FAMILY HISTORIES TRAGED TO ORIGIN Miss S. Helen Fields Complet- ing Genealogical Record of. Interest to Thousands. .mnhnc work of unusual in- terest to thousands of families throu out me " United States, which is attract- ing the attention of historians and ge-hum of the District of Columbis, nsylvania and many other parts of the country, has been nearly completed by Miss S. Helen Fields of this city. It will furnish the only record in existence of the beginings of many of the most prominent families of this country. Miss Fields has made a “translation” | of a little known diary kept for 40 years by Rev. John Cuthbertson, a_mission: | the automobile in which they were rid- edly brought with him from Scotland was carried with him during his | entire ministry of nearly 40 years. Invaded Unbroken Forests. “In his time he traveled, mostly on horseback, what would be a distance of almest three times around the world. His course was through the unbroken forests. He eneounund deep SnNOWS and raging blizzards, scorchi sun and heavy rains. He braved d Dbeasts, vencmous serpents and savage India Every fl!u he officiated at a mar- riage ceremony or a baptism he made a note of it in his diary, with the date and the names. For 138 years the little leather-bound booklet has been pre- served, but up to this time it has never been indexed nor has it been available for consultation by the general public. CROSSING CRASH KILLS FIVE WOMEN IN TEXAS b By the Associated Press. | DALLAS, Tex., November 22.—Five | | women were killed here yesterday when | ing crashed into a motor car of the Santa Fe Railroad. ‘The accident occurred on the East Grand avenue pike near White Rock semt out by the Covenanter Societies of | Beotland, who came to America in 1751 | and died jn Pennsylvania in 1791. For | eight months she has been engaged in | the arduous task of indexing this diarv which contains the records of nearly nn baptisms, marriages of more than | persons and other data which is | Innn-bh to genealogists. | The diary itself, which is full of ab- ! brm and private symbols, is only 314 inches wide, 4! inches long and about 1 inch thick. But when “trans- mat into plain English it occuples 440 large typewritten pages of manuscript. The index, which will contain every reference to a name in the diary, will make a volume in itself. Authority on Early Settlers. The diary is an authority on names of the early settlers in the Cum- berland Valley region of Pennsylvnia, whose descendants are scattered far and wide over the United States and Can- ads. The little book is carefully pre- served in the vaults of the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary of the United Presbyterian Church. Miss Fields went to Pittsburgh last April and obtained permission to make a copy of it. Since it became known that she was on the index Miss Fields has requests from the library of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion here, from the Pennsylvanian State Library at Harrisburg, and from other organizations and individuals interested in genealogy and the early history of the country for coples of the work. ‘Without the index the diary is of very _lttle use as & work of reference, be- cause of the difficulty of finding the names scattered through it, many of ‘which are abbreviated and spelled In different ways.
