Had Mrs. Alderton lived until November 27th , next, she would have been eight-one years of age. She was a patient sufferer of a complication of diseases which together with old age, was finally more than she could stand. Mrs. Alderton was a Miss Miller before her marriage to Mr. Alderton who departed from this world some years ago. To this union was born six children, four whom are living and two dead, namely, Mrs. Maggie Whorrel, Mrs. Mattie Vanosdale, and four sons, William and Sam, restaurant proprietors of this city, and the other two having gone on before her. Mrs. Alderton was a grand neighbor, and affectionate mother and one who was dearly loved by all who had the pleasure of having her acquaintance. Hence another has passed from our midst to reap the reward that comes to those who live ! the life that He, who so patiently bore the cross for us, wants us to live. Although her pleasant smiles and kind words will be greatly missed throught-out the entire community, yet ‘tis true that she will be for evermore be with Jesus where all is eternal happiness and bliss. Interment in the city cemetery Saturday afternoon. The Advocate, in behalf of many other friends and neighbors, extend to all the bereaved relatives their most heart felt sympathy.

Howdy researchers, Sometimes things just fall into our laps, like the information I am going to share with you fell into mine. It came from a Morgan County Family (BOHRER) related mailing list and is worth a ton of gold.... There are Free On -Line College Courses dealing with a variety of genealogy related topics. You never know where you might pick up that tip that helps you break down your brick wall... check this site out. http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/index.dhtm Charlene

I am interested in and researching the Bohrer family who were in old Frederick Counties VA & MD from the 1720s - to the present. Of course many of the descendants have scattered to many places around the planet. It is our understanding that Abraham and his son, John Adam Bohrer, with wife, Lucinda J. unknown and family were in and owned property in what is now Virginia and West Virginia in the 1700s and that many of their descendents are still there at the present time. We have found many of them but we are still looking. Abraham had two other sons, John Peter and John George and a daughter, Anna Maria that we are also researching. We have considerable information on many of John Peter's descendants but would appreciate any and all information on any and all Bohrer's. Does some kind soul (SKS) know anything about this family? Please send me any Bohrer or descendant information on or off list. If not, could SKS please tell me if there is anyone that is willing to go to the courthouse and/or elsewhere to look for deeds, land records, old news articles, wills and probate records, etc.? I should be happy to pay copying costs and postage for hard copies. If SKS has any information or is interested in finding land records and/or probate records please contact me. Does SKS know if there is anyone doing Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK http://www.raogk.org/) in or near Washington County, MD? Thanks in advance (TIA) D. JAQUISS
