Following are excerpts from Egle's Notes and Queries: Chiefly Relating to Interior Pennsylvania, edited by William Henry Egle, MD MA. Originally, this was a weekly column that ran in the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph during the 1890's and included a variety of family history submissions from several counties around Dauphin. Later, Egle compiled the articles into volumes. Eva Draegert Schory, PhD, created the Everyname Index to Egle's Notes and Queries making this valuable series even more accessible.

In October and November of 2000, Laura Deibler Darr posted a list of deaths from the Millersburg area of the Dauphin County List. The list was originally compiled by her father's great aunt. Laura relates that "My father had a great aunt, Katherine E. Schaeffer Ditty (1868-1943), who was a widower for many years, and had no children. She was a compulsive note writer. I have a notebook of hers into which she wrote deaths in the Millersburg area for the years 1914-1926."
