Old Legal Documents The Johnstown Tribune of last evening prints the first mortgage ever recorded in Cambria County, dated March 14, 1806, and also the last will and testament of Rev. Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin, familiarly known as the "Apostle of the Alleghenies." The latter document reads as follows: In the name of God. Amen. I, Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin, Parish Priest of St. Michael's Church, near Loretto, in the County of Cambria, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby revoking and making null and void all former wills by me at any time heretofore made, and as to such worldly estate as it has pleased God to trust me with, I dispose of the same as follows; First, I direct that all my debts and funeral expenses shall be paid as soon after my decease as possible, and for the purpose of enabling my Executors to do so, I hereby authorize them to sell and convey, by sufficient deed or deeds, to the purchase or purchases thereof, any part of my real estate except such parts as are hereinafter disposed of. I give and bequeath to the Right Reverend Francis Patrick Kenrick, Bishop of Arath and coadjutor of the Bishop of Philadelphia, and to his successor, or to the Bishop that may be appointed for the Western district of Pennsylvania, and his successor (when such appointment shall be made), in trust forever for the support and use of the Roman Catholic clergy duly appointed by said Bishop or Bishops, or their successors, according to the rites of the Holy Roman Catholic church, to officiate at St. Michael's church above mentioned, all the farm whereon said church is erected, together with the lands and appurtenances thereto belonging. I also give and bequeath to the Bishop or Bishops above mentioned, in trust forever, for the purpose of erecting a church thereon, all that square of six lots in the town of Loretto, known and numbered in the plan of said town as Nos. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30. I give and bequeath to Mary Wharton the sum of five hundred dollars, to be paid by my executors to her. I give and bequeath to Catharine Wharton the sum of (*) two hundred and seventy-five dollars. And, whereas, there is money due me from Europe, the receipt of which is doubtful, I therefore direct my executors to exercise a sound discretion in distributing according to circumstances the residue of my estate, as follows, viz: One part or portion towards the relief of poor widows and orphans; one other portion for masses for the souls of the faithful departed; one other part to aid in the erection of a Catholic church in the town of Loretto, upon the lots above described; and one other part ot be paid to Susanna Christy, Sarah Durbin, Elizabeth Durbin, Ann Storm, Francis McConnell, and Hugh McConnell, all of whom were raised by me. And I do hereby constitute and appoint Michael Levy, William Todd and Henry J. McGuire executors of this my last will and testament. In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, the 25th day of April, A. D., 1840. *The words "two hundred and seventy-five dollars" {interlined in deed} interlined before signing. Signed, sealed, declared and delivered in the presence of the testator and each other subscribed as witnesses. Demetrius Aug. Gallitzin Patrick Shields Peter Christy Augustine Holt.

Hi: I have no solution, but some thoughts about your problem. Since the fee for copies of DAR members' applications is rather low, you might order all (or at least the most recent) applications. I found that they did not agree completely in the spouses of the children, etc. Some of my PA ancestors first settled in Berks Co, then went to Frederick Co, MD, and in the very early 1800s returned to PA, Huntingdon Co. I've noticed this occurring in other families, too. I seem to vaguely remember someone explaining this, but my memory is not what it used to be. Hope this help a little.

Hello to all my distant cousins, My lineage is grandmother Susan Pringle Dick, b Johnstown, PA, daughter of John P. Pringle, son of Philip Pringle, son of William Pringle, who is supposed to have served in the Revolutionary War in a Maaryland Regiment. Recently I was not approved for membership in the DAR because, quote, "We regret....The problem is that we have been unable to find any proof that this man [William Pringle] resided in Maryland. We need to prove that he resided in the locale where he performed the service. This will show that we have the right man matched with the right service. Also we have been unable to locate any proof of service for this man in the Pennsylvania records. Since this man's children's are all supposed to have been born in PA, it seems unlikely that he would be enlisting in a Maryland Regiment. Until this man's correct residence and service can be proved, we cannot accept any more applications through him." Because others were admitted to the DAR under William Pringle (Prindle) through his son Philip and Philip's other children, I had not done any research on William. I have seen the memorial in Ebensbserg listing him under Revolutionary War and can also get it on line. Is there any documentation for these people? Do you have any suggestions for verification of William Pringle's service. I spent about a year tracking John P. Pringle who, as some of you will remember, I found buried in Kentucky. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Barbara Moll Oro Valley, Arizona and Lewiston, NY

City and Country The railroad bridge at Mount Union was repainted last week. Matilda furnace, Mifflin county, is now turning out a good quality of iron. Altoona employs fifty-one teachers. Twelve years ago she had eighteen. Progress. J. B. Hileman, a young man who recently graduated at the public schools in this city, has gone to Gettysburg to begin his college life. John C. Dickey has been appointed passenger agent at Hollidaysburg, vice S. P. Waugaman, resigned. To take effect September 10. Mrs. John Owens, of Birmingham, who recently sprained her ankle, is no better. It is thought she will never recover the use of her limb. There has been considerable sickness among the horses in Todd township, Huntingdon county, resulting in the death of quite a number. Mr. John P. Levan's new residence on Twelfth avenue is rapidly approaching completion. It is the handsomest house in the city, and a credit to it. William Emerick, of Nittany Valley, Clinton county, had his left hand so badly lacerated in a threshing machine, Friday last, that it had to be amputated. On and after September 1 the name of the agency and station previously known as North Houtzdale, on Goss Run branch No. 2 of the Tyrone and Clearfield railroad, will be called Humes. Miss Gertrude Woodcock, a young lady who graduated with high honor at the late public school commencement in this city on Saturday started for Wellesley college, near Boston, to continue her studies. Conductor R. R. Bockus in jumping off the way passenger train Thursday morning at Anderson station, sprained an ankle so badly that he had to be sent back to this home in Harrisburg on day express. The Blairsville Enterprise says there is a farm in Westmoreland county which is believed to be cursed, inasmuch as every family that has resided on it since the year 1700 has suffered financial ruin. Jim Gifford, Aleck Boggs and Dave Brown were the happy men in town Friday. Two boys and a girl. On Thursday a chilled ball broke the shell of the squeezers in the big mill. A new one was substituted and the work goes on. Blair county's big 'Squire, Mr. H. Ingram, of Catfish, gathered from a single plum tree seven one-half bushels of plums. Miss Mary Cully, a young lady about 24 years of age, died at the home of her mother in the Fourth ward on Thursday evening. The bees and other honey-living insects have been feeding on A. S. Morrow's delicious grapes, leaving nothing but the inflated skins. On Saturday some railroad tie makers on Reservoir mountain discovered an over-grown copperhead snake, one of the most venomous kind, curled in their bed in the cabin. Two respectable citizens had a slight misunderstanding in Gaysport yesterday. One got hit with a bridle bit on the head and the other got his throat tightly pressed. The remains of the late Benjamin Hartman were brought yesterday from his home near Springfield furnace, on an extra train and at 2 o'clock laid in the Presbyterian cemetery. On Sunday morning a bright little ten year old boy, son of one of Gaysport's most respected citizens, went over to the Hollidaysburg side of the river. In one hour he was carried home dead, drunk. We could not learn how or where he got the liquor. On Saturday evening J. Irvin Brotherlin, Esq., while seated on his office porch, fell from his chair in a state of syncope. He was carried into his residence and still lies in a dangerous condition, having had severe hemorrhages of the lungs since. A huge air receiver, twenty-four feet in circumference and the same in length lies in the furnace yard. It looks like a big balloon. On it is printed in big white letters "Hancock Boom." It is a formidable boom and would make a capital wigwam. The third reunion of the former teachers, pupils, and patrons of the Old Hook school, on Spruce creek, took place on the 26th ult. There were present from this city: Mrs. Catharine Johnston, Mrs. Isabella Kinch, Mr. Oliver Brown and Mr. James Hileman; from Tyrone, Mrs. Isabella Weight and Mrs. Margaret Richardson; from Frankstown, Mrs. Dollie Walls and John Figart, and John A. Crawford, of Arch Springs. R. Sharar, of this city, sent a letter. A splendid time was had.

PREMONITION OF DANGER SAVED HER Miss Lillian Jeffries of Bellwood Moved Seat in Time to Avoid Being Hit with Stone Miss Lillian Jeffries, assistant post mistress at Bellwood, had somewhat of a miraculous escape from serious, if not fatal injury, on Sunday night. Miss Jeffries had been spending a few days at the home of her brothers, Howard and Lucien, who reside in Pittsburg. Upon boarding a train for home she took a seat near one of the doors. On account of the crowded conditions of the car; when the car began to thin out something seemed to tell her to take another seat, which she did. The moved saved her from serious, if not fatal injury, as a little girl who had taken the seat just vacated by Miss Jeffries on a short time before, was hit on the forehead with a stone that had been thrown at the train by some careless or malicious person while the train was speeding between Latrobe and Johnstown and admitted to the hospital in a very serious condition. -------------- Late News Paragraphed William Ward of 414 Bell avenue has scarlet fever.

Hello Listers: My grandfather's brother, John D. Hainley, before a Justice of the Peace in relation to a Civil War pension request. The Justice, J. F. Bair, wrote after being duly sworn: "That he is unable to furnish Church record as he has no knowledge of his father belonging to a church and his mother belonged to a Wineganarian Church and can not locate any records and the family bible has disappeared and he is unable to locate it." Does anyone have a clue as to a "Wineganarian Church"? The family lived in the Martinsburg area and John D. Hainley and his wife Sarah Alice Roller were married in the Martinsburg Methodist Church. Appreciate any thoughts. Edna
