Dear Mabry:
There is so much information here on the Lydick and Shafer families it will boggle your mind.
There was a cholera epidemic in l85l if I recall that wiped out a neighborhood practically.
I would like to send you l850 census records, also cemetery records for the Cholera Cemetery, also family sheets on her parents with name of who shared it, also on his parents with name of who else has been working on those Shafer clan for many years. There is an incomplete sheet on Michael and Julia however.And a pix of the cemetery entrance. I finally made it there last in Sept 2001 for another project.
My fees are mimimum to run 9 miles to town...2.50
25 cents for every family sheet (3 of them) two census prints 50 cents each and $l.50 each for my effort.....cemetery inscriptions and write up about the epidemic 5 pages x 25.......
add it up & include postage to cover, probably 4 stamps
I would send it in less than l0 days after I get your request. INTERESTED ?? I aim to please.
