Please Note - If you have used the two 1969
Cherry Flats Cemetery listings on the site, please be aware that I had
the Methodist and Baptist cemetery listings completely reversed. They are
now corrected so that the Baptist
and Methodist burials are correctly
identified. We also have a new 2005 Methodist
listing and the 2005 Baptist listing in preparation. |

LeRoy Heritage Museum will hold a work bee this
Saturday at the museum building on Mill Street in LeRoy, Pa. This will
be Phase 2 of our lath and plaster demolition. Many hands make light work
so please come out and join us that day. Besides just the lath and plaster,
there are several hundred nails to be pulled, so there is a job for everyone.
The day will start at 8 a.m. and conclude at 12 noon with lunch. Please
bring a dish to pass. If you plan on coming, please respond to this email
and let us know.
We will probably hold various work bees through out this year, in
an effort to get the building at least partially open by next Spring/Summer.
There is much to do!
Also, we will hold our first fundraising dinner of the year at the
Canton Firemans Hall, Springbrook Drive, Canton, Pa. on June 18. If you
are interested in either volunteering to help serve, or to just attend,
email me for further details, and I will let you know when we know.

Tri-Counties
Ninth Birthday Postcard Blitz. - Next month will commemorate
the ninth anniversary of the founding of Tri-Counties Genealogy & History
Site. During that period countless individuals have shared their family
and community artifacts and resources with us, and also countless volunteers
have given their time and skills supporting our project. To show appreciation
to them and to commemorate this entirely unplanned for event (Believe me,
I never could have anticipated I'd continue this so long or so extensively)
I'd like to initiate a postcard blitz. Send a postcard representing
your state, county or city (or country if outside U.S.) To Joyce
M. Tice, 2068 Shaw Road, Mansfield PA 16933. These will be arranged
into a display in the Sullivan Township Museum where our local volunteers
can see them and see the appreciation all of you have for the site. If
you have any kind remarks to make about our site or its volunteers, please
include them on the card. Be sure to include your address (at least City,
State) and your email address. It will be a fun commemoration of the years
of effort that have gone into developing the site and a continued motivator
and show of appreciation for those who have invested so much of their time
making it possible. It will be interesting and rewarding to see how far
our efforts have extended in bringing you, our guests and fellow volunteers
and contributors, the history of this area and the interconnections of
its people. |

Project Started December 2002 and finished today. We are all grateful to
Pat
SMITH Raymond for taking on this and so many other Tri-County Projects.
She has been a dedicated volunteer for Tri-Counties for many years and
has tackled countless jobs too difficult for others. She will do the hard
stuff that I can't ask anyone else to do. Take a minute to drop a note
to her at Pat717@aol.com. Tell her she is wonderful, because she
is. |

With over a thousand people on the mailing list, and hundreds more using

Postcard Blitz is finally getting
into motion. Eight received today from Idaho, Missouri, Nebraska,
New York(2), Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia. Thanks so much for these treasured
gestures of friendship. One of them is a homemade card, and that is a suggestion
I was going to make. I will be completely happy with a piece of cardboard
to fit in the album with your name, note, city and state. Print a picture,
draw a picture, send your own, or your house's or your dog's picture. It
is the friendship that means so much to us after all these many years,
not whether you found the Perfect postcard. They are all perfect. . |

of James HOLTON and his wives Mary Ann CRUMB and Abby Ellen BENSON,

Family 1759-2004, Recorded by His Son, Joseph T. Holton, 1917, edited by
Jan Ezell Anderson and Mary Holton Robare with research and annotative
assistance by Su Floyd. The approximately 200 page book presents an annotated

transcription of the journal annotated with 224 footnotes of research,
over 120 photos, the Civil War memoirs of Medal of Honor recipient
Philip Petty, a 10 generation genealogical chart containing nearly 2,000
people, and references to 391 surnames of English and American families
related to the journal's author. The most prominently mentioned names
are Holton and Crum (or Crumm/Crumb) along with Allen, Banks, Boyer, Cadd,
Churchill, Corey, Crippen, Cunningham, Ezell, Farr, Gee, Hyde, Johnson,
Linford, Meads, McIntyre, Miller, Minturn, Mitchell, Moss, Nash, Oldroyd,
Petty, Read, Smith, Sturdevant, Updike, Van Zile, Wheeler, and Wright.

County Library, Rte. 6, Burlington World War II letters, American and Japanese
will be read by Mary Beth Voda, at the meeting of the Genealogy/Local History
group. If you have not yet mailed your Ninth Anniversary Postcard to Joyce

Today's Mail is in. We have heard from a total so far of 143 in 32
states. The postcards and other cards are absolutely beautiful. Those of
you who get to look at this Ninth Anniversary Album will certainly enjoy
the beautiful cards and the very nice message. Thanks so much. I needed
a BOOST after these nine years, and this is a big help. |
| 24 JUL 2005 |
Our Ninth Anniversary Memory book now has over 174 postcards from
a few less people than that (some send several) from 36 states. They are
all wonderful, very creative and we are enjoying them very much. Thanks, |

So far we have well over 250 postcards from 43 states, D.C., Australia,
Belize and British Columbia, Canada.
States we have not heard from include Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas,
Louisiana, North & South Dakota, West Virginia. We still have not heard
from a Wyoming resident. New Jersey has sent only one emailed card and
I know we have many guests in New Jersey.
I have been sending thank you emails until the last few days. House
guests have thrown me out of my routine so I don't even know where I left
off.
The cards and greeting are wonderful and the Ninth Anniversary Commemorative
album is even nicer than anything I imagined before we started. Thanks
so very much to all of you. Hearing from our many long time guests as well
as new ones is very rewarding. It is so nice to know that so many
of those who started with us many years ago are still using the site.
It is very good for me to be reminded how many great people use
the site and how important it is to you. Joyce M. Tice |

Ninth Anniversary Postcard Shower Update - I will post here a daily
tabulation by state and country the number of postcards we receive to help
us celebrate this event. We'll also let the Star-Gazette and other papers
know if it turns out to be the success we hope
for. We want to make our local people more aware how widely used the site
is throughout the country and world. Maybe we'll even be able to recruit
some new cemetery reading local volunteers if we can make a big splash
of this postcard celebration. We need local attention and media coverage
to get our resident people to participate in site work that can only be
done here. Let them and us know you use it and value it by sending in your
state-county-city postcard. Details here if you missed
that annnouncement |
