The database page for Raymond
Paul Mc Mahon
Ray Mc Mahon was a kind and
gentle soul who was full of great potential. He gave the last full measure of
devotion to his country in Cambodia on June 4, 1970. Charlie Company lost 18
other young men between March and June of that year in both Vietnam and
Cambodia. Our unit, the 7th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry was the unit George
Custer commanded at the Little Big Horn massacre a century before and it seemed
we enjoyed much of the same luck.
I feel that Mac saved my life
by his kindness and the life of Jimmy Smith by his heroism the day he was
killed. We had humped 5 clicks or so that day and were in the process of
establishing our perimeter and night defensive positions when one of our
automatics exploded. Ray told our squad to saddle up to check it out. Since I
was digging our hole and “short” with a month left Mac told me to stay in and
finish the NPD. Within 10 minutes I heard AK, M16 and M60 fire along with
grenade explosions. Ray was alive when they carried him into the perimeter but
he died before the Med-a-Vac chopper arrived. He drowned as his lungs filled
with blood from his chest wound. I was told that they had found a dead NVA
regular at the automatic site and blood trails leading away. Mac and Smitty
were in the process of removing intelligence from the dead NVA when other NVA
appeared on the trail and started firing.
Mac pushed Smitty down and in
doing so took a round in the chest.
I went back to D.C. to thank
Mac and also visit the others on June 4, 2000, three decades after his death. I
still think about Mac every day. Had he lived he would have made a positive
difference in this world. I know he did for Smitty and I that day in Cambodia.
God bless you and keep you,
Mac.

MURPHY~ FINAN
misc.
Murphy/Sweeney,
POSTED BY BOB SWEENEY ON Ancestry.com
Sharon: There
were at least two major Murphy families in Sullivan County. I would suggest you
first look at the 1880 and 1900 partial censuses that we have on the site and
see if you can find a John Murphy in the right age cohort. You could even go
back as far as 1870.
My great aunt Ella Sweeney married Chris Murphy, who was a son of one of one of
these families. However, I do not have personal knowledge of which one. Another
prospect, if you know or can guess the marriage date, is that we can ask one of
our regular researchers to check the Sullivan Review for that time period and
see what we can find out.
The Streby History of 1903, which we have also posted on our site, provides
some biographical information on a Murphy family as well. You might look
there. Bob Sweeney

Cadden/Murphy Ancestry.com
1st:
From the many volumed "MISSING FRIENDS",(Lib. ref. # 974.461
-Ref), vol. 5, years 1861 to 1865, I found an entry that i felt is very likely
the Thomas I am looking for, so here is what it says:
"OF PATRICK CADEN, of Eneaghbeg, parish Crossmolina (Co. Mayo), who came
to America in 1849; when last heard from 2 years ago, he was working on the
Sunsbury & Erie Railroad. Any information concerning him will be thankfully
received by his brother THOMAS, who came here last
spring (1861), or his uncle, Patrick Fleming, Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co. PA."
From the "HISTORY OF SULLIVAN COUNTY" published in Late 19th or early
20th century, it states my ancestor grandfather Thomas (?Joseph)Cadden was born
in CO. Mayo, and located in PITTSTON, PA, where he was a miner. He married a
Margaret Welsh in 1862, (but don't know if this was in
Pittston county unknown to me) or Sullivan Co.). In 1880 they moved to Cherry
(bought James Deegan Farm)(DuShore PA) and they had 11 children:

And that is it for 1870. My ancestor does not appear to be on here, nor his
family.
For Pennsylvania marriages prior to 1790:
" September 8 1772, Elizabeth Pollard Married Daniel Cadden"
(I don't know where.)
My Caddens settled in N.E. Pennsylvania, but we are missing a brother of our
immigrant Cadden, who we believe may have been named Patrick, and my
Grandfather's Uncle John Cadden went missing from records in Sullivan Co,. PA.
There were only 6 Cadden births in Ireland about 100 years ago, and there is
some derivation on the origin of the name. I have a very old Gaelic genealogy
that says the name was originally from Mayo area, and was CAITHAN. They were
baronial land overseers for the pope about 800 years ago. (if not longer) But I
have seen claims made that the name is from Co. Armagh, and was from the Gaelic
Machoiden. And is now connected to the MacAdam name. I am not in agreement with
this. I believe the Caithan to be correct. For one thing the English phonetic
pronounciation is CADDEN, and I think the other is for those using the name
MacCadden.

Jerome N. Ortlieb The
Sullivan Review, 11-14-1928
Jerome N. Ortlieb died Wednesday
morning at his home on Carpenter Street following an illness of about two years
at the age of 70 years. He is survived by his wife, one daughter,
Miss Coloma Ortlieb, R.N., three sons, John of San Francisco, Calif., Otto and
Bernard J. Ortlieb of this place, also three grandchildren.
Funeral service will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock in Zion Lutheran
Church, with interment in the Thrasher cemetery.
An appreciation of the late Jerome N. Ortlieb (contributed by his Pastor) The Sullivan Review. 11-28-1928
Jerome Napoleon Ortlieb came from German ancestry; his father Benedict having
been an immigrant married
Lena Litzelman.
Jerome born in Dushore, February 3, 1859 was one of the children of this union
and who in childhood became identified with the Lutheran church and was brought
up under its spiritual and moral nurture.
Not always but frequently men choose the calling of their fathers. Jerome
followed his father’s trade and took up apprenticeship; learned carpentering
and cabinet making and in the use of saw, plane and chisel became a master,
displaying the skill and talent of a great artist in wood.
His late residence on Carpenter Street stands as a splendid witness to his
genius. The hardwood floors of checkerboard design tongued and grooved; the
doors and window frames of cherry inlaid with ash and trimmed with walnut; the
molding and corners, and the grills and scrolls of woodwork; the massive office
desks, tables, bookracks, and other accessories, all of them the product of his
patient, untiring handiwork present a project of accomplishment that amazes
anyone who understands the nature of such workmanship. It reveals a unique
constructive capacity.
In brother Jerome, honesty was coupled with genius. Whether he built a barn or
made a parlor ornament he applied the same pains and produced a finished job,
well done. Surely in words of Holy writ he was a “workman that needeth not to
be ashamed”. The Almighty Maker could say of His creation: “It is very good.”
In some such spirit of satisfaction this human mechanic was wont to look upon
his “creations”
We remember the subject of this sketch as head member of the firm known as the
Dushore Construction Company.
During an illness of more than a year, which slowly sapped his strength, Mr.
Ortlieb displayed the same calmness of temperament and unfailing patience as in
his days of activity at the carpenter bench never murmuring he bore his
sufferings like a Christian martyr. The remembrance of this good man, now
departed, remains with us like the precious odor of spikenard.
A gentle husband, kind father, accommodating neighbor and upright citizen, he
was respected and highly esteemed, for the substantial qualities of character
he possessed. Released from all earthly sufferings at eleven o’clock Wednesday,
November 14, 1928, our friend entered into life.
The funeral services were held in Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Pastor W.H.
Fehr officiating. The funeral address was based on the words of St. Paul 2 Cor.
5:1 “We know… we have a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens.”
Mr. Ortlieb was married twice. His first wife was Diana Frey daughter of Mr.
& Mrs. John Frey. Six years after her death Jerome was wedded to his
surviving widow, Jenny McHenry Ortlieb. A daughter Miss Coloma Ortlieb, R.N.,
three sons, John, of San Francisco, Calif., Otto and Bernard of Dushore; two
sisters Miss Mary Ortlieb, and Mrs. Floyd Palmer of Auburn, NY and two brothers
Morris Ortlieb of Rochester and Victor of Hollenback and three grandchildren
remain to mourn his demise.
His age was 69 years 9 months and 11 days.
It is a big thing to have lived this life aright; to have met the obligations
of manhood squarely, and to have borne its responsibilities in an honorable
way. Many and trying are petty aggravations. Heavy and grievous to be borne is
the cross. “Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.”

Hello there,

Dear madam, sir,
I am looking for the parents of my great-great-grandmother Cornelia RADJA.
She was the mother of Louise Carolina Geertruida SICK, born at Kupang on Timor
on February 11 1864.
Her nickname was Lies. She married my great grandfather Pieter POSTHUMUS in
1882 at Koepang.
The familystory is that Cornelia RADJA is the daughter of the Radja of Savu and
the princes of Seba, the (main) harbourtown of the island Savu neat Timor.
As it is virtually impossible to obtain information from the Indonesian State
archives due to the riots on the island, I wonder if there is another
possibility to find out this information?
my email address is: nnpposthumus@hotmail.com
I would appreciate any assistance given.
Kind regards, Nickolas
Posthumus (Castricum, the Netherlands)
