KRAUSSDALE
John KRAUSS, son of Adam KRAUSS, left for Newark, N.J. after a week's
vacation with his parents. Mr. KRAUSS is an electrical engineer.
Victor GROH, son of Mrs. GROH, of Philadelphia, left for his home after
spending a four week's vacation with Mr. and Mrs. Aaron K. CARL.
The following were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron K. CARL on Sunday: H.
MERKEL, of Trumbauersville, Mr. and Mrs. Frank MERKEL,
I understand there is a big difference between records from individuals who served in the Continental Army and those who served in militia units.
I have a record from the book "History of Christ Reformed Church @ Indian Creek" which reads;
Abraham Benner, son of John, 4th Co. 5th Bat. Phila. Co. Mil. Co.
Christian Benner, son of John, 4th Co. 5th Bat. Phila. Co. Mil. Co. 1779
It seems if they went to that much trouble to name the Company and Battalion that records for these men may exist.
Where would I look

Does the last name Dotesman (with an umlaut on the o), Dedesman, Duitsman,
etc fit into anybody's research or database.
More specifically, I am looking for a person, first name Philip, who
probably lived from around the 1750s to about 1820 in Haycock Twp (or
Bedminster). He married Maria Elizabeth Ahlum (1758-1849) whose death is
noted in the Tohickon Union Church records.
They had at least four children: Maria Margaret (1786- ?), John (1788- ?),
Catharine (1791 - ? ), and John Jabob (1799---?).

THE DEATH LIST
Ella BADMAN, wife of Morris BADMAN, of Klinesville, died on Wednesday, at the
age of twenty years. She is survived by her husband and an infant child. The
funeral will be held today at the St. Paul's Lutheran church. Interment on the
church cemetery.
A still born child, of Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell SMOLL, of Geryville, was buried
on Monday, at the St. Mark's Lutheran church cemetery at Pennsburg.
I wasn't sure if I had the right hospital as everyone always just called it
"Byberry". Growing up in Willow Grove in the 50's & 60's, "Byberry" was known
by all as a place you never wanted to be. Mental disease was never discussed
and anything associated with it was 'hush-hush'. There was also a mental
hospital on Fitzwatertown Road that us kids would never go near. For a history
& overview of "Byberry":

FLOWING SLEEVE CAUSES GIRL TO LOOSE ARM
Miss Mabel HEBREW, aged 18, of Philadelphia, who has been visiting friends at
Brandywine Manor, had her right arm torn in two at the elbow while inspecting
the machinery in the Ferndale ice plant, on Sunday afternoon, with a party of
friends. Her flowing sleeve was caught by a belt which pulled into the
machinery and instantly tore the poor girl's arm in twain. She was
I put Descriptive because I couldn't tell. But did know
that it gives address and directions to the Museum
itself. Thought it might be something people wanted to
see.

Hello Fellow Listers,
I am searching for a SLACK, possibly Henry or Noah
Slack, who leased and ran a ferry at Washington
Crossing sometime between 1790 and 1860. I think it
was Henry Slack because he lived in Amwell Township,
Hunterdon County, and his wife, Rachel (KITCHEN)
SLACK, lived in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. There is a
family story about them meeting on a ferry.
Any info on this SLACK or tips where or how to
research would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks sooooooo much in advance,
Carl

Hi Karen --
I suspect that the Spruance Library of the Bucks Co Hist Soc might have some
of the old county records that these might entail (actually, I think I have
seen the reels, but am not sure).
You could check with them (email, phone) to find out what is in the
inventory, and then feel free to contact me privately with any details, and
I can check this out on one of our frequent visits.

I am in hope that someone can give me some information on the Philadelphia
Hospital For Mental Diseases in 1929-30's. Philadelphia city 35th ward. Did this
mean just mental illnesses. Where it was located. And if any information on
the hospital it's self can be found.
Also if there would be any patient records located anywhere.
Also if anyone would know if that is where patients stayed thru out their
illness or where they moved else where.
Thanks a bunch Suzi in Fla.
Explored the 1880 census and found a John Nelson age 71, widowed, shoemaker
listed among the residents of a Poor Home/ Farm located at Doylestown,
Bucks Co., PA. Would there be records of this place housed somewhere today?

so. If you have sent an email change, website, or
a surname to be add to the surname pages you
might want to resent them again to me at
