THANKS FOR HELPING
Quite a few members and former members turned out twice this summer to help read the markers at Forest Hill Cemetery, Napoleon, OH. All the cemeteries in the county have been read now and Phyllis is up to date with the typing. This has been a big project and we thank everyone who has helped. Special thanks go to Phyllis LaRue and Lucille Van Scoyoc who have spent many, many hours in cemeteries the last few years. P. S. They have just found another private cemetery and we will publish the information in a future issue. The family was Baughman or Bachman.
HELP! HELP!
We have been unable to fill our slate of officers for the October election. There are not very many local members, so if you can help, please let us know!! We need a president and vice president.

ASK A QUESTION…
In the July-August Newsletter I asked if anyone knew the status of the project to computerize the names of the millions of immigrants who came through Ellis Island, New York, NY. Member Cliff Mawer was the one who gave us the original information and he also came up with the answer to the update question. Thanks, Cliff!
“From the NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE:
Question: I have heard that there is a computer at Ellis Island where one can enter the name of an immigrant and find out when that person arrived in the United States. Is this true?
Answer: There are plans to enter into a computer the records of all 12 million immigrants who passed through Ellis Island and make the information available at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, (212) 363-7620. However, that project is years away, and needs much more funding, according to the National Park Service. There are computers at the museum that contain the names on the Wall of Honor in front of the museum, and their location on it. These names were put on the wall to honor families that contributed at least $100 to the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation (the donors’ names are in the computer, too.)
In the summer, Circle Line ferries leave Battery Park at the southern end of Manhattan every half hour between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (most stop at the Statue of Liberty first); the trip takes 30 minutes. Ferries also travel on the same schedule from Liberty State Park in New Jersey. The round-trip fare includes entrance to the museum: $6, $3 for those aged 3 to 17, and $5 for those 62 and older.”

A BIG APOLOGY. .
If you have ever helped compile a book for a genealogical society, you know that every precaution is taken to insure that correct and complete information is included. Well, I goofed, and I apologize.
Six pages of THE NAPOLEON TOWNSHIP CEMETERY BOOK are missing from the index. If you have purchased one of these books, please write to us (at the address on the front page) and we will send you a supplement to the index which will include these pages. They are from the GLENWOOD CEMETERY only. This supplement will be inserted into all future books.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I thought I had a fool-proof system of cross-checking to see that this couldn’t happen.
GERMAN ROOTS WORKSHOP AT PEMBERVILLE

BAD NEWS FOR GENEALOGISTS
The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that government agencies and other organizations do not have to make public records available by mail. The decision could cut off access to records by anyone unable to seek the information in person.
The decision stemmed from a 1989 case in which genealogist Ann Fenley objected to fees charged by the Ohio Historical Society for mailing copies of documents she wanted. The cost was $7 for documents sent by mail while the same material was available in person for 25 cents. The court said state law requires only that the material be made available for inspection during business hours and that copies be provided at cost.
CIVIL WAR DISCHARGE RECORDS
We continue our listing of Civil War Discharge Records. These records were taken from Vol. 1 Soldier’s Discharge Records at the Recorder’s Office, Henry County Court House. The initials OVI refer to Ohio Volunteer Infantry; OVVI refers to Ohio Veterans Volunteer Infantry. Some additional information may appear in the courthouse records such as who the company commander was and where the soldier was discharged.
In the attestations accompanying the records it is not always clear whether the soldier resides in a town or township; for example, Napoleon. When two spellings are given for a name one usually occurred in the index and ttir~ other in the record itself. Question marks indicate that it was not possible to read the handwriting. Records copied by Karen Sunderman.

MORE CIVIL WAR INFORMATION
The following was taken from the ARCHIVAL CHRONICLE, Dec. 1989, Vol. 8, Number 3, The Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio and written by Victor Wagher.
“County officials have kept records regarding the military service of residents at various times. The Civil War and its aftermath are especially well documented. A wealth of information about how the war affected servicemen, their families, and the general public can be found throughout such records.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Manumissions, or emancipations from slavery, contain copies of manumission deeds, showing the age, occupation, and physical description of the freed person, as well as the state, county, date deed issued, and former owner.
COUNTY AUDITOR. Civil War Bounties contain a list of volunteers, company and date of enlistment, age, names of dependents, sworn statements, and abstract of county payments. Such bounties were paid to encourage enlistment. Commutation Records concern those men drafted into the Army who chose to pay substitutes to serve for them. They contain a list of conscripts, place of residence, and amount of commutation paid. Enumeration of Soldiers and Sailors contain names of veterans, their branch of service, company, regiment, battery, vessel, rank, and address. Exemptions from Military Service include affidavits from physicians relative to the condition of men drafted for service, name of draftees, and reason for exemptions. Militia Rolls list names of males subject to the draft. The list included all male residents, their ages, and place of residence.
COUNTY RECORDER. Soldier’s Discharge Records contain honorable discharges from service showing name and address of soldier, rank, date of birth, and last duty assignment. These records may also contain transcripts of Squirrel Hunters’ Discharges. (This was the nickname given to the men who answered the call to defend the city of Cincinnati in 1862.) Soldiers’ Grave Records include the soldier’s name, branch of service, birth and death dates, and place of burial.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Indigent Soldier Burial Records contain reports of the burial of indigent veterans showing decedent, company, regiment, and branch of service, date of death and burial, undertaker, place of burial, and date payment approved. These records may also be found in the County Auditor’s office.
The SOLDIER’ RELIEF COMMISSION (now Veterans’ Assistance) was created in 1886 to provide for the relief of indigent servicemen and the indigent widows and children of deceased veterans. Records such as Burial and Headstone Applications, Burial Records, Grave Marker Records, Minutes, and other relief records may be found in this office. Relief records prior to the creation of the commission may be found at the Township Trustees or City Council Office.
Those who are researching the children of Civil War casualties may examine the records of the COUNTY CHILDREN’S HOME (now Children’s Services Board). In 1866 the Ohio General Assembly, in response to a dramatic increase of homeless children following the Civil War, authorized boards of county commissioners to construct orphans’ asylums or other facilities and to levy taxes to pay for them. Children’s Homes accepted children who were orphaned, abandoned, neglected, inadequately provided for by the parents, or placed in the home by the juvenile court. Admittance Records and Registers, Case Files, and Minutes are just a few of the many valuable records.
FARMERS’ DIRECTORY – DESHLER
Shirley Lufts gave us a copy of the Deshler section of the FARMERS’ DIRECTORY of 1916. The directory gives the name, wife’s name if married, number of children, occupation, street of residence, tells if the person was a boarder, tells if the person had a Bell telephone, tells if the person owns a house and lot or is a tenant, and lists number of cattle and horses the person owns. In this listing only information pertinent to genealogy will be given.
