Ref. PSR-D version V98 #364 my Oysterville Query + "LOL" et al: A. Thanx a MEG. for the several responses to my query, but let me clarify it a bit more for some who wondered - I am doing this for Rosemary Peeler in Sydney, Australia who e-mailed me re: 1. I.A. Clark whom she found via a brochure to be Isaac Alonzo Clark who has been said to be one of two founders of OYSTERVILLE, WA. Rosemary and I are interested in finding out more about this Clark who had married Henrietta____, his 1) wife and Rosemary's GrtGM's' Aunt Henrietta. So, any info which any of you kind persons out there can provide on OYSTERVILLE, Isaac Alonzo Clark as one of the founders, and/or his 1)wife Henrietta____, he also had a wife 2) Sarah____. and perhaps a little on Oroville history would be greatly appreciated by Rosemary and myself. 2. Carroll Clark had kin in OYSTERVILLE, WA , according to a copy of an 1886 letter from Oregon, talking about the genealogy of my Clark Fam. Besides, many of the Fam. in and around Central City, IN. was mention of DELIA WHEELER, of Oysterville, WA TERR. as a Cousin living there circa 1886. She was there for a brief time span I would surmise from some other data I know of her. I have inquired about this before w/o success, but I shall submit it again for any possible response from someone who might run across the name among the Oysterville folk. Rosemary has been pursuing the census film for 1860- stating she has already found her Grt GM on a page previously. Thank you for any help you might extend, Rosemary Peeler, Sydney, Australia rmpeeler@real.net.au and Carroll Clark, Snohomish, WA clarkw7iml@juno.com P.S. Oh, I didn't mean to stir the caldron with my use of "LOL" but it was interesting to see all the "caustic comments" (not really!) that eminated on good ol' PSR - it was fun to read, and it brings out the fact that we are becoming more and more object of the "flack" of the technology as it unfolds, no avalanches upon us, inundating us with a barrage of "intellectual paragese" that the "newbies" don't cotton to, and the "old timers" (Codgers like myself!), don't give a d. . . . . (darned). Oh, and John Sloniker, don't part with you Library Card! We must be card carrying members of the '90s, until everything kicks in in 2K (another one of those abbreviates) when you can throw away your Safeway Club Card and whip out your plastic ( or some other media) money not worth the material it was maged on (magnetics, laser, whatever!). And John, if you think that the computer world aka cybernetics (that will be replaced by new nomenclature by 2K, so that it will become obsoleted), it taking over so that you won't be able to go to the Archives, wait til the new stuff comes out! HDTV, Digitalized Brains, - hook up your noggin with probes and all you will have to do is to T H I N K to Send and A B S O R B to Accept the new data - no screens eventually - it will all play out before you in the Theatre of Your Brains (requiring new nomenclature). John, won't that just beat the Living Heaven out of t e l e g r a p h y ? Wonder what ham radio will be like then - N O A N T E N N A E !!! LOL, whoops Hi Hi, whoops LAFFTER! O);-)=>><<% Amen!
