Presented by buzzcreek.com. I hope you enjoy them. Select \by file name. As time goes on - perhaps we will find time to sort and file with an index. File names should guide you to some great talks at this point. Sometimes and some systems - it is better to DOWNLOAD the file to your computer to play the audio ... but some will figure out the apps you need to play it directly from the cloud.<br />

This is important to have several open to make changes or post to the blog. This "SHOULD" become one of the KEY ways to make announcements.. Once in the blog -- it is easy to share the post to social media or email and other media. We are not limited to FB. It also makes a concise way to get news posts out to NewsPAPER media in an email. Photos and links to photos and more information can easily be editied into any post on any topic. AND in the future the posts are easy to find and if needed RE-POST or edit and repost .... Blogs are easy to use --- They are as simple as any word processor. .....<br />
<br />
HERE is our upcomming LANDING PAGE for our WEBSITE....<br />
............. the plan is to make the URL for jayhistoricalsociety dot org ... go to THIS PAGE. It will be also accessible by a team of editors -- probably same people as the blog uses..... Our existing website will remain in place and support background information just as it does now.<br />

Genetic Genealogist, Kristina Clever, will be presenting the program on how to use our DNA data to discover and document our ancestors and relatives. I am very excited about this presentation, and you should be, too. (I have spent more than 30 years searching for the Norwegian parentage of my great grandfather, and my greatest hope is that DNA can help me find who there were and where he was born.) Please come if you can.</span></span><br />

After interviewing my grandparents, I realized just how little I knew about them and the struggles they had experienced. My grandfather’s dad died when my grandfather was only 9 months old, and my Aunt Shirley was from grandpa’s first marriage.</span></span><br />

I was fascinated and wanted to know more. Who were grandpa’s paternal ancestors? What happened to my grandmother’s younger sisters? How did my ancestors come to the US? What were their lives like?

<span style="font-size: large;">My passion for DNA and experience with DNA analysis and family research led to becoming a Genetic Genealogist and an unofficial “Search Angel” helping others discover their biological family. If you are looking to unravel the secrets your DNA holds, I have the knowledge and skills to help you. By combining your DNA results with reviewing family trees of your DNA matches and researching relevant documents to confirm the accuracy of those trees, I can help you build your own genetic ancestry tree. I am member of the National Genealogical Society and Association of Professional Genealogists and currently working towards certification through the Board for Certification of Genealogists.</span><br /><br /><br /> <img src="https://clevergeneticancestry.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/apgmemberlogocolorlarge.gif?w=1120" /><a href="http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/?utm_source=member_logo&utm_medium=site&%20utm_campaign=member_logo" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.ngsgenealogy.org/galleries/default-image/NGS_Member_Logo.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> I look forward to seeing you on the 21st!</span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">Sincerely, Gayle Cowley</span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></span><br />

A little bit about Alger Loggers<br />

The Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company mill at Century was built as cutting edge technology in 1900. The new mill's high volume production would require movement of large shipments of logs and lumber to keep it running.<br />
Trains were the answer, they had been used here to deliver huge long leaf pine logs to saw mills since the 1880s. The Alger mill was built adjacent to the main Louisville & Nashville Railroad line in order to efficiently deliver its products to the port at Pensacola, but the lumber company would need a new railroad into its forests to guarantee a supply of logs.<br />
The Escambia Railway was Alger-Sullivan's railroad. It would operate over 90 miles of main track to access the company's vast forests of south Alabama. The company operated largely with used locomotives, and more than fifty were known to be used by the railway over the years. The railway primarily depended on two types of wood burning steam engines. The Baldwin 2- 6-2 and 2-6-0 locomotives were the main line haulers and the powerful but slower, gear driven Heisler pulled loads on the steeper side routes.<br />
The Escambia Railway route in Alabama was from near Flomaton, northwest to today's Frisco City. From the juncture of several railroads here, it turned east and then northeast, ending east of the town of Monroeville. Along the line were many temporary short-lines. These spurs gave the railway access to the logging areas. Early loggers would then use oxen and mules to haul logs to the closest spur and load them onto rail cars.<br />
By 1920 the steam hoist had been introduced here to load trains. Steam winches called “Donkeys” were also introduced to pull logs from the forests to the loaders. This dragging process did much damage to the forests.<br />
The work of loggers changed little between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their main tools were the two-man crosscut saw and double bit ax. The work day was usually can to can't. That is to say, from the time you can see in the morning to the time you can't see in the evening. In order to effectively work the forests many miles from town, temporary work camps for the loggers were set up by 1904 on side spurs near the work areas. The camps were established as far north as Monroeville, Alabama and could be at a site for several years. Early camp houses were just boxcars, later ones were not much better. The lumber company would utilize these logging camps for more than fifty years.<br />
The Alger-Sullivan Company saw their forests beginning to be depleted before 1920. In the early 1920's, the company adopted the new idea of replanting the woodlands after timber was cut. It was one of the first logging companies in the U.S. to develop a plan of forest management for the regrowth of timber. The company's plan was to have sustainable forests that would keep the mill operating for 100 years.<br />
The early 1930s saw the introduction of a new tool, the log truck. First intended to replace oxen as a woods transport to the trains, it was quickly discovered that truck operation was very cost effective. Trucks were delivering logs to the saw mill by 1941. At the beginning of World War II many employees left for better paying war-time jobs elsewhere, requiring the company to become more efficient. Before the end of the war, the introduction of stronger trucks, truck mounted hoists, bull-dozers and chainsaws had marked a new era of logging which made the old Escambia Railway obsolete. To help meet the demand for war-time steel, the railroad's last main line tracks were removed in 1945.<br />
Only the Baldwin locomotive Old #100 survived the railways end. Until the mid-1950s it operated as the saw mill's yard engine. It was then retired and put on display with an old company box car in front of the saw mill. In the mid-1970s the locomotive was purchased and rebuilt for the nation's bicentennial celebrations, and through the end of the 1980s it pulled an Indiana tourist train.<br />
The old locomotive was then scrapped and dismantled. Old #100 was later found and purchased by the Alger-Sullivan Historical Society. It was reassembled in Jones Park at Century and today is displayed with the old Alger box car, a last vestige of the Escambia Railway.<br />

The included album here has some of the children singing along with the church organ play. We hope more classes of all ages will take advantage of the museum. Older students will enjoy more in depth information from our archives and from our artifacts. IT is fun for all ages !<br />

The February meeting of the Historical Society featured a presentation by the local LDS genealogical <a href="https://familysearch.org/" target="_blank">FAMILY SEARCH</a>, a user friendly site with free access. Just sign in with a username and password and begin searching for family ties. After entering only a few of your recent family tree it is likely much more of your tree will fill in quickly. From there you can begin to do some very intensive genealogical research and you will have a great point from which to begin.With their efforts the organization was introduced to "Famly Search" and assisted with account set up.<br />

Others helping were Sally Simpler, who counts many marines among her family, Sister Pau'u and Sister Viola. While Sister Pau'u is a native of Tonga, her mastery of valley speak from California exposes the primary region of her residence youth and education. Sister Viola is from Ohio. Both young women appreciate history and love learning about our region. A brief discussion on local history pointed them to the origin of the name<br />

Sadly their missionary status will not allow them to use the internet for two years. By that time it will probably no longer exist since it is obviously a fad anyway. But if they could, the links above would be of great interest. Sister Viola was informed it was her "Ohian native", of the Shoshone Tribe, <a href="http://digital.library.okstate.edu/Chronicles/v012/v012p264.html" target="_blank">Tecumseh and his brother the prophet, Tensquatawa</a>, who brought ideas of murder and blood to the underappreciated "red stick" Creeks - leading to the massacre at Fort Mims among other sad consequences. But, other Ohioans - since the "late unpleasantness" of 1865 anyway, have been quite civil among the people of Northwest Florida.<br />

It is a fascinating topic as a lot of Panhandle farmers and merchants and tradesmen did not follow the Confederate line and provided a ready resource for this unit. It was not unusual for dissatisfied Confederates to desert <br />
and join the Union First Cavalry. It was trying times of course and such moves were risky. She recently spoke at the Genealogical Society of Santa Rosa County.<br />

Hopefully we will make it easy for our contributing writers to post FIRST to this medium and then share to our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/126137434086313/" target="_blank">facebook page</a>. IF we accomplish that for most stories - we will have a "bundle" of readily indexed topics that can easily be shared on ANY social media or email. Its a thought.<br />
<br />
I have initially invited to be admin or authors on the page - FOUR JHS contributors. <b>WHEN I have </b><br />
<b>good email addresse</b>s I will "invite" more to make it easy to post here and edit your work here.<br />
B. Boutwell, D. Diamond, S. Moore, E. Crews. <br />
<br />
Please let me ( <a href="mailto:vic@BUZZCREEK.COM">vic@BUZZCREEK.COM</a>) know if you want to be a contributor and I can simply add you to the author contributors. Not ALL posts are stories -- some will be news about the society. But many will find this a much more flexible platform to share stories and promote the enjoyment of our history. Posting here is very easy and also easy to edit. You can even add video links to youtube and photos. It is very flexible.BUZZ CREEKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04866088379634990967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814206532282001535.post-39394884995607001352016-03-12T19:54:00.001-08:002016-03-12T19:54:00.694-08:00The Way We Worked Introduction<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tB0LYSd3u6I" width="459"></iframe>'<br /><br />
