Thanks to the group. I appreciate the information on the Stewardson Furnace. I a family history written in 1896, by Andrew Arnold Lambing, he wrote concerning his family, and about himself, "and the crisis came in "the dry summer" of 1854, which burned everything on the ground. The poorest flour in that miserable market sold at Buffalo Furnace, six miles distant, at $16.00 a barrel, money was not to be had, and people were forced to do whatever they could get to do, or starve; there was no alternative, and the father with his two oldest sons secured employment in digging ore for Pine Creek Furnace, seven miles north-east of Kittanning, in the fall and winter of 1854-5." (end of quote). I take this is the same Furnace? Sorry to say I have this information on my web site, and for that matter my grandfather was born in Armstrong county, but I know little of the area. Best wishes to, the group. Warren Lambing http://pages.prodigy.com/BYRL86A/lambing.htm
