Hi All, As most of you know, I lost my son, David, in an automobile accident several weeks ago. David was only 21, and he was my only child. I received a number of email messages, sympathy cards, and contributions from many of you who are on these mailing lists that I maintain. There were so many that I am unable to answer each of them individually. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you. I have created a webpage in memory of David. If you would like to view it, it is: http://www.fortunecity.com/millennium/falmouth/1032/david.html Donna

Hey thanks for the obit.

This is great! Was your Fanny (now that sounds strange LOL) a Hall? Sandi....... they can hide but they can't run

Is that Elias Lockard or Lockhart? My great grandparents were named Fannie & Elias LOCKARD. I may be able to help you out. Dianna

I need someone who has access to Mingo County marriage records. I need a copy of a marriage between Fannie Hall and Elias Lockhart. I do not have an exact date just a "guesstimate." I have been told she was 11-15 years old when she married and she was born 1895, so I suppose 1906-1910. I went to WV 2 years age and found this record, copied it and put it in my case. When I returned to Ohio there was no sign of it. If someone is able to do this, obtain copy and mail to me, I will gladly pay for your efforts.

GREAT NEWS!!!! I wanted to let everyone know about the status of Senate Bill # 90 - Senate Bill 90 - Permitting access to certain persons to cemeteries or grave sites on private land - PASSED BOTH HOUSES - 3/10/00 (found on the legislature web site) According to the Governor's secretary, the bill is now pending the governor's signature & he has 10 days following the passage of the bill (until the 17th) to sign it. (confirmation by telephone) I placed a phone call to the capital to find out if this information is true. IT IS!!!! Thank you to all who have submitted email's concerning this bill. Your email was printed & passed on to the appropriate people &, if it weren't for concerned folks as yourself, this would not have been possible. Now we just need to keep our fingers crossed the bill will be signed by the Governor. Ruth Bush Highland, Harrison Co.,WV

Dear Web friends, While doing my research. I came across this article on cemeteries. Not only does it have good info but some great links including how to located cemeteries via the net. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. from Ancestry.com "VISITING CEMETERIES," by Juliana Smith With spring nearly upon us, most of us are anxious to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine. A visit to the cemetery is a good way to enjoy the great outdoors and to discover more about our families at the same time. What You Can Find While some may see us hanging around cemeteries and think us a bit ghoulish, as family historians, we know that the records and headstone inscriptions found there can be incredibly rich sources of birth and death information. Cemeteries records may include sexton's records, church burial registers, cemetery deed and plot registers, burial permits, monument (gravestone) inscriptions, and more, depending on the place and time. Indexes can be a great starting point and helpful in pinning down what cemetery an ancestor is buried in and some have been indexed by genealogical and other historical agencies. Unfortunately, however, most cemeteries are not indexed and it will be necessary to write or visit the cemetery to obtain information. A great advantage of visiting a cemetery is that you will know exactly who is buried in the plot with the ancestor, and in adjacent plots, where you may find other family members. You may find your relative buried with his or her in-laws, cousins, or the married names of siblings. Information on tombstones could include, maiden names, birth and death dates, relationships, town of origin, military service, and possibly religious affiliation. All of this can lead to other record sources that can further your search. Some ethnic groups even have photographs embedded in the tombstones. It is not uncommon to find siblings that died in infancy or at a very young age buried in these plots. These siblings may have previously been unknown to you and their death records may also provide valuable information such as parents' names, towns of origin, etc. You may also find that the grave has been maintained or is freshly decorated with flowers, possibly by another unknown or long-lost family member. If this is the case you may want to check with the cemetery office or with a caretaker to see if this visitor is known to them. Or you could leave a note in a plastic casing (to preserve it from the elements) so that other family members who visit the grave can contact you. (You will want to be careful about how much information you leave though, as you don't have any way of knowing who will run across your note.) Locating Cemeteries There are various ways to locate a place of burial for an ancestor. Death certificates will frequently contain this information, as will obituaries. Mass cards or prayer cards handed down or kept in family scrapbooks can also provide this information. Also many local societies have compiled cemetery indexes and others may have been put up on the Internet. Interment.net (http://www.interment.net/) is a good place to start looking for online cemetery records. You can also do a search, using your favorite search engine, for [the city, town, or county of interest] and "cemetery." Another useful online tool for locating cemeteries is the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Name Information Server (GNIS) at: http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html Just enter location information in the appropriate field(s) and choose 'cemetery' under 'Feature Type' and you will get a list of cemeteries in the area. By clicking on the cemetery of interest, you can also see a page that allows you to create a map of the area. If you know the religious affiliation, you might try to visit local Web sites for churches in the area. The Archdiocese of Chicago has a website just for the Catholic Cemeteries in the area at: http://www.cathcemchgo.org/home.htm Other directories online, include: Cemetery Junction http://www.daddezio.com/cemetery/junction/ Find a Grave http://www.findagrave.com/index.html List of State Veterans Cemeteries http://www.cem.va.gov/lsvc.htm Death http://www.totentanz.de/index.htm When trying to determine which cemetery in an area a family member is buried in, you might want to do a little research into the methods of transportation that were available in the area at the time. A walk-in cemetery will typically be within a couple of miles or so of the home of the deceased. Often railroads or streetcars also made stops at cemeteries, so by locating the residence of the deceased and plotting local cemeteries on a map, taking into account religious affiliations if known, you may be able to make an educated guess as to the burial location. Books like "Graveyard Shift: A Family Historian's Guide to New York City Cemeteries," by Carolyn Inskeep (http://shop.myfamily.com/ancestrycatalog/ product.asp?pf%5Fid=1126146&dept%5Fid=10103002) are also invaluable in tracing the history of cemeteries, and in tracking old cemeteries whose burials may have been relocated. Visiting Cemeteries When you visit the cemetery you will want to check with the office to see what records are available. The offices will typically contain indexes to burials and possibly maps to help locate graves. Burial records, sexton's records, cemetery deeds, plat records, burial permit records, grave opening orders, and transit records may also be held in the offices and can provide valuable information. One word of warning--don't leave a purse or other valuables in your car when you visit cemeteries. Several local news programs here in the Chicago area issued warnings in the past weeks about thieves who were preying on visitors to cemeteries and robbing their cars while they visited graves. Taking Care With Headstones If you are planning on visiting cemeteries remember to treat the headstones and markers with care. Many of these grave markers are very fragile, and even the pressure used to take a tombstone rubbing could cause damage to some stones. Do not apply shaving cream or other chemicals to the stones, as this can also cause damage. By using a mirror held at an angle or by photographing the stone at different angles, (or at different times of the day), it is often possible to make out those worn down inscriptions. I have also heard that a black light shone directly on the stone will help too. More information about tombstone care and preventing damage is available from: The Association for Gravestone Studies, 278 Main Street, Suite 207, Greenfield, Massachusetts 01301, Tel: 413-772-0836, E-mail: [email protected], http://www.berkshire.net/ags/.

Mary Ann, Thank you so much for looking this up. It is a start. I will look into this information further and see if anything comes up. This lady has been such a mystery. I noticed in the census that her mother always listed her as Elizabeth. As an adult she always listed herself as Betty.

oops. Thought I was sending To Different Address. Mary

Hi Jack, I Have only Been Through Naugatuck i or 2 times since I moved away in 1959. My Grandparents Ken and Catherine Brunty Lived At Maher For a time in the bottom across from Jenkins Store. My Uncle Tunis Built a House There also. All the Family Have Since Moved away. My Aunt Graduated From Lenore In 1950 i think. My Grandfather Died In 1962 and my grandmother remarried a Mr Harry Leitch And They Moved To Tenn.Both Are Deceased now. My Grandparents Lived Away Up the hollow almost to the end i was real small and can only remember some things. i don't know why but the stone house stands out in my mind.

Mary: I have several pictures of Naugatuch and Den Branch. There are no less than 4 cemetaries up Den Branch. Some of my wife's family are buried there. I lived in a mobile home in the front yard of the old Waldron house four years and then built a new house by Maher crossing. The first time we moved there I lived on the "straight stretch" at Ford's Restaurant. Do you remember "Chimney Rock" that was across the river at Naugatuck? Several years ago, some boys dynamited it and blew it all the way to the river....... "Preacher"
