  Origins

  Notes	Uncle Dick, to my grandfather John Lansdale Jr. He was named for his uncle Richard Hyatt. He is not living with his mother and siblings in the 1900 census, when he would have been about 17. The picture is of him, Olivia, and their daughter Margaret. The picture is taken at the house at Elmhurst. He ran the Sherwood Mill, served as Sherriff, County Commissioner, and was elected to the Maryland Legislature in 1926. Olivia Lansdale once operated "Central," the telephone exchange. The picture of Elmhurst, from the "Sandy Spring" section of the on-line Sandy Spring Museum website, has this caption: Snow-clad Elmhurst has housed the Lansdale family for nearly a century. Next to it stood the landmark Sherwood Roller Mill which Richard H. Lansdale acquired in 1912. Son Thomas F. Lansdale, also a miller, joked in later years that he could boast of three things: He lived in the house he was born in (Elmhurst), he never drove a car to work -- and he took a nap every afternoon. At Elmhurst Pat Lansdale [see the next generation, the wife of Tom] ran her successful flower business, choreographing floral decorations for many of the region's most prestigious events.
