NEW PUBLICATIONS!!
Thanks to two of our CTGS members, we are pleased to announce
the publication of one CD and two new books.
CTGS member Larry McNear has prepared a CD of Cemetery
Photographs to Accompany "Your Guide to the Cemeteries of Belmont
County." The CD is easy to use and includes a color photograph of each
of the cemeteries we researched for our book. When our members prepared
a worksheet on a cemetery, they also took a photograph of it. Some of
the cemeteries are in remote areas or on private property, and it is
unlikely that viewers will ever visit them. The CD allows you to see
what the cemetery looks like and its condition. Even if you do not own
the book, you will enjoy viewing the photographs. Over 230 photographs -
$6.00.
CTGS member C. Richard "Mike" Michael has compiled two books
which he has generously donated to CTGS for us to sell.
Mike searched through available records of the Federal Census
Mortality Schedules from 1850 through 1880. All years for all areas were
not available, but what was available has been compiled into
Southeastern Ohio Mortality Schedules. It covers eight counties:
Belmont, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe, Morgan, Noble and
Washington. If your ancestor died in the twelve months preceding the
taking of the census, you may be able to find him or her in this book.
Information varies but may include not only Name, Sex, Age, Color and
Marital Status, but also Place of Birth, Month in Which Death Occurred,
Profession, Occupation or Trade, Disease or Cause of Death, and Parents'
Birthplace! Mike even included a "Glossary of Old Disease Names" and
county maps outlining township locations. 114 pages - $16.00.
Mike also compiled a valuable work titled Belmont County in
World War I to honor over 4,200 Belmont County men and women who served
in that war. It is an alphabetical compilation of veteran information
including: Name, Serial Number, Race, Birth Place, Birth Date,
Enlistment Location, Enlistment Division, Enlistment Date, and Assigns
Comments. He has also included related "Letters and Articles," a
"Wounded in Action" section and a "Died While in Service" section. 367
pages - $31.00.
Also remember that the Ebenezer Zane Chapter, Sons of the
American Revolution (SAR) is allowing CTGS to sell Revolutionary War
Patriots, Volume 4. Several SAR members are also CTGS members and we
value their contributions.
OUR THANKS TO LARRY, MIKE AND THE SAR FELLOWS FOR THEIR
SUPPORT.

long and lists over 1500 names. It is the perfect companion to the

some instances no tombstones remain, but the cemetery has been recorded

Established, Some Common Tombstone Surnames, Condition and Accessibility
of Cemetery, Directions and General Comments. The book also includes
