"Houston" asked, " I'm looking for any information on Mathias Brothers, listed on the direct tax for 1798 in Woodberry(bury). Any information would be helpful, his children or parents, Church association or his trade. The 1810 census has listed Matthias Brothers with 3 male children and 6 female children." The church record (on microfilm that Blair Co. has) for the "Logan Valley Salem Lutheren Church" Antis Twp. Huntingdon Co. (now Blair Co.) has some people named Brothers in it. Also, Lefever, Troxel, Smith, Domer, etc. Church started about 1806. Brothers I think were on a list of "Communicants" about 1814. Morris

Dawn, I have Lydia HALFPENNY who married in to my HUNTER line. Her tombstone indicates that she was the daughter of J & M Halfpenny. She is buried in Logan Valley Cemetery in Antis Twp. Her sister Isabel is also buried there. The 1870 census has the following: All born PA Halfpenny, John, 60 Mary Ann, 56 Mary E, 21 Sally, 19 Benjamin, 17 Catharine B, 16 George, 7 Wirtz (could be Mirtz), John, 25 Kotner(?), William, 21 I will be happy to send you a copy of the image if you would like it. I will check and see what else I have also, as I have come across the Halfpenny name frequently since they lived in such close proximity to my Hunter's.

I'm looking for any information on Mathias Brothers, listed on the direct tax for 1798 in Woodberry(bury). Any information would be helpful, his children or parents, Church association or his trade. The 1810 census has listed Matthias Brothers with 3 male children and 6 female children. Thanks, Marcia Fronk

Good morning, I'm looking for anyone that might have information on the 1860 census. I'm looking for John Halfpenny. He lived in Centre County until 1853 when he moved to Blair County. He was a woolen manufacturer, and started a company in Blair County when he moved there. I am looking for his children, I have the following information from the 1850 census: John age 41 Mary age 37 Margaret age 13 Lydia age 8 John age 5 Isabella age 3 Mary age 2 But I'm looking for a child named Katherine, I believe she may have been born about 1853/1854. I show that he is in fact on the 1870 census, but I don't have detail, just head of household information. 179B 21 Halfpenny John 60 M W Woollen Manufacturer Thanks in advance!!!! Dawn West

Ex-Sheriff Joseph Shannon, who has been ill for a long time, is gradually sinking and cannot survive much longer. His son Joseph has been watching at his bedside for nine consecutive nights, and is much exhausted from his patient attention and weary vigils. Mr. Shannon has long been a resident of this city and in his closing hours should not want friends nor the necessary comforts so much needed at this moment. Any assistance in the way of watching at his bedside and ministering to his wants will be kindly and gratefully remembered. We trust that some of our humane citizens will see to it that this old citizen is made comfortable and his son relieved and given needful rest from his weary though filial duty. ------------------------ DIED POET.-May 4, 1884, Sadie Bell, infant daughter of M. and S.
