I am researching the GROVES of Blair County, specifically Hollidaysburg. My proven line is Charles GROVES married to Mary WINDEL on 26 July 1848 in Hollidaysburg. They are on the 1850 Hollidaysburg census, later moving to Allegany County, MD (1880 census). I believe Charles is the son of William GROVES who died in Hollidaysburg on 28 Jan 1849. I have no proof. I am seeking the following: 1. Mary WINDEL parents names from the Marraige Records. 2. Charles GROVES parents names from the Marraige Records. 3. Copy of Obituary for William GROVES which is in the Hollidaysburg Register newspaper on 31 Jan 1849. Hopefully it lists his children. 4. 1860 and 1870 Blair County census lookup for Charles GROVES (most likely Hollidaysburg area) I appreciate any help you can give me. My info is at http://combsfamily.tripod.com/groves.html Matt Combs Clemmons, NC _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

A Railroad Watchman Killed Tuesday evening a fatal accident occurred in the upper yards of the Pennsylvania railroad at Harrisburg. Between 5 and 6 o'clock Thomas Gallagher, employed as night watchman at the asylum crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad, in the performance of his duty, had occasion to attend to a team which was about to cross the main tracks at that point. He failed to notice a car which was being shifted on one of the tracks and was thrown down and his legs horribly cut and great gash made in his head. The unfortunate man was almost instantly killed. The deceased was about 52 years of age, resided at Harrisburg and has a son who is fireman on the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Gallager was favorably known for his kindness of heart and faithful and prompt attention to his duty. ------------------ Mr. John Witherow, a supervisor of Knox township, Clearfield county, was struck on the head by a heavy stringer while assisting to repair a bridge over Potts' Run, on Monday of last week, and injured so badly that he died soon after being taken to his home, about a mile distant. The stringer accidentally slipped from the hands of the men who were attempting to put it in place, and Mr. W., seeing his danger, jumped into the water, but failed to get out of the way of the falling log. The Catholics of Lilly, like their co-religionists at Gallitzin, are making arrangements for the holding of a two-days' picnic for the benefit of their new church and contemplated parsonage, and have selected the 3d and 4th of July, instead of the 4th and 5th, as at Gallitzin, for their proposed festivities. A better place for enjoyment or a better cause to assist cannot be found anywhere. Dancing, music, feasting and fun are the inducements held out to those who delight in such things. Our young friends Charles and Joseph Schwab, of Braddock, paid their respects to The Times office last evening. Charley and Joe are from Cambria county, and hold good positions at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, the first named being near the head of heap in the engineering department.

REVEALED A SKELETON Tin Roof Torn from its High Home Discloses Buried Bones of Twenty Years. There was a feature of Tuesday's wind and sleet storm in Altoona that discountenances any commonplace pranks of blown fences and washed out cellars. The interesting and gruesome discovery was made shortly after a large loose tin roof on the Phoenix block rattled clumsily and noisily to the street. Away under the south eaves, stowed tightly in a wooden box like a coffin, covered with dust and eaten by the elements were the bones of a human skeleton. It was not without trepidation that the men around the building first to find it, picked up some old medical books lying on the top of the box and proceeded to open the box itself. The bones are those of a medium sized man and were excellently preserved. It is presumed they were owned by a physician who formerly had rooms in the building and at some time or other he had packed it away there. The books are dated 1882, which makes it twenty years ago. -------------- DOINGS IN POLICE CIRCLES Cases Brought Before the Mayor and Aldermen of This City.

Delozier & Bray, the grocers, Eighth avenue and Twenty-third street, yesterday waived a hearing before Alderman Stephens on the charge of conspiracy, preferred by Charles Burk, and entered $1,000 bail for their appearance at court. Among the mail yesterday Mayor Hoyer found several anonymous communications which he promptly threw into the waste basket. He desires it stated that he will pay no attention to unsigned letters, and any one who has not the courage to sign his name might just as well save the price of the paper and stamp. The patrolmen have been given strict orders about reporting wagons or other obstructions in the streets or alleys. Mayor Hoyer is determined to break up the practice of letting wagons stand out over night, endangering the lives of the firemen in case of fire. He did not allow it when he was mayor before, and he will not allow it this time. W. A. Heckert, a Logan Valley car conductor, made information before Alderman Stephens against Richard Robloy, who, he alleges, assaulted him on his car, at Nineteenth street, on the evening of April 5, severely injuring him, breaking his nose and blacking both eyes, and pulling him off his car. Defendant waived a hearing for court last evening. The conspiracy case of Robert D. Stroup, of Juniata, against R. Bruce Hutchinson, came up for argument in the court of Alderman Raymond last night. The hearing of the case occurred about two weeks ago, but the arguments of counsel were postponed. The defendant and his attorney, A. V. Dively, were not present, but Attorney Kurtz, for the prosecution, made his address. The alderman announced that he would hold Hutchinson under bail for court. ------------------------- LATE NEWS PARAGRAPHED Items Condemned-Personals Caught Just Before Our Press Hour.
