Hi Joyce, 
I think there will be a ceremony in Troy, Pa. on Thursday, Nov. 17, that should make the Star Gazette.  Evan S. Williams, a life long resident of Troy, passed away in the spring and the Troy School Foundation is honoring him as a distinguished Alumni.  A local artist is painting his portrait and it will hang in the new library.I am Gerald M. Ward a former resident of Troy, Pa.  Yes, Evan was my best friend and we remained friends all our lives.  I plan to attend the ceremony.  Living in Auburn, NY, 100 miles north of Troy, I hope the snow will not make the roads slippery.I hope this is a story you feel comfortable in writing about.   Gerry Ward

25 DEC 2005 Merry Christmas
Thanks to our nearly 70 volunteers whose help and friendship has been a gift to me and the site  that I  have passed on to you all year. Remember their kindness to us all.
TODAY is the day our collection of Centenarians reached the 100 mark. If you don't use the subject site map sidebar of the What's New, you have probably missed this growing collection of obits and articles about our most senior pesons. Today I added both the 99nd and 100th persons in this category. Be sure to take a look - very interesting. I am still processing obits today so may run across even more before the day is out. (Dec. 28 - have added 101, 102, and 103 already) 
A Special Merry Christmas Treat for our regular guests who check the What's New pages frequently

Remember that the site is arranged PRIMARILY around the Eighty Township Pages, and they all link from the sidebar at the right of the page. Subject areas link both from the sidebar at the left and from the icons below. My mail tells me that many long time site guests are very unaware of many of its special features. Open every window so you don't miss any.

Merry Christmas to our guests who check the What's New pages regularly - a Special treat just for you
Use the Drop Down Window to search selected areas of site for Obituaries
These represent directories in the site's structure. Clipping section includes scrapbooks of obituaries, marriages, gossip, etc. It also includes new obits where the cemetery is not identified. The Obit by cemetery pages are by county BUT obits may be on an obit by cemetery page OR in the Clipping - scrapbook section. Check both. Also remember that people are often buried in a different county than the one in which they lived or died. Another point to be aware of is that some of the very small cemteries that have few obits will have the obits on the cemetery listing page. They will be missed by this partitioned search of just the obituary directories. They will show up on the search which covers the entire site or the burials. 
If you do not click the drop down list, you will think this is just the same form of the search engine we have had for several years. It is NOT - It is a major enhancement of its utility which I will develop further depending on positive feedback I do or do not get. At this point it partitions the obituaries and cemetery listings only. While obits are added daily, the search engine in not reindexed that frequently. Added obituaries will only register when the search engine is reindexed.
