A new program called "The Memory Hour" is being tried at the Farm Museum,
Alparon Park, Troy. Each meeting, held on the third Wednesday of the month
at 10:30AM, will involve showing of the video of 1938 through 1941 of Old
Towne Troy, narrated by the late Marshall Case and assisted by the late
Gerald Warner. Following that, an appropriate topic will be presented,
historic in nature, by George Yearick. The first one will be a life history
of Dr. Campbell, the "horse and buggy doctor" from East Smithfield. His
actual medical equipment is on display at the museum. Each month
they will discuss something different. |

Here is a PICO Search Engine for you to
use. This is the ONLY search engine that can reliably pick up information
from
my four inter-linked site directories. This starts at the main page of
the site and indexes the 15,260 pages in the ~srgp, ~patioga, ~pabradfo,
and ~nychemun directories as of Dec 2006. Pages added to the site
since then will not be included until next time I reindex.. .

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.
