Monday October 13th [Pennsylvania Genealogy Trip]
June and I picked up Marilyn at her home in York New Salem. Met Jim -her tree man husband- and then into York. About 10 blocks in town center is an historic district and deserves it. Pure 18th century. People at York Historical Society Library very helpful and soon found that John Baker probably married Catherine Mummert. Not Mummery as we thought. Couldn’t find any marriage record but copied Mummert info in case we hook up. Lunch in York and drove past blocks of row houses Circa 1750, 1780, 1800, 1850, 1900. Very interesting town. Back home to put roast in oven and June and I headed for Hanover to visit Hanover Historical Society. Nease House which was furnished by antique dealers. Different one in each room. All 18th Century Furniture and prices high. Coffee grinder $95- brass Kettle $75- both like mine. Then to Abbottstown North toward East Berlin. Left on Mummert’s Church Road and Cemetery which was full of Bakers and Mummerts 18th and 19th century. Marylin and family to Ulle’s for dinner. Jim has ideas on carbon dioxide on trees to make healthy. Didn’t know it was already being done.
