There are so many missed opportunities and non so sad as having had a moment in time, when one could have communicated to another, . . . but it was missed. That special day when my grandfather, Harry Blair Fleming, sat with me on our front porch in Dixonville, PA, and he, kind of off-hand, said to me, "I floated logs down that stream." I recall it as if it were yesterday. Yet, in my youth, I did not see or even think of the history in that one statement. Dixon Creek is now but a ditch one can jump without getting your feet wet. Why? What was going through my mind those many years ago that I couldn't and didn't ask a simple question - "That Creek!" "How?"
Today, as far as I can tell, I am the only one of the Flemings left that even care. My mind is a rush of questions and unsolved mysteries about the FLEMING Clan. I ask questions of the young and receive no answers. Am I being repaid in like kind in that back then I didn't care enough to ask a simple question. Where did you cut these logs. Where did you float them too. Who was your father, granddad? What did he do? Where did you live back then?
We are left today to THINK that Harry Blair's father was David Fleming. His tomb stone lies directly behind Harry Blair's so we must assume that David was my great, great grandfather. It would be so nice to have something solid - a simple question, or an entry in a family Bible - anything . . . There are decedents of slaves that know more about where they came from than we Flemings do. So sad, but it is true. I could have ask my mother. So many times we sat together and as a youth I had no foresight to ask some really interesting questions. Gone is the opportunity. . . gone forever. Our Family Web Page is the opportunity we can cease here at "MyFamily.Com." Young people . . . just ASK! Mothers and fathers . . . engage your children. I just know that there are exciting things that can add to OUR STORY. They are out there. Not as many stories as there could have been. But, I just know we can do more.
Please take an active role in preserving our heritage. It is worth it, if not to you, to all those who are to follow. Nothing is insignificant. Everything is important. Add to our history buy putting it down. You are important, and your family stories are important. We may never again meet in this life, but we can be sure that someday someone will be setting as I do now and wondering how it all came to be. God bless. Bob C

Subject: Re: [INDIANA] Early LumberingYvonne,
Thanks very much for the heads-up on the article. It sounds like a great venture and I wish I was closer to help out. I hope we can keep posted on the progress of the projects.
For those interested in the Cherry Tree history of lumbering, you may want to read the article in the March 23rd issue of the Indiana Gazette. There is a resurgence of interest in the town's history which may result in a lot more information becoming available in the future.

Is the book by Tonkin available to buy or can it be found in the library? I would be interested in reading that book as Bartlebaughs were also river pilots and of that time.

Subject: [INDIANA] Early LumberingThis is for those interested in the early lumber trade around Cherry Tree.
I'm in search of any information on early lumbering, logging and sawmill operations. I'm hoping someone might know of any ledgers or account books out there listing transactions of local lumber trade in the 1830-1870 time period. I've read "My Partner the river by R. D. Tonkin and looked through the micro film of letters belonging to Vincent Todkin. Allot of the lumber that was milled at local sawmills was delivered to towns like Ebensburg and Indiana. I have ancestors who were in the lumbering business in the Susquehanna and Barr Township area in Cambria Co. and in Green and Montgomery Townships in Indiana Co.. Tonkin's book lists lots of names of Raft Pilots that worked on the head waters of the river. Another interesting find at the State Archives was a diary by William Langdon, himself a river pilot. He kept a dairy from around 1850-1870 and lived in Cherry Tree.

[Has No Children] Living UNCAPHERHannah J Craig used to take her two sons to visit Uncle Ward and Aunt Vira. I, Bob Craig, remember these visits quite well. Uncle Ward was quite handy with his hands. He made things like cutting an outline of a 1/4 moon and star out of wood, would finish the wood and the end product had a hanging stair steps which was handy for putting Nic-knacks on and hanging it on the wall. Mom had one of these sets. He also made corner Nic-Nack racks. They were about a foot and one half tall and were made to hang in a corner of a room. He also made figures out of wood and in some way would suspend them on string and had a sort of paddle he would sit on and was able to make the figures walk by tapping on the paddle. He also was able to take a plain ordinary carpenters saw and make music. He did this by using a bow somewhat lie a violin and by bending the saw was able to make music. Quite good at it. Vira also was handy with her hands and took cards, like Christmas cards, and fasten them together in a fan fashion and they were quite attractive. If my memory serves me right Uncle Ward had a huge ball of string. He saved string and would wind it on the ball. The girls come to mind as pleasant and rather full of giggles. We enjoyed visiting them in Heilwood several times.Children of VIRA HOLMES and HAROLD UNCAPHER are:

Notes for HANNAH JEMIMA FLEMING:
Killed in Automobille Accident just north of Marion Center on the way to Rossiter, PA.Hannah Jemimah Fleming Craig - Born near Clymer, PA - Early childhood raised on a farm not far from Clymer. She told of walking over the hill between the farm and Clymer - going down the hill was a huge rock - the size of a house. They used to climb over it, even after severe warnings from mother and dad. One day she fell off the face of the rock and never told parents for fear of punishment. Hannah, in her old age, told that her ever severer pain and problems with her back came about most likely from that early childhood experience.In 1950 Hannah, her two sons, Kenneth & Robert, took a train trip to Phoenix, AR, to visit Uncle John Learn & his son, Blaine Learn. They stayed two months in Phoenix and then took the train to California where they visited with Charles Fleming. Charles was working at a saw mill there where they were harvesting wood from the red wood forest near-by. While visiting there Uncle Charles took them on a scenic visit to the Giant Red Woods forest. They saw all the giant trees like the one you could drive a car through. On the way back home they stopped at a stream and after watching her two sons play in the water, slipped her dress off and went swimming in her petty coat. Charles got a big laugh at that. It wasn't long after that visit that Charles and his family returned back to PA and settled near Rossiter, PA.
Robert LeRoy, who almost never showed any signs of poor health, died quite unexpected of a heart attack. Hannah never quite got over it and grieved until her death in a severe auto accident just north of Marion Center. She was reportedly on the way to Rossiter to visit with her brothers and father.

Notes (Facts Pg): May 17, 2004, Question of Jean KingNotes for DOROTHY (DOT) ???:
Charles divorced Jean King not long after he was in the service. I can remember two occasions of seeing her when I was a child. Once when Charles and Jean were visiting us when we lived in Kent (Jacksonville), PA. I especially recall because he was in uniform and was sitting in the Old Chair my dad had as long as I can remember. We were listening to the old Zenith Floor Radio when the announcement came over the radio (KDKA Piattsburgh, PA) that the war was over! And another while visiting her at her parents home somewhere not far from Cookport, PA. As I recall we were invited to a prayer meeting at the home. It turned into a rather roccus rant ( holly-roller) and after what seemed to me have been hours mom took me by the hand and we left. It wasn't long after than the she divorced Uncle Charles Fleming.

He has worked for the same company for several years now and travels the state of Virginia, and even some neighboring states, supervising several crews of construction workers. If you ever visit Hampton, Virginia Beach or Norfolk Virginia, you will most likely walk on Pavers he has had placed. They use them for road ways, walk ways [Virginia Beach Board Walk), etc. Nearly all of the Board Walk on Virginia Beach is paved by Westcon. Besides, he is our son and we know he is special and we love him very much.More About PAMELA SUE BAKER:
