0 'I Remember, I Remember' Who Were The Sinnetts? By Minnie Hite Moody Three houses on College Street, Granville, in the block between Prospect and Main Streets, are long-ago homes of the Sinnett family. The Granville Library, on the south side of Broadway, stands on the site of the former home of Dr. Edwin Sinnett, with the house itself moved to the rear and now standing in Library Court. Dr. Sinnett's later home is the handsome stone house atop Mt.

Parnassus, now the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Shoemaker.

Dr. Sinnett built the house in facsimile of a manor house which caught his fancy one day when he was traveling in the north of England. Newcomers ask me, "Where did all these Sinnetts come from?" Well, they have been here just about as long as there has been a Granville, for the first local Sinnett, James, arrived with his family on Nov. 20, 1805, in the fourth of those various companies I mentioned the other day as coming to settle Granville just 160 years ago. Please don't think that I am disregarding the third company, for I shall return to it later.

Convicted Slayer Gives Himself Up YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio 'A convicted slayer accused of entering a Youngstown home and shooting three members of a family is held without bond after pleading innocent to a charge of first degree-murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. The charges were filed against George Gavin, 36, of Youngstown, Monday just an hour before he surrendered to a parole officer, saying he was afraid someone would shoot him. His preliminary hearing has been set for Nov. 23. Gavin is charged with the slaying of Mrs.

Jennie Lozoway, 44, and the wounding of her son, George, 15, and her daughter, Donna, 17. Police said he held the Lozoway family at gunpoint for nearly two hours after Mrs. Lozoway was shot last Thursday night, ignoring pleas to take her to a hospital. Gavin gave himself up to parole officer Frank Singletory. Police said he admitted being in the Lozoway.

Of Robert Jr.

and his sister, Hepzibah, there is little record beyond the dates of their birth. at age 39, in 1775, and as both he and his brother, James, took part in the Crown Point Expedition in May of that year, we may assume that John perished in the expedition, as his record stops there and the dates coincide. He served under Col. Nobel and held Pew 30 in the Blandford Church--su are the scant facts we know, except that he married Margaret McCreelus and had five children, of whom the oldest was the James Sinnett who came to Granville in 1805. Of James and Polly's nine children, the oldest, John Sinnet, born 1791, died in Granville Sept.

15, 1813, aged 22 years. His grave is No. 818 in the Old Colony Burying Ground and his tombstone verse reads: "Brother thou art gone to rest, Thy toils and cares are o're, And sorrow, pain and suffering now Shall ne'er distress thee more." The widowed Polly evidently lost two other young sons by death: James aged 16, and Lothrop, aged 12, whose graves are No. 816 and No. 817 in the burying ground.

They must have been six and four years of age when they made the long trip to Granville by oxcart. The second son, Allen Sinnett, married Nancy Blanchard and had eight children, among them the Charles and John Allen Sinnett whom I mentioned the other day in this column, and Dr. Edwin Sinnett, whom I mention often. John Allen Sinnett's oldest son was William Hugh Sinnett, who was killed in June, 1880, when he fell from an excursion car bearing a crowd of Granville people to an ice cream social in Alexandria soon after the partial completion of the railroad tracks (later T. 0.

William Sinnett's granddaughter, Mabel Richards James (Mrs. Frank James) of Ohio 37, Lancaster Road, Granville, kindly gave me some of these facts from a genealogy of the Sinnett family recently compiled by a California kinsman of hers. He informs her that the original spelling of the name Sinnett was "Synagh," and that further variations of the name include Synnot, Sinnet, Synnett and Sinnott. save save 5212 on one pound FLEISCHMANN'S Lightly Salted or Unsalted MARGARINE Heischmann's leischmanns Margarine Margarine Te The Dealer: For each coupon you accept as our authorized agent, we will pay you the face value plus handling charges, provided you and your customer have complied with the terms of this offer; any other application constitutes fraud.

Doctors Assist In Registration Of Drug Effects NEW YORK Since the wave of birth malformations linked to the drug thalidomide, two private associations and a federal agency have set up a registry for reports on drug side effects. Doctors send tissue specimens to the registry whenever a drug reaction is suspected.

The registry is maintained by the Food and Drug Administration, American Medical Association and Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association. The Canadian Maritime Provinces need 500 to 600 doctors to catch up with population growth, authorities say. Investors' Guide Newark (O.) Nov. 17, Advocate 1965 25 When To Cash Bonds to to- By Sam be Shulsky With billions of U.S. bonds held by millions of investors, it's only natural that every day's mail should bring some queries about this widely held, but complicated, securty.

Perhaps the most common question is: What is the best time to cash in an bond? What with the many changes in bond maturities and, as a result in earning power, that's not an easy question to answer. However, some points can be made: bonds' redemption values increase in annual steps, up to years. Further, each bond is consdered as issued on the first day of the month appearing on the face of the bond. Thus, even though you may buy a bond around the 23rd of the month, the issue date (and interest date) is considered as of the first of that month. A $100 face value bond, purchased for $75, has a redemption value of $75 during the first 6 months of its life.

the second half (when it is to 1 year old) it is worth $75.64 and in the third half year (when it is 1 to years old) it is worth $76.76. Since interest is added only at one-half year intervals, up to years, it should be obthat the best time to cash a bond is one day AFTER it has passed a semi-annual birthday. If you wait another 5 months, plus or until just BEFORE its next semi-annual birthday you won't gain a penny for your waiting. So if you have a series of bonds which you have been buying periodically on payroll deduction, for example -you will get the best value if you select for redemption one which has just passed an interest accrual date. The question of when to cash a large number of bonds which one has been accumulating over a long period of years for retirement, for example, is not so simple to handle.

Because of the aforementioned changes in maturites over the years, various bonds grow in value at different rates over different periods of time- even though the straight rate for their entire maturity is now per cent, compounded semiannually. There can be many variations not always obvious. For example, in this month of November, a $50 face value bond, bought April 1, 1955 for $37.50, can be redeemed for $52.18, whereas a bond not bought until Sept. 30, that same year, would command a redemption price this month of $52.32, or 14 cents more. So, before you cash in any bonds, it would be best to invest 15 cents in a "Table of Redemption Values for U.S.

Now to add another complicating factor: Every savings bond buyer should know that all bonds grow at an accelerating rate. That is, a $100 face value bond will add only $1.12. in value to its $75 purchase price from the time it passes its first 6 months until it becomes one year old. But from its 6th to its year birthday, it will add $1.84 and from 7 years to years, it adds $1.92. It follows, then, that a bond nearing its first maturity is growing at a faster rate than it did in its earlier years and for that matter, at a rate higher than it will grow in its extenson period.

So, agan, if you must choose between cashing a bond which is only 2 years old and another which is only a year away from maturity, it might be well to take the slighty lower cash value on the younger bond in favor of retaining the higher growth rate contained in the older bond. The rates of growth of a bond both during the years it has been outstanding and during the remainng years to its maturity, and even into its extension period are spelled out in the ure "Offering of U.A.

Scowden was fatally shot through the head in Columbus Oct. 2 and Quesenberry met a similar fate near West Jefferson Nov. 11.
