| 15524 | Historian Jennifer Wilt provided the attached image of a letter, dated 3 April 1826, from Thomas A. Jones to John Sommerville regarding a Mr. Alexander. A transcription of the letter is as follows: "Col. Sommerville I wish you to furnish me with bills for Mr. Alexander and myself for boards. I likewise wish you to deliver to the bearer a box of papers and cloathing left in your care, when here last, which will oblige. Tho. A. Jones Clarksburg, April 3 1826" Citing "The History of Smithburg" by Thomas A. Jones's son Ned, Wilt provided the following background: "Ned Jones mentioned an Alexander in his book, but otherwise there is no proof he existed. I spent quite a while trying to track him down, but was unsuccessful. I found this piece of paper from 1826 in a court case between Thomas A. Jones and John Sommerville at the court house in Clarksburg. Here's what Ned said: "As a matter of course, Jones [Thomas] knew nothing about farming and, equally as a matter of course, his wife knew nothing about housekeeping. But, as luck would have it, a man by the name of Robert Alexander elected to come with them, who knew a great many things that were of great advantage to Jones. Besides his wife's people had given them a couple of negroes, but these later proved to be of no earthly account and finally walked off without any attempt on the part of Jones to prevent them. With AlexanderÂ’s help, they managed to have enough to eat, as the forest and stream furnished more than half. "But the great drawback came to Jones in that he and his wife were stricken with fever at the same time. It was thought for many weeks that neither could live, but they did, else I would not be writing this history. Here is when Alexander proved himself true as steel, for he took charge of everything and waited upon them as though his own life was in danger, and but for him, they must have perished, either with fever or want during the winter. ... "The house that JonesÂ’ moved into was more comfortable than the one they left, having more room and its arrangement, some idea of comfort. But Jones had no help here, as his negroes had left and Alexander had returned to Baltimore. I imagine, or rather I know, they had a very hard time to get along. Remember that there were no railroads, no turnpike, no salt to be had nearer than Jane Lew and in the dry season, no mill except Uncle Jonathan's hand mill to grind with. This will show that they must have had great many privations and hardships to contend with, besides having to contend with poverty of a no light kind." | JONES, Thomas Anderson (I56527)

| 15528 | History of Livingston, California "David Baldwin Chedester, a wagon master of a wagon train from Iowa, is acknowledged as the first settler of Livingston in 1862. He supplied food and produce to the railroad gangs building the railroad. On November 4, 1871, the day which preceded the crossing of the Merced river by the Central (now Southern) Pacific Railway, Edward Olds, an ex-member of the railway gang, set up a saloon and clothing "store" on the banks of the Merced river." ~ http://livingston.govoffice2.com/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={280813CF-C738-4F4F-9FC7-85FFB8EBC860}&DE={1F00C88A-646A-4D47-B30E-5AD90EF291D. A Pioneer Gone To Rest David Chedester one of the pioneers of the county passed away at his home on the Merced river in the Jefferson school district. April 29th at the ripe age of 87 years. Mr. Chedester had been ill for a number of weeks and his death was not unexpected. He was a native of Virginia and came to California in 1863.

| 15530 | Hobert Golden Squires was a resident of Industrial, Salem, WV. Although many records and other source materials give his name as "Hobart," his birth record, his obituary, and his wife's obituary all report his and his son's names as "Hobert," and his SSDI entry also has it spelled "Hobert." "History of Doddridge County," p. 249, gives Nettie Pearl Pierce's name as "Nellie," an apparent error. 1930 Census, Harrison Co, WV (City of Salem), enumerated on Apr 14 1930 at 54 Liberty Street: V.

| 15535 | Homer Joseph Husk and Lucy L. Husk were third cousins by virtue of both being great-great-grandchildren of Samuel & Elizabeth Husk. Family tradition has it that before she died, Lucy Husk made her husband Homer promise that he would remarry her sister, Minnie J. Husk, which he did eight months later. He and wife Minnie were therefore also third cousins. | Family: Homer Joseph HUSK / Lucy L. HUSK (F699)

| 15537 | Honorable John Bassel Judge Bassel was born, reared and died in Harrison County. He was born June 9, 1840 and died in the City of Clarksburg on December 28, 1914. He was educated at Moore's Academy at Morgantown, Virginia, where he spent two years. Then from Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania he graduated with honor. He read law in the office of the late John J. Davis for one year. Later graduated from Cincinnati College of Law and was admitted to practice in the Courts of Harrison County, January 8, 1864. He was noted for his diligence, mental acuteness, and power of analysis. He was a dangerous opponent in debate, but was never spectacular nor offensive. He had a remarkably retentive memory and could cite cases with marvelous precision. Mr. Bassel was twice married, first to Miss Martha Lewis, by whom he had six children, and second to Miss Mary Bean, who survived him and still resides in Clarksburg. She is a woman of marked ability, and helped her husband manage his large volume of business which burdened him in his declining years. Mr. Bassel was a Democrat, but devoted little time and thought to politics. The first and only office, to which he was ever elected by the people, was a member of the State Convention that prepared the Constitution of the State in 1872, under which we are still living. He was counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for many years. He was a Presbyterian, domestic in tastes and habits, and enjoyed his friends. He was president of the State Bar Association in 1901. The association was in session at Parkersburg the day of his demise, and twenty of its members, as a mark of respect, were appointed to attend his funeral.

| 15538 | Honored Guests Thomas W. Langfitt 1987, Baltimore Thomas William Langfitt was born on April 20, 1927, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, the son of Dr. Frank V. Langfltt and Veda Davis Langfitt. Dr. Frank Langfitt was a general surgeon and an outstanding leader in his community. He played a major role in the creation of the West Virginia University Medical Center in Morgantown and his career and ideals proved to be of great influence on his son's life. Both parents bestowed the values of honesty and integrity upon their son at an early age, attributes for which he is well known and respected. Dr. Thomas Langfitt graduated from Mercerberg Academy in 1945 and from Princeton University in 1949. He attended The Johns Hopkins Medical School, graduating in 1953. Dr. Langfitt spent many long hours in the library absorbing the fundamentals of medical knowledge and building the intellectual foundation for his investigative life. In addition he got to know the librarian well--Carolyn Louise Payne. They were married in his senior year of medical school. She is the mother of their four sons and continues to be his partner in many civic activities. Dr. Langfitt completed a tour of duty in the United States Army and returned to The Johns Hopkins for his residency in neurological surgery under Dr. A. Earl Walker. He completed his training in 1961 and moved to Philadelphia, accepting the position of head of the Section of Neurological Surgery at the Pennsylvania Hospital with an academic appointment at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. Here during the next 7 years he conducted basic research on intracranial pressure, cerebral circulation, and cerebral metabolism. Continuing his research throughout his long career in neurosurgery, Dr. Langfitt and his colleagues have made major contributions to our understanding of the dynamics and relationships of intracranial pressure, cerebral circulation, and metabolism. In 1968 he became professor and chairman of the Division of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, a position he held until 1987. He has served as vice president for health affairs at the University and was for a time acting vice president for Finance. Nationally, he has served on numerous advisory councils and committees for the National Institutes of Health. He has been chairman of the Board of the Association of Academic Health Centers and has served as chairman of the Organizing Committee for the International Symposia on Increased Intracranial Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He has served our specialty on the American Board of Neurological Surgery and has been its chairman. He has been on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and has been its vice president. He has been chairman of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Neurosurgery, president of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery, and in 1987 was president of the Society of.Neurological Surgeons. He has served on the Board of Trustees of Princeton University. Dr. Langfitt has an impressive bibliography covering many areas of research, both basic and clinical. He has received recognition and honors throughout the world for his scholarly research, his inspired teaching, and his articulate and thoughtful leadership. Literature and the arts are avocations for him and Carolyn and personal physical fitness is high on his list of priorities. He is truly a man for all seasons. For many years Dr. Langfitt has served on the Board of Directors of the Glenmede Trust Company, the administrators of the Pew Charitable Trust. This Trust is the second largest in the United States and provides significant financial support for biomedical research and projects beneficial to society in general. In February 1987, Dr. Langfitt retired as chairman of the Division of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania to assume the duties of his new post--president and chief executive officer of the Glenmede Trust Company and Pew Charitable Trust, one more remarkable achievement for this remarkable man. I am indebted to Dr. Frederick Murtagh, a long-time colleague and friend of Dr. Langfitt's, who wrote his biography in Surgical Neurology in 1984. The Congress of Neurological Surgeons was proud to have Dr. Thomas Langfitt as honored guest at its annual meeting in Baltimore in 1987. http://www.cns.org/about/history/honoredGuests/default.aspx?inID=1987 | LANGFITT, Thomas William (I71582)
