An FYI: I just looked up Phillipi, WV and it is located in Barbour Co., WV where I found Elam & Mary Farance. That could be a good sign!...............Karen

Terry,
Not related, but did find some info regarding Laura Farance Chandler:
I found a Laura Farance living in the household of Elam & Mary (Haddix) Farance in 1900 Barbour Co., WV. The other children listed in this household were Mary J., James P., Floyd, Isora, Rosy M., Lillie B., Ben H., Arthur and Elam H. Laura's birthdate is listed as April 1894. Not sure if this is her family.
In the 1910 Liberty Twp., Delaware Co., IN census I found a Laura Farance, age 16, born WV-WV-WV. She is listed as the daughter of Sarah M. Satterfield. Also in the household is Howard Satterfield, son of Sarah, age 31, born in WV. It is possible this is the Laura Farance who marries Elmer H. Chandler, but unable to determine is this Laura Farance is the same as listed in 1900 WV census with Elam & Mary Farance.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that my mother (a member of our email list),
Mardena Adams (Marty) passed away yesterday afternoon.
I know she had chatted with several members on the lists, (mostly from the
Delaware County email list) and enjoyed helping do look ups.
She worked for a while at Union Cemetery in Eaton and spent quite a bit of
time reorganizing their record books to make it easier for researchers to
get information.
She was my inspiration and the person that got me started in Genealogy. She
so loved to read the emails from our groups and did so up until she was no
longer able to sit in front of her computer.
If you would please remember my family as we are preparing for her funeral
and as we learn to overcome our loss.
Below is her obituary that will be posted in the Muncie Newspaper tomorrow
and Tuesday.
Mardena Elaine (Harmon) Adams, 76, went home to be with the Lord, on August
30, 2008. She was born March 19, 1932 in Eaton, Indiana, to Chester Gail and
Geraldine Princeton (Duddleston) Harmon. Mardena attended Eaton High school
and married Billy Lee Adams, April 28, 1950.
She pastored along side of her husband for over fifty years in the Church of
God, Reformation Movement, Anderson, Indiana, They established Pauline
Avenue Church of God in August of 1979. She was the Mother of her Church
family, where she played the organ, chaired Super Church, and was the
Devotional Leader of the Sonshine Ladies Group. She was a member of TOPS
Club Inc.
She worked at WT Grants, Ball Stores and Union Cemetery in Eaton, Indiana.
Most recently she and her husband had Craft Shops located in Metamora,
Indiana, the Main Street Flea Market, in Muncie, and the Daleville Flea
Market.
She taught Country Tolle Painting classes for many years. She enjoyed
rummaging, Genealogy, and making quilts for her family members and Church
give-a-ways.
Surviving are her husband of 58 years, Rev. Billy L. Adams; her children,
Cindy Elaine Nelson (husband Roy), Muncie, Billy Dean Adams, (wife Lisa),
Muncie, Mary Jo Pollard, (husband Harvie), Muncie, Aleesa Ann Mastin,

Muncie, her cousin, Jerry Musice, (wife Debbie), Missouri, a special niece,

nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father, Chester Gail Harmon, her sister,

granddaughter, Amanda Alfont.
Services will be 10:00 a.m. Wednesday at Pauline Avenue Church of God with
