"There is A man of strength,wisdom and a awesome Guide who my mom and her siblings along with Texas Government feared back in the early 1970s his name was Indian Joe who was fighting Government who was trying to steal his land. He no doubt scared my great uncle Skipper POWELL and my uncle Utzi and my mom many others almost to their deaths they told story of. Even houston newspapers and news had him all wrong. I honesty know for fact he is good man. Indian Joe is my spiritual friend who has kept me protected for anytime evil entered my land he made it known to everyone one these men around conroe once you walk inside Unique Lady Kittyz gate you want ever forget oh Indian Joe. Gabriel,Derek,John Weaver and many more men tell you Indian Joe Scared the poop out them. They would never enter inside her gate again. That's why i say he my friend and special to me for he sang a song with the red cardinals that lead me to mystery of mother missing 2yrs. She found and will be going home soon. Indian Joe says he will always keep her protected and the bird's along with the mother ,and him will continue to singing every day at 445am till 7am so her son knows she with him everyday.."

I have an old studio photograph of Fred LOVELL of Syracuse, NY which was taken at the Winter's Studio in Syracuse, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Fred appearing to be in his 30's at the time the photograph was taken. Fred is identified as "Uncle" and notes also indicate "Ida B. SMITH sister" and Fannie LOVELL married Fred LOVELL". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Fred and his family:
Frederick “Fred” Spaulding LOVELL was b. July 1860 or 1862 in Kane County, IL to parents Hiram McLallen LOVELL (1836-1912) and Frances E. SPAULDING (1839-1920) who were married in Montour Falls, NY in 1859. Fred had one sibling, a sister Mary “Matie” or “Mattie” L. LOVELL BECKER (1864-1936). Fred married Fannie Mae WALKER (1862-1951 dau of Margaret WALKER) in 1888 in Syracuse, NY and was a Clothing Manufacturer in Syracuse. Fred died 7 Sept 1927 in Syracuse, NY and is buried in the Grove Cemetery in Trumansburg, NY.
I would like to get the photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,

In the time just before WW1, a crude bus line was established to link Pittsburgh's suburb of Emsworth, Pennsylvania with the somewhat affluent community of Ben Avon Heights.
The primitive transit link connected the Emsworth Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad ((with regular local passenger trains operationing to and from Pittsburgh as well as westward to Beaver County, PA)) and the countless homes where many of the riders worked as maids. Hence the local run came to be referred to as "The Maid's Bus".
This bus also made further connections in Emsworth, PA with electric "T" trolleys operating as run #13-EMSWORTH. Countless home attendants connected from the trolleys or trains in Emsworth to their jobs.
The run continued to serve riders into the pre-PRT era as Port Authority route #20A BEN AVON HEIGHTS until 1970.
