HUNTINGDON COUNTY JOTTINGS For the first time this summer the waters of the 'blue Juniata' have got down to a very low tide. The Huntingdon Normal college faculty use their influence to secure positions for worthy pupils and graduates. That is as it should be. Huntingdon ladies who are accustomed to read newspapers are always observed to possess winning ways, most amiable dispositions, invariably good wives, and always select good husbands. Mr. J. G. King has been steward at the Huntingdon Norma college for five years. He stills holds that position and no doubt will for many years to come. Mr. King is a Christian gentleman. Marklesburg has five bald-headed men, but you don't catch any of their neighbors saying that their wives are high-tempered women, or making any jokes about bald-heads generally. The bald-headed men in that town are looked up to. We are sorry to chronicle the death of Dr. M. L. Shultz's bright little boy. After several days of intense suffering he passed away Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The funeral occurred on Monday at 2 p.m. The afflicted family and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community of Marklesburg, where they reside. He died of cholera infantum. So many of our boys in this county are a burden to their parents, compelling them to support them. Do something-no matter what, boy, so that it is honest. Look around and obtain employment; then off with your coat and determine to clear your way up. The ladder of prosperity is within the reach of every one inclined to use it. Perhaps your father is rich, and therefore you think there is no need for you to work. What a senseless excuse! Your father may be rich now, but next year or next month some bad investment may absorb his riches and leave him in a condition worse than poverty-in debt. There are hundreds and thousands of probably misfortunes which may reduce his means; illness may lay him low, and his business, lacking his supervision, may go to ruin. Then you, his son, not having been taught the necessity of labor, are unskilled in the use of hands or brain, can do nothing but fret and worry. Your condition is worse than that of the most humble workman in your father's establishment, for his experiences will recommend him to another situation. Besides, poverty to you, who had never known the want of anything, becomes doubly aggravation. Brought up in luxury and idleness, plain food is nauseous to your dainty palate, and common garments seem the livery of shame. You shun a meeting with the associates of your better days, and they pass you with a chilling nod, as much as to say, "You are poor now, and of course cannot presume to reckon us among your acquaintances." Boys, strive to be independent, Learn to be useful in the world-to be able to "paddle your own canoe," as the saying is. Then, if trouble comes to your father, he will have at least one friend to assist in regaining his former prosperous condition-an affectionate, industrious, affectionate son. ----------------------------------------------------------- Birmingham Pencilings Pine Heights inn is now full to overflowing. Dr. Happer and wife of Canton, China, are guests of the Pine Heights inn. Rev. Charles E. Craven, of the Presbyterian church, is visiting at York, Pa. Mrs. George Moore, who has been visiting in Canoe Valley for some time, returned home yesterday. Mr. Charles Zeek, who had a stroke of paralysis a few days ago, is something better at this writing. Mrs. Thomas Furst and Miss Edith Mearon, of Beech Creek, are visiting Miss Annie and G. Lloyd Owens. H. C. McCamant and wife gave a dinner party on Saturday last to some of the elite of our town and neighborhood. The piece of ground immediately in the rear of the United Brethren church was sold a few days ago to Emanuel Zeek. F. D. Stonerod and family, who have been here for some time, departed for their home at Pittsburgh on Monday afternoon. Mrs. T. S. McCahan and her sister, Miss Annie Galbraith, are spending a few weeks at Bedford Springs and Manns Choice. During the absence of the regular pastor, William Alcott, local, preached for the United Brethren people on Sunday morning last. We are sorry to note that the illness of Miss Beckie Baker is of such a character as to cause great alarm to her parents and many friends in this neighborhood. Miss Alice Carpenter, of Pittsburgh and Miss Georgie and Willie Ford, of Bellwood, were the guests last week of Miss Cora and Wesley Holmes, in West Birmingham. Clara May, daughter of John and Lizzie McKinney, of Honest Town, died on Monday evening and was buried here in the Methodist cemetery yesterday. Her age was 1 year and 10 months. Margaret, little daughter of James and Catherine Stewart, died at Honest Town on Tuesday of last week, aged about 2 years. Her remains were buried here on Tuesday evening, in the Presbyterian cemetery. The pulpit here and at Warriorsmark on Sunday last was occupied by Rev. Wassan, of New York city. The reverend gentleman is spending a short time with his sister, Mrs. J. R. Lowrie, at Warriorsmark. Work on the new stone bridge, one mile east of this place, has been commenced by Drake & Strattan, of Pittsburgh. the stone bridge referred to above is to take the place of the No. 8 Iron bridge, almost opposite Alfarata mountain. The properties of Emanuel Zeek, on Market and Church street, are being painted by the Cornmesser brothers, of Bellwood. When the work is completed, they will be the brightest and most cheerful looking properties in the town. It is decided that the Pine Heights inn be a permanent thing in the future as a summer resort. We are informed that before the opening of another season that some big improvements will be made by Mr. Grier, both on the interior and exterior of the main hotel building. For some time the iron ore business from Shoenberger station has been rather quiet, on account of low prices and but few orders. the Juniata Manufacturing and Mining company, who are now operating the Shoenberger mines, are stocking upwards of one hundred tons per day at Shoenberger mines. John Cornelia on Friday last, while engaged in breaking ballast on the track here, was struck by a west bound freight train and seriously hurt. He was picked up and carried to the depot where his cuts and bruises were dressed by Dr. Thompson, of Spruce Creek, after which he was sent to his home at Beaver.

Local Laconics Yesterday was a hard day on composers of Spring effusions. Dr. W. B. Miler, of Twelfth avenue, is one of the more recent daddies. Boy. The duplicates for water rents falling due from April 1 to October 1, 1887, are now in the hands of City Treasurer Winn. Copies of the Shaw bill No. 16, with amendments have at last reached the city and are being closely examined by Councilmen and others interested. The Logan Hose Company will give a ball in the City Opera House on Friday evening, April 15, the proceeds of which will form the nucleus of a fund which will be used to purchase a horse and hose carriage. A well known Motive Power clerk and prominent member of the Grand Army is so patriotic that his dumb-bells are painted red, white and blue. He has received a new pair well adapted to his high physical development. Letters held at the postoffice--improperly addressed: Mrs. Mary Schreekengust, corner Second avenue and Fifth street; Joseph Snyder, Fifth avenue and Fourth street; Joseph Tauran, box 498; John Wehert, Ninth street and Howard avenue; Miss Fannie Gibson, Sixth avenue, 2; Mrs. N. J. Wilson; Miss Dessie Flanigan. For address: Letter sheet without address. We are under obligations to Mr. S. C. Galbraith, deputy sergeant arms of the State House of Representatives for a copy of the Legislative Directory prepared by Charles E. Voorhees, resident clerk, and published by authority of the House. It is a valuable book, containing, in addition to a directory of the Senators and members of the House, heads of departments and officers, the constitution of 1874, standing committees of the House and Senate, rules of the House and joint rules. In referring to the organization of Common Council yesterday we inadvertently omitted to state that Mr. McKiernan positively refused to allow his name to be used in connection with the Presidency of that board, and placed in the hands of Councilman O'Friel a letter to that effect. Mr. McKiernan is one of the most intelligent members of that body, and on the floor his influence will probably be as great in shaping legislation as it would be were he in the chair. ----------------------------------------- Points On Persons Mr. W. Fisk Conrad, of Tyrone, was in the city yesterday. Landlord Schenk, of the Brant House, is sorely afflicted with rheumatism. Mr. Willie Kearne is the latest acquisition to Stationer John Hurd's force of clerks. Hon. S. S. Blair, of Hollidaysburg, was in the city yesterday, closeted with some of our legal lights. Mr. Harry Hardman, son of ex-Councilman Hardman, of the Sixth ward, is a new clerk at Miller's hat store. Harry is bright and agreeable and deserves success. Mr. M. M. Rodgers, who came to this city last week to assist at the obsequies of his mother, returned to his home in Cleveland, Ohio, on the Limited Express last evening. ---------------------------------------------------- Hollidaysburg Hints A Record of Interesting Happenings at the county Capital. Mrs. John Wighaman has returned home after a visit of several months to friends in Wheeling, W. Va. Mr. Joseph Shaw, of Gaysport, lost a valuable horse from an attack of colic on last Saturday evening. The Baptist Sunday school, of Duncansville will, on next Sunday afternoon, give an Easter song service. Miss Deila Condron, of this place, has for merit, been promoted to a $1, 200 clerkship in the Pension Department at Washington, D. C. On Monday evening last Miss Margaret Dobbins, of East Allegheny street; Gaysport, was treated to a surprise party by her friends. It was the occasion of her birthday anniversary. Gaysport borough now proudly proclaims the fact that she owes no man a cent and has money in her treasury. It would a fine thing if our town could boast of being in the same boat. All the latest novelties in clothing, hats and gents' furnishing goods will be found on the counters of Messrs. McConnell & Saupp, Eleventh avenue, Altoona. Their prices are the lowest in the county for goods of the same quality.

Tyrone Topics William Cohill has been appointed to Adams Express messenger on the Tyrone and Clearfield road, the duties of which position he has already assumed. George Johnson, at one time employed as a passenger fireman on the Tyrone division was killed on a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio on Thursday. Housewives complain that that much dreaded and destructive pest, the buffalo moth, has put in an appearance here in large numbers. Examine your closets. Mr. Morris Marquet, of Hollidaysburg and Miss Jane Curry, of Altoona, were united in wedlock here by the Rev. H. M. Oberholtzer on Tuesday the 1st inst. The ceremony was performed at the City Hotel. The Ladies' Aid society of the Arch Spring Presbyterian church will hold an ice cream and strawberry festival in the lecture room of the new church on Thursday and Friday evening, June 10 and 11. Doors will open at 5 p. m. Don't make up your mind that all Italians merely come here to earn a few dollars and then skip back to their native land. We have one here at least that don't belong to that class. Guiseppe Parvone purchased a brick house on Park avenue from Robert Waring on Monday. Consideration, $1,100. One of the heaviest wind and rain storms that has ever visited Centre county passed over Scotia on Monday evening, leveling fences and uprooting trees for a radius of four miles. The tracks of the Juniata Mining company siding and the culvert near their works were rendered useless by the flood. No injury to life occurred that we could learn of. The storm came up about 5 p. m. and was of short duration. The annual meeting of the Snyder township school board was held at the office of Robert Waring on Monday. The treasurer's accounts were audited, the two new members Robert Waring and David Myers, taken in, things for the past school year cleared up and the new board organized. T. H. Balling was elected president of the board and E. C. Kinch, secretary. Hiram Friday, a member of the board, William Gates and George Fagley, the two outgoing members were also present at the meeting. Edward Burdue, a young man aged about 22 years, a son of John S. Burdue, residing near Grazierville, fell a distance of about fifteen feet from a maple tree on Washington avenue about 6:30 yesterday evening, alighting on his head and left arm, badly spraining the latter and bruising and cutting the former. He was picked up unconscious and was still in a dazed condition when taken home an hour later. A canary bird owned by A. J. Mattern, escaped from its cage and flew up in the tree, and Burdue, coming home from work, volunteered to go up in the tree after it. When up near the top the limb on which he was standing broke and he was precipitated to the ground, with the above result. The borough council had its meeting Monday evening. Henderson's resignation was read and accepted. The burgess' portfolio then passed into the hands of Rowles and the same gentleman was selected as chairman of the council. They then proceeded with the regular business. Among other things they authorized that a water plug be put in at the corner of Ridge and Cameron streets and another on Lincoln avenue, in front of the residence of Mr. C. J. Kegel. They gave orders that the wooden sewer on Express street shall be taken out and replaced with terra cotta, and that a stone crossing shall be put down on Main street at Allegheny. They also fixed upon the number of mills to be laid for taxes. Borough is placed at five, gas and water at four, and sinking fund at six per cent. Thieves are about. Two of them effected an entrance into Josh Williams' store room in The constitutional Amendment building, on Thursday night, by boring around the lock and prying open the front door. Their evident object was to get Josh's cash, but in that they were disappointed, for he had wisely put it in safer quarters. Nothing was taken from the room save about five pairs of half-hose and, as the robbers left a nearly new ratchet brace, and bit behind them, Josh is but little, if anything, out. Two scratches on the outside of the door near the lock show that the raid had been previously planned. Mr. Williams feels confident that the guilty parties are strangers in town. The robbery took place between 1 and 2 o'clock. Keep your doors locked and your pistol loaded and within reach. The best reception for these night prowlers is to treat them to a dose of cold lead. ----------------------------------------------------- So then after long years of patient waiting Altoona is at last going to get a new station, one with a more commodious baggage room. If Altoona is to have this, why not Tyrone? We venture the assertion that there is more baggage handled and taken care of here during a storm except on the platform outside of the building, protected only with a canvas covering. What Altoona cannot get intro their small room is amply protected under the shed here, no matter what the baggage is, it must take its chances of getting soaked. Should those in authority sometimes hear patrons of the road let themselves loose in giving vent to round upon round of billingsgate after discovering that the contents of their trunks were damaged from having been left outside, we opine that a suitable structure would soon loom up to remedy the evil. Warren Keith, a young man living in Spruce Creek, made a narrow escape from a horrible death here on Saturday evening. He and another young man were in town during the afternoon, and shortly before 5 o'clock concluded to board a passing freight train for home. The train was running along at a rapid rate. Keith, who is considered unusually expert in jumping on, waited until his companion made a landing on one of the cars, and then made a spring for the front of the cabin car himself. In some way he missed the stirrup and the jar of his fall then loosened the grasp of his left hand, and for a long distance he held on with his right hand, his legs dragging over the ties, until, in answer to the danger signal given by the engineer of the New York and Chicago limited passing westward, the train men released him from his perilous positions. One of his shoes was pulled off. It was reported yesterday that his injuries were not serious, although his legs and feet are badly bruised. ---------------------------- City and Country Findley J. Campbell, a young man about 18 years of age, was drowned in the Feeder dam, near Johnstown, on Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock. At 1:30 o'clock Monday morning, Mr. Wm. Robinson died at his residence, No. 111 Eighteenth street, aged 68 years, 9 months and 26 days. The Methodist people of Altoona district will hold their first district conference at Hollidaysburg some time in September next. Father Bishop Mallaheu, of New Orleans, or Bishop Andrews, of Washington, D. C., is expected to preside. The young people of the United Brethren church on Friday evening last presented their pastor, Rev. T. P. Orner, with a handsome gold hunting case watch. This was quite a surprise to Mr. Orner, who in a few remarks thanked them for the gift, saying that it was not because it was gold, or because of the time it kept, but it showed the high esteem in which he is regarded, which made it so appreciable.

Hi Maureen, Click here and then on Parish Info. http://www.diocesealtjtn.org/ Judy

Hi Listers, I was wondering if anyone in the Altoona area could get me the address of St Theresa's Catholic Church. I was thinking of writing to them for info on the Robert Alvin Geer baby that died between 1905 and 1910. It is just a long shot but I have the obit of my grandfather who was the brother of the baby and it said that my grandfather was a member of St Theresa's Church. He died in 1929. Any help on the address would be greatly appreciated. Maureen

Hi Everyone, I was hoping perhaps someone on the list might be able to help me or direct me in the right direction. I have the Altoona City Hall Birth Records book and in it I found a baby born April 1905. The name of the baby was Robert Alvin Geer. He doesn't show up in the 1910 census with the rest of the family. I did contact a cousin who said she remembers her mother talking years ago and said the baby only lived a couple years. I sent for the death cert. for 1906 but they found nothing. I could send for each year up to 1909 or 1910 but thought someone out there may have another idea. I think he died in Altoona but not sure where he is buried. Most of the family is buried in Calvery Cemetery but there is no book for Calvery Cemetery. I live in Ohio and doubt if I will be going back home in the near future. Is there someone out there that might be able to call the cemetery for me? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Maureen

Last Sunday the many friends of "Grandmother" Mentzer met at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. W. Walter, in order to celebrate her 83rd birthday anniversary. There were people from Johnstown and Altoona, as well as many people from this vicinity. Samuel Snoberger recently improved the appearance of his home by giving his house a coat of paint. --------------------------------- Annie Whiteman PABlair Rootsweb List Administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair

Hi List, Does anyone know where I might find records for the forge at Cove Forge? I contacted the State Archives and they don't have anything on it nor does the Williamsburg Historical Society.
