Thanks again, Barbara---------I found it. I also found the death notice for
Miles' son George Miles in 1914.
In reading that Miles was a reader of the Baltimore Sun for 60yrs., I know that
He had been living in Md. Since 1859, at least.
You and Catherine are obviously more experienced than I.

I entered his name on the general search page as Miles Gearhart and it came up under the historical documents tab. If you have problems with it, I can send it to you. I also located a death notice for another West Friendship Gearhart by limiting the search to Pennsylvania and Maryland and using only the Gearhart last name in the search.

I found a great many other obituaries and a marriage notice of Gearhart family members in both Pennsylvania and Maryland newspapers covering at least 1860-1920 on genealogybank.

Does your Miles Gearhart have any connection in 1885 with West Friendship, Maryland? I found a historical document on Genealogybank that lists a Miles Gearhart in 1885 as working for the post office contracted to carry the mail between West Friendship and Sykesville, Maryland. If you wish a copy, let me know.

Also so found the identifying information for an 1892 insolvency case of Henry A. Garhart.  I suspect this might only be available in person at the Maryland State Archives, but if you do head to Maryland, it's another item to look for.  http://www.carr.org/ccgs/documents/Insolvencies.pdf

Peggy, Cemetery listing at http://files.usgwarchives.net/md/howard/cemeteries/mtview.txt gives his death date and his wife's.  (Mary Jane).  Also, gives their marriage date.

Peggy, a family tree of Janelle Deelstra on ancestry has Henry dying in Baltimore in 1924.  I found his death certificate number, D-86920 at http://www.mdvitalrec.net/cfm/index.cfm .  Do you already have his death record?  If not, you might want to order it via that website; it might give the names of his parents.
