There is another plausible town--Huntsdale PA. The record pretty clearly indicates a "t" in there. Though not necessarily probative, Huntsdale is closer to Gallitzin, where Joseph is living in 1900, than Honesdale is.

Thanks Janet, Huntsdale, Cumberland County, PA is closer to Gallitzin, Cambria County, PA where they did live in 1900. On Andrew Bolha's second trip (under name Andras Bollia in 1909) he claimed to have lived in Windber, PA between 1896-1906. Found him with family in 1920 and 1930 census in Portage, PA, but no World War II draft card. He may have died in a coal mine accident before the WWII registration. Thank you.
