I still need the parents of William Lunsford who married 12 March 1846 to
Susannah Stoner. They lived in Rockbridge County, Virginia.
Thanks for any help in this matter.

Mrs. Robinson died Saturday at Riverview Hospital in Gadsden.

Robinson
OXFORD
Services for Vera Cosby Robinson, 70, of 1516 Lee Avenue, Oxford, will be
Wednesday at 1 p.m. at Meadowbrook Baptist Church, with Revs. Parrish Sprugeon
and Kenneth Hutto officiating. Burial will be at Pine Hill Cemetery in
Talladega.
Survivors include three daughters, Barbara Quarles and Pam Gordon, both of
Huntsville, and Carroll Bentley of Bynum; two sons, Marcus Robinson of Oxford
and Joe T. Robinson of Munford; one sister, Janie Duncan of Talladega; two
brothers, Veci Cosby of Talladega and Jewel Cosby of Oklahoma; 13
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers will be family members and friends.
Mrs. Robinson, a native of Talladega County and a resident of Oxford for 29
years, had been living in Barfield Health Care in Guntersville for the past
four years. She retired from Magic Chef after many years of service. She was a
member of the Salem Presbyterian Church in Alpine and was the widow of Albert
J. Robinson.
I knew last year when this issue arose, I read the proposal on the FCC web
site prior to writing my e-mail to them. When I read this recent post, I
admit I did not check out their web site, but I have done so now and all I
find is the original proposal and deadline for replies which was February
14, 1997 - not 1998. Therefore, I do not know if this issue is still alive
or not.

>>ohn,
This issue did arise last year and I never saw anything to indicate this
was a hoax. Perhaps I acted hastily by passing this along to the lists,
but if it is indeed real, it will have a great impact on all of us
researching on the internet.
If anyone has further information regarding this issue, please contact me.
My apologies if this turns out to be a hoax.

The following information is appearing on other mailing lists. I am
passing it
on because it appears to be authentic and needs to be brought out into
public discussion before it is put into law. Note the email address where
you can register your concern. Spread the word - note deadline is 2/13/98.

I am writing you this to inform you of a very important matter
currently under review by the FCC. Your local telephone company has
filed a proposal with the FCC to impose per minute charges for your
internet service. They contend that your usage has or will hinder the
operation of the telephone network.
It is my belief that internet usage will diminish if users were
required to pay additional per minute charges. The FCC has created an
email box for your comments, responses must be received by February
13, 1998. Send your comments and tell them what you think.

Every phone company is in on this one, and they are trying to sneak it
in just under the wire for litiagation. Let everyone you know hear
this one. Get the e-mail address to everyone you can think of.
