NELSON posted by Walter Jankowski on Monday, February 1, 1999

N. A. NELSON Studio in KERSEY I have picture of granparents that shows the name of N. A. Nelson as the studio from Kersey, PA. that took the picture. Was there such a studio there in Kersey, Elk County? Probably between 1885 and 1895. They came to Pa in about 1885 and are buried in Mercer County in 1896. They have a lot Mercer and Venango County ties. This is the only evidence that they were in Elk County if the location of the studio is correct.

KENNEDY, LAWSON posted by Nancy Rudolph on Monday, February 1, 1999

I would like your help in researching my great grandparents, Martin LAWSON and Anna KENNEDY LAWSON. I learned from her obitutuary notice 9/3/1922 in the Erie Times New that she was to be buried in Wardell (Wardett?)Cemetery in Johnsonburg. I've been unable to locate this cemetery through the I-net,but do remember going to a cemetery in Johnsonburg to "fix the graves" with my grandparents. They were Catholic and I have a strong suspicion her maiden name was Kennedy. I'd like to know where to write for birth/death certificates in Johnsonburg and if such a cemetery exists? Thank you very much.

FOX, GALUSHA posted by Cathy Lipscomb on Monday, February 15, 1999

I am currently doing research on my GGrandmother Catherine Priscilla FOX. She married Albert Ebward GALUSHA on Dec 25, 1899 in either Brookville PA or Corsica PA, But I was told that it was in Elk County. Catherine was the daughter of Henry and Margaret FOX. I don't have their birthdays and I don't have her mothers maiden name. I read through the 1850 census for Fox township and there was an Amos FOX. Catherine and Albert had a son called Amos. Albert was born on July 11, 1876 in Sugar Hill PA, and Catherine was born on Oct 22 1880. I am trying to find a Henry's parents and where he lived. I am also looking for the GALUSHA's. Albert's father's name was Franklin Pierce Galusha. My mother told me that my GGrandfather would walk 8 miles from the town he lived in to the town she lived in to court her. Catherine worked as an upstairs maid for a wealthly Doctor. Their first 4 children were born there before they left the area to go to West Virginia. If any of these names ring a bell I would appreciate a return note. THanks for your help! Cathy Lipscomb
