The Bradford Era's online edition of Tuesday, July 22, 2003 carries the stories, and photos, of the Kinzua Viaduct's collapse. Some of you may have had ancestors who worked on this famous structure so I am including the newspaper's URL: http://www.bradfordera.com in the event you'd like to read a little history of the bridge. The photos are amazing. It's a tragedy to the area to lose something with this much history and something that is so historically significant. I've visited the bridge many times over the years. I'll put a few photos on my site of the bridge before it fell. Maureen Lee www.happeningsinthehills.com

Peter William Makeley b. 5-18-1825 d 5-17-1904 m.8-4-1846 to Polly Zimmerman died abt 1850. I believe that she may have died in childbirth or shortly thereafter, as her third son Levan Zimmerman Makeley was born 5-17-1850. Peter wasted no time, and married 2d wife on 7-18-1850 Clarinda Hadsell who died 1910. Am looking for Levan's mother's information, as I have nothing on her. Would she be listed in the 1850 census? I forget what the date was that that one was taken on. There were two other sons with Polly: George Makeley b 12-31-1847 d. 3-12-1848 and Jacob Makeley b. 5-22-1849 d. 5-31-1849. Levan is the only son who survived from that union as he lived to 3-3-1919 and married on 1-1-1872 one Lydia Brokaw. Any information on Polly and Peter, would be greatly appreciated. Also, Peter is the brother or son of Zacheriah Makeley and the son or grandson of William Makeley and Christine Harvey. Any info on these persons, also greatly appreciated. Vicki
