The summer meeting schedule went very well and our monthly meetings were a success. The meetings were informal and made it more a social affair.
The year is coming to an end and gets to be a busy time. We will start in November decorating for the Christmas season. This is year-end and time to elect new officers for the next two years.
I would like to encourage any members who have suggestions for improvements at Nichols Library to make them known to any of the Officers or Board Members. We have made a great many improvements in the last few years and would like to continue the trend. We want the library to be an asset not only for the genealogical society but to the community and city. A place we can all be proud to call ours.
Thanks to all the members who volunteer their time to make Nichols Library a great and wonderful place to research. We are open each Thursday from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM and by appointment. The second Thursday of each month we remain open until 8:00 PM If you know of any groups or clubs that would like a program or classes on genealogy, please contact us.

At this time several members of Northeast Alabama Genealogical Society are working on cemetery projects. We hope to identify as many people buried in Etowah County as possible.
Most of us have ancestors, family members and friends buried in Etowah County, some in unmarked graves. We are concentrating on the older, church cemeteries at this time. The cemeteries we're working on now are McCauley's Chapel, Fairview Baptist Church, Young's Chapel, Tillison (know as Tillison Burger) and Moody's Chapel in Etowah County, close to the Blount County line. We will won\ on others as these are completed. Nancy Lowom has completed a Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery book, which is now for sale. We will be gathering information for future use on any cemetery in Etowah County, so send any information now.
If you have information to share on any cemetery, please send it to us by email at neaaslibdcD.comcastnet please put cemetery information in the subject line. You may also send the infonnation by mail to Cemetery Infonnation, NEAGS, P. O. Box 8268, Gadsden, AL 35902. Help us identify as many of those buried in unmanned graves as possible. Everyone should be remembered. We would also like to know about those people who might have died in the influenza epidemic in 1917-1918. We will be including any infonnation we can find on each person buried in these cemeteries, so send us what you would want to share. In many cases we have included spouses, parents and children. We've included census and military infonnation when we find it.

MAN BURIED CROSSWAYS IN OLD HARMONY CEMETERY
JEFF WOFFORD, born In 1885 and died in 1905 is buried in Old Harmony Cemetery behind Old Harmony Baptist Church, in Rainbow City, Etowah Co., AL. The cemetery is on Rainbow Drive south of the City Hall. What has been passed down is that this Mr. Wofford was always cross with everybody and when he died he wanted to buried crossways of the world, the tradition then was to be buried East to West but, he wanted to be buried North to South. The place he wanted to be buried was in Johnny Jones Sweet "Tater" Patch, since this could not be, he was buried in the Old Harmony Cemetery. There is a marker to his grave. 7 Volume 48 Northeast Alabama Settlers Number 3

EARLY C OF C MEMBERS WERE CIVIC MINDED If Memory Serves Article by: Will I. Martin Written December 16, 1946
Back in October 1901, the Gadsden Commercial Club, which later developed into the Chamber of Commerce, held a regular weekly meeting which was typical of the organization's efforts to boost this city. Capt. W.P. Lay was president and A.T. Stocks was secretary and both were hustlers and neither ever lost an opportunity to work for Gadsden. It is recalled that this club had something of interest to the public at every session. At this particular meeting, Secretary Stocks reported that he had sent 18,000 folders to the Buffalo Exposition, advertising Gadsden and its manifold resources. He also urged the need for more houses, saying that he could rent 25 right away. Others said that about that many were needed for the employees of the Mecklan Wagon Factory about to be built in Owl Valley. The members also discussed possible aid in securing a right - of-way for the Southern Railroad to the wagon plant. Captain Lay suggested that the club sponsor a plan to improve the park in the rear of the courthouse. Capt. J.M. Elliott reported that a spur tract into Greasy Cove and on to Altoona and the coal fields in that section. One of the high officials of the Southern was a partner of Captain Elliott in the Elliott-Chapman Coal Company. Captain Elliott stated that Gadsden had "been asleep for many years" and that it should wake up. Captain Lay said that the club was at work on a plan to induce the Southern Railway to extend the Rome and Decatur division to Decatur from Attalla. Captain Elliott said that Gadsden was now awake and its Commercial Civic Club was attracting wide attention for its good work. He said that the Elliott Car Works, which had been idled for some time, would blow its whistle the next day and that the plant would resume operations. He expressed hope that the whistle which had summoned men to work at the car plant for 14 years. He recalled tat when he was a boy about 19 years old that same whistle called him to labor on the steamboat "Magnolia," the largest and finest ever to ply the Coosa River. Later, while he was still a youth, he was made captain, a job he held for several years. It was while in command of the craft that he was charged with piracy because he halted another boat and forcibly removed its cargo. He was found not guilty in the United States Courts. When he quit the steamboat business he took the whistle along with him. His son, Harvey, inherited it and it is now on a sawmill in the county~but stilled owned by Harvey. The latter also owns the bell that was used on the "Magnolia." Captain Elliott said that he took the whistle to Texas and used it at a large sawmill he owned and operated in the Lone Star State. Later it was brought back and placed at the car works. It had a record of never "sounding over an industry that was not successful," Captain Elliott boasted. He suggested that the Gadsden Lake & Improvement Company, which owned much land in the city and which was practically bankrupt, be bought by citizens and some hand held in reserve for industrial sites. A few years later the Schulers bought this great property when they established their steel mill here.

MY FAVORITE ANCESTOR JOHN CALVTN STOVALL 22 December - 2 June 1899 Reprinted from 2009 Ancestors Swap Meet Book
Recently I had a conversation with someone about genealogy. He said he had an aunt who did family history for a while. He then told me the aunt quit when she found several unsavory characters in her ancestry. I guess some researchers do give up when they find out their ancestor was the guest of honor at a public gathering on the day he died tragically when the floor he was standing on collapsed. (Not my original though, it came from a forwarded email, but it applies to those who give up.) We all have skeletons in our closet, they helped to make us who we are, so don't quit when you find that scoundrel, just take them out and make them dance. I'm going to open that door and let my ancestor John Calvin Stovall dance for you.
A little background on my genealogy, growing up as a Jones kid, I knew that Jones was all too common and certainly Jackson Jones would be hard to find. So I decided that I would research my mom's Stovall family. My grandfather was Robert Marion Stovall, so far so good. The Social Security application I ordered, gave me bis father's name John Calvin Stovall and his mother as Nannie Reed. Further research gave me a family line all the way back to Bartholomew Stovall, an indentured servant, who came to America from England and landed in Virginia. I found a copy of the papers of indenture that he signed on board the ship the "Booth" for his passage. Then the town of Stovall in Granville County, NC, was shown as the home of a gggg grandfather John Stovall. I found a book on the Stovall family that listed my ancestors giving me lots of information; all I had to do was prove my links back to the people in the book. My research buddy "Sandra" and I went to Birmingham Public Library, where I found a Stovall Family Association quarterly. I quickly subscribed to that association and sent a query for publication. I got a reply from a woman in Texas, who told me that John Calvin Stovall had died in Savannah during Sherman's march to the sea when the shoe factory he worked in was burned. Since I was quite sure that didn't happen and being new to genealogy, I wrote the lady a letter saying she was wrong, oops, now I know you don't do that. But I was so sure after all I'm living proof that was true. Jerry Jones told us several times in each of his classes to make sure you prove your ancestry.
By this time I had heard stories about John C. Stovall, a cobbler in Attalla, Alabama who was wounded during the Civil War and only had the use of his right arm. Now all I had to do was prove who he was. Census records, pension records and a possible Family Bible, proving who he was shouldn't be that hard. (Keep in mind how far we've come the last ten years in research records). An Itawaba Mississippi marriage record showed John Calvin Stovall married Mary Lindsey. Hmm, wasn't that the person the woman in Mississippi said was the civil war widow. Okay, so they have 3 children according to the 1860 census. Further research and I find a widow's pension application filed in Texas, where the Stovall family moved after the war. Sure enough, it has Mary Stovall as the widow of John C. Stovall, deceased. The application claims that John C. Stovall was
15 Volume 48 Northeast Alabama Settlers Number 3 wounded at Sharpsburg, MD. The wound left him paralyzed on the left side. This all fits my g grandfather. A search for military records of the 19th. MS Infantry company K completes the picture. After being wounded John was given a medical furlough, when the time came, John still wasn't strong enough to go back. His youngest brother Alfred Stovall substituted for John and joined the 19th. In his place. Alfred was killed a short time later. Due to his limitations John Calvin was sent to Savannah to make shoes for the CSA. Who knows how John got from Savannah to Gadsden, but he did. The 1880 Census show him in Etowah County, with a wife Martha and several children. Now the fun begins, Martha wasn't his wife from Mississippi, and non of the children the same. Hmmm, no marriage record for John and Martha has been found to date, so I only have a death certificate on one of their sons that says Martha was Martha Hammock Stovall. The 1880 census shows that Martha was born in Georgia and John in Alabama. After some research I found a marriage record for John Calvin Stovall and Nannie Reed in Etowah County, Alabama, shortly before the birth date of my grandfather. No further record is found of Martha Hammock Stovall, except the birth of another child in early 1880's. I know we aren't suppose to assume anything but all the information from family researchers indicates that Martha must have died in childbirth. Not that it matters John was still a bigamist.
A search of CSA pension records turns up an application filed in Etowah County, Alabama by John Calvin Stovall himself. He gives his service in the 19th Mississippi Infantry, Company K. The information he gives is the same as the information given by his first wife Mary in Texas, where she is drawing a widow's pension. Communication between states was almost non-existent so John draws a pension also but his is from the State of Alabama. This pension continued to be drawn by my great grandmother Nannie Reed Stovall after John's death in 1899 and until her death in 19??.
To make the story a little more interesting, I visited my grandfather's distant family from the Noccalula Mountain area with him several times. I also went to school with other kids, who said I was "kin" to them. Then I started working with a lady who was a Stovall before she married. We laughed about the chance that we were related, but until I did this research, I didn't know we really were. As it turned out the relatives we visited were my grandfather's half brothers and sisters. The kids in school were my 3rd and 4th cousins. The woman at work and I shared the same ancestors also, John C. Stovall was her gg grandfather and my g grandfather.
John Ancestry in the United States is as follows: Bartholomew Stovall came to Virginia as an indentured servant, John Stovall of NC was a Revolutionary War Patriot, Josiah Stovall of Georgia was also a Revolutionary War Patriot, David Stovall of Georgia, David Stovall of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi then John C. Stovall.
Now you know why he the scoundrel and one of skeletons in my closet.

16 Volume 48 Northeast Alabama Settlers Number 3 SANSOM FAMILY CEMETERY Copied from book By: W.A. Lewis Little Known Burial Sites and Cemeteries Etowah County, Alabama
This cemetery is located in the median of Meighan Blvd. (Highway 431) in Gadsden, Alabama, about 2-3 blocks west of Black Creek.
Mrs. Wayne (Mildred) Hodge of Gadsden, AL is a Sansom descendant and in 1981 published a book, "Scrap Book of Heald and Allied Families". A short paragraph in that book reads, "In correspondence with our cousin Mattie Barrett of Jacksonville, Florida, grand-daughter of Samuel Heald (brother of my grandfather, James Henry Heald). She wrote that her mother's two brothers, Albert Heald, born 4 June 1870 and died 5 September 1893 and Jack Allen Heald, born 2 September 1871 and died 15 September 1873, were buried in Sansom Cemetery. This would identify six people as being buried in the cemetery.
Aunt Fanny (Lizzie) no last name and no dates A black mammy, who came with the Sansom family from Georgia. No marker, it was said that she nursed Micajah when he was a baby and cared for each of his 12 children.
Mattie Forrest Johnson - Born 15 July 1866 died 9 October 1871 She was the oldest daughter of Emma Johnson and Christopher Ballard Johnson. She was named for General Nathan Forrest who was guided to a crossing of Black Creek by 15 year old Emma Sansom.
Micajah Sansom - Born 22 February 1799 died 24 December 1859 Born in Rutherford County, Tennessee, Died in Cherokee County, Alabama.
Pvt. Robert Turner boni 1843 died 2 May 1863 Killed at Black Creek Co. A 4th. Tennessee Cavalry CSA. Also on his marker. "Praised by Forrest Mourned by Emma Honored by us all.
The ones of us that live in Gadsden, pass this little cemetery daily. The Historical Society many years ago put up a marker for this cemetery.
A special thanks for Mr. W.A. for his many hours he spent and is still spending searching for unknown graves in our area. RAIN OR SHINE

TABLE FOR COMPUTING BIRTH DATE When death date and age in year, months and days in given
Day of Month of Death: INSTRUCTIONS Death
15 Step 1 - Find the DAY of death in the LEFT column. January 16 Treating this day as 0, the day before as 1, the February 17 day before that as 2, etc., count up the March 18 column the number of days of life given. April 19 If you reach the top of the column before May 20 you finished counting, continue at the June 21 bottom of the column. If the month preceding July 22 That of death has less than 31 days, be sure to August 23 skip the unneeded days in the column. This is September 24 the day of birth. October 25 Step 2- Find the MONTH of death in the LOWER November 26 month column at right. If you went past the December 27 1st while counting days go back one month. Just January 28 As with days, count this month as 0 and count UP February (29) the column the number of months of life. This March (30) gives the month of birth. April (31) Step 3 - Take the YEAR of death. If you went past May 1 January while counting months, subtract 1 June 2 from the year of death. Now subtract the July 3 number of years of life from the year you have August 4 To get the year of birth. 5 6 *LEAP YEARS: Any year evenly divisible by 4, except the century 7 century years, unless they are divisible by 400 (1600) 8 is a leap year, and February has 29 days. 'Thirty days 9 hath September, April, June and November" 10 the rest have 31. 11 12 13 14
EXAMPLE: Subject died 31 December 1852, age 27 years, 1 month, 16 days.
Step 1 - Starting with 31, treat this day as 0 and count back 15, which indicates 15. Step 2 - We did not go past the 1st, so starting with December, count up 1 month to November. Step 3 - We did not go past January, so subtract 27 from 1862 to get 1835. The subject was bom November 15, 1835.
Check your computations by starting with the birthday and counting forward.
18 Volume 48 Northeast Alabama Settlers Number 3 Editors Notes on - Around Nichols Library
Apology goes to Nancy Lovvorn I misspelled her maiden name last quarterly it should have been Griffin and not Griffith. Sure don't want anyone to miss out on finding a new cousin because of me misspelling a name.
Been really busy around Nichols since we started back with the Fall meetings. Summer was a fun time at Nichols, lots of good speakers with very little meetings.
I think there are about 10 to 12 working on cemeteries, if you have never done family research on everyone buried in a cemetery, come join us, we are finding this to be great fun. It is so surprising what one will find out about the folks buried in the cemetery. I worked on a baby buried at Fairview Cemetery and just could not figure out why the baby was there and no parents with it. After several phone calls did find the family is buried in Forrest Cemetery. I will be decorating that baby's grave when Decoration Day comes. Broke my heart that it is buried there all alone.
Lots of filing has been done and lots more to file, if you have some extra time, or better yet make some extra time and join us one Thursday and help file. We have over 5000 family files and adding more every week.
Wayne and Gloria Gregg have about finished up the book that Jerry started for us. The History of Old Harmony Church and Cemetery. It will be going to the printer in a few days.
Went to Birmingham and picked up some more of Jerry's books on St. Clair County. These are hardbound books and look really great, beside being full of great information on families from the St. Clair County.
FRUSTRATIONS OF A GENEALOGICAL RESEARCHER
1. Great grandfather's beautiful will left his entire estate to his beloved wife and children, but does not name them. 2. The blot on the census record covers the birthplace of your great grandmother. 3. The county courthouse burned in the county where your family had lived for over one hundred years. 4. Family Bible located two thousand miles away in the home of a disinterested and uncooperative relative. 5. The two-volume 3,000 page history of the county where your ancestor lived is not indexed. 6. You located the cemetery where great grandpa is buried; his tombstone has been vandalized and you cannot read the data. 7. Need to locate great grandparents in the 1890 census. Can't — it was destroyed!!! 8. Brittle newspaper torn and fallen apart on the section you need to verify an event, names and places. 9. After an all-day search in the library for an elusive ancestor, the library closes just as you finally have found his trail. 10. You arise at 5:A.M. to travel 150 miles to research courthouse records in the county where great grandpa lived and died. The courthouse is closed because the Probate Judge had died the day before!!! 19 FIRST SETTLERS OF BAEHE-ETQ WAH COUNTY. ALABAMA

ORPHANGES IN ETOWAH COUNTY, ALABAMA HAND, THOMPSON, PARKER, GILL, WILLIAMSON I have searched for the names of any orphanages that existed in Etowah Co., Alabama in the year of 1900. Unfortunately, I do not live in Etowah Co. and I have no access to the library there. My grandmother was adopted out after her parents dropped the ball on being good parents. I know all about her birth parents and some about her great adoptive parents. I just wanted to know where my grandmother was placed during the adoption process. There may have been more than one orphanage then, who knows? Does any one have knowledge to share on this? My Grandmother was; Ollie Mae Hand. She was bom Oct 12,1894-5. She may have been bom in Sycamore, in Talladega, Alabama. Her adoptive parents were; William A.Thompson and his wife, Mattie C. Parker Thompson. They lived in Jacksonville, Calhoun, Al. My Great Aunt Bertha Mae Hand was bom 1897. She was adopted by her own paternal uncle, Mr. Columbus S. Hand and his wife, Mary Unknown Hand. They lived in Aurora, near Boaz in Marshall Co., AL Bertha's married surname was, Gill. I have one addition to this information. My Grandmother and her sister, had female sibling named, Jossie Hand. She is reported to have died at the age of 1-11/2. She was also left under the bridge that the girls were abandoned at. I do not know if Jossie was adopted out like Ollie Mae and Bertha. This information is from my grandmother. Ollie Mae Hand Thompson and Bertha Mae Hand-Hand were their full maiden names. Thanks for any help with this. Lisa Williamson [email protected]
