Hi, I'm new to the list and I'm in search of the DUNN family that came from Ireland in the late 1800's. The earliest names that I have are Peter DUNN and his wife Mary GLUNT they were the people that came over. This I know from my Ggrandmother Minnie Fredricka DUNN who was born in Altoona in 1880 and married Frank Benjamin RINKER in 1900. She had brothers and sisters but don't know who. I can't even find Census records with Peter or even with Minnie's name.I don't know what churches to look for let alone their belief. Thanks for any help Bill

More from the Pioneer Sketches of the Cove: The Ripley Family It was a common thing in early days that children should be "bound out." Sometimes orphans were thus disposed of and sometimes parents who thought they could not care for the children bound them out. That meant a boy or girl was to serve to whom they were bound for a period of years, receiving their board and clothes, usually until 18 years of age. A boy generally received a suit of clothes, a horse, saddle and bridle when the contract expired. Jackson Ripley was a "bound boy." When his time was up in Dutch Corner where he had served he came with his horse into Morrisons cove and worked on farms. He wooed and won Rosanna Stuckey as his wife. They were married in 1843 and went to housekeeping on a farm west of New Enterprise, near Flitchville. They soon bought the farm and spent their lives there. It was my privilege to live in their good home two winters when teaching the Flitchville school. It was always conceded they kept their barn and barnyard in perfect order. Everything was cleaned up at least once and usually twice each day. Part of the barnyard was swept clean. The horses and cattle were regularly curried and lived kneedeep in straw when stabled. I frequently helped in the evenings with the work and really enjoyed it. Mrs. Ripley was just as particular as her husband, and if he was away she saw that everything was done just right. They had one son and one daughter. The daughter married E. A. Kegarise of Roaring Spring. For many years they conducted a hardware store in that thriving town. She had left home when I was there. The one son, David, was engaged in huckstering, hauling produce to Altoona twice each week. He married Miss Annie Blackburn and they remained with his parents as long as they lived. I remember distinctly the early rising in this home. At 5 o'clock breakfast was ready. No cereal breakfast here. Sausage or ham-we never ate side meat in those days-with hot cakes, corn or buckwheat cakes, plenty of all kinds of preserves, friend potatoes, perhaps scrapple, coffee and apple pie. Well, if that seems a big breakfast, just remember that is seven hours until dinner. Mrs. Ripley was always urging everyone to eat, saying: "It is a long time 'till dinner." She would continue to put victuals on my plate as long as I would eat, and say: "You must eat more meat and butter. You are so slim because you do not eat enough." I weighed 130 pounds and thought I was quite a man. After teaching here two years, I was elected to teach at Loysburg and C. W. Dittmar was sent to Flitchville. He boarded at Ripley's and when he came Friday evening, I inquired how he liked it. He replied, "Fine, but this week they ate breakfast at 5 o'clock, because they had threshers." I said nothing. The next Friday evening he hunted me up to inquire if Ripley's always got up at 4 o'clock and ate at 5 o'clock and when he learned they did, he said, " I can never stand it," and resigned as teacher, going home to work at his trade as saddle and harnessmaker. He said, "They are great cooks, but 5 o'clock is too early for me." Mr. and Mrs. Ripley lived to a ripe old age, he being 80 years and Mrs. Ripley 79 when they died. David Ripley and his wife had one daughter, Mrs. Rosie Ripley Lower. After David Ripley's death, Mrs. David Ripley lived with her daughter in Roaring Spring. Mrs. Lower has a very interesting family, as shown in this group. The son, Marion F. R. Lower, is a student in Pennsylvania college at Gettysburg. He purposes to study law when he finishes his liberal arts education. We doubt not the sterling qualities of their grandparents and great-grandparents will be manifested in these choice young people. However, I am quite sure they do not rise at 4 o'clock, nor enjoy such breakfasts as we did. I eat cereal and fruit now, generally.

Hello List How about a "roll call". I am researching BRADLEY, WILL(S), ELDER. Jim Coleman

The Miller name is prominent in this section of the Pioneer Sketches of the Cove, and I am passing it along: All Trades Needed A new settlement needed men who had learned trades and could make whatever the settlers needed. Many times the blacksmith and the wagonmaker locating at a crossroads started a new town. A blacksmith came, but we do not know the name of anyone earlier than George Miller, here in the years 1830-50. George Miller lived in a house that stood near where Lee Detwiler lives and conducted a shop where Leroy Stotler's shop is now located. He was a hard working man and farmed some, owning land now partially covered by Brown's dam. He cleared several acres of land on the mountains where Snyder's orchard is now located. This land had grown up in sumac when I was a boy and was a great place for pheasants to gather in the fall where they fed on the sumac berry. Many a time I saw as many as fifty pheasants fly out of that field in one evening. I was not a wing shot, but hunted with a rifle in those days. I would watch the direction they went and then follow them hoping to see them sitting on a tree. I could generally get two or three in an evening with my rifle. Dr. J. E. Skillington would have killed the limit in a few minutes. The most I ever killed was five in one evening. It is related of George Miller that he was a very passionate man, and when he had any difficulty in welding or shaping a piece of iron or steel he would open a rear door of his shop and throw the iron into the millrace, saying, "here devil, take it." When both he and the iron had cooled off he would fish the iron out of the race and go to work. I remember Mrs. George Miller, a very pleasant old lady, who, after the death of her husband, bought the farm where George Hall now lives, where she lived with a son, Jacob, for many years. A daughter, Janie, married young man by the name of Josiah Ritchey, who came to Loysburg and opened a tailor shop. He and John Dittmar, a saddler and harnessmaker, used the same room-the front room in the house now owned by Mrs. Sadie Davis. Later Josiah Ritchey bought the farm north of town now owned by Jacob Sell, conducted a hotel and farmed. Ritcheys had a large family, and when the war came in 1861, Mr. Ritchey was drafted. His oldest son, Melancthon, told his father he would go in the father's stead. A drafted man had to furnish a substitute or go himself, so the young man went that the father might stay home to care for the family. He came home and his father helped him secure a medical education in appreciation for what he had done. He taught school a few terms very successfully, being well liked as a teacher. I went to school to him part of one term. After graduating at Jefferson Medical college, he practiced medicine a short time in Loysburg, then moved to Harrisburg where for many years he was one of the leading physicians. Vincent Ritchey is a pharmacist in Carlisle where he and his sons conduct a large drug store. Daniel Ritchey is a jeweler in Harrisburg. Frank, a doctor of medicine, died a few years ago. Herman is a dentist in Harrisburg and James is a real estate dealer in Harrisburg. Two sisters also live in Harrisburg. All these young people were reared in Loysburg. Their house was a center of activities for the young people forty or fifty years ago. When the family moved to Harrisburg it was distinct loss to the community. There were greatly missed in the Reformed church of which they were all active members, and much missed in social circles. John Meloy, a young man, a carpenter by trade, came to Loysburg in 1855. He married Miss Nancy Miller, a daughter of George Miller. They first moved to Saxton and a few years later to Altoona. Mr. Meloy worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad company. He retired and he and his good wife lived many years in Logantown on Willow avenue near Fourth street where I often visited them. Mr. Meloy was a veteran of the Civil war. John Meloy has two daughters, married and living in Altoona, Mrs. Maggie Taylor and Mrs. Mollie Ashcroft. Two sons are also living, Thomas in Pittsburgh and James in St. Paul, Minn. William Little and Henry Burket followed George Miller as blacksmith at the same stand. Joseph Manning, an Englishman, was for many years their wagonmaker. He was a good wagonmaker and made many heavy wagons which were ironed by William Little and Henry Burket. He built the famous wagon now owned by Frank Brumbaugh which was shown at the Martinsburg centennial and a picture of which is shown on page 21 of this book. Such a wagon cost in those days at least $125 and the Conestoga bed about the same amount. William Little retired from active service at his trade and his son, James P. Little, conducted the shop for forty years or more. Leroy Stotler is now the efficient mechanic in this long used and important plant. William Little came to Loysburg from Saxton in 1849 when 21 years of age. He bought lots from the Stoners and built a brick house where Henry Grub now lives, and conducted a blacksmith shop where Lloyd Hall now lives. Later he sold this to George W. Pennel and bought the George Miller shop, then a part of the James Patton estate. He also bought a number of lots from Mr. Patton on one of which he later built the brick house in which his daughter, Margaret, now lives. William Little was the father of James Patton Little, Mary Agnes, Sarah Catherine, Kansas, Emma Flora, William Francis, Anna, Eliza Jane, and Margaret. James P. Little marred Miss Belle Fisher and their family of two girls and three boys are well known in Loysburg. Clara is married to Mr. Faulkner and lives in Iowa. Miss Elsie lived in the fine home that James P. Little, her father, built. Harry Little, a graduate of Wesleyan university, Stamford, Conn., was a prominent teacher in Jersey City, N. J. He died a few years ago. William Little, another son of James P. Little, is one of Pittsburgh's prominent young business men. Edgar, the only son now living in South Woodbury township, is a progressive farmer, now living on his own farm two miles north of Loysburg. He married Miss Clara Jamison and they have a delightful family. The oldest son, Wilbur, is a college graduate and teaches mathematics in the New Enterprise High school.

Hoover to ? Downing (late 1800's ?) Lewis Hoover to Minnie Vaughn (late 1800's ?) Nancy Hoover to Henry Stiffler Can anyone help me with any of these? Thanks!

I have seen lots of people researching Millers so thought it would be a good time to see if anyone out there has my gr gr grandmother and grandfather as part of their research. They are Joseph H. Miller b. 1822 d. 1900. Joseph is buried in Greenwood cemetery. His wife is Ann, I have no maiden name and have heard that she was part American Indian. She died in 1906. Their children that I know of are: D S , James b. 1856, Esther Rachel b. 1855 d. 1928. Esther married James Sylvester McCloskey. I have not yet seen them in any census data I have searched. I believe they lived in Altoona at time of deaths. Esther's death notice says she was born in Mapleton Depot in Huntington Co. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Cheryl
