I have a picture of my great grandmother Rose Blanche Price taken by Agnew in Tyrone, PA. Does anyone know what years Agnew was in Tyrone? I am guessing the picture was taken 1892-1893. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Beverly [email protected]

Aunt Sadie and Uncle Irwin live with our house. Uncle Irwin has only one leg now. It left during the war. He sleeps on the sofa during the day and at night papa helps him to bed. Mama and Papa do not like to have him sleep on the sofa. It is not right for people to think he has to sleep on the sofa. If you could find his leg and bring it to him he could sleep on the bed and not be in the parlor. He could go to work with Papa. I would like to ask you for a solder and a gun. I could shoot a rabbit with the gun. If I am too small to get a gun I would still like a solder. A stand by alone solder. Thank you, Samuel Santa, oranges and fruit and nuts are my favorites, and I would lik dishs to play with in the kitchen. Dishs that will not brake.

Altoona Times, Altoona, Pa., Wednesday Morning, November 27, 1918 TYRONE GETS OFFICIAL NOTICE Official notification of the death of Corporal Ray C. Hopkins of Company D, 145th infantry, was received by his wife, Mrs. Virginia Bateman Hopkins of Jefferson avenue yesterday. They had been married on February 11, 1918 at Camp Lee, Va. He was aged 30 years and leaves his wife, his parents, one sister and one brother. LETTER TO SISTER In a letter addressed to his sister, Miss May Houpt, the well known operator at the Bell Telephone exchange, Private Ralph Houpt of Company C, 131st infantry, writes of the tragic death of one of his comrades in arms, Private Simeon Glassco, the son of William Glassco of this place. This is the first intimation the relatives have had of his death and his sister, Mrs. Herbert Gibson of Osceola Mills got into communication with the war department yesterday for confirmation, but as yet has received no response. That he is dead, however, is not doubted in the least, as his companion states he was shot down when only four feet distant from him. He was born here September 23, 1888 and had been employed in the brick works at Bolivar, Pa. He leaves his father and these brothers and sisters: Claude of Tyrone; Earl of Centralia, Ill, Hary [sic] B. of Vandalia, Ill., Mrs. Herbert Fetters of this place and Mrs. Herbert Gibson of Osceola Mills. The letter of young Haupt reads in part as follows: "The reason I did not write for the last month was that we were on the firing line and could not get paper or even a chance to write. We went over the top on September 4th, which was some hop over. On Sunday night, September 7th, we hiked about 6 miles in the rain and mud and landed in the support trenches and stayed there until Wednesday night when we went to the front line and went over the top at 5.20 a.m. and gained our objective without much trouble but did not get to see many Germans as they withdrew before we got started. I am sure I thank the good Lord that I came out of that stunt, for Simeon Glassco who was about 4 feet in front of me was hit in both legs and died on the way back to the hospital and I did not get touched and there were sure some bullets flying. We were going through a swamp when he got hit but things soon got quiet and everything went fine. We went back on reserve again and October (censored) I am hoping and praying that the war will be over by Christmas and I will sure look forward to that box. Private Ralph W. Haupt, Company E, 131st infantry, A.E.F., France." JAMES M'CONAHY WOUNDED J. C. McConahy the Tenth street shoe merchant received word yesterday that his son, Sgt. James McConahy is among those wounded in the recent fight. Fortunately the message came in a letter written by the soldier himself, and it explains that while "shot up," his injuries are not serious. He received a fracture of the right forearm and a shattered left hip. The letter was written on November 3rd and reached the United States yesterday. "Sgt. Jim" says he is due for an operation and will be in the hospital for about 30 days. The wounds were caused by shrapnel. Jim and two companions were scouting in the famous Argonne woods when the enemy got their range. Singularly, his two companions escaped without a scratch when the shell came shrieking along and burst near their position. The wounded soldier has other brothers in the army also who are giving good account of themselves. Sergeant "Jim" is a member of the 305th engineers and left for Camp Lee with the first contingent last September. W. T. HAVERTY, ALTOONA MAN, WAS WOUNDED Private William T. Haverty, a brother of Police Sergeant R. J. Haverty, was wounded in action early in November according to a letter received by the latter yesterday afternoon. Haverty at the time of writing which was the day before the armistice was signed, was in a hospital near Paris, and expected soon to be back with his company. Haverty is 25 years of age and before being taken in the draft was a bartender at the Bingham hotel, he residing at 1435 Eleventh avenue. On April 3 he was sent to camp where he remained but three weeks. He was attached to Company D, 305th ammunition train and sent to France after very brief training. "I hope the war will soon end," he wrote to his brother, and the day after mailing the letter the armistice was signed, hostilities ceasing. He stated that he had been slightly wounded, but was recovering nicely and would soon be back with his company. JUNIATA MAN IN ARMY HOSPITAL BADLY WOUNDED Private Thomas John Carroll of Juniata, a member of the Canadian Expeditionary forces, is confined to the Second Canadian General hospital at Le Treport France, according to word received here yesterday from the adjutant general at Ottawa, Canada. He is suffering from a bullet wound of the right hand, but his present condition is unknown. On Nov. 15 word was received here that the young man had been wounded in action, suffering injuries to the right hand. No other information was conveyed in the telegram and his sister, residing at 515 Tenth avenue, Juniata, became much worried about him. She communicated with Superintendent Walter S. Greevy, of the Federal State employment bureau, and he wrote to the adjutant general at Ottawa, asking for information as to where the injured man was located, whether still in France, or if he had been returned to Canada. Private Carroll, aged 33, enlisted several years ago in the Canadian expeditionary forces and was attached to an infantry company. He saw heavy fighting during the most terrific of the German drives and fought against the Hun for many months when the German was coming out the victor. He is well known in this county, and before enlisting was employed in the shops.

CHESTER E. DUNLAP IS IN FRENCH HOSPITAL Chester E. Dunlap, a member of a machine gun battalion who according to a telegram from the war department received by the young man's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Dunlap, of 1711 Fifth street, was reported missing, is in a hospital in France, recovering from a gas attack. This welcome news was conveyed to the parents in a letter dated Oct. 18, which was eight days later than the date of the telegram. The error was probably due to his having been reported missing, just previous to his removal to the hospital. In the letter he states that he is as well as can be expected, but nervous due to the effects of the gas. Altoona Times, Altoona, Pa., Monday Morning, November 25, 1918 ERNEST OTTO IN BASE HOSPITAL BADLY WOUNDED In a letter received by Mrs. Ethel M. Otto, of 213 East Sixth avenue, notification of the wounding of her husband, Earnest Otto, in action in France was received. Mr. Otto, who is widely known in the city, was formerly an employe of the Altoona and Logan Valley Electric railway company, having been a conductor on the Broad avenue line. Mrs. Otto was not informed as to the nature or severity of the wound. The letter which was dated Oct. 30, was written by a nurse at the base hospital, where the young man is confined, and merely stated that Mr. Otto was wounded, did not have the use of his right arm but was getting along as well as could be expected. Mr. Otto is a member of Co. M, 328th infantry of the eighty-second division. He has been in France since the latter part of May, and in a former letter stated he had been in active service in the three great drives of the allied armies.

Does anyone know where the Lower Cemetery is located? My ancestor was supposedly buried in the Louis' Graveyard near Mariah Forges. Jim Boor has suggested that this might be the Lower Cemetery. Does it still exist? Are there any grave stones? Exactly where is it? Any help appreciated! Ellen Copper
