THE PAYPAL 6 DOLLAR MONEY-MAKING METHOD
All you need is:
1) An email address
2) A PayPal account
3) $6.00
THIS IS A 2009 "CURRENT EMAIL LIST" What do you have to lose being you are only
sending 1 dollar to six people. I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, but over a few days
hundreds starting appearing in my PayPal account! It was like Christmas
morning!!!!
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:
The first thing to do is highlight and SAVE this entire post in Word or notepad
on your computer so you can come back to it later. After that, if you are not
already a PayPal user you need to go to the PayPal website which is
http://www.paypal.com .
If you want to be able to receive credit card payments from other people then
you will need to sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not just a PERSONAL
account). This is highly recommended to allow others easy payment options. In
order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will have to verify your
bank account with PAYPAL (which may take a few days). PAYPAL is 100% secure and
is used by millions of people worldwide.
STEP 2:
Here is where the action occurs. The first thing to do is to send a $1.00
payment to each of the 6 email addresses on the current list from your PayPal
account. To do this quickly and successfully, follow these simple steps:
1. Login to PayPal and click on the "Send Money" tab near the top of the screen.
2. In the "Recipient's Email" field enter the email address.
3. In the "Amount" field enter "1" (This is your $1.00 payment).
4. In the "Category" field select "Service" (Keeping it legal).
5. In the "Subject" field type "EMAIL LIST", and in the "NOTE" field. Enter
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST". By doing this, you are creating a service
and maintaining the legality of the system by "p
aying" for the service.
6. Finally, click on the "Continue" button to complete the payment.
Repeat these steps for each of the 6 email addresses. That's it! By sending the
$1.00 payment to each address, you are implementing the compounding POWER of the
system. You will reap what you sow!
Here is the current e-mail list:
1) cbr_mc(a)yahoo.com
2) iflipboyznyci(a)aol.com
3) msindpndnt47(a)yahoo.com
4) slimt_51(a)hotmail.com
5) olivecross1(a)gmail.com
6) jimmack2100(a)yahoo.com
STEP 3:
Now take the #1 email off of the list that you see above (from your saved file),
move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR email
address (the one used for your PayPal account) as number 6 on the list. This is
the only part of the document that should be changed. ** Make sure your email
address is the one you have registered with PayPal **
STEP 4:
Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or message boards.
Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of groups online! All you need is
200, but remember the more you post the more money you make - as well as
everyone else on the list! I've began to see money roll in before I even hit 100
posts, but try to hit around 200 to allow maximum exposure. Use Netscape,
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or whatever your internet browser is to
search for various news groups, log on to any search engine like yahoo.com or
google.com and type in a subject like 'MILLIONAIRE MESSAGE BOARD', 'MONEY MAKING
DISCUSSIONS', 'MONEY MAKING FORUMS', or 'BUSINESS MESSAGE BOARD', PAYPAL 6
DOLLAR, OPRAH 6 DOLLAR PAYPAL METHOD.
You will find thousands and thousands of message boards. Click them one by one
and you will find the option to post a new message. Fill in the subject which
will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of
postings in a particular group, and post the article with the NEW list of email
addresses included. THAT'S IT!!

Another idea to follow the trail of his death. You would need to get his death certificate, which should give where he is buried at or at least who the undertaker was. Then see about getting the undertaker record of his death (they might of even taken care of her), then at the cemetery hopefully she has a completed head stone that will at least give you a death year, even if she remarried, she should more than likely be buried with her first husband but not always a given. With a death year then you can ask the Adams County and Van Buren County Health Departments for a search for her death certificate, then you should also be able to get an obit from either historical/genealogy society or local library. Another thing to look through would be the old telephone books if they have been kept, to see when she was last listed with a phone, that would also help lead you to where she might of passed. Andrea

I am hoping that someone can help me find out what happened to my gg-grandmother. I am looking for the death record of Harriet Stevens Hudson who was born in Adams County, Indiana April 8, 1853 to James and Sarah Melodar Stevens. She was the widow of Thomas Hudson who died in Van Wert County, Ohio in 1900. I don't know when Harriet died or exactly where, but I am assuming Adams County, Indiana or Van Wert County, Ohio. I know the information I am giving out is vague, especially when I don't even know when she died, but I am hoping someone has a searchable death index for these counties.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

In the 1920 census for Van Wert Co., OH I find a Harriet Hudson enumerated with her son Marion and another son, Homer. This sounds like the family you are looking for.

Kenneth H. Runyon Dies Last Evening
Prominent Decatur Man Taken By Death
Kenneth H. Runyon, 45, prominent Decatur businessman, died at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday evening at his home, 234 North First street. He had been in failing health for the past two or three years, and seriously ill for the last three weeks.
Mr. Runyon, a lifelong resident of Adams county, purchased the Decatur Insurance Agency in 1944 and operated the agency until a few months ago, when he sold it to the Heller Insurance Agency, with whom he remained as an insurance consultant until his serious illness.
He graduated from the Decatur high school in 1926 and attended Park College, Mo. He was appointed a substitute city mail carrier April 1, 1939, and was named a regular carrier Nov. 1, 1941, serving until his entry into the insurance field in 1944.

He was born in Adams county June 30, 1908, a son of Roy and Lottie Lammimon-Runyon, and was married to Miss Mary Jane Kunkel.
Surviving are his wife; his parents, who also reside in Decatur; two sons, Kaye Runyon, serving with the U. S. navy at San Diego, Calif., and David Runyon, at home, and a grandmother, Mrs. Rachel Martz of New Carlisle.
