What > District is she living in on the 1910 Upshur County census? The copy of the 1910 census that I have is for the Washington District! Susannah is shown as living in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Patrick Martin and his wife, Nancy. It is difficult to read the printed portion of the census form, but I guess it is Household 181 or 183, and Family 181 or 183. The Supervisor's District No. is 3, enumeration District No. 153, Sheet No. llB - 737. It shows Susannah's birth and that of her mother and father as West Virginia. I have a Certificate of Marrage between James T. Friel in Pocahontas County, WV, on December 25, 1896, which shows Susannah's age as 33 years. This would make her born ca 1833; the 1910 census shows her age as 77, so a date of 1914, would be just about right. Thanks for all your help. I have been looking for Susannah everywhere, so I hope we can locate her.

I didn't find any Freel or Friel listed in the Washington Dist. Cem. Readings. Sorry I can't help any more than that. There is a obituary book for Upshur, but it is 1872-1911, I have had some success on the inter-library loan by searching the newspapers. Rita

Yes, I do think it may be mine. My Susanna was born about 1834. I wrote the Clerk of Upshur County and was advised that they couldn't find her death. I would appreciate any information or documentation you can give me. Susannah was first married to John Sharp on 24 Dec 1850, and John was killed in the War Between the States on 29 Oct 1864. Thereafter on 25 Dec 1866, Susannah married James Twyman Friel. Thanks again for all the help you can give me.

Trying to locate where Susannah Friel died and where she is buried. The last time I can find her is in the 1910 census for Upshur County. Thanks for all the help you can give me.

There was no other information included in the book about her. The page # of that book that the information was located on is 45. On page 46 there are there are 5 people with the name Friel--Clarence, James A. , James F., Eddie, and a male child born in 1882 to Sherman and Emma. Are any of these yours? You might interlibrary loan a copy of the Buckhannon newspaper and find a obituary for Susan there, the WV University Library, I think will loan out films. I have the cemetery book on Washington District and haven't found her there yet, although the book isn't indexed--I'm still looking. What District is she living in on the 1910 Upshur County census?

The Upshur County Death Records by Paul and Judith Hawkins has a Susan Freel died May 1,1914. 80 years old, do you think that she could be yours? Rita Goodwin

Thanks Rita, I didn't have Florence's obit. She was my grandmother. She died before I was born but I do have fond memories of my grandfather. He died about 1948 or 9.

Thanks Bob, I thought it was, just didn't have that map out--- Did I send you the Obit for Florence Tenney? I've just been reading some of the microfilm newspapers and found several Tenneys. I believe Florence' s husband is buried there in Mt. Carmel too, isn't he? BUCKHANNON RECORD March 2, 1932, pg 10 Eskew Services Are Held Monday Funeral services were held at 2 p. m. Monday at the Mt. Carmel Church following a short service at the home for Mrs. Florence Mae Eskew, 64, wife of W. H. Eskew, a farmer of Tallmansville, who died at her home at 11 p.m. Saturday. Mrs. Eskew suffered a paralytic stroke about seven months ago which was partly the cause of her death. Mrs. Florence Mae Eskew was born in Upshur County June 26, 1847, a daughter of Watson and Eliza Tenney, and married W. H. Eskew also of Upshur County. Besides her husband she is survived by five children: Harold Eskew of Route 2; Agnes Eskew, a teacher in the Upshur County schools; Paul, Edith and Donnie Eskew all at home. Burial was made in the Mt. Carmel Cemetery with the Rev. Paul Severe and Lee West Westfall in charge.

Rita, Ten Mile is indeed in Upshur County. It's very near Tallmansville. Check on your Brooks map. There are very many Tenneys in that little village.
