I found a newspaper clipping when I was looking through cookbooks. Click here http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/blair/receipts.htm and then click on the Pot Pie link on the left. Judy

Hello, I need a few obituaries from the early to mid 1900s. Is there a local library that has newspapers on microfilm or would it be better to see if the local historical society can get them? Any information appreciated. I'm new to researching in this county. Thanks! Melissa F. (Morgan) Kline Cecil County, Maryland

I moved to Kentucky when young, and can still remember the confusion we went through before we could "translate" food from North to South ... for example North South Pot Pie Dumplings (though don't ask for ham, they don't do that down here ... just chicken) Meat Pie Pot Pie Drop dumplings Never heard of ... and not inclined to eat them. The south seems to also limit itself to pale pink bologna ... there's nothing similar to Juniata hot ring bologna or lebanon bologna. And hoagies .. I'd kill for an East End hoagie.

Funny how we associate food with places...the discussion of ham pot pie (with the wide noodles) has brought back some hunger pangs! My grandfather, Fred Briggs, worked in that smelly paper mill (mentioned by one poster), and later worked as a baker for many years in Tyrone. I'm not sure where he baked but his old recipe book was a little pocket pad with ingredients but no amounts listed. For years my mother longed for that book, then they found it and realized they would have to make up their own amounts for any given recipe. Boston creme pie, coconut creme pie and grilled sticky buns (much better than the diner in State College folks) were a few of his specialties. I'm hungry! Scott -- Scott B.

I believe they did and their hoagies, while very good, are never as good as Charlie and Catherine's. The routine was; Charlie and Catherine's for hoagies, then a few blocks down to Cross's for ice cream. The first time I ever had peanut butter choc. ice cream was at Cross's. These posts are bringing back such good memories. My mother was a butcher shopper, she went to Gardner's for veal, and she was a frequent shopper at the Farmer's Market on Greene Avenue. My insurance agent, Saleme, is on 11th Ave., and if my grandchildren are with me, I always tell them how crowded the downtown street would be when I was younger. Once the older one had the nerve to tell me I told them that story everytime we went to the insurance store. Gable's would have a crowd in front of their store and I always thought my Mother was so clever to know where the side entrance was--our usual route was Bon Ton, Gables and a place called Mangel's. I had my first charge account there, and thought I was so grown up with a card and everything. My mother knew two sisters that worked at Gable's and one of the sisters husband had left her. Every visit would entail her crying and holding my Mother's hand. I pictured the husband as a sort of Clark Gable/John Garfield type of person, and when I saw him for the first time, I didn't believe it. He was heavy, bald and didn't look like a man a woman would cry over for years. I wish I could remember his name, he called Bi! ngo at Mt. Carmel.

Blair Co.as formed in1846, from Huntingdon. If your John Manning was stayed in the same general area all his life... then he might be found in Huntingdon censuses for 1840 and prior. Or his parents' will "might" be on file at the Huntingdon courthouse??? Or, assuming you've already checked into that.... another thing to think about is the old handwriting. Also, are you searching transcriptions, or original handwritten records? Depending how they wrote their "M's" and "n's", a transcriber could easily mistake the name Manning as something like "Warring" or "Marring" or "Mauring". Likewise, an enumerator might "hear" (and write) something like "Manion" instead of "Manning". I have had the same kind of issues with my Bixler/Bicksler surnames... they are transcribed in many peculiar ways and don't show up where they are "supposed to be", because of it!

I remember my mom talking about Charlie and Catherine's. Did Luigetta's take it's place? We moved from Altoona 18 years ago, but to this day I can't visit Altoona without going home with food from Luigetta's.

I'm just lovin this!!!! While I'm not from Blair County (is Cambria close enough to become and honorary resident) and I no longer live in the area. The food is bringing back so many memories. As a kid, we visited relatives and occasionally drove through Tyrone. Who could forget that smell of the paper factory? While the topic is not genealogy based it makes us remember who we are and where we came from. Too many of our families (mine included) are scattered all over. It's such a pleasure reading these emails that have been posted. Makes me nostalgic. I'm working on a side tree for an elderly Uncle and he showed me the family plot. He and my Aunt plan on being laid to rest there and I've discovered a couple of my cousins plan on that as well. That will make seven generations. Incredible and today most likely unheard of. Thanks for letting me rant. This list is the best. Frank Bobak

Ohhh--when you mention hoagies, I thought of Charlie and Catherine's--they had the best hoagies. My step-mother is from the south, and she can make the best biscuits, and fried chicken, and her iced tea is a real treat.

Tom, I'm a Texas Hot Dogs (downtown and 58th Street) and Meadows Frozen Custard - http://www.meadowsfrozencustard.com/ - junkie myself, Tom. Click on a location to see the flavor schedule. Today's special flavors at Hollidaysburg are blueberry and pretzels-n-choc. And I don't wanna hear how unhealthy frozen custard is, because I have a friend in Greenwood who practically lives on the stuff. Try to find a store that carries Boar's Head cold cuts, Tom. Their lebanon bologna isn't quite up to the local PA variety, but it's danged good. So's their beef bologna. My husband, from the area around Hazleton, grew up on fried bologna sandwiches. I'm sitting here thinking about ham potpie at Tom & Joe's, near City Hall in Altoona, and laughing. http://www.tomandjoes.com/ Oh, Lord, they have WiFi now at Tom & Joes. Click on News and Events. There are photos linked on that page. And one of today's specials is a hot chicken sandwich with potatoes. Bet we could get gravy on the fries. <grin> For those of you who didn't grow up in Altoona: Tom & Joe's is where you went after the bars and clubs closed at 2 a.m., for an early breakfast. The place was and probably still is always packed, and the waitresses yelled their orders to the cooks from across the restaurant. Nobody minded, either.

I am not offended, but I am confused. (nothing new there) I believe we were talking about pot pie, cooking the meat, dicing potatoes and adding the pot pie dough. On top of the stove. Right? I am also familiar with the meat pie you are referring to, a real pie, with beef, or chicken, or turkey, with gravy, made with potatoes, carrots and peas. Marie Callendar pies-Correct? I also understand your Cove area issue, but I don't believe it is meant to be detrimental, it is just a statement to describe an area. Let's not be too sensitive here, this was a casual exchange of memories and recipes. I think it is wonderful to learn a bit more about each other, and not be critical of the exchanges. There are over 500 people on the Blair list and I am positive not all of them live in Blair Co., or even PA, so they may never have heard of pot pie, or the Cove!!!

Having a terrible time finding anything new on my ancestor, John Manning. He has been a brick wall for myself and some cousins, for several years. Only known facts about him: Name: John Manning Born: abt 1797-98-per his headstone-states he was 52 yrs old. Died: 1852 Wife: Barbara (per 1850 census) Have found him in 1850 census in Blair Co, along with his wife and offspring. His son George is also listed with his sister and some of his offspring in 1850 census. John is buried in Rodman Cemetery, Blair Co. We have been unable to find any record of birth, death, marriage, obit, etc. Some of John's offspring had lived in/around Altoona, but no further info on John or his wife Barbara. Haven't been able to find where she is buried, not on transcription list for Rodman. Very frustrated!!!! Any suggestions? Thanks, Terri ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Now I have a son-in-law from the Cove area, and he > seems to prefer sugar added to everything. No offense meant whatsoever, but these two sentences mentioned two things that irk me. I am assuming that the term "pot pie" is used correctly here, but it burns me up when I see things called pot pie that are really just a meat pie. Pot pie is a meal made in a pot, on top of the stove, containing ingredients one would usually see in a meat pie (meat, sauce and dough.) Those other things are merely a chicken pie, a beef pie, or whatever pie--not a pot pie. And, the term is singular: even if you were speaking of both chicken pot pie and ham pot pie in the same sentence, you'd be correct in saying that "we served both chicken and ham pot pie" not "pot pies." And, speaking as a Morrisons Cove native, I know that the Cove IS an area, so to say "Cove area" is redundant. I'm just "from the Cove". If I was from McKee, I'd not be from the Cove. Well, I'll concede that MAYBE if you're talking about somewhere just outside of the Cove, you could say "Cove area." But, please, if you're talking about a place within the mountains that form the valley of Morrisons Cove, don't call it the Cove "area." While I'm on a rant, why are folks adding a word to Cove Lane and calling it (I can barely stand to even type this) "Cove Lane Road." That's like calling Market Street "Market Street Avenue." I'm done. Peace, Valerie

Maxine, Not related but noticed the same/similar surname. Teresa MARRIAGE: Marion Clair GEISSINGER to Hannah Mary STREIGHTIFF, 1919, Huntingdon County, PA GEISSINGER - STREIGHTIFF. Marion Clair Geissinger and Miss Hannah Mary Streightiff were united in marriage last Wednesday morning at the Reformed church parsonage by Rev. D. E. Master. The groom is a son of Michael Geissinger, of Thirteenth street, and is employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The bride is a daughter of William A. Streightiff, of Fourteenth street. She has been employed as a stenographer in the Swigart-Harshbarger insurance office. The couple expects to move into the Geissinger property at Thirteenth and Moore streets.

To: <[email protected]> Hi List, Am going through old photos and trying to get them labeled and sorted. I came across a photo of Bud Straightiff (not sure of spelling) and wondered if anyone out there is researching this name and knows him. If so, they are welcome to the picture. All that I know about him, is that he was a family friend and they lived either next door to us or maybe a house away. This was on the road outside of Williamsburg to Hollidaysburg. There use to railroad tracks there that belonged to the paper mill. It was one of those houses that we lived in and so did he and his family. This is from my memory of when I was around four or five years old and before we moved to Ohio. I am now 70, so have really taxed my brain this time. <grin> Maxine

If you read the label on the commercial spaghetti sauce you will find that sugar is added.
