THE FLEMING FAMILY NEWSLETTER

WINTER/SPRING 2007

      Here is everything from the Winter/Spring newsletter except the picture. When I find out how to put pictures on the web site, I'll put them on, too. The conclusion of Carl McDonald's Occupation of Italy letters will be found in the section so-called, and you will also find the new installment of the Fleming Family History. I have also put many of the stories and documents from earlier newletters on this web site. If you think of something you would like to see on this web site, please let me know. From now on the Newseltter will be found here, so please let us know you are finding it here, and we can save postage. And please tell your relatives about our web-site so that they can read it, too. Putting all our family documents on one web-site reminds me of how much family history we have available. But we always have room for more, and if you have any documents relating to our family history send them in, and we will add them.

2006 REUNION THE BEST IN YEARS

                            The 2006 Fleming Reunion held at the McDonald Homestead near Barlow was one of the best attended in years with 36 present. Your editor thought it would attract locals curious to see how Janette had remodeled the old homestead, but was gratified to find that this reunion attracted folks who drove long distances to renew their family history. The number almost put a strain on the capacity of the house, Janette has nicely furnished the whole first floor with old and new furniture to allow us to spread out in small groups.

     We want to thank Janette McDonald for hosting the Reunion this year and her sister and brother-in-law Charlene and Larry Stefan for their help in the preparations and cleanup. Only one person contacted me about what to bring, but I must have scared people away from the Colonel, because the only chicken we had was not KFC. This time we had a nice variety of vegetables and more than enough dessert of all sorts, so pot-luck worked out well.
     It was a gloriously sunny day, a little chilly for standing outside to take our group picture, but great for driving. Unless like your editor you came east into the rising sun in the morning ans west into the setting sun in the evening..      One of the newcomers was Forrest Dunsmoor from Brunswick, Ohio, who brought two grandsons, Joseph and David Hubbel. We haven't had someone from the Dunsmoor line for a long time, so many branches of the family were represented.
     Todd Lambert came the farthest, from New Mexico. He recently moved there from Alton, Illinois. He is the proud possessor of a rocker that family tradition holds is Jane Colville Fleming's nursing rocker brought over from Scotland. He also owns a Scottish Bible–not the Family Bible with the records, but a family study Bible in large print. I hope I got that right. He promised that if he ever has the chance to drive back to the Reunion, he will bring them for show-and tell.
     The oldest person attending was Orland Davis, 94, who used to be a regular with his wife Grace McDonald Davis but has not attended since she became incapacitated in her last years. He reminisced that he lived at the McDonald house in his Junior year, 1928-1929, and received his first kiss from Grace at the top of the stairs, she on the top step, and he one step down.
     Another couple vying for long-distance honors were Emerson and Ruth [McVey] Henry, form Chesapeake, Virginia. They also possess articles including a Bible and a school bell from the ealry history of the family.
     Jack Flemming of Athens and a teacher in Belpre is our President and presided over the Business meeting. He is in the James Fleming line. His wife was not able to be present because after retiring from her Deanship at Ohio University, she has chosen to make a second career and is studying at the Theological Seminary at Capital University, and her studies called her away. I don't remember that we had an election of officers, so I guess Jack is President next year.
     Frances Irvin was present with her mother and brother Ross. She is still working tirelessly on the genealogy and has put it on a CD. Many new branches have been added since the last edition and many pictures and other information. The CD looks very professional with a photo John and Jane's tombstones on the disk. She is selling them for $5 each which just covers the cost and postage. If you would like one, write her at: Frances Irvin, 6 Rose Ave, Mount Vernon, OH 43050. We're sorry not to have a printed volume at this time, but the current edition runs to 550 pages.
     Other attendees included Charles and Oleta Lawton, Irvin and Mary An Lawton, Lester Seaman, Reda & Clarence Nichols, from the neighborhood, Rev. Stacy and Cheryl Evans from Nelsonville and his mother Helen from Lowell, Ed & Cathy Engle from Marietta, Ray & Winnifred Harra from Stockport, Sally Hale, Dale Henry from Belpre, Bonita Matthews form Cincinnati, Elinor Atkinson, Sharon Moore, Patty Hayter from Waterford, Michigan, Kathleen Blumenschine from Kenton, Ohio, and Myrtle Blauser McVicar.
     A collection was taken up, which netted over $100. We have not had a Reunion Fund recently, so it was decided to create and maintain one for postage and other necessities. Copntact Frances if you want to contribute. Any surplus will be applied to the Cemetery Fund.
     Your Editor was determined to make this a kid-friendly reunion. Unfortunately we didn't actually have any younger kids, but he did bring some antique toys for display.

2007 REUNION IS NOT SO FAR AWAY!

The 2007 Reunion will be held at the historic Barber House on Fort Street in the Harmar section of Marietta. This was the home of the late Florence Flemming Engle, and before that of her parents Ed and Lucy Cole Flemming. Lucy Cole inherited the house from her mother who was the descendant of Levi Barber, who built the house in 18–. Now Ed and Cathy Engle have returned to Marietta to take up residence in the family home, and they have invited us to share the Reunion with them next year. You don't need an address, because the historic house sits opposite the point where the Muskingum joins the Ohio, Fort Street is a short street, and there is a bronze historical marker in the front yard. There are many houses in use older than the Barber house, but very few that have been in the family of the builder all that time.

      I said you don't need an address to find the house, but the Post Office needs one to deliver a letter. Cathy has graciously volunteered to send out the announcements of the 2007 Reunion, and to save her postage, it would be helpful of you to you to drop her a note asking her to send you an announcement. The address is 407 Fort Street, Marietta OH, 45750. His e-mail is: ecengle@peoplepc.com

WE'VE SET UP A NEW FUND!

      At the Reunion, it was decided that we need a contingency fund for Reunion & mailing expenses, so we voted to set one up. A collection was taken up to start the fund, and $177 was available to start the fund. Frences reports that she set it up at the Citizedn Bankof Beverly, and requires her signature and Janette MeDonald's.

      So don't send me any money. Send it to
     :     Frances Irvin
     :     6 Rose Ave.
     :     Mt. Vernon OH 43050
and make it out to: Fleming Reunion Fund.
      Any surplus will go into the Cemetery Fund And if you want to contribute to the Cemetery Fund, send it to Frances and note that it is for that fund.
      Also, if you want one of the CD's that Frances has created with the latest edition of the family genealogy, you can get one from Frances for $5, which just covers production and postage.

GOOD-BYE, FOR NOW

         This will be the last Fleming Family Newsletter, at least for a while, unless somebody else takes up the banner. I have joined the Peace Corps and will be leaving for Albania in late March. After ten weeks of language and cultural training, I will begin a two-year stint teaching English as a Foreign Language and helping train English teachers in Albania.

         This won't be my first foreign adventure. I taught English in Uruguay and Costa Rica, and was with the Peace Corps in Poland from 1990-1994. I decided I wanted one more adventure before I was put out to the rocking chair, and will have the adventure in Albania.
         For those of you who are map-challenged, Albania is just across the Adriatic Sea from Italy, so it is convenient to the rest of Europa and to flights home if I need one. Albanian is an Indo-European language along with English, Latin, Greek, Russian, Persian, and Sanscrit, but a branch all its own.
         Before I leave Europe, I hope to visit Scotland and do some research on our Fleming history.
         I've always intended the Newsletter to be not just a genealogical newsletter, but one which places us and our family in history. That is, when we read about the Civil War, it isn't just something that happened to strangers 145 years ago, but something that happened to our own great-grandfathers and their cousins. Likewise, the First and Second World Wars and other landmarks of our history. I don't get feedback from school kids, but I hope that exposure to what your own flesh and blood were dong lets you know that this is your history, too. Likewise Scottish history, since our ancestors were involved with it before they emigrated.
         Though there won't be a Newsletter, history goes one, and our research. I've set up a web-site at www.flemingsoffleming.com to continute the history, genealogy, and family news. Other people will be managing it, besides me from afar.
         Likewise, I've set up a web-site to tell my adventures in Albania. It is called www.geezer-inalbania.com They will be linked, so I hope you visit them in the meantime.
         This Newsletter is paid for, so don't send me any money.
