I'm looking for the place of burial for my great grandfather James B SALTER (born 1820) died April 15 1874 in Daviess County, Indiana.
We do know that other related family members are buried in Old Union Cemetery. Last time we were there many stones were either missing, broken, weathered or overgrown.
The person officiating the service was J. A. CHOWNING. (Minister of Anticoh Christian Church)
I hope someone can help.
Hello everyone. For those who are unfamiliar with the above, as I can, I
submit the text of my Great Aunt's collection of obits and newsy things
for the purpose of "maybe" helping someone break down a "brick wall".
These items were collected from newspapers covering a time frame of the
late 1800s to WW11. They don't always have locations or exact dates in
them, but were collected as my HARRIS family moved from PA., to OH., to
IN. The souces are not always there either since my Great Aunt knew the
people involved and most were related to her and as a result, to me. I
submit these for help as it may apply, not as a notorized documentation
of events. These articles come mainly from Mifflin Co., PA., Tuscarawas
Co., OH and the area surrounding Daviess Co., IN. My Great Aunt lived
almost 90 years, so there are several scrapbooks full to pass on. I hope
this helps someone in their quest.

NEWSY STUFF
Clay City News
August - 1912
Terre Haute: Claude Trent, age eighteen, and Pansy Fuller, aged fourteen,
accompanied by his father and with a letter of consent from the girl's
mother, appealed first to the County Clerk and then to Judge Fortune of
the Circuit Court in vain for a marriage license. The Clerk said that
the law required the consent of the Circuit Judge for a girl under a
given age, and after Judge Fortune had questioned the youth and the
father he declined to give consent.
Columbus: One tangible bit of good news for the farmers in Bartholomew
County is the fact that County Agent I B Johnson has managed to bring
down the price of crushed limestone the farmers use to correct the
acidity of their soil. They had been paying $1.97 a ton and now the new
price will be $$1.25 a ton! Really good news!
I hope some of this helps some of you! Have a great SPRING!

Does anyone know of Alice " Allie " Tomey ( Tommy ) who married James Oscar Littell around 1881in Daviess and Pike Counties( the marriage is recorded in both counties for some odd reason.) They had 3 daughters...May, Ada and Lois. James married Sarah Davis after Allie's death and had 3 sons...Ted, Harley and John. I've searched for Alice's "Allie's" parents and find no records...I only have her name on her and James' marriage certificates, her tombstone at Williams cemetery in Pike County and on my great grandmother Ada's death certificate. Any help is appreciated.

I am a descendent of Sarah McLean Trowbridge and Levi Davis Salter. I have inherited my grandmother's SALTER family Bible, which has names, birthdates, marriage records, and deathdates. Unfortunately, there are no references to where the family originated from. Grandma always said that the Salter's came from South Carolina.
Sarah and Levi are buried in Asbury Chapel Cemetery, Ragsdale Indiana.
I'm looking for information on Levi, who was born June 14 1863.
I would appreciate all the help I can get, and am very willing to share anything that I have.

Dear List Members,
If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one
of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John
Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html
If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all
you need to do is visit Password Central located at
http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the
instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to
and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know
that I will be more than
happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only
need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett(a)earthlink.net
not to the entire list.
If you would like to visit the archived messages of this list or any
other Rootsweb mailing list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and
type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you
can search by dates.
There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of
us.
1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put
the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might
give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the
information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is
searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many
many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors"
they just delete it.
2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if
you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily
pick out the surnames you are looking for.
3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you
re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check
this, your responses can
become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's
servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message
because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all
the answers you are looking for.
5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any
attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are
taking a chance.
6. Now, the hardest thing is, when one of our own, a fellow member
becomes upset about a posting from one of us. It is so hard not to
jump in and add our two cents when they send their unhappiness to the
entire list. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just
let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the
scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I
might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to
contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett(a)era.com or in the evenings
at KathleenBurnett(a)earthlink.net.
Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the
posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political
announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages,
flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for
removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact
me at KathleenBurnett(a)earthlink.net
I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your
willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list
and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you
would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me.
