Thank you Joyce. I have to admit I "stumbled' accross your wonderful
site quite by accident. I knew my mother Mary Louise Rugaber (married
Chaize) was born in Westfield. She taught at the local High School
after
graduation from Normal school in Mansfield. A couple of her students
were older than my mother. She had at least four brothers and a sister.
One, Arthur had a furniture store in Westfield for many years.Another,
Charles, was personal secretary to at least two Pennsylvania Governors.
I was surprised to find my grandfather, J F Rugaber, had published
the
local newspaper in the late 1890's. Thank you so much for refreshing
my
memory of the beautiful Cowanesque Valley

Museum to Host Women’s History
Lecture Series
The Chemung Valley History Museum announces its 2008 March Into History
Lecture Series. In conjunction with the museum’s latest exhibition,
At Home and At War: Chemung County in World War II, this year’s lecture
series will focus on women and World War II.
The series begins on Thursday, March 6 with Women in Aviation.
Learn about World War II female aviators from Wings of Eagles’ curator,
Ed Flesch, as he discusses WASPs (Women’s Airforce Service Pilots).
Women’s Land Army: Agricultural Soldiers of World War II is the second
program on Thursday, March 13. It is well known that women on
the home front aided the war effort through industrial labor. Yet
little is known about the contributions made by rural women. Come
and hear about the Women’s Land Army, as Molly Jessup of Syracuse University
discusses how women helped agriculture thrive during the war.
The third program on Thursday, March 20 is Constructing Rosie the
Riveter: World War II, Women, and Propaganda. By 1942 the labor supply
could not keep up with war time production and there was widespread belief
that only the employment of women could meet the labor demand.
Using period images, Vivian Bruce Conger, Assistant Professor of History
at Ithaca College, will analyze the U.S. government’s campaign to entice
women into the workforce.
The series concludes on Thursday, March 27 with Dirt in Their Skirts.
If you believe baseball is only for boys, think again! Join James Yasko
from the Baseball Hall of Fame, as he traces the history of women in baseball
from the 19th Century to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League
of the 1940s.
Each one hour program begins at 7pm and is free and open to the public.
Please plan to join us every Thursday night in March! For more information
contact: 734-4167 or email cchs@chemungvalleymuseum.org or visit our website:

In commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of Robert E. Peary’s discovery
of the North Pole, CVHM is hosting the traveling exhibit Across the Polar
Sea: With Robert E. Peary on the North Pole Expedition from March 18 to
April 28. To accompany the exhibit the museum will present
Let’s Explore the Arctic on Saturday, March 29. By trying on a blubber
glove, creating a pocket journal and other hands-on activities participants
will discover what life was like for Arctic explorers. Participants will
also get a special tour of Across the Polar Sea. The one hour program

Explore the Arctic will also be presented on Thursday, April 17.

Finding Ancestral Devils in the Details
James Beidler, Leesport - Writer/Editor & Genealogist
Using documents that span more than 300 years, today's family historians
are discovering greater detail about our ancestors than ever before.
Researchers are rethinking how they use records and are expanding their
searches to whole families and communities. James Beidler will show
how today's genealogists find more than just names and dates when compiling
a family tree. A PowerPoint display will outline the types of approaches
used and includes case studies advocating the wider approach of community-based
genealogy.. |

Here is a PICO Search Engine for you
to use. This is the ONLY search engine that can reliably pick up information
from
my several inter-linked site directories and that also separately indexes
the
partitions to the various sections of the site to help you narrow your
search. This starts at the main page of the site and indexes the 16,000
pages at joycetice.com as well as the very few left on rootsweb in the
~srgp, ~patioga, ~pabradfo, and ~nychemun accounts.
SEARCH at Tri-Counties
Many Thanks to the site guests who have chipped in to cover
the costs of this search engiine. We will start our 2007 contract with
search capacity of 16, 000 pages and increase in increments of 1000 as
the year and added pages progress. Your donations are needed to cover this
cost which is now well over $1300 per year. I can't do it FOR YOU without
your help. Donor

See Also PARTITIONED search engine to search just sections
of the site. -- Below
Use the Drop Down Windowto
search selected areas of site for Obituaries and other slected information
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 cemeteries
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.
Here is an IMPORTANT tip - If you use a DATE restriction
in your search, be aware that refers to the date I last changed a particular
page - It is a file date, NOT a date for an event.
This PARTITIONED Search engine HERE is
your most valuable tool for getting maximum results from this Tri-Counties
Site.

I do not have control over when it is reindexed, so it may be
days behind any changes or additions.

SRAC Receives 2nd Large Donation from the Safford
Family
Bernard Safford and his wife Mary walked the river flats as many have
in our area in search of Native Indian artifacts since childhood. As a
result, their family home was a museum in itself when he passed away a
few years ago.
In 2006, his daughter Nancy Arcesi made a call to the Susquehanna
River Archaeological Center (SRAC) and asked them to preserve Bernard's
collection and to use it to educate the children in our communities, and
that is what they've done. Since then Bernard's collection has been displayed
in local elementary schools and at events from as far away as Binghamton
to Corning, NY.
On February 4th, SRAC received yet another generous gift from the Safford
family; a check for $5,000.
The money will be partially used for ongoing renovations to SRAC's new
building, located at 345 Broad Street in Waverly, NY; and it has come at
a time when the funding was needed in order for SRAC to be able to open
its doors by mid-March as planned.
When asked about the latest gift from the Safford family, SRAC's executive
director Deb Twigg stated, "We at SRAC consider ourselves stewards
of our region's archaeological evidence; and for that reason, the fact
that the Safford family entrusted us with their family's collection over
a year and a half ago and continue to express their happiness with our
organization and how we are doing things is quite a powerful statement
for us."
