The Goodlove Reunion 2011 will be held Sunday, June 12 at Horseshoe Falls Lodge at Pinicon Ridge Park, Central City, Iowa. This is the same lodge we used for the previous reunions. Contact Linda at pedersen37@mchsi.com



Birthdays on this date; Reuben W. Shaw, Cyntia L. Meyers, Elsie McKee, Christopher Freeman.



Weddings on this date; Mary Allison and Lawrence J. Harrison.



A word for the day, remind your loved ones to get screened. Today’s “This Day” is a genetic road map as to why you should be proactive in your screening for cancer.



The American Cancer Society recommends these screening guidelines for most adults.

Breast cancer
Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health
Clinical breast exam (CBE) about every 3 years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and over
Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change promptly to their health care provider. Breast self-exam (BSE) is an option for women starting in their 20s.
The American Cancer Society recommends that some women -- because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors -- be screened with MRI in addition to mammograms. (The number of women who fall into this category is small: less than 2% of all the women in the US.) Talk with your doctor about your history and whether you should have additional tests at an earlier age. For more information, call the American Cancer Society and ask for our document, Breast Cancer: Early Detection.

Colorectal cancer and polyps
Beginning at age 50, both men and women should follow one of these testing schedules:

Tests that find polyps and cancer
Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years*, or
Colonoscopy every 10 years, or
Double-contrast barium enema every 5 years*, or
CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years*
Tests that primarily find cancer
Yearly fecal occult blood test (gFOBT)**, or
Yearly fecal immunochemical test (FIT) every year**, or
Stool DNA test (sDNA), interval uncertain**
* If the test is positive, a colonoscopy should be done.

** The multiple stool take-home test should be used. One test done by the doctor in the office is not adequate for testing. A colonoscopy should be done if the test is positive.

The tests that are designed to find both early cancer and polyps are preferred if these tests are available to you and you are willing to have one of these more invasive tests. Talk to your doctor about which test is best for you.

The American Cancer Society recommends that some people be screened using a different schedule because of their personal history or family history. Talk with your doctor about your history and what colorectal cancer screening schedule is best for you. For more information on colorectal cancer screening, please call the American Cancer Society and ask for our document, Colorectal Cancer: Early Detection.

Cervical cancer
All women should begin cervical cancer screening about 3 years after they begin having vaginal intercourse, but no later than 21 years old. Screening should be done every year with the regular Pap test or every 2 years using the newer liquid-based Pap test.
Beginning at age 30, women who have had 3 normal Pap test results in a row may get screened every 2 to 3 years. Women older than 30 may also get screened every 3 years with either the conventional or liquid-based Pap test, plus the human papilloma virus (HPV) test.
Women 70 years of age or older who have had 3 or more normal Pap tests in a row and no abnormal Pap test results in the last 10 years may choose to stop having Pap tests.
Women who have had a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix) may also choose to stop having Pap tests, unless the surgery was done as a treatment for cervical cancer or pre-cancer. Women who have had a hysterectomy without removal of the cervix should continue to have Pap tests.
Some women -- because of their history -- may need to have a different screening schedule for cervical cancer. Please see our document, Cervical Cancer: Prevention and Early Detection for more information.

Endometrial (uterine) cancer
The American Cancer Society recommends that at the time of menopause, all women should be informed about the risks and symptoms of endometrial cancer. Women should report any unexpected bleeding or spotting to their doctors.

Some women -- because of their history -- may need to consider having a yearly endometrial biopsy. Please talk with your doctor about your history.

Prostate cancer
The American Cancer Society recommends that men make an informed decision with their doctor about whether to be tested for prostate cancer. Research has not yet proven that the potential benefits of testing outweigh the harms of testing and treatment. The American Cancer Society believes that men should not be tested without learning about what we know and don’t know about the risks and possible benefits of testing and treatment.

Starting at age 50, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of testing so you can decide if testing is the right choice for you. If you are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, you should have this talk with your doctor starting at age 45. If you decide to be tested, you should have the PSA blood test with or without a rectal exam. How often you are tested will depend on your PSA level. For more information, please see our document, Prostate Cancer: Early Detection.

Cancer-related check-up
For people aged 20 or older having periodic health exams, a cancer-related check-up should include health counseling and, depending on a person's age and gender, exams for cancers of the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes, and ovaries, as well as for some non-malignant (non-cancerous) diseases.

Take control of your health and reduce your cancer risk.
Stay away from tobacco.
Stay at a healthy weight.
Get moving with regular physical activity.
Eat healthy with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Limit how much alcohol you drink (if you drink at all).
Protect your skin.
Know yourself, your family history, and your risks.
Have regular check-ups and cancer screening tests.
For information on how to reduce your cancer risk and other questions about cancer, please call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit us online at www.cancer.org.

This Day…

February or March 586 B.C.

A Prophecy against Tyre. Ezekiel dated these prophecies to February or March 586 B.C.[1]



February 19, 842: The Medieval Iconoclastic Controversy ended, when a Council in Constantinople formally reinstated the veneration of images (icons) in the churches. This debate over icons is often considered the last event which led to the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches. This split continues to this day between the Roman Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox. As those studying in Cedar Rapids now know, many of the things done to the Jews by Christians were by-products of these various squabbles between various Christian sects.[2]

846: In 846 Moslems had sacked Rome.[3]

855 Italy, Jews expelled.[4]

Kenneth, son of Alpin, King of the Picts, died A.D. 858; that Donald, son of Alpin, King of the Picts, died A.D. 862;[5]

870: When Bernard the Wise from Brittany, visited Palestin in 870, he found Charles the Great’s establishments still in working order, but empty and beginning to decay. Bernard had only been able to make the journey by obtaining a passport from the Moslem authorities then governing Bari, in southern Italy; and even this passport did not enable him to land at Alexandria.[6]

876 Sens, Jews deported.[7]

878

In the year 878, with a young military commander by the name of Alfred (849-899), King of Wessex, later called “The Great.” He is credited with preserving the language by his military exploits against the invading Danes. With a fresh number of recruits, Alfred surprised and overwhelmed the Danes at the battle of Ethandune, causing their withdrawal to the north.[8]

Although it is on certain record that the chief of MacKinnon was seised of property in Skye as well as in the Isle of Mull as early as A. D. 880, we have no authentic account of the history of the clan till we reach A. D. 1314, when the clan MacKinnon fought under the great Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn.[9]

900

We may here remark that there are six other Clans who trace from King Ailpein, and who came into existence, migrated and dispersed about the same period viz., A.D. 900, and their claim to the distinction of being the noblest and most ancient of the Highland Clans has been acquiesced in by the other Clans. Their proud old “S’rioghail mo dhream” (my race is royal) was acknowledged by all, and survived the successive ages of independent Scottish history from the beginning to the end. It is indeed a pity that the distinctive family mottos which now hold place shoul ever have been adopted to the abandonment of that to which they all had a right, and which might have bound them together even to the present day. These Clans are, besides the Mackinnons, Clan Gregor, MacNab, McAulay, MacPhie, Grant and MacQuarrie.

900 C.E.

“Ashkenaz” is mentioned in Genesis and Chronicles as the son of Gomer, who is the son of Yafet, the son of Nowh. In Talmudic tradition, Gomer is known as Germania, and Germania of Edom is Germany. Thus, the area of Europe where jews first settled became known as Ashkenaz, and its inhabitants, Ashkenazim.

As early as 900 C.E., small Jewish settlements formed into a community with unique cultural patterns and communal organization, as well as an independent rabbinical leadership. Jewish communities spread first westward and later eastward, embraced Jewish Ashkenazic customes and culture and remained largely isolated from the dominant Germanic and Slavic medieval Christian society.[10]

900 AD

It so happens that there is a notorious gene called BRCA2 on chromosome 13 and it…helps to tell a story of genealogy. BRCE2 was the second ‘breast cancer gene’ to be discovered, in 1994. People with a certain, fairly rare version of BRCA2 were found to be much more likely to develop breast cancer than is usually the case. The gene was first located by studying Icelandic families with a high incidence of breast cancer. Iceland is ther perfect genetic laboratory because it was settled by such a small group of Norwegians around AD 900, and has seen so little immigration since. Virtually all of the 270,000 Icelanders trace their descent in all lines from those few thousand Vikings who reached Iceland before the little ice age. Eleven hundred years of chilly solituted and a devastating fourteen-century plague have rendered the island so infred that it is a hap0py genetic hunting ground.

Two Icelandic families with a history of frequent breast cancer can be traced back to a common ancestor born in 1711. They both have the same mutation, a deletion of five ‘letter’s after the 999th ‘letter’ of the gene. A different mutation in the same gene, the deletion of the 6,174th ‘letter’, is common in people of ?Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Approximately eight per cent of Jewish breast-cancer cases under the age of forty-two are attributable to theis one mutation, and twenty percent to a mutation in BRCA1, a gene one chromosome 17. Again, the concentration points to past inbreeding, though not on the Icelandic scale. Jewish people retained their genetic integrity by adding few converts to the faith and losing many people who married outsiders. As a result, the Ashkenazim in particular are a favourite people for genetic studies. In the United States the Committee for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Disease organizes the testing of schoolchildre’s blood. When matchmakers are later considering a marriage between two young people, they can call a hotline and quote the two anonymous numbers they were each assigned at the testing. If they are both carriers of the same mutation, for Tay-Sachs disease or cystic fibrosis, the committee advises against the marriage. The pratical results of this voluntary policy, which was criticized in 1993 by the New York Times as eugenic, are already impressive. Cystic fibrosis has been virtually eliminated from the Jewish population in the United States.

So genetic geography is of more than academic interest. Tay-Sachs disease is the result of a genetic mutation comparatively common in Ashkenazi Jews, for reasons that will be familiar from chromosome 9. Tay-Sachs carriers are somewhat protected against tuberculosis, which reflects the genetic geography of Ashkenazi Jews. Crammed into urban ghettos for much of the past few centuries, the Ashkenazim were especially exposed to the ‘white death’ and it is little wonder that they acquired some genes that offer protection, even at the expense of lethal complication for a few.

Although no such easy explanation yet exists for the mutation on chromosome 13 that predisposes Ashkenazis to develop breast cancer, it is quite possible that many racial and ethnic genetic peculiarities do indeed have a reason for their existence. In other words, the genetic geography of the world has a functional as well as a mapping contribution to make to the piecing together of history and pre-history.[11]



February 19, 1090: In Speyer, Germany, Emperor Henry IV renewed to Rabbi Judah ben Kalonymus, the poet David ben Meshullam, and Rabbi Moses ben Yekuthiel the pledges granted six years earlier by Bishop Ruediger. In addition the emperor guaranteed the Jews freedom of trade in his empire as well as his protection. Within six years Speyer became one of the first communities on the Rhine to be attacked. After the attacks Rabbi Moses took it upon himself to care for and protect the orphans created by this violence.[12]



1092: Alexius Comnenus managed to stir up trouble between Kilij Arslan and his son in law, who was murdered at a banquet in Nicaea in 1092. His son, the younger Chaka, was too busy trying to hold his inheritance together to venture on further aggression.[13]



1095: By 1095 Alexious Comnenus was ready to contemplate action against the Turks. For the moment his European lands were quiet; and in Asia the Seldjuk power was declining. Malik Shah died in 1092, Tutush in 1095; and Tutush’s sons, Ridwan of Aleppo and Duqaq of Damascus, were fighting aghianst each other or against the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, the most formidable of the younger Turkish chieftains. In Palestine the Fatimids were advancing against the sons of Orgoq. The Anbatolian Turks would get little support from their kinsmen in Syria. But Alexious was short of manpower. He needed recruits for his army. His finances were in better order; he could afford to hire mercenaries, and the best mercenaries came from the West. [14]



February 19, 1229: During the Sixth Crusade: Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor signed “a ten-year truce with al-Kamil, regaining Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem with neither military engagements nor support from the Pope Gregory IX.” The Sixth Crusade is remembered as one that did not result in the massive slaughter of Jews in Europe or Palestine. Gregory is remember as the Pope who created the dreaded institution known as the Inquisition. During his reign, Frederick “decided to combine the manufacturing of silk and the dying trades and to give them over to a number of Jewish families. For many years both of these industries were “almost the exclusive activities of Jews in Sicily, Naples, and other parts of Italy” which were part of the Holy Roman Empire.[15]



1229: Richard the Lion Hearted takes the city of Jerusalem in 1229.



February 19, 1539: The Jews of Tyrnau Hungary (then Trnava Czechoslovakia) were expelled. In case you had not noticed, there seems to be an expulsion somewhere on almost every day of the year.[16]



1540 Jews expelled from Naples.[17]





February 19, 1543: The Vatican established the House of Catechumens (Casa dei Catecumeni). The purpose of the house, supported by Jewish taxation was solely to convert Jews. Those sent there were subjected to 40 days of intense “instruction”. If after that time he still refused baptism he was allowed to return to his home – few did. Until it was abolished in 1810 around 2440 Jews were converted in Rome alone. Other houses were set up in various Italian cities. On this same day three Portuguese Marranos from Ferrara were burned in Rome's Campo dei Fiori.[18]



1543

The Spanish version of the Bible by Francisco de Enzinas (1543) was based on Erasmus.[19]



February 19, 1583: In Italy, Joseph Saralbo was burned at the stake at the command of Pope Gregory XIII. Saralbo was accused of returning to Judaism and of trying to convince other Marranos in Ferrara to join him. According to reports he proudly proclaimed that he had helped 800 Marranos return to Judaism. He asked the Jews of Rome not to mourn for him stating “I am on my way to meet immortality.”[20]

February 19, 1594: King Sigismund III ruler of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is crowned King of Sweden. Under King Sigismund’s rule, conditions for Polish and Lithuanian Jews continued to deteriorate. Such could not be said of his Swedish realm since there was no Jewish community in Sweden at this time.[21]

1594: In the very ancient description of the western isles, by Donald Monro, Dean of the Isles (1594) he records that the MacKinnon possessions in Skye are as follows:—"The Castill of Dunnakyne, perteining to M'Kynnoun; the Castill Dunringill, perteining to the said M'Kynnoun; the country of Strayts nardill, perteining to M'Kynnoun. At the shore of Skye aforesaid, Iyes ane iyle callit Pabay, neyre ane myle in lenthe, full of woodes, guid for fishing, and a main shelter for thieves and cut throats. It perteins to M'Kynnoun."[22]

February 19, 1674: England and the Netherlands sign the Peace of Westminster, ending the Third Anglo-Dutch War. A provision of the agreement transfers the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam to England, which renamed it New York.[23]



Tuesday, February 19, 1754

Lt. Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia proclaims 200,000 acres of Ohio territory set aside "For Encouraging Men to enlist", to protect and help expand Virginia's boundaries. This land would be divided after the land was firmly in the hands of the Virginia Colony. [24]



February 19, 1754

A Proclamation

GOD SAVE THE KING[25]



February 19, 1799



After the beginning of orderly legal procedure in southwestern Pennsylvania, the simple form of the township municipality prevailed from 1771 to 1794. The town of Pittsburgh was the first one incorporated by Act of the Pennsylvania Assembly on April 22, 1794. This was followed on April 4, 1796, by the incorporation of Uniontown as a borough. The Borough of Greensburg was incorporated third on February 19, 1799. Each of these municipalities have now become cities, with their many departments and multiple laws.



The justices of Westmoreland County, as they sat in court on that spring morning of April 6, 1773, were quite familiar with the landmarks of the rivers and the military roads, but their abortive description of the new Menallen Township, their omission of a substantial corner of old Armstrong Township up on the Allegheny Mountain towards Cherry Tree; and their slight confusion in distinguishing the Laurel Hill from the Chestnut Ridge to the southeastward showed some degree of uncertainty as to lines. Many of these lines, however, remain fixed down to the present time, in spite of the clash with Virginia over the matter of jurisdiction in the days of the Revolution.[3][26]



February 19, 1803: Ohio joins the Union as the seventeenth state.[27]

February 19, 1811: On this date in 1811, the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia was formed in Washington D.C.[28]

Fri. February 19, 1864

Clear and pleasant went to regiment 8 miles on cars[29] then crossed lake pontchartrain- arrived at 6 pm n L.A.[30]



February 19, 1865

Sergeant Hoag was upset with the sermons given by the minister of the Independent Presbyterian Church. The man was a good speaker and preached orthodox doctrine, but they did not pray for the Union. Rigby was also displeased, saying that the prayers were so carefully worded that the subject of patriotism was left very ambiguous. Both soldiers preferred Reverend M. French, Union Army Chaplain, who delivered a splendid sermon on the state of the country and on the “African race.”[31]



• February 19, 1879, Clara Gottliebnee Horneburg born February 19, 1879 in Kiel. Resided Hamburg. Deportation: from Hamburg, November 8, 1941 to Minsk. Missing. Killed at Tuchinka? [32]



• February 1928:
DNVP, pushed by its pragmatic (economic) wing, reenters government in January 1927 but leaves again in February 1928. Unemployment rises but reaches no dramatic levels. Quiet year in Weimar politics.[33]



February 19, 1936: On August 17, 1942 Convoy 20 left Drancy, France for Auschwitz with 581 children. On board was Paulette Gotlib born in Paris (12) February 19, 1936, age 6. Her brother Simone born June 18, 1939, age 4, was also on board. Their home was 35, r Francois Arago, Montreuil, France. Prior to deportation to Auschwitz they were held at Camp Pithiviers[34]. Pithiviers is of global historical interest as one of the locally infamous World War II concentration camps where children were separated from their parents while the adults were processed and deported to camps farther away, usually Auschwitz. [35] Also on board was Rachla Gotlib born March 22, 1908 from Chanciny, Poland. On board from Vienne Austria was Gertrude Gottlieb born July 6, 1901 and Michel Gottlieb born November 27, 1897.[36]

February 1939

The Congress of the United States rejects the Wagner-Rogers Bill, an effort to admit 20,000 Jewish refugee children under the age of 14 from Nazi Germany.[37]



February 1939

Thousands of Nazi sympathizers have gathered in Madison Square Garden and there are reports of Nazi spies operating on American soil. [38]

February 19, 1941: The Nazis raided Koco Amsterdam and seized 425 young Jews who were sent to Beuchenwald. Koco was described as an isolated Jewish section in Amsterdam. This roundup was part of a week of violence aimed against the 70,000 Jews of this Dutch city. On February 9, Dutch Nazis sparked the first anti-Jewish riots in Amsterdam. Although there was considerable damage and destruction, the Jews along with many of the Dutch countrymen fought back. After the arrests on the 20th, tens of thousands of Dutch men and women went on strike in protest. The stunned Nazi occupiers struck back brutally and crushed the strike. However, this would not be the last time that the embattled people of Holland worked to protect their Jewish fellow countrymen.[39]

February 1942: The 8th Air Force was activated in February 1942 as a heavy bomber force based in England. Its B-17 Flying Fortresses, capable of sustaining heavy damage while continuing to fly, and its B-24 Liberators, long-range bombers, became famous for precision bombing raids, the premier example being the raid on Wilhelmshaven. Commanded at the time by Brig. Gen. Newton Longfellow, the 8th Air Force was amazingly effective and accurate in bombing warehouses and factories in this first air attack against the Axis power.[40]



February 1943: “Among the countless testimonies from Jews as to their personal sufferings, we found one from a Hungariran interned at Gurs that confirms the above report:

‘Deportations began in early February 1943. A large number, about 150, of guards suddenly appeared. They were assigned to the blocks of huts in which were penned internees from other camps, especially for the one of Nexon. The deportation was to include all men of German, Polish, Austrian and Czech nationality up to the age of sixty five. At that time I was sixty four years , nine and a half months old; but fortuanately I was able, on the strength of my birth certificate, to pass myself off as a Hungarian, and in the general confusion the details were never checked out. ‘Among the deportees were a large number of Poles and Czechs who had fought in the French army or in the Foreign Legion. These too were handed over to the Germans. The fellow in the bed next to mine, a Germnan rabbi, Dr. Rosenwasser, was to be sixty five in six days, but he was deported just the same.

‘The deportation went on for two days. Two guards came after each of the ‘called’ and forced him to pack in five minutes, so impossible a task that many possessions were left behind.

‘ The internees destined for deportation were taken under heavgy guard to Block E, each carrying his belongings. Those who were allowed to remain in the hell of Gurs were invied by the deportees as the luckiest of men. All through the night you could hear women weeping in despair, for many had not time even to say good-bye to their sons and husbands. Several could not find outr whether their husbands had been deported. My wife did not sleep a wink for two nights for fear that I had been deported. On the day after the deportation the women were allowed to visit our block, and their sobs and cries whenb they saw their husbands’ beds empty were dreadful to hear.”[41]



February 19, 1945: Battle of Iwo Jima begins. “Sam Bernstein chuckles when he remembers the Tootsie Rolls he put in his cartridge belt. I chose Tootsie Rolls because they wouldn't melt and they were just the size of a bullet. At the same time, I strapped on three or four bandoliers full of ammunition. Still, if the officers had known what I was doing, they probably would have shot me instead of the Japanese! He does not chuckle when he remembers the two men who were killed in his foxhole. Or the day he helped the Jewish chaplain bury some Marines.” The Jewish Chaplain was Rabbi Roland B. Gittelsohn, assigned to the Fifth Marine Division who was the first Jewish chaplain the Marine Corps ever appointed. Rabbi Gittelsohn was in the thick of the fray, ministering to Marines of all faiths in the combat zone. His tireless efforts to comfort the wounded and encourage the fearful won him three service ribbons. When the fighting was over, Rabbi Gittelsohn was asked to deliver the memorial sermon at a combined religious service dedicating the Marine Cemetery. Unfortunately, racial and religious prejudice led to problems with the ceremony. What happened next immortalized Rabbi Gittelsohn and his sermon forever. It was Division Chaplain Warren Cuthriell, a Protestant minister, who originally asked Rabbi Gittelsohn to deliver the memorial sermon. Cuthriel wanted all the fallen Marines (black and white, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish) honored in a single, nondenominational ceremony. However, according to Rabbi Gittelsohn's autobiography, the majority of Christian chaplains objected to having a rabbi preach over predominantly Christian graves The Catholic chaplains, in keeping with church doctrine opposed any form of joint religious service. To his credit, Cuthriell refused to alter his plans. Gittelsohn, on the other hand, wanted to save his friend Cuthriell further embarrassment and so decided it was best not to deliver his sermon. Instead, three separate religious services were held. At the Jewish service, to a congregation of 70 or so who attended, Rabbi Gittelsohn delivered the powerful eulogy he originally wrote for the combined service:


"Here lie men who loved America because their ancestors’ generations ago helped in her founding. And other men who loved her with equal passion because they themselves or their own fathers escaped from oppression to her blessed shores. Here lie officers and men, Negroes and Whites, rich men and poor, together. Here are Protestants, Catholics, and Jews together. Here no man prefers another because of his faith or despises him because of his color. Here there are no quotas of how many from each group are admitted or allowed.
"Among these men there is no discrimination. No prejudices. No hatred. Theirs is the highest and purest democracy! Whosoever of us lifts his hand in hate against a brother, or who thinks himself superior to those who happen to be in the minority, makes of this ceremony and the bloody sacrifice it commemorates, an empty, hollow mockery. To this then, as our solemn sacred duty, do we the living now dedicate ourselves: To the right of Protestants, Catholics, and Jews, of White men and Negroes alike, to enjoy the democracy for which all of them have here paid the price.
"We here solemnly swear this shall not be in vain. Out of this and from the suffering and sorrow of those who mourn this, will come, we promise, the birth of a new freedom for the sons of men everywhere."

Among Gittelsohn's listeners were three Protestant chaplains so incensed by the prejudice voiced by their colleagues that they boycotted their own service to attend Gittelsohn's. One of them borrowed the manuscript and, unknown to Gittelsohn, circulated several thousand copies to his regiment. Some Marines enclosed the copies in letters to their families. An avalanche of coverage resulted. Time magazine published excerpts, which wire services spread even further. The entire sermon was inserted into the Congressional Record, the Army released the eulogy for short-wave broadcast to American troops throughout the world and radio commentator Robert St. John read it on his program and on many succeeding Memorial Days. In 1995, in his last major public appearance before his death, Gittelsohn reread a portion of the eulogy at the 50th commemoration ceremony at the Iwo Jima statue in Washington, D.C. In his autobiography, Gittelsohn reflected, I have often wondered whether anyone would ever have heard of my Iwo Jima sermon had it not been for the bigoted attempt to ban it.[42]

Hi Jeff, I'm still chasing my Armstrongs! :)



I found a reference in The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer families: A Genealogical History of the Upper Monongehela Valley by Howard L Leckey to a "Colonel William Crawford." This one was married to Alice Kennedy, whose sister Mary Kennedy was married to John Armstrong (1736 - 1822). The Kennedy girls were supposedly the daughters of David Kennedy of Chambersburg, PA. It also states, "John Armstrong served in Captain William Crawfords' Militia Company."



Was there more than one Colonel Wm Crawford? I thought our Wm Crawford was married to a Vance?







Regarding the John Armstrong (above) that served under Capt Wm Crawford, do you have any suggestions on how I could find out more about him?







As ever, Linda







Linda, Very Cool! Yes! there are three Captain William Crawford's who were in the American Revolution. I believe they all had sons who were named John, who also fought in the revolution. So it gets very confusing as to which William Crawford is being referred to in the history archives. Our William Crawford also lived on the Monogehela!







I believe there is plenty written about each William Crawford in the History Books. Some historians have unwittingly included the wrong WC at certain events. I found this out because I do things chronologically and found that he couldn't have been in two places at once! I will let you know if I find anything on your WC.

[29]…New Orleans via the Pontchartrain Railroad, the captain complained: “I think that piece of Railroad between Lakeport & the city is worse than anything else of the kind in the U.S. The locomotives on it are old fashioned asthmatic things. The cars are not over 12 ft long are with out brakes starting & stopping is effected by a succession of jerks that is apt to uset one if he is not on his guard.”
