To Cousin Joyce: At home so am contacting you through this site.Our great grandfather Mahlon Melanchthon Waltermyer was indeed born in 1859 and died in 1921.I believe he is burried in Winding Hill Cemetery, Cumberland County. I was told they were married in Frostburg, Maryland around 1880.The county court house in Frostburg had no record and advised of other contacts.Mahlon and Lizzie had 9 children: Albert (1881-1900), Elmer (1883-1973), Arthur (1886-1957), Howard (1888-1914), Laura (1895-1976), Gladys (1907-1978), Emma (1894-1894), Violet (1892-1892) and Wilbert (1902-1902).All childlren born in Bowmansdale except Gladys.Other spellings of our name probably include: Haltermyer, Waldemeyer, Waltemyer, Waltermire. Family originated either in the Netherlands or more likely in Saxony, a province of Germany.Have a picture of Mahlon and a few of the children.I can scan it and send it to you. For picture, contact me at [email protected] cousin, Susan
