Plans were completed the past summer for an extended visit to Pennsylvania, in order to form the acquaintance of our numerous relatives. and to visit the places where great grandfather, Peter Ziegler, and my father lived. A Ziegler family reunion was held in Hasson Park, Oil City, Pennsyl­ vania, August 26, 1933, with more than two hundred present.

  • The Shawnee in Pennsylvania
    Pennsylvania 178 The Shawnee In The Shawnee In Pennsylvania It is not the intention of the author of this brief mono- graph to give a history of the wanderings of the Shawnee previous to their appearance within the Colony of Pennsyl- vania. No single tribe in the history of the United States has had a more varied and interesting pathway of migra- tion. Nor has any single tribe had as important an influ- ence in the conflicts with the white settlements in the region east of the Mississippi river. It seems highly probable that the Shawnee occupied the headwaters of the Ohio previous to the time of their southward migration. Some of the mounds and other earth- works along the upper Ohio and in south-western Pennsyl- vania seem to have been erected by the ancestors of the historic Shawnee. The author, however, willnot at present attempt to cover the history of this most interesting period, but simply to state a few theories and facts as to the relation- ship with other Algonkian tribes and of their early habitat. The Shawnee belong to the group of Algonkian tribes occupying the Atlantic region. According to the tradition of the Walum Olum they were united with the Delaware and the Nanticoke previous to the time of the expulsion of the Cherokee from the North. After this time the tribes separated, the Shawnee going southward, hence the desig- nation Shawnee, or Southerners. When first known, in the historic period, they were occupying the Cumberland basin and the region in South Carolina. The history of the Shawnee commences in 1669-70, when they were occupying the regions in Tennessee and South Carolina.

  • America's Long Road to the Federal Republic of Germany (West) by Robert A
    1945 to 1948: America's Long Road to the Federal Republic of Germany (West) By Robert A. Selig NOV MAY SEP Close 25 35 captures Help 3 Mar 01 - 28 Jun 09 2005 2006 2007 June/July 1998 1945 to 1948: America's Long Road to the Federal Republic of Germany (West) By Robert A. Selig The December 1948 report by General Lucius D. Clay, commanding officer in the American Zone of Occupation in Germany, to U.S. President Harry S. Truman was full of optimism. "I think in looking back on 1948 we can look back on it as a year of material progress, and I think we can take considerable satisfaction in the state of affairs." Clay thought that 1948 had "brought back a real hope for the future among the 40-odd million people" in the American and British zones. This progress and hope, however, had only been possible because by the winter of 1947/48, American policy vis-à-vis Germany had undergone a complete reversal since the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht (Armed Forces) in May 1945. With surrender came the time for retribution. In the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Directive 1067 of April 1945, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was instructed to occupy Germany "not...for the purpose of liberation but as a defeated enemy nation." Allied occupation was to bring "home to the Germans that Germany's ruthless warfare and the fanatical Nazi resistance have destroyed the German economy and made chaos and suffering inevitable and that the Germans cannot escape responsibility for what they have brought upon themselves." In Potsdam in July, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, and Truman set their common goals—the four Ds—for Germany: democratization, denazification, demilitarization, and decartellization (the break-up of trusts and industrial conglomerates).

  • N.Montour Comp Planv2
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The eleven chapters of this comprehensive plan provide a written and graphic description and analysis of current conditions, resources, and capabilities throughout Anthony, Derry, Liberty, Limestone and West Hemlock Townships in Montour County. In addition, the Plan presents future growth policies, recommendations and strategies to address identified concerns and manage the municipalities’ assets for the future. The document’s intent is to provide for future growth in the Planning Area in such a way that will preserve the Area’s rural, agricultural character and quality of life. The Northern Montour Regional Planning Commission, at the direction of the Boards of Supervisors of Anthony, Derry, Liberty, Limestone and West Hemlock Townships, was assigned the primary responsibility for development of the Plan. In June of 1992 a Professional Planning Consultant (Landplan, Inc.) was selected to assist the Planning Commission with the project. Work began in August of that year and has culminated with the development of this document. During the process, a Public Opinion Survey was distributed to all property owners residing in the five Study Area municipalities to solicit their input on various aspects of the Plan. The various elements of the Plan are interrelated from beginning to end. The background chapters (1-9) present and evaluate available resources and land use activities in the Planning Area; the goals (Chapter 10) set forth the municipalities’ desires regarding the type, location, and intensity of future development of the Area; the objective statements (following each goal in Chapter 10) describe the intent or purpose of each goal; and the recommendations (also in Chapter 10) illustrate specific ways in which the goals may be achieved.

'To Marie McKitric'I{ Downes EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION In 1930, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Co-­ operation between the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society and the local historical societies and departments of history in the colleges and universities of the State, a series of publications called Ohio Historical Collections was established. The first volume in this series, Party Politics in Ohio, 1840,1850, by Edgar Allan Holt, was published in 19 31, and the second volume, Chase and Civil War Politics, by Donnal V. Smith, appeared the same year. Due to decreased appropriations it has been impossible, until recently, to issue other volumes, although the material was available and had been accepted by the Editorial Committee. In 1934 the Board of Trustees of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society authorized the discontinuance of the series known as the Publications and approved a policy of issuing the more lengthy and monographic contributions in the Collection series.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

STEREOTYPED BY W. S. HAVEN, PITTSBURGH, PA. iWf MEMOIR. Ebenezer Denny was born in Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, on the 11th of March, 1761. He was the eldest child of William Denny and Agnes Parker. William, and his brother Walter, came to Cumberland from Chester County, in 1745. Walter Denny settled two or three miles south of Carlisle, where he owned a large tract of land, now divided into five farms. He raised a company for the Revolutionary struggle, was killed at the battle of the Crooked Billet ; and his son taken, and kept three months on board a Jersey prison- ship. David Denny, for many years pastor of the Pres- byterian church at Chambersburg, was a son of Walter. William lived in Carlisle. He was the first Coroner west of the Susquehanna, and a Commissary in the war. The mother of Ebenezer Denny, Agnes, was the daughter of John Parker, and grand-daughter of Richard Parker. Richard, as early as 1730, acquired lands on the Cannadaguinnet, three miles west of Carlisle. These lands continued for two or three generations afterward in possession of his descendants.
