52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 22

Week 22:

The theme for Week 22 is “Reunion.” Whether it’s a family reunion, a class reunion, or some other commonality that brings people back together, it’s an opportunity for connection and context. What reunions can you think about in your family tree?

Yinger family reunions! Every year we'd gather in Lisburn for the annual Yinger family reunion. 

Hazel Irene Yinger 

Born: 16 January 1917 Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Died: 27 March 1995 Pennsylvania, USA

My great-grandmother, Hazel Irene Yinger, was married to my great-grandfather, Elwood David "Bud" Erney. I don't remember Hazel as I was only an infant when she died. I grew up being able to meet and know my Yinger relatives through the family reunions that we would have in Lisburn. 

Hazel's father was-

Frank Smaling Yinger 
Born: 17 April 1894 Fairview Twp, York Co, Pennsylvania, USA

Died: 22 March 1958 Fairview, York, Pennsylvania, USA

Hazel's mother was-

Katie Rebecca Miller 

Born: 6 January 1895 Newberry Township, Pennsylvania

Died: 13 February 1977 Camp Hill, Cumberland, Pennsylvania, USA

Hazel's siblings were- 

•Pearl Elizabeth Yinger Rehm 1912–1994
•Ruth Etta Yinger 1913–1914
•Ethel G Yinger 1915–1986
•Frank Smaling Yinger Jr 1918–1991
•Richard Eugene Yinger 1920–2005
•Dale R Yinger 1926–2003
•Arthur Leroy Yinger 1935–1935

Why were the family reunions in Lisburn when my great-grandmother lived in Newberry and her parents were from Fairview and Newberry?

Over the years, various Yingers have lived in Lisburn. Hazel's brother, Dale lived in Lisburn and owned the garage there- Yinger's Automotive Service and Yinger's Cub Cadet Sales and Services. Frank Jr also lived in Lisburn at the same time. 

Frank Sr sadly died in Lisburn after trying to help a motorist who was stuck in a gutter after a storm.

Reintroducing Jeremiah Miley Spahr, Sr. For years, I've been searching for a photograph of Jeremiah and haven't been able to find one until today!  Looking through a drawer full of pictures, I found a photograph of Jeremiah amongst pictures of his daughter, Amanda.  Jeremiah Miley Spahr Sr 19 Jul 1840 – 26 Nov 1926 3rd great-grandfather Jeremiah Miley Spahr was born on July 19, 1840, in Warrington Township .

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 6

  Week 6: The theme for Week 6 is “Surprise.” What ancestor dealt with a surprising thing in their life? Any stories of surprise birthday parties? How about the most surprising thing you’ve found or something in a surprising place? I am the creator of the Facebook group, Preserving the History of Newberrytown. My family has ties to Newberrytown dating back to the 1700s, which was way before it was even called Newberrytown. My grandparents knew everyone. My parents knew everyone. I grew up knowing everyone. The joke was always, "Be careful who you date because you might be related!". A few years ago I attended a presentation at the Red Land Community Library. Scott Mingus, renowned Civil War author, was giving a talk on murder mysteries, based on his book Marauders & Murderers: Civil War Mysteries of York County, Pa.  Scott started recounting the story of  Jeremiah Miley Spahr , a soldier from Company H of the 87th Pennsylvania who had walked back to his home following...

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 24

Week 24: The theme for Week 24 is “Artistic.” Is there a painter, crafter, quilter, knitter, crocheter, or musician in the family? This is their week. Dora Elizabeth Casini DeJoesph  Born: 16 Feb 1930 Hersey, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, USA Died: 21 Oct 2014 Texas Dora Elizabeth Casini Coleman DeJoseph was my paternal grandmother's sister. My great aunt Dora was a chain smoker. Growing up, the only time I remember seeing her without a cigarette was when she was crocheting Afghan blankets. She lived in Oregon and would fly to Pennsylvania for family visits. She couldn't smoke on the plane, so she'd crochet to occupy her hands. She couldn't smoke inside of our house when she visited, so she crocheted. She could whip up a blanket in record time! Everyone in the immediate family had at least one of Aunt Dora's handmade Afghan blankets.  She was a talented and longtime seamstress. She made custom draperies and bedspreads for movie and TV shows such as `Golden Girls...
