Notebook
Ida Kisser s
For some reason, I’ve
been interested in geneaolgy
and old records for a long
time. I’m beginning to think
that I inherited the tendency
toward a great interest in
ancestors and history.
While we sort through old
papers in my mother’s attic,
we come across records of
family members who lived
two and three generations
before us and beside each
birthday is listed the sign
under which they were bom-
Gemmi, Leo, Libra, etc.
There are wills and very old
deeds written in 1769. It is
fascinating to read them and
see which nephew was not
included in dividing an
estate. One wonders what he
did to be excluded!
I had a great uncle whose
last name was Sheibly.
However, I notice that the
spelling was changed over
the years. It started out as
Scheively, then Sheibley and
finally to the present
spelling.
Another thing that
bothered me a bit was the
fact that though the women

signed the deeds tran
sferring a farm to a son,
someone else did the actual
signing while they merely
made their mark-an “X”.
Apparently, it wasn’t im
portant for girls to have even
enough education to be able
to sign their own names in
the 1700 s. Maybe there was
no school where they could
be taught, but then how did
the men leam?
One old paper which I’ve
had for a while (as I bought
some of my uncle’s scrap
books at his sale ten years
ago) tells of an agreement
between his grandfather and
some neighbors, including
John Weidler who formerly
lived on our farm, spelling
out exactly how high “the
water on the Conestoga may
be dammed up by the grist,
merchant and saw null near
their plantations. ”
It mentions where each
iron pin is fixed in a sloping
rock and how many inches
from the center it may raise
when the dam is exactly full.
It states where the pins are

YORK If you are trying
to keep the family budget in
the black and still serve
healthy, nutritious meals to
your family, you should be
aware of the labels on the
foods you buy.
Nutrition information
labels are required by law on
all foods which have
nutrients added or which
make a nutritional claim on
the label or in their ad
vertisements, says Marceil
Seckman, home economist
Currently, nutrition
labeling on all other foods is
voluntary. But consumer
demand and competition
have encouraged the
labeling of most foods
regardless of regulatory
law.
This nutrition information
is a simple listing of the
nutritive values in an
average serving. The
number of servings in a
package is also listed.
Nutritive values are given
as a percentage of U.S.
I fin IlyrEt#
in relation to my present
dwelling house.
And to top off the unusual
appeal of this agreement
dated in 1861, is the fact that
it was written and sealed by
my great, great grandfather
Henry Shremer who was a
justice of the peace for 43
years and a surveyor for 61
years. He was also a teacher
and a farmer in Manheim
Township.

Recommended Dietary
Allowance for that nutrient.
RDA’s are standards that
serve as goals for good
nutrition and are established
by the Food and Nutrition
Board of the National
Academy of
Science/National Research
Council. They are based on
existing knowledge of
nutrients judged to be
adequate to meet the known
nutritional needs of prac
tically all healthy persons.

Except for foods aimed at
a particular group such as
babies, RDA’s are
calculated for adult males
whose requirements are
usually greatest. Women, of
course, greater
amounts of iron, so that RDA
for iron is based on their
needs.
