Retired teacher's passion is researching her roots Tuesday, September 06, 2005 By Bob Batz Jr., Pittsburgh Post-Gazette LaVerne Hunter has done extensive research on her genealogy. Next to her is a picture of her parents, Eunice Conway Nichols and John Nathaniel Nichols. History used to make her fall asleep. Now it makes LaVerne Hunter literally tremble with excitement. Especially when, as she puts it, "it's personal." That is, when the history is hers and that of her family. She still can vividly recount how she felt when, while tracking down one of her great-grandfather's brothers, she cold-called and questioned a "Booker T." in Philadelphia who turned out to be related to him -- a direct hit. As she recounts, "I started to foam at the mouth. I shouted! I whooped! I felt like Alex Haley," the author of "Roots." Researching her roots has become her passion. "It's putting flesh on the bones." She encourages others to join her, something she'll be doing Saturday when a group to which she belongs, the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, puts on a program with the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, titled "Finding African-American Ancestors." "So many African-Americans don't know their history," says Hunter, a retired math teacher in Penn Hills, who thinks it's especially important for children to know where they're from. She gets frustrated at how some friends don't even know who their grandparents are. She knows that African-Americans can face special challenges inknowing their family histories, but they also can reap very special rewards. Consider her family tree, which took root on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where her parents were born and raised. She has traced it back to a slave who escaped from Mississippi, only to be "sold down the river" again before fighting in the Civil War -- one of two great-great grandfathers to serve in the war. She's traced it to a Cleveland aunt who "cooked a cat" -- one that had crawled into her oven. Hunter is blessed in that her parents are still living and her dad is a storyteller who has regaled her with oral history over the years. She's lucky, too, that she's the kind of person who has always written things down. "Finding African-American Ancestors" When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Where: Homewood branch, Carnegie Library, 7101 Hamilton Ave. Admission: Free, but you must preregister by calling 412-622-3154. For more information: 412-687-6811. The speaker: Washington, D.C.-area genealogist Char McCargo Bah last year used old city directories to determine that a German man for whom she was doing research shares a great-uncle with her -- they're cousins. As chronicled in a story in the Free Lance-Star newspaper of Fredericksburg, Va., the man, Harald Stoelting, was a "Brown Baby," one of many offspring of black U.S. soldiers and German mothers after World War II. Also coming up: Annual Genealogy Seminar, noon to 4 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Carnegie Library in East Liberty, featuring Aletha Solomon, whose book "From The Rising of The Sun ... The Genealogy and Family Tree of the Sphinx Family" chronicles the lives of more than 2,500 family members, beginning in Mississippi in 1815. Guests must register for this session at 412-243-5423. But it's only in recent years that she's worked to document everything by sleuthing through government records and other archives and working resources on the Internet. From her experience, she can offer plenty of advice. Some is general, such as: Talk to all your aging relations before it's too late, and keep lots of notes. Some is specific: When looking up names of slaves or their descendants, remember that some didn't take their masters' last names, or spelled them differently, so also search for phonetic variants. If you can't find a certain relative, find and talk to the people whose families lived next door. "You have to be a good investigator," she says. "Be curious. Be nosy." Because Census records listed only free blacks, not slaves, before 1870, that year may be a brick wall to going any further back. Hunter can trace one of her lines back to 1840, suggesting to her that they were "free-born" blacks who may have come from Africa as indentured servants rather than slaves. Last year, she paid for her mother and her mother's brother to take DNA tests through a company called African Ancestry (<http://www.AfricanAncestry.com>www.AfricanAncestry.com). On a display board that she will bring Saturday are certificates saying that her mother's side shares genetic ancestry with the Ewondo people from Cameroon and the Temne people of Sierra Leone. Hunter also had her father take the test, and results showed he shares maternal genetic ancestry with the Yoruba and Hausa people in Nigeria, as well as paternal genetic ancestry of European origin -- possibly going back to a slave owner. Such results aren't conclusive, and are in fact controversial with some, but Hunter believes the clues are as good as are scientifically possible now, and well worth the $1,200 total she paid for them -- especially since she now has an idea that her roots are more geographically specific than just the entire continent of Africa. "I was elated," she says. "It's like [being] a child who's been adopted and finding out who your birth parents are. It's like a hole in your soul is filled." She still has a lot of holes to fill. This family griot (storyteller/historian), as some relatives call her, wants to determine if her parents, who grew up in a stable African-American community, might actually be distant cousins. She wants to try to trace some of her relatives back beyond 1870 and perhaps even back to Africa. She also plans to compile her research into "something to give to my children," perhaps a book. "I love the past so much," she says, and just talking about it makes her tremble. ---------- (Bob Batz Jr. can be reached at <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] or 412-263-1930.)
Region's old cemeteries filled with history, pitfalls http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05249/566265.stm Tuesday, September 06, 2005 By Caitlin Cleary, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The oldest of the gravestones in Murrysville's Olive Cemetery pitch and tilt, but hold fast to the earth, veiled by high weeds, their engraved words worn smooth by time and weather. On those granite slabs, and in the parish records of what was once the Olive Reformed Church, are the long-forgotten stories of those who lived, worshiped and died here. With the Olive Reformed Church long gone, Gladys Ostronic has become the caretaker by default of Olive Cemetery in Murrysville. "I don't know who to give it over to, pass it on to," Ostronic said. "It's not like there's money to say, here, take care of this -- there is not. I do worry about the future of this little cemetery." Elias Cashdollar, 60, died Aug. 15, 1880 -- kicked by a colt. Catherine, Hugh and Philip Hill, 19, 14 and 4, all died in the winter of 1878 as diphtheria, smallpox and other diseases ravaged the Olive congregation. Baby Boy Summerhill died in 1942. Despite all of the compelling history buried under its grassy lot, Olive Cemetery barely gets by -- and only then because of its lone caretaker, with some help from local Rotarians. With no church to maintain it, the final resting place for all these souls was turned over to Gladys Ostronic, a hairdresser from Monroeville. Ostronic said she has been responsible for Olive Cemetery since the 1980s, when its location near the intersection of Logans Ferry Road and Holiday Park Drive was much more rural. Now the cemetery is tucked directly behind the large new homes of the Summer Ridge subdivision. A screen of pine trees separates the grave sites from the back yards, with their tranquil swimming pools and bright plastic swing sets. The stones are marked with names like Beamer and Remaley, some of the oldest families in Murrysville, known then as Franklin Township. Revolutionary War and Civil War veterans are buried there. The records from Olive Reformed Church -- disbanded around 1960 and demolished more than 10 years ago -- document generations of baptisms and marriages, as well as deaths from such period ailments as apoplexy, typhoid fever and whooping cough. Olive is just one of many such abandoned cemeteries in Westmoreland County and around the region. Orphans of their original churches, or private family plots sold off and reused generations later, they are islands of the past in a new suburban sea. Their survival relies on community volunteers, the shrinking pool of relatives of the dead, and a resurgence of interest in genealogy and historic preservation. Ostronic inherited the job from her mother, who was the last person to be buried there, in 2000. Caretaker by default, she was given a map, a briefcase full of old papers and a bank account with $50 in it, said Pete Geiger of Murrysville, a member of the Murrysville-Export Rotary Club whose mother was a Remaley. Once a year, Rotarians pitch in to give the abandoned cemetery "a good working over" for Memorial Day, Geiger said. "A church builds a cemetery, then it goes out of operation," he said. "The corporation stays on the books, but everybody dies. So there's a cemetery with nobody responsible for it." According to Scott Doyle, a historic preservation specialist with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, the public's interest in preserving historic cemeteries is high right now. "You're the fourth call I've received today," said Doyle. "It's a pretty active group of people, and there's a big concern about historic cemeteries in the commonwealth. As for those that assume care for these abandoned cemeteries by choice or by default, we can provide guidance on what appropriate measures are to document or restore them." Every year, Ostronic writes letters to the small and dwindling number of relatives of the deceased, asking them for donations. She hires a local man to mow the grass, but tries to stretch out the meager funds by having him mow only before the "big holidays," like Mother's and Father's days. "I don't know who to give it over to, pass it on to," said Ostronic. "It's not like there's money to say, here, take care of this -- there is not. I do worry about the future of this little cemetery." Ostronic has her own story marked down in the parish records of Olive Reformed -- born to Rees Davis and Gladys Bond McCoy, baptized Dec. 8, 1946, by the Rev. H.A. Robb. She remembers going to church at Olive Reformed as a little girl, with her mother, aunt, cousin and grandmother. Olive's sparsely populated front rows, long wooden pews and skinny windows, the outhouse and creepy basement, all exist now only in her memory. But Ostronic thinks the cemetery ought to be preserved, for history's sake. "I wish there was some way of getting money," Ostronic said. "Nobody gives unless they have someone here." Olive is not the only cemetery that relies on volunteers to keep it going. "There are several private cemeteries that are very much floating right now," said Carl Patty of Murrysville, a local historian. He cited one private plot off Hickory Hill Road, where members of the Armstrong and Wilson families are buried, and another family cemetery out Haymaker Farm Road, on what was the McCall farm but is now Hunt Club Estates. According to Doyle, there is limited funding available for surveying, documenting and preserving cemeteries, and the degree of protection state laws afford them is unclear. The Pennsylvania consolidated statutes define a "historic" burial ground as being at least 100 years old, and having had no interments within the past 50 years. When a church cemetery is neglected, becoming a "public nuisance," a court may direct the township to manage and improve it. But for private family burial grounds, there is little or no protection at all, Doyle said, because family plots were never incorporated or strictly regulated. Doyle manages two grant programs that award money for historic preservation projects, but both appear to have long lists of conditions and eligibility requirements. Within the next year, Doyle said, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission plans to launch a Web site to assist the public -- clarifying all cemetery legislation and listing all the resources and funding opportunities. The private cemetery next door to Jeremy and Lesllie Coleman's old house in Lower Burrell was the town junk yard, a forest of dead trees strewn with scrap metal, piles of old tires and the trash from teenagers who came to party in its clandestine location, behind Clementine's Restaurant on Leechburg Road. But underneath the roots of those dead trees lay the family of William Ross, a Revolutionary War soldier and one of the original elders of Lower Burrell's Puckety Presbyterian Church. "My wife's really spiritual," said Coleman, now of Allegheny Township. "It was her idea to clean it up." Coleman, who works in the baby food division of Del Monte, began to clear the small piece of land in his spare time. He uncovered one toppled headstone when his rake hit it, and three others that had been tossed over the steep hillside bordering the cemetery. "I had a lot of time off, and my wife wanted me out of the house. I like working outside, and once I start something I go into it completely," he said. The cemetery was private and inactive, the last person buried there in 1927. Someone owed back taxes on it, Coleman said, and when it was put up for sale at a sheriff's auction, nobody bought it. "Nobody really wanted the property, because it's a useless piece of property," he said. "You can't do anything with it. You have to be respectful. But the taxes needed [to be] paid on it, so they made up a price -- $330." With the help of local businesses and individuals, Coleman planted grass, sawed off the dead trees and started learning a lot of local history. For instance, the Ross family owned wineries and a distillery, which created controversy and feuding among local churches. There is a marker for Andrew Ross, who was buried at sea during the U.S.-Mexican War; he died of a respiratory infection after suffering from the extreme climate change. A big iron fence once surrounded the Ross cemetery, but during the shortages of World War II it was removed and melted down for weaponry, said Coleman. It was replaced with barbed wire, which can still be seen stuck in the middle of the trees that grew up around it. These days, the Ross cemetery looks like a small park, shielded by a canopy of trees, with new headstones and a donated bench, along with a tire swing for Coleman's 4-year old son, Zakk. Last year, a contingent from Puckety Presbyterian visited on an organized bus tour. Coleman and his family have moved a few miles away, and can't spend as much time as they used to fixing up the cemetery. But he is still determined that it won't revert back to the junk yard it was before. He'd like to plant some flowers, and have somebody test the area with sonar to find out how many people are really buried in Ross cemetery. "I don't really have the $2,000 to spend on it -- I make like $9.20 an hour," Coleman said. "People used to party there, and everybody was always saying there's more stones, there's more stones," he said. "Who knows how many more are out there? It'd be nice to know." ---------- (Caitlin Cleary can be reached at <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] or 412-263-2533.)
