And the National Park Ranger in charge of the museum is our dear friend and Lois' cousin, Rita Knox. Always wonderful to here Rita tell Canal stories. Oh, the museum is at the Western Maryland Train Station. Connie

8. Re: [MDGARRET] Potomac start [1]
I was just looking at the area on the Microsoft Terraserver http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/default.aspx which shows very detailed topo maps and aerial photos. It looks like the Backbone Mountain range is the divider between the Potomac and Monongahela watersheds and the N. Branch starts east of the ridge up in an area about 3100 feet in elevation. Town names on the map nearer than Thomas WV are Kempton and Fairfax. I know when my great uncle was born there in 1891 the area was called Fairfax Di
9. Re: [MDGARRET] Bear Creek Burial Grounds [1]
Several members of my MOSSER family are buried there. If I remember correctly it is north of Accident on 219 and you would turn left onto Collier Road. Not too far down the road there is a fork in the road. The fork to the left is a lane into what used to be the Bender farm. The cemetary is on the left not far from the house. It is hard to see from the road because it is on a hill and the road is lower. In 1992 when I was there it was in very bad shape and cows were allowed to roam free over it so man
10. Re: [MDGARRET] Re:Emigrant Travel by Water Taxies/Barges from Baltimore to Cumberland [1]
Baltimore was a thriving town and seaport when the C & O Canal was finished to Cumberland. It doesn't take much imagination to see barges of material (and passengers) being shipped from Baltimore to Cumberland on the C & O Canal. Just load a barge in Baltimore, tow it down the Chesapeake Bay and up the Potomac River to the canal. It would be more efficient than loading and unloading wagons to get it to the canal and Interstate 70 wasn't finished, yet. Leon

Frostburg to Westernport is along George's Creek, Yes. It is about 10 miles. The Georges Creek merges into the Potomac in Westernport. About 1 mile west of Westernport is the small town of Luke, MD and the Paper Mill. The local's call it the Luke Paper Mill. It was WestVaCo for a long time and is now Mead or MeadCo.

Icy's death year was probably 1966 and, having survived her according to her obit, Ira's would have to be after 1966." Garrett Co. Graves Book I by DAR, pg 24, listed Ira as, 1884-1968 buried beside Icie M., 1892-1965. Ira and Icie are buried beside Melvey G.

Shirley, You said Okie Friend was the son of William H. Friend, s.o. John H. and Savilla Savage Friend. Who did this William Friend marry? That would be Okie's mother. I rememer Okie Friend from when I was a child. He was a nice man. Delores

Delores . . . The Canal was finished during the period 1847 (when my gg-grandparents landed in Baltimore. Her letter of 1854 had the instruction to my g-grandfather Conrad and his siblings about taking the barge from Baltimore. Very possible that she wasn't clear where it was located for sure as she instructed them to see Johannes Fritz (or Frantz) at the pub in Baltimore. Maybe he was to give them directions to Washington, DC. I'm frantically searching the 1850 census for Katharina Hedderich (b. 12

http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/wash/dc6.htm This page gives a lot of information (with dates) about the building of the canal. Delores, the Potomac River does flow north from Fairfax Stone area until it reaches Harper's Ferry (WV). Gee, hope I am right about that but I am sure someone will correct me if I am not.

Hi Connie! I'm still here -- also had a major computer meltdown -- had to replace my old one, then after only a few months the new one failed. Dell fixed it for free, but I had to send it to them etc etc. And now, of course, I'm always nervous...AND I spent July in Raleigh NC with my eldest while she waited and then produced her 3rd child -- a healthy, beautiful girl, Hazel Rhianna Holt. I was privileged to be at the birth. What a lot of work. It was truly awesome. And now she has a 4 yearold,

The C&O ends in Cumberland, but barge traffic was further up river to/from Westernport not far from Frostburg.
