To All, Thanks for the reminder. Apologies. I am newly returned after being off list for about 7 years and am a bit "rusty". I just "cut and pasted" in my enthusiasm to share info. I was not endorsing any particular supplier, just trying to share purchasing options. (I guess I'd better review guidelines before I get into any more trouble.)

Hello everyone, I am looking to collect some cemetery books for Rhode Island to donate to my local Santa Clara library, remember I was looking for other genealogy books about a month ago? I received all of those from RIGS Books last week. Now, I'm hoping to get some cemetery books. John Sterling who published the North Burial Grounds book and others has written to me and I'm now ordering the following from him: The Coventry cemtery book The Exeter cemetery book The Warwick cemetery book He mentioned a woman named Lorraine Arruda, but I don't have her email address and she has produced the Hopkinton book, so I'm trying to get that one too, John sent me her snail mail address. Does anyone know if there are cemetery books on Cranston, Smithfield, Lincoln, etc.? If anyone has a source can you please let me know where I could order others? Thank you.

He left shortly after to work in New London and Norwich, Conn., returning here in May, 1863. Hearing of opportunity for work in New York in 1864 he went there, but found a strike in progress on the Times, and came back to Providence the next day. He began work in the composing room of the Journal, later going to the Evening Press, of which paper he became foreman in 1871, holding that position until 1876, when he took the commercial 'sit.' When the Press died he worked for a short time on the Mail, and Jan. 8, 1885, accepted the position of Instructor in Printing at the Sockanosset School for Boys, holding it until he died. Under his administration the Howard Times was started as an institution paper. Mr. Barnes was initiated into Providence Union Nov. 14, 1863, its secretary from 1865 to 1870, and delegate to I. T. U. in 1871. Before coming to Providence he travelled extensively on the Pacific Coast going as far south as Valparaiso, where he worked at his trade. Mr. Barnes was a private in Company D, Sixth N.

He was a member of What Cheer Lodge, No. 21, A.F. and AM.; of Providence Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star; of Roger Williams Lodge, I.O.O.F., and of Rachel Lodge, Daughters of Rebekah.

Sentinel; in the summer of 1883 he worked in this city on the Journal; his reputation as a fast compositor was national. He took first prize in local trials of speed at Hartford, Conn., and Montreal, Can. On Sept. 10, 1885, in the office of the New York Times, for a money wager, he set 2001 ems in 55 min. 30s, and 2160 ems in one hour, which still stands as his best record. He won the first prize in the Chicago tournament held in 1886. In this contest Barnes's best gross time was 3011 ems in 1 1/2 hours; best time (after deduction for time consumed in correcting), 2954 3/4 ems in 1 1/2 hours. Total for 21 hours, gross, 40,675; time correcting, 58 minutes; total net, 21 hours, 39,225 1/4. In the Philadelphia tournament, held March 16 - 27, 1886, his best gross time for 1 1/2 hours was 3220 ems; best net time, 3174 1/2 ems; total for 33 hours, 66,783 ems; time correcting total amount, 42 3/4 m.; total net amount, 65,714 1/4 ems. Mr. Barnes made two records on work never before attempted by any other compositor. At Chicago, during the first national tournament, in one hour he set 1822 ems with the lower case reversed; also in one hour he set 1005 ems blindfolded, with but one error in spacing and one typographical error. At Philadelphia, during the second national tournament, he set in 1 1/2 hours 2744 ems with the lower case reversed, occupying but 30 seconds correcting the same, and in 1 1/2 hours 1635 ems, blindfolded, with but six errors. Mr. Barnes, with the assistance of Joseph W. McCann and Alexander Duguld, edited and compiled a book relative to fast typesetting, which they published in 1887.

Greetings. Once or twice a year, I have access to a library computer with HeritageQuest, and Ancestry Library Version...and it is not now. Could someone who has access bring up "Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth", and check the Index for me for references to George Parker, a Carpenter, Aquidneck Inhabitant, 26y of age in 1638. I hope to discover the 'title' that was George Parker's in those records. It may have been Town Sergeant, or _____? I think the word 'Sergeant' is in his title, and it has been mis-construed to be 'Surgeon General' by some. For instance, at the bottom of p.33 (1646) it says, "It is ordered that Gorge Parker shalbe quitted of the tresury"...(continued on the next page, which I ..ah, did not copy (!) I am not sure this is the desired sentence giving George's title. I don't think he was a commissioner, or on any jury. Sorry to be so inept, but very grateful for smart people on this list.
