Alex W Magocsi replied to Pamela Carter's discussion 'Return of bodies to Maine' in the group Civil War Ancestors"Pam,
It is interesting to note that the Chalmette burial is a record of Simeon's second interment as he was originally buried in the Cypress Grove Cemetery.
To find the answer you desire, it may be worth some research through the cemetery…"

Pamela Carter replied to Pamela Carter's discussion 'Help Needed Deciphering Cause of Death'"I did some reading about Pott's disease and it sounded very painful!

Pamela Carter commented on Pamela Carter's blog post 'Mammoth Mart'"Yes, all those places were favorites of ours too. I also remembered that we often stopped at the Rumford Animal Farm on those trips to the Mammoth Mart. I think I bought a lot of 45s at the Globe. "
Troy Jordan commented on Pamela Carter's blog post 'Mammoth Mart'"HAHA Love it Pam. I remember that one too! Woolworths & LaVerdiere's in South Paris, Newberry's in Norway and the Globe in Gorham were my other favorites. Loved to scan the Globe for my Agatha Christie paperbacks!"

A Wall of Fire
I'm sure you've heard the term "brick wall" in genealogy. Well, I have a "fire wall." I am trying to find the parents of Elizabeth "Betsy" Clark born 9 Oct 1758 in Falmouth (Portland) and died 23 Feb 1839 in Minot (Auburn), according to records in Woodstock, Maine. Betsy married Lazarus Rand just about time that the Revolutionary War broke out. She was recovering from the very difficult birth of their first child, James, when Lazarus sailed on the Bagaduce Expedition (more on that in…

Sorry, no luck tracking down "Grammy Philbrick."
Since you mentioned the possible name "Lizzie," I did wonder about the aunt Lizzie Merrill who was living with the Cottons in 1900. She was Elizabeth (Cox) Merrill, a sister of Christiana (Cox) Cotton, born March 1822 in Auburn, died 5 Apr. 1906 in South Paris. But I couldn't find any record of her having married a Philbrick, and she died before Ray and Annie Cotton's children were born.

Hi Cousin!
I have some files and images I can send you if you don't have them. Do you have Asa's Civil War Pension File? I've been posting the transcriptions to my blog West in New England. I can send you that if you want. Do you attend the Ellingwood Family Reunion? I'll be there this year,

Ann (Micklon) Thomas said… - Hello Pam! Welcome to this site. I recognized your grandparents in these photos, I remember them to be some of the nicest people I have ever met. I am Yvonne Micklon's daughter, our parents dated awhile back and are still good friends. I think that I am Lorna's age, if I remember correctly, anyway, good luck with your searches. The people on this site are very helpful and will do what they can, for you. I don't think that we're in the same groups but I'll still keep my eyes and ears open to your queries. I would love to see some more of your family photos... Good luck to you and your searches!!
