09/06/99

Wow, there have been a lot of updates lately! We have a new look for the Settler pages. Plus, we have two new Settler Pages. Namely, Setters IX and Settlers X.

I've updated the copyright info page with a note from Bob and a special thank you to the kind soul and former Sullivan County Coordinator, Sheila.

There are now bio's on both Bob and myself on the About Us page.

A lot more needs to be done, and we're both ready for the challenge!

08/16/99

Bob's submitted another Settler's page, entitled "The Descendants of Patrick MacDonald and Catherine Burns". It's up with pictures!

I'm checking the page to see if I have all the required "elements" that a GenWeb page should have. If you see something amiss, please bring it to my attention. You can e-mail me at richwere@bellatlantic.net, of course.

I am in the midst of giving the Settlers Page's a face lift. Settlers Page I is now redone. And, I'm working on Settler's Page II. I will get the original scans of the pictures up soon. That way, you can see the pictures in better detail.

I'm going to upload a big list of obituaries, although I have no source. I assume it's from a newspaper of the time. It seems to cover more than just Sullivan County. I'll have to ask Bob.

As soon as I get some more information in the mail, I will be putting up a page devoted to the Sullivan County Historical Society. Namely, hours of operation, the facilities, the people, etc.

Things to do:
1.) Re-do the Settler's Pages.
2.) The same with The Sullivan Review section.
3.) Upload the image gallery. We have some great pictures and more to come!
4.) Again, I still have to find some time to update the About Us section. Complete with Bio's on Bob and I. Just in case you were wondering who we were!

08/15/99

The page is coming along nicely. The "front page" is almost complete. Still checking on cross browser functionality, especially with the drop down hierarcial menu. There's no reason why it would have a problem with Netscape 4.x, but my version doesn't seem to like it or the javascript Search feature on the Search page. I borrowed the Search from one of my other pages, where it worked great with both MSIE 3.0 and Netscape 3.0. Argh!

Completed Sections:
1.) The Settlers (going to reformat them at a later date).
2.) The Sullivan Review (Again, will probably get a facelift later).
3.) About Us (Will be completed as soon as I have a free moment).

To Do List:
1.) Copyright Info Page/Contributors
2.) HTMLize what seems to be a long Obituary List. There's no "source".
3.) HTMLize an outline for the Farrell family -- seems to belong to The Settlers.
4.) Put the finishing touches on "Settlers Page VIII" -- need one photo resent.
5.) A whole bunch of other misc stuff........


Airmail Stamp
May 19, 1938
The envelope is postmarked on the front. The back reads: "BUY US SAVINGS BONDS--Ask Your Postmaster". The cost ws six dollars. The bottom of the letter is printed with: "Special Air Mail Flight May 19, 1838", The funny thing about this mailing is that it is being sent airmail from Wyalusing to Dushore, PA, not more than 25 miles by car. Why? The letter is addressed to Mrs W. S. Smiley, Dushore, PA in care of the Hotel Finan. It was mailed from Wyalusing Rocks. Our contributor suspects this was something that the Keeler family might have been doing for some sort of promotion. The Keelers flew everywhere and owned the Wyalusing newspaper at the time.
