Interesting that Frank was in the US Navy. My grandfather, John S. Nichols, was a medical corpsman between about 1925 and the end of World War II. He was stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1941 when the Japanese attacked. He was at some point involved in hospital administration. There is a website called something like the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation that has information on naval personnel - the only catch is that someone, either the individual himself or his relatives, has to submit the information. You also may want to contact the US Military Personnel people in Saint Louis, Missouri. They have the actual records that still exist (they had a fire that destroyed some at one time) and may be able to help you. I don't have the websites for either of these, but you can probably google them. Hope this helps.

one of the popular German cemeteries was prospect hill located on Lincoln road N.E. next to the Glenwood cemetery. Glenwood now has the records for prospect hill cemetery. The people at Glenwood are very helpful.

The Union Catalog Division of the Library of Congress lists all the known published foreign newspapers in their files. I know this because back in 1952 I worked in that division typing those files that eventually were printed in a book. Hope this is of help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

There's a German Singing Society, organized 1851, still in existence - Washington Saengerbund, Inc. 2434 Wisconsin Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20007 www.geocities.com/saengerbund/ Maybe they can suggest sources for your research.

If you know the area she lived or where she was buried you could try the cemetery records or the church records. The German churches kept wonderful records and I am constantly surprised at what can be found there - at least in the Maryland German Churches.

My gg grandmother's death certificate in 1913 had her maiden on it, but it was listed as part of her name not a separate question. It read Eliza Beardsley Miller. I know at some point in transcribing and reading the Washington Post I have seen a reference to a German Society in DC. At the time, I meant to save it...might have..but don't know where at the moment. My Becker's and Steiner's in early DC were both from Germany.

Does anyone know if there was a German newspaper printed in DC in the 1850-1900's? Or was there any other communication or club exclusive to Germans at that time? What other document would list a woman's maiden name other than a marriage license, death notice or will? I am at my wit's end trying to find a maiden name for a gggrandmother who came over from Germany and only listed Mary. Even her death notice did not give it - no will either. Thanks listers, Barbara

The city puts a tax levee on the ballot often for the library and it's usually voted in. So its most likley a city tax, some communites veto it and their libraries have cut back services.

9 July 1906 - Washington Post CAR CREW EXONERATED Nobody is blamed for the death of Mrs. Emma Crumbaugh Deputy Coronor Glazebrook yesterday rendered a verdict of unavoidable accident in the death of Mrs. Emma Crumbaugh, of the Canal Road, who was killed by a Cabin John Bridge street car Friday night. At the inquest, which was held at the morgue, Motorman B. C. Bell and Conductor H. C. Ewing, who were in charge of the car, were declared free of any blame in the matter. Mrs. Crumbaugh's body was turned over to Undertaker John McCarthy yes- terday and he removed it to his chapel. It will remain there until Monday, when it will be shipped to Walker's Chapel, Va., where it will be buried. Mrs. Crum- baugh is survived by her husband, Lew Crumbaugh, and four children. Did a google search of Walkers Chapel and came up with two, one in Shenandoah County, Virginia and the other in Arlington, Virginia on North Glebe Road. Cheers, Michael Kent Island, Maryland

I'm from Illinois, but our County real estate taxes include taxes to your local library - I'm sure it is the same nationwide. It pays the taxes to the library, schools, fire dept., community college, road taxes, etc. Jan In a message dated 7/18/2005 9:49:45 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Never heard of paying taxes to a library! Where are you from?

Not sure who this query is for?:-). But...I live in Virginia Beach, Va. and I pay State and City taxes which support our libraries. All funds received by the libraries here from overdue books etc go straight to the city and the library does not keep a penny of that money. margy > > Never heard of paying taxes to a library!
