The library now has a photocopy card that it uses as cash, you can reload the card with any denomination.  No more lugging around quarters, nickels and dimes.

Exploratory Data Analysis Through 2x-Great Grandparents

It took me longer than I had hoped, but I'm finally done with the initial series of Exploratory Data Analysis posts on my 2x-great grandparents.  Now it will be time to add all of the research to-do items to my list and begin to fill in the blanks.  Once that is completed, I will work on using the same format for my great-aunts and uncles before moving on to my 3x-great grandparents, etc.

I did learn quite a bit about some of the assumptions I had made and the missing facts ("holes") in my database.  After doing this family history gathering for so many years, it was surprising that there were things I didn't have documented about my 2x-great grandparents.  Of course, with my organizational skills, I may discover that I already had the information.

Here are the links to the posts about the exploratory data analysis posts for my 2x-great grandparents:

• Luman Walker LeMASTERS (1842-1931)
• Mary Keziah (CHEW) LeMASTERS (1847-1927)
• William P. WEHRLY (1845-1909)

• George Washington HALEY (1840-1892)
• Mary Jane (SHERRICK) HALEY (1844-1916)
• John Adam METZNER (1840-1895)
• Clara (MOULTON) METZNER (1843-1899)
• John William WRIGHT (1860-1945)
• Ellen (KING) WRIGHT (1868-1913)
• William Francis PIERCE (1865-1950)
• Clara A. (PENISTEN) PIERCE (1869-1906)
• Charles Wilson LAMBERTSON (1872-1958)
• Pearl May (BEALS) LAMBERTSON (1878-1970)

Sentimental Sunday : News and Notes

The Tiger's Tale was our student newspaper at Alexandria-Monroe High School in Alexandria, Indiana.  I came across this story in a copy of the newspaper that I had saved from my school days.  Am planning to donate the copies of the newspaper along with other photographs to the local historical society.

I can remember the computer class at Ball State University, and believe there is a photograph of the whole group somewhere.  At the time, I was promised that completing the course would earn me some college credit.  However, the course never appeared on my college transcripts.

Sentimental Sunday – discuss a sentimental story or memory about an ancestor, or maybe even a family tradition that touches you. This is an ongoing series at GeneaBloggers  and was suggested by Renate Sanders at Into the Light .

Exploratory Data Analysis : William Francis Pierce (1865-1950)

William Francis Pierce (1865-1950) was my maternal 2nd-great grandfather.  What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about him.

1. Vital Records

     1.1. Birth Certificate

               I have not been able to locate any contemporary accounts of William's birth.

          1.1.2. Bible Record

          1.1.3. Baptismal Record

               I am not aware of any baptismal record for William at this time, nor am I aware of the family's church affiliation.  Later in life, they were members of the Methodist church.

               There is no indication that William was adopted.

     1.2. Marriage license

          Their marriage license was the subject of a previous post.

          1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper

               Will need to search out contemporary newspapers to see if mention was made of William's marriages.  Have added this to my research "to-do" list.

          1.2.2. Anniversary notice

     1.3. Death Certificate

          William died September 21, 1950 in Alexandria, Madison County, Indiana¹.  The cause of death listed in his obituary was stroke. I need to obtain a copy of his death certificate from the Madison County Health Department.

          1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper

               William's obituary was published in the September 21, 1950 edition of the Alexandria, Indiana Times-Tribune¹.

               Need to search out other local newspapers to see if his death was also mentioned in their publications.

          1.3.2. Funeral home records

               According to his obituary, the funeral arrangements were handled by the Davis and Strickler funeral home.  Need to search at the local historical society to see if they have any of the records.

          1.3.3. Tombstone photograph

               William's tombstone in the Maplewood Cemetery in Anderson, Indiana has been photographed.

               The tombstone lists him as "William F. 1865-1950".
