. He was president of the Council of Delhi Tech for several years. Doc had had many hobbies and interests during the years; such as, antiques, Holstein cattle, politics, race horses and was one of the leaders in getting our local radio station, WDLA Walton, started. We're glad to know you, Doc, and glad to have you for a neighbor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Excerpts from Hancock Herald - October, 1937 Local and Personal Jesse Dunlap of Childs, Pa., veteran O. & W. conductor, who retired this year, called on Hancock relatives on Sunday, accompanied by his wife and sister-in-law, Mrs. Brundege of Thompson, and his son. The ladies are daughters of Mrs. W. H. Hall. Mr. Dunlap is a member of the Hancock Masonic Lodge. Allan Hewitt, son of Mr. And Mrs. O. D. Hewitt, who has been employed by the I. B.

Mrs. Cecil Rood, program leader. Wilson J. Lakin, manager of the meat department of the Hancock Grand Union Store, this week received from headquarters a letter of commendation and congratulations for holding top position for volume sales among the twelve stores in this district for three consecutive three-months' periods. Mrs. Joe Davis spent the weekend with her sister, Mrs. Paul Quackenbush, in Oneonta. Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Kellam were Mr. And Mrs. V. S. Whitaker, Mrs. Lulu Keays and Miss Vivian Kellam, Elmira College senior. The occasion was Mr. K's birthday. Mrs. Margaret Newman had as dinner guests Sunday evening relatives and friends numbering sixteen in honor of her birthday. Station WOR, Newark, extended congratulations and greetings during their broadcast Sunday evening to both Mrs. Newman and Mr. Kellam. The Fish's Eddy honey-stealing bear, on his seventh rain on Jay Baxter's beehive colony 1,000 feet from the Fish's Eddy schoolhouse, was trapped on Monday night by Rev. F. O. Wolven, a former Methodist pastor at Fish's Eddy and French Woods, who lives in Fish's Eddy. At his request Henry C. Rolin shot and killed the bear. The bear awakened nearby residents by his struggles to get his right paw free from the 40-pound bear-trap anchored to a cut six-inch green beech sapling "drag". To shake off the trap he climbed and broke down a large sapling, and then climbed two others nearby, all without avail. Mr. Wolven had a "hunch" that the bear would visit the bee colony shortly after dark, as he had done before six times. Game Protector Van Tyle of Downsville, guarding a trap, laid in ambush for him several nights, but the bear kept away. Mr. Wolven, who is something of a naturalist and student, matched his wits against Mr. Bear. He anchored Mr. Baxter's trap to the beech drag and on the north side of it he placed a bag liberally smeared with honey left over from a wrecked hive. He did more. He poured anise oil on the pan of the trap and covered it with leaves. It must have smelt good, for br'er bear "fell" for it. Hurrying to the trap at 9:30 Monday night to see what caused the crashing of trees, Mr. Wolven found the bear. He summoned Henry C. Rolin. The bear was at bay with eyes like little balls of fire as they came up. Rolin took careful aim and killed him with a single rifle bullet in the mouth. Then they sawed off the drag and pried open the trap so they could get the animal to the Wolven barn. Tuesday forenoon after the bear was weighed at the O. & W. station there was a succession of visitors to see the handsome jet black animal as he swung from the limb of a Ben Davis apple tree. The bear in his successive visits demolished sixteen swarms of bees and hives. He would topple over a hive and "bash" the frame in, and then gorge himself with honey. He apparently didn't mind being stung. "I saw the bear once or twice", said Mr. Wolven, "but he was wary and he would get away in a hurry. He usually disappeared in the direction of the mountain ridges. I was sorry to trap him and see him dead, but he was such a gluttonous robber that there was no other way. We warned him good and plenty." Mr. Wolven told of trailing the bear to higher ground to where the bear apparently sat down to eat a hive of honey. The bear had absorbed the honey proper, but had spat out the comb. Also he had chewed the wooden sides of the hive.
