I also know where the town of Walk Chalk is located, I have researched cemeteries in that area. Libby

> > Dear Libby I think I have the same book. My great grand mother was a Bargerstock. The first name slips my mind right now! She married James Orr and they had 14 children . One was my grandfather George Lawson Orr. What do you know we are related!!!
> Nancy: Henry Bargerstock married Mary Neal. They had a daughter Harriet Francis Bargerstock who married James R. Orr. They had 14 children: George L. Orr married Edna O. Brown. George Orr born Dec. 29, 1894 died April 16,1960, buried in Kittanning Cemetery, Kittanning, Pa. Edna O. Brown Orr born Nov. 20, 1897 died Oct. 08, 1973. They had the following children: Robert R. Orr, Harriet Orr, Virginia Orr. Would you please forward the dates on your father, Robert R. Orr and his place of burial. I have no children listed for Robert, Harriet or Virginia. This family would be on page 90 of the Bargerstock family book, written by my sister, Virginia Bargerstock Snyder and Arlene Bargerstock in 1965. Libby
