Greetings, all... I have been banging my head on a few brick walls for years now, and decided to try once again to find out what kind of help I can get from the group that has helped so much in the past! First is George W. Simpson, born in 1826, in Westmoreland County. His wife was Mary Ann Algeier, that information I obtained from a web site that listed the weddings performed by Jonas Mechling. His father-in-law is another roadblock, but I don't have enough information about him yet to ask for help. George and Mary Ann had the following children: Eliza (1849), George W. (1855), Aaron (1856), Francis M. (1859-1937), Melissa (1865), John (1868), Samuel (1870), and Benjamin F. (1850). (All these dates are approximate, with the exception of my great-great-grandfather Francis Murian Simpson.) The next roadblock is one that may be occurring also to the webmaster at www.bakerblews.com. George Baker, born 1807, in Westmoreland County, and his wife, Esther Barbara Lemmon, born 1810. I am descended from their daughter, Martha Baker Black Gross, via the Black line. The last is a point of confusion, since there seems to have been two people with this name born about the same time: Cyrus Kuhns (born around 1852, I think). His son, Gust Elmer Kuhns, was my great-grandfather and grandfather (he and his wife adopted my mother and uncle when they were young). Gust's wife was Laura Mabel Baker. (I would die if I found out that Laura was related to Martha above! Gust and Laura were my mother's grandparents/parents. Martha is my father's great-great-grandmother.) Any help would be appreciated. Richard M. Simpson, III

Everyone, Somehow or other, I completely missed Joseph when I transcribed the 1900 U S Census for Jacob and Mariah. He sure was there. Major goof on my part!!! Sorry! Thank you again for all the info. Here is Mariah's obit in which she names Joseph again and I missed it again. Brain freeze! For some reason Joseph just didn't register! Daily Courier; Connellsville, Fayette Co, Pa - January 25, 1911 - pg 2 col 5 MRS. MARIAH HULL (Mt. Pleasant) At 12 o'clock, January 21, occured the death of Mrs. Mariah Hull, wife of Jacob Hull of this place, aged 66 years, 3 months, and 11 days. She was the mother of nine children, two of whom are dead: Jane Hull, who was burned to death at McClure, and Jacob Hull, Jr. who was killed in the battle of Malate, Phillippine Islands. Those who survive are: George Hull, Rogers Mills; Catherine Hull, Rockford, VA; Mariah Hull, Coal Run, Somerset Co.; Anna Hull, Alverton; Margaret Hull, Mutual #4; Joseph Hull, Keister; Bertha Alice Hull, Youngwood. Funeral services were conducted at the late residence Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Catherine and unknown Whitatker had a son James who lived and died in Greensboro, Greene Co. Would that be the one you are referring to? Thanks again for all the help and the information. My friend is amazed at her family tree - it just keeps growing and growing. Pat -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 214 spam emails to date.

>From the Westmoreland e services marriage 1/27/1887, license number 764 James B. Whitaker and Kate Hull Whoever wrote the obituary made an error by listing the Whitaker children as step children. The Fankhouser listed was probably the only step child.

The Daily Courier, Thursday, June 27, 1940 Mrs. Catharine Fankhouser, 69 years old, widow of Clement Fankhouser, died at 1:10 o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jane Carrick, at Palmer, after a lingering illness. A former resident of Mill Run, she had been at Palmer about 6 months. Surviving are three stepchildren: Eugene Fankhouser of Mill Run, Jacob Whitaker of Bridgeport and J. A. Whitaker of Greensboro and one daughter Mrs. Carrick. Interment was in Mill Run Baptist Cemetery. The obituary says that the Whitakers were step children. In a 50th wedding anniversary announcement for Jacob Whitaker of Bridgeport, it said he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James B. Whitaker. They also made it to their 65th wedding anniversary!

Oh, in the box I sent is a Hull descends outline, contributed by someone else. I don't know if they are the same family you are mentioning, but perhaps. The first 3 generations don't seem to match, however. It eventually leads to two Moore sisters marrying two Hull brothers. 1 Thomas Hull b: 1761 d: 1849 .. +Elizabeth Cox b: 1757 d: 1853 ........ 2 Hannah Hull b: 1796 ............ +Thomas Achison ........ 2 Nancy Hull b: 1798 d: 1871 ............ +William Rowland b: 1797 d: January 17, 1873 .................. 3 Jane Rowland b: Bet. 1832 - 1841 .................. 3 Starlett Rowland b: Abt. 1834 .................. 3 Thomas Rowland b: Bet. 1835 - 1842 .................. 3 James Rowland b: Abt. 1840 ...................... +Elizabeth ........ 2 Elizabeth Hull b: 1801 d: December 25, 1888 ........ 2 Tobias Seckler Hull b: November 17, 1803 d: December 20, 1887 ............ +Sallie Decker m: Abt. 1824 .................. 3 Tobias Seckler Hull, Jr. b: February 03, 1825 d: March 12, 1892 ...................... +Emma Vanatt Hanna b: March 1859 d: 1916 .................. *2nd Wife of Tobias Seckler Hull, Jr.: ...................... +Nancy Hanna b: March 17, 1821 d: October 04, 1884 .................. 3 John Decker Hull b: May 01, 1834 ...................... +Sarah J. b: Abt. 1839 d: November 02, 1860 ........ 2 John Hull b: February 18, 1805 d: December 22, 1891 ............ +Matilda Clark b: April 24, 1826 d: 1893 .................. 3 Eliza Hull ...................... +James Smith .................. 3 John Hull ...................... +Margaret Dougherty .................. 3 Samuel C.

Six children preceded him in death

Article in The Daily Courier, Friday, May 8, 1953 This is about the 50th wedding anniversary of Joseph and Margaret Olive Kalp Hull. Part of the article says Mrs. Hull is the former Mis Margaret Olive Kalp daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kalp of Aleverton. Her husband is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hull of Mt. Pleasant.

The Daily Courier, Friday, June 11, 1954 Joseph Hull, 71, of Hawkeye died at 9:50 o'clock Thursday. The article goes on to say he died of injuries received when he was struck by an automobile in front of his service station. He was a retired coal miner and operated the service station after being retired as a fire boss for the Carpentertown Coal and Coke Co. He was a member of the Mount Lebanon Church of Tarr. He was survived by his widow, Mrs. Olive Kalp Hull; one son, Robert E. Hull of Scottdale; three daughters, Mrs. Anna King of Tarr, Mrs. Agnes Basioum of Mt. Pleasant and Mrs. Betty Meader of Hawkeye; three sisters, Mrs. Margaret Bauman of Southwest, Mrs. Anna Johnson of Uniontown and Mrs. Bertha Clark of Galeton, 17 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Interment was in Alverton Cemetery.

This might not be the same James Whitaker but Catherine Hull b/ Mar 1871 may have married James Whittaker who died in Dilliner, PA. I know I have this obit somewhere but am unable to find it. Maybe someone could check the newspapers who has a subscription. Hope this helps.

Thanks to everyone for straightening out all the names of the town. It gets confusing. I was actually fleshing out the descendents of Jacob and Mariah Grimm Hull. One of their daughters, Catherine, married a Whitaker/Whitaker (haven't been able to find his first name yet - James maybe since she named her first son that?). Her daughter, Mariah Jane 'Mina' Whitaker married Joseph Carrick and the person I am doing this for is one of their descendents. On the 1900 U S census, she reports being a widow, married 14 years, having had 4 children, 3 living which would have made her marriage date to Whitaker/Whittaker about 1885. Dawn, I don't find a Joseph Hull listed in Jacob and Mariah's descendents. 1900 census she reports having 11 with 7 living and in 1910 she reports having 5 with 5 living. Another mystery. I will be adding the marriage info on the Dean and Bauman marriages. Thank You very much. Here is what I have been able to accumulate so far from census and obits, plus info from Joyce Post.. Maybe it will help someone else.

Yes, you are right, it was originally called Crows Nest, then around 1914, changed to Bovard, in honor of Harry F Bovard who was president of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company. But the mine their was still called Crows Nest mine. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 8:56 PM Subject: [PAWESTMO] Crows Nest > In the 1937 obit for Walter Dean recently posted by Dawne, it mentions > Crows Nest in a few places.

WWI Draft Card Walter Dean Rd1 Mt. Pleasant Westmd Pa. Age 42, Date Of Birth Aug 17, 1876 Present Occupation Roadman, Employer's Name HC Frick Coal Co. Calumet, Westmoreland, Pa. Nearest Relative, Maggie Dean Rd#1 Mt. Pleasant, Westmd Pa. I think it says color of eyes, brown; color of hair Dark? It is hard to read. There is also a WWI Draft card for Aaron John Bauman too.

I just realized that Mary Margaret Hull Dean Bauman was an aunt of a friend of mine. She was a sister of Joseph Hull of Hawkeye who died June 10, 1954. Margaret Bauman of Southwest is mentioned in Joseph's obituary. as being his sister. Joseph Hull was maried to Olive Kalp Hull. They were the parents of Anna Hull King, mother of my friend. Let me know if you would like Joseph's obituary. The Daily Courier, Sept 25, 1946 Licensed to wed-Aaron Bauman of Youngwood and Mary Dean of Mt. Pleasant RD1. Dawne

In the 1937 obit for Walter Dean recently posted by Dawne, it mentions Crows Nest in a few places. My grandmother was born in Crows Nest abt 1911. I no longer live in PA, but from what I've gathered from afar it sounds like Crows Nest is now Bovard. Does anyone know if this is true? Was there a Catholic Church or cemetery in Crows Nest? Thank you, Mark

The Daily Courier,Tuesday, July 6, 1937 Mount Pleasant July 6 Walter Dean died suddenly of a heart attack Saturday evening at his home in Mount Pleasant township near Southwest. He was 60 years old. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Margaret Hull Dean; six daughters, Mrs. William Boggs, Stewart; Mrs. Conrad Achtzigger, Armbrust; Mrs. Jack Stoner, New Castle; Mrs. Lester Bratshic, New Castle and Doris and Adeline, at home, and six sons, Alvie, Gayville; Edgar, Crows Nest; Thomas, Southwest; John, Gayville, and Robert and Samuel at home. Three sisters, Mrs. Elmer H. Wright of Greensburg, Mrs. George R. Laird of Youngwood and Mrs. Luther Armbrust of Akron, Ohio and 21 grandchildren also survive. Mr. Dean was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Youngwood. He was a member of the United Mine Workers of America, Crows Nest Local 5764. The funeral service will be held at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal Church at Southwest in charge of Rev. Lawrence R. Neff and Rev. Jacob Kooser. Interment will be made in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Middle Churches. Note: Southwest is never called that by locals. Everyone calls it Hecla. Hecla officially became Southwest when Hecla was already taken as a name for a post office. Southwest it may be officially but no one calls it that...it is Hecla to everyone who lives there. Dawne
