Hi again, Sandy!
wetzupdoc@me.com
I'd love any pictures you're willing to share, especially the family photo.
I hadn't connected Oleona to Cross Fork before, my bad! Cross Fork holds one of the great mysteries of my file (half sibling, mystery father seems to stem from there- DNA).
Thank you for the run-down on your mom's family. That is so helpful. As I fill in more and more in my expanding family tree, we may find we're even more closely related. LOL!
I've got a picture book on Wood Hicks; if I come across your grandfather, I'll send you a pic. I'm curious myself now.
And I'll look out for them in my census work of Coudersport.
Have you done the DNA? It says we're not related, which I guess we're really not.
More later, I've got some filling in to do,
john

Dear John,
Wow! All I ever knew about Roy's wife was her name. I was planning to look into it but had not yet done so. Thusly, Hi, cousin!
William and Etna had 10 children:
Lucy (never married)
LeRoy
Clara (married Mark Chilson, also a lumberjack, 4 children: Lois, Roger, Hal, Larry)
Florence (married Arnold Klier, no children)
Bessie (married, no children, died age 27)
Jennie (possibly Jane or Genevieve [long, funny story]. She never knew her real first name, but went by Jane. Married Frederick Caddle, one child [me])
Willis (never married)
Clair (married, one daughter, but divorced and family never talked about it, second wife Judy)
Vera (married Knute Evjen, 5 daughters: Solveig, Andree, Annette, Mari, Marsha)
Myron (married Vadare ?, one child, Myra).
I have a formal picture of the entire family, taken around 1916, but there doesn't seem to be an option to attach photos to these messages. If you wouldn't mind sharing your direct e-mail address with me, I can send it to you.
Grandpa and Grandma were born in Gouldsboro (Thornhurst) PA, and came to Potter County when they were first married. He owned a tract of lumber and later, operated a hotel, post office, and general store in Oleona PA (also listed as Cross Fork). The first 4 kids were born in the attic over the cook shack in the lumber camp. My mother was the first to be born in a real house. Grandma was small but mighty and made him build the house before mother was born. Later, they moved to Coudersport and lived there the rest of their lives. My cousin Myra owns the house now. Many, many memories!
There are also some pictures I haven't scanned into the computer yet, but one of them clearly shows William at work. When I get them into my computer, I can send it to you.
So good to meet you!

Sandra,
you are the 'Niece of the husband (LeRoy) of my 2nd cousin 2x removed (Lulu)'.

Ach! I'm so sorry, for being so lazy! Right after hitting SEND, I looked at the tree you posted. I see your connection, THANK YOU!
I only have 10 children for Wm and Etna, but NONE of THEIR children.
On the other hand, I do not have Jane, your mother. Did she come between Bessie and Jennie? or is she ... Jennie?
I appreciate your help, if you don't mind; I'd like to get this right.

Hi Sandra,
It's unfortunate that the photo to which we respond isn't part of the response. This has happened to me several times, and I don't know of a fix, yet. I think I found the picture and I think I'd found it on-line and just used it as an 'emblem' for lumbermen in my tree. This is the name:
bark peeler 1900bowler_wmmillerl.jpg
I see what you mean about the resolution. I'll look into this a little more and find a more detailed example.
I'm sorry that this may have miss-lead you; I'd love to find a photo that actually does have William in it.
On the other hand, Cool! that you are related to him. So WE are related, however distantly and not 'blood'. This is how I am connected to William A. Bachman:
He is the
father-in-law of my 2nd cousin 2x removed-
Lulu Myrtle Baker (married Wm's son Leroy Albert Bachman), who is
dau of Lydia S. Brock, who is
dau of Sarah Luzerne Weimer, who is
dau of Michael & Rebecca BARR WEIMER
He lived for a while in Coudersport, Potter County, PA. Are you from Potter County?
What is your lineage from William?
Sincerely,
john

I noticed the picture you uploaded, but it's a bit small for me to tell whether one of the men in the picture is my grandfather, William A. Bachman, although I think he might be the big man standing in front. Can you tell me anything about the picture?
Thanks,
Sandra Topping
