Thanks Gene, that is possible since the family stayed mostly in Port Richmond but the Old Directory 1890 listed Almendo. I was think Aramingo Ave (spelling is probably off).

Dear Listers, The above rollcall of several hundred names of our ancestors, which I have already posted to list, and taken from the Pennsylvania Gazette 1729-1800, is just a sample of the treasure trove that awaits you in Accessible Archives databases, possibly subscribed to by your local library. Australian libraries don't access this service, so I individually subscribed via www.accessible.com As a descendant of the Claypooles of Philadelphia, this is the most rewarding genealogical/historical service that I have subscribed to in a long time.

Besides the above Sums, there has been L 111 5 6, (Note: 111 pounds, 5 shillings and 6 pence) contributed by several charitable Women in this City, towards paying for Medicines; and L 13 9 1, collected from the Charity Boxes, kept by the Chief Justice, and several Magistrates of this City, and by the Managers of the Hospital. And as the Benefits arising from this Institution become daily more extensive, there is just Ground to hope, that the same good Disposition which hath induced so many lately to promote it, will still prevail, and of Course, that the Number of Contributors will soon be considerably increased. The Foundation of the East Wing of the Building is laid, and considerable Provision made for carrying on the Work with as much Expedition as possible; and as some charitable Persons may incline to contribute to the said Building, either in Money or Materials; whatever may be thus given, will be thankfully received by either of the Managers, or by Samuel Rhoads, who has the Oversight of the Building.

I have access to a rollcall of several hundred subscribers to the building of the Philad. Hospital, as printed in the Pennsylvania Gazette of May 29, 1755. Let me know if you would like it posted to the list. Barry Australia

Neither of them would have been there in 1900, their father didnt pass away until Sep of 1901. Albert stared at Girard in 1904/5 he was there until 1915, I'm not sure why he wouldnt be on the census, but I do have his records and I know he was there. What I dont understand is how or why i cannot find ANY other information on Charles....What could have happened to him??? My great grandmother was supposed to tell my grandfather in his will where he could find Charles...she never did. My grandfather was angry with her til his dying day (Jan 1986) for him never being able to see his baby brother....any ideas??? -------------- Original message -------------- From: Dashmom@aol.com > cdbeech@comcast.net wrote: > > >>My grandfather Albert S Poulterer was sent to Girard college in 1904 after > the death of his father in 1901.

Hi Dolly, Sounds like Girard College just lost Charles' records. I can't speak for Girard College, but similar institutions would farm out children. Some of my rellies in a Phila. orphanage were sent to a family in upstate NY because there was a need for farm hands. So, I suggest you look for Charles broadly -- don't assume he'd necessarily still be in the Phila. area. Any be sure to check variant spellings. I hope that's somewhat helpful... Claire K.

Here's the article (called "Cemeteries Seek Breathing Clientele") PHILADELPHIA - The dinner was first-class, with butlers serving hors d'oeuvres and the strains of "Blue Danube" tastefully muffling the festive din. This nine-course re-creation of the last supper aboard an ill-fated ocean liner was the culmination of Titanic Day at Laurel Hill Cemetery, one of a growing number of historic cemeteries to rebrand themselves as destination necropolises for weekend tourists. Skip to next paragraphHistoric cemeteries, desperate for money to pay for badly needed restorations, are reaching out to the public in ever more unusual ways, with dog parades, bird-watching lectures, Sunday jazz concerts, brunches with star chefs, Halloween parties in the crematory and even a nudie calendar. Laurel Hill, the resting place of six Titanic victims, promotes itself as an "underground museum." The sold-out Titanic dinner, including a tour of mausoleums, joined the "Dead White Republicans" tour ("the city's power brokers, in all their glory and in all their shame"), the "Birding Among the Buried" tour, and "Sinners, Scandals and Suicides," including a visit to the grave of "a South Philly gangster who got whacked when he tried to infiltrate the Schuylkill County numbers racket." As Americans choose cremation in record numbers, Victorian cemeteries like Laurel Hill and Green-Wood in Brooklyn are repositioning themselves for the afterlife: their own. Repositories of architectural and sculptural treasures, like Tiffany windows and weeping marble maidens atop tombs, the cemeteries face dwindling endowments, years of vandalism and neglect, shrinking space for new arrivals and a society that, until recently, collectively distanced itself from their meandering byways. Although their individual circumstances vary - Green-Wood in Brooklyn, a newly crowned National Historic Landmark, has space for two more years of in-ground burial, while Laurel Hill is virtually full - what they share is a daunting number of tombs in need of repair. Woodlawn, in the Bronx, the final home of Whitneys, a Woolworth, Jay Gould and jazz greats like Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton, has 95,000 grave sites. Only 9,000 have endowments, said Susan Olsen, the executive director of the Friends of Woodlawn. "You're a conservator," Ms. Olsen said. "You can't have someone up there with a bottle of Windex cleaning a Tiffany window." The new cemetery tourism - a subterranean version of the History Channel - is also a means of developing brand loyalty in the wake of what Joseph Dispenza, president of the historic Forest Lawn in Buffalo, calls a "diminishing customer base." Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, Calif., a columbarium designed by Julia Morgan, architect of San Simeon, recently started "Jazz at the Chimes" concerts to reach culture enthusiasts who might be potential customers. Some cemeteries are betting on infotainment. At Heritage Day last weekend at the 200-year-old Congressional Cemetery in Washington, a 70-piece marching band serenaded the grave of John Philip Sousa, and dog owners held a parade for dogs dressed as historical cemetery personages, including a Union soldier. A decade ago, prostitutes and packs of wild dogs populated the city's oldest burial ground, which has monuments designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, designer of the Capitol. Then the preservation association began courting dog owners. Today, the 33-acre cemetery serves as a historical dog park where dogs run in Elysian fields, free to commune with the headstones. Owners pay $125 a year for the privilege, plus $40 a dog - bringing in $80,000 so far. In many ways, it is a throwback to the days of old, when then-rural cemeteries like Green-Wood and Mount Auburn in Cambridge, Mass. (1831), rivaled Niagara Falls as romantic tourist destinations. These "gardens of graves" were settings for Sunday picnics and a precursor to Central Park and other great public spaces. Like many vintage cemeteries, Laurel Hill languished for years in a struggling urban neighborhood, as potential customers drifted to the suburbs. Though the cemetery has a $17 million endowment, most of that is earmarked for specific family tombs and falls woefully short of what is needed for maintenance. "After 170 years, people lose track" of their loved ones, said Ross L. Mitchell, the executive director. And with only 1 percent of its 78 acres available for new burial, cemetery officials are trying to think of creative ways to mine its distinctive personality. The Titanic tour was the brainchild of J. Joseph Edgette, a professor at nearby Widener University who is tracking the graves of Titanic victims and plans to document all 2,200. "We're rebranding ourselves as a heritage tourism destination," Mr. Mitchell said. At a daffodil brunch in April at the Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, N.Y., omelet chefs whisked eggs amid Siena marble walls and soaring Tiffany windows, in the Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematorium. The 1848 cemetery has burial space for the next 200 years and an annual operating deficit of more than $100,000, according to Theresa Page, president of the board of trustees. Its preservation issues are dire: volunteers have been clearing brush that made about 10,000 graves invisible. The grave site of Samuel Wilson, the man behind "Uncle Sam," America's national symbol, has been inaccessible for years, since 125-year-old water pipes burst beneath the roads. The cemetery has asked Congress for $1.7 million for reconstruction. To raise its profile and money, Oakwood will stage a Renaissance fair this summer, with jousting matches among knights in shining armor. It was inspired by a medieval-style wedding there, for which the groom made his own armor. "We want them to think, 'Wow, I think I'd like to spend my eternity here,' " Ms. Page said of efforts to lure visitors. "It's a way of saying, 'We would love you to stay with us permanently.' " Certain cemeteries, like Père-Lachaise in Paris, Arlington National Cemetery in Washington and St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans, have always had celebrity cachet. But the past decade has seen a deliberate marketing of cultural status. At the 175-year-old Mount Auburn, it has meant lectures on the warbler migration by the Massachusetts Audubon Society; at Spring Grove in Cincinnati, tourists in electric trams ride past the grave of Salmon P. Chase, the founder of the Internal Revenue Service (they usually boo). Forest Lawn in Buffalo spent $1.2 million to erect the Blue Sky mausoleum, a spare design by Frank Lloyd Wright, with 24 crypts from $125,000 to $300,000. Each crypt-owner will receive a Steuben glass sculpture of their eternal home-in-waiting. "It's about exclusivity," Mr. Dispenza of Forest Lawn said. "It's about being one of the 24." Gary Laderman, a professor of religion at Emory University and the author of "Rest in Peace: A Cultural History of Death and the Funeral Home in the 20th Century" (Oxford University Press, 2003), says there is "a sense in which, like sex, death sells." But he also sees cemetery tourism as a chance for civic engagement. The mobility of society and the growth of the death care industry have served to isolate these historically significant places from the mainstream, Mr. Laderman said. That attitude may be shifting. Laurel Hill, for example, was awarded a $97,000 grant to provide grief counseling for inner-city children grappling with the effects of gun violence. Of course, some think that cemeteries are sacred spaces, and that Halloween flashlight tours and historical re-enactors jumping out from behind tombs crosses the line in taste. A 2005 fund-raising calendar for Oakwood Cemetery in Troy - inspired by the movie "Calendar Girls" and featuring socialites who appeared to be naked - was a tad too risqué to repeat, some thought. After objections, Green-Wood scuttled plans to show horror films. "The cemetery doesn't have an obligation to entertain," said Thomas Lynch, a funeral director and writer in Michigan. Preservationists say desperate times require desperate measures. And "Birding Among the Buried" brings people in, if only for a look. "The people who built Laurel Hill wanted these monuments to be seen," said Mr. Mitchell of Laurel Hill. "If we do nothing, isn't that the ultimate disrespect?"

He had a younger brother who I found in the 1900 census named Charles Poulterer. The 1910 census has Charles listed in the enumeration district 1209 ward 47, if I'm not mistaken this is Griard college (please correct me if I'm wrong)<< Dolly ~ The census page shows Charles as an 11 year old student and at the top of the page it *does* say Girard College. I didn't see Albert there though. I didn't see either of them in 1900. Dianne ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I have been pouing over the census all week and my elusive Rhoda Luderitz Anderson is not only missing in 1870 but also in 1900. I have however found clues...... I now am sure we have the right family as the family always wondered who it was that our father ( Benjamin Joseph Bevan) would travel to visit when young that lived on Tyson and Frankford Ave. SHERLOCK was the name that came up in most conversations but no one was sure. Rhoda would be our father's great grandmother. Rhoda LUDERITZ Anderson wife of Henry ANDERSON was widowed sometime after 1880 and before 1900. Henry and Rhoda were in NJ in 1880 with two of their children Rhoda W age 11 and Anna P age 12. Below is the census pertinent I have found, I am wondering if anyone has any connection to the family. HAINES is a new addition to our surnames. Rhoda and Henry Anderson's daughter Clara (that is their daughter if I can find a record that says she is , LOL) married Harrison BEVAN. I have been unable to locate Rhoda ANDERSON in the 1900 and at first thought she may have died but there she is in 1910 with family at 8072 Erdrick st. Where is she in 1900? I could not locate Joseph HAINES and Anna P in 1900 either.
