You can then do minor editing on the image, print it at any percentage --eg 30% size or 100%, and also save it as a JPG file. I use it every day to take all kinds of screen shots, especially when the Internet Explorer "Print" version is illegible etc. http://snagit.en.softonic.com/ Carolyn McFarlane

Without difficulty however the child was traced to the small bridge and in a pool of water just below the bridge, the lifeless body of the little one was found. It is evident that the child, in peering over the end of the bridge, lost his balance and fell into the water, the fall being only a few feet.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, July 15, 1910 Volume 44, Number 27 Death of Dr. T. J. Davison On Friday July 1st, 1910, Dr. Thomas J. Davison, one of Ebensburg’s old and most respected citizens, died suddenly at his home on Julian Street, aged 71 years. Death came to Dr. Davison without a moment’s warning and thus closed the career of one of our town’s most active and useful men. Dr. Davison exemplified the highest type of man. He had lived and practiced his profession in Ebensburg for over twenty-five years and though his age and failing health weighed up on him, he was ever faithful to those who sought his services and died as he wished to die, “in the harness.” Advanced age and feebleness did not prevent him from going out in all kinds of weather to minister to the sick and dying. Dr. Davison was always ready and willing to go. He would serve the poor as readily as the rich and during his long carrier carried many messages of cheer and hope to those who had but little of this world’s goods. The virtues of his private character endeared him to all who knew him. He had a sunny disposition that even age could not cloud. He was the ideal man. He knew the Golden Rule and always followed it consistently. He served his country faithfully in the army during the War of the Rebellion. He was a leader in his church and abounded in humility and helped others to live as he lived himself. In the death of Dr. Davison this community has suffered a distinct loss. He was progressive and always busy. No community can spare men of his type. The large number of people who attended his funeral last Tuesday was a fitting tribute to his worth and memory. His remains were laid to rest in Lloyd’s Cemetery. Child Wanders to Death under Train Altoona, Pa., July 14 Wandering down the PRR railroad track, Stephen Berhard, aged three years, son of a quarryman at Ganister, ran in front of a passenger train and was killed instantly.

The McNamara family formerly conducted the Fenwycke Hall in Ebensburg and are well known here.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, July 1, 1910 Volume 44, Number 26 Attorney Easly of Carrolltown Dead Aged Member of the Bar Passed Away in Pittsburg Monday James C. Easly of Carrolltown, for many years a resident of Johnstown, and the third oldest member of the Cambria County Bar Association, died in a Pittsburg institution Monday afternoon, where he had been in failing health since Easter of last year. Death ended a long suffering of diseases incident to his advanced age of 71 years. Two of his children were on their way to the bedside of the sick man when the final summons came. Thirty or forty years ago there were few attorneys who were better known in this county than James C. Easly. He was a native of Johnstown, where he was reared to manhood and where he practiced law until about the time of the Johnstown flood. James C. Easly was educated in the public schools of Johnstown, studied law and was admitted to regular practice in the Cambria County courts in 1865. There were only two older members of the bar association in point of service, these being the Hon. W. Horace Rose of Johnstown and Frank A. Shoemaker of New Jersey. Attorney Easly practiced law in Johnstown until the time of the flood when the family moved to Carrolltown which has since been the Easly home. Mr. Easly was married to Josephine Scanlan, daughter of the late Squire Scanlan, one of the best known residents in Cambria County in his day. Mrs. Easly died at Carrolltown in 1905.

Last winter she became quite ill and her husband took her to North Carolina, believing that the climate there might be beneficial to her, but it was not, and she returned home after staying there some time. For three months preceding her death, she was confined to her bed. The deceased was a faithful and earnest member of the Ebensburg Methodist Episcopal Church and the societies connected therewith. She had many friends in Ebensburg who will sincerely mourn her death. Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church here by Rev. Buell assisted by the Rev. F. I.

I am going over my back e-mails. I think you have the family here. I fell heir to Mary Strittmatter Overberger's family photos from a daughter of Pauline Strittmatter Donahue, Lois Donahue Burns/Byrne. Lois didn't know who anyone was. Sophia Huber/Hoover's family pictures were there, too, and a descendant of Sophia's older brother helped me out there. I am beginning to wonder if Fr. Fred was at one time Fr. Henry--some of the pictures are not labeled and I have been trying to compare them to my g-grandmother's album, Helena Strittmatter Holtz m Leonard Holtz. She never labeled any, but her daughter, my grandmother, Rose Holtz Kline and later her brother, Walter HOltz, both of whom lived to 100, labeled most of them. There is a Fr. Henry mentioned, and I didn't know who he was. Where did you get "Fordrad" as a middle name for Charles--he was always called "Ted"--Donahue? That is a new one on me. His brother, Bill was married to Laura Mae Holtz, youngest daughter of Walter Holtz [mentioned above] but Bill died not long ago. They had a sister, Delores, too. I knew them when I was a child and they were at the dating stage. [I was the oldest in my generation of Holtz/Strittmatters.] Bill got in touch with me to get family pictures for Laura Mae, and I found out that he came from Five Points [Walasha-Sp?], Chest Township, Clearfield County. His mother's family moved to Patton, so I can find the name. Five Points is where my Protestant grandmother and her family settled, and we were comparing notes there. I did find out Bill's mother's name, but it was not spelled "Fordrad." The RR was built in the 1880's as a coal road from Mahaffey ,[ the connection to NY Central] to Hastings and then Patton to Bradley Junction and then Cresson and the Pennsylvania RR. It is one of the few RR still open and operating. I can hear the whistle most nights as it goes through Patton. Sometimes it hauls coal. Up till at least 1960 there was a siding for lumber and supplies to the Strittmatter Brothers Mill. The rails to the Hastings sidings have been dug out and a walking path made. Our Kline family farm is about 3 miles from Hastings, and the family had to buy back the right of way. The "Kids" started roaring along the right of way with four wheelers, so my uncle dumped huge piles of dirt and stone from one crossing to the other. I can remember the steam trains that set the woods on fire. There was a "old swimming hole" under a bridge at "Straight Mile" where we swam before swimming pools. The engineer always tooted and waved to us. At any rate, this aside was to say that many people from Clearfield County came along the RR to the new town of Patton, mostly shopkeepers, but also miners. My grandmother got a job as a telephone operator and supported her father and mother--he had only $15 a month for civil war pension [James Woods m Phylinda Wagner]. Patton is where she met my grandfather. Crissy Woods m Ambrose Feighner. I guess Germain and Casmir were the twins who died. Sophia was so tiny and thin she was unbelievable. Fr.

Thanks for everyone's responses'. It appears that the problem is that when I access Ancestry via the Family Tree Maker 2012 version link to Ancestry, I can't print the records I want BUT if I access Ancestry directly, I have no problem printing what I need. Why is that? I have no idea and it defeats having FTM linked to Ancestry if I can't print out what I need when I get to Ancestry. Oh, well, bigger fish to fry. Best wises to everyone for a great Holiday Season and remember, only four months away from the 1940 census!!!!!! > Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:19:33 +0100 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [PACAMBRI] A lot happening at Ancestry > > Hello Jack, > > I didn't read the background to your question about printing WWI draft cards, but I have bought a very inexpensive "snapshot" tool called SnagIt (about $30), and it will take a picture of anything that you display on your screen (the whole screen or parts of it).
