About this time he married Emma Lloyd, a daughter of Evan Lloyd, and afterwards operated mills in various parts of the county, he being one of the best millers of the old burr process ever known in this vicinity. He subsequently bought the farm on which Robert S. Roberts now lives, about four miles south of Ebensburg.

Hughes Ex-Steward of the Almshouse Dies at His Home in the East Ward Tuesday Morning Sketch of His Life Thomas J. Hughes, ex-Steward of the poor house, died at his home in the East Ward on Tuesday morning last after a very short illness from heart failure, superinduced by an old malady aggravated by grip contracted about ten days ago. During the first week of court he served as a juror in apparently his usual state of health. Mr. Hughes was the oldest son of John T. and Anna William Hughes, and was born in North Wales on December 27, 1844, but his parents soon afterwards emigrating to America and his father having soon afterwards purchased several hundred acres of land in Cambria and Summerhill Township, built a house of the farm where his son, L. J. Hughes, now lives. When quite young Thomas J. Hughes was afflicted with white swelling which his service in the army in the Union army as a member of Battery D, Fifth Heavy Artillery Pennsylvania Volunteers doubtless aggravated. On November 5, 1864 he was captured by the rebels and confined in Libby Prison until February 1865. After his return from the war, Mr. Hughes became a sawyer by trade and worked on several mills for Thomas Griffith, P. M. Woleslagle & Son and others. In 1873 he married Miss Eliza Ellis, of near Wilmore and to this union the following children were born: John, now dead; Gertrude May, wife of Herbert Evans of the Eighth Ward, Johnstown; Edna, wife of Joseph Anderson of Maple Avenue, Johnstown; Mary, wife of Cyrus W. Davis of Conemaugh and Leah and Martha. Sometime about the beginning of the Eighties, the deceased bought the old Dimond farm in Munster Township and erected thereon a fine house and a large barn. One day while plowing on the farm, his son’s clothes accidentally caught fire from a burning brush heap and in extinguishing the flames, Mr. Hughes was severely burned on his leg where the old sore had been and this gave him much trouble at the time and probably had much to do with his sudden demise. His first wife having died many years ago, the deceased married Marian Roberts, who, dying soon afterwards, he subsequently married Wilhelmina Young, who survives him. In 1893 Mr. Hughes was appointed steward of the poor house in which position he served until his resignation last fall. Besides his wife the deceased is survived by Mrs. William Howell and J. J. Hughes of Cambria Township; Isaac J. Hughes of Summerhill Township; Elias J. Hughes of Iowa City, Iowa; Mrs. Reese Roberts, of Ormer, O., and Mrs. David T. Edwards of the Sixth ward, Johnstown. The deceased was a member of the Congregational Church, Ebensburg and a member of Summit Lodge No. [number faded], Free and Accepted Masons, Past commander of Captain John M. Jones Post G. A. R. He was also a stalwart Republican. The funeral which was in charge of Captain John M. Jones Post G. A. R. of this place took place this afternoon with services in the Congregational church of which Mr. Hughes had been a true and faithful member by the Rev. J. Twyson Jones, interment in Lloyd’s cemetery. Death of Valentine Cramer Nonagenarian Goes to His Reward Valentine Cramer, one of the most highly respected citizens of the county, passed away at his home in Portage Township Saturday in the 97th year of his age. The deceased was born in Germany, but in early life emigrated to America where he married Mary Beiter who survives him with the following children: John H. of Summerhill Township; Tillie, now Mrs. George Buck of Portage Township; Rose, wife of J. H. McConnell of Summerhill Township; Mary, Frank and Valentine, at home; and Margaret, intermarried with John Kline of Portage Borough. About 50 years ago Mr. Cramer bought a farm in Summerhill Township in which township he held several offices, each as school director, supervisor and township auditor. When Portage Township was created out of Washington and Summerhill, his farm was included in the new township. He was a man considerably above the average in intelligence, education and moral worth. He was a lifelong member of the Catholic church and for many years a member of the choir of St. Bartholomew’s church, Wilmore, and from that edifice on Tuesday morning last at 9 o’clock there was said a high mass of requiem by the rector, the Rev. James B. Egan, after which interment was made in the cemetery near the church. Joseph Beiter of Johnstown and George Beiter of East Conemaugh, Prof. R. H. Beiter of Gallitzin, Casper Beiter of Portage and Louis Beiter of Wilmore are nephews of the deceased. Many relatives of the family live in the northern part of Cambria County.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, February 21, 1908 Volume 42, Number 7 Deaths from 50 Years Ago “Died” at Cattawissa, Pa. on Friday the 12th, inst., Mr. David Ritter, aged about 63 years. The deceased lived for many years in this community. He built and owned Eliza Furnace on the Blacklick and was well and favorably known in this community. Eliza Furnace is still standing on the outskirts of Vintondale. George J. Rodgers of Ebensburg was associated with Ritter in buying the land on which the furnace was built, but withdrawing from the partnership, a man named Irvin of Huntingdon County became associated with Ritter in the enterprise. The furnace was finished in 1846, at which time ex-sheriff John A. Blair of Ebensburg worked at building a boarding house near the furnace. Isaac Crawford put up the bellows on the fanhouse.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, February 14, 1908 Volume 42, Number 6 Deaths from accident Disastrous Wreck near Cresson, Pa. Passenger and Freight Train Collide near Crossing of Pike on C. & C. Branch Engineer John McNelis, of Altoona, Fatally Injured Dies the Same Evening in Altoona Hospital The worst wreck that has occurred on the Cambria & Clearfield Branch of the PRR for the past fifteen years took place a short distance west of the crossing of the Pittsburg pike about a mile west of Cresson on Monday morning last. From all the information at hand it appears that the northbound passenger train, the scheduled time of which to leave Cresson is 9:20, was that morning about an hour late in taking its departure, having, it is reported, orders to run to Munster siding and there switch over for [two words faded] Susquehanna freight, on the time of which it was then running. By one of those unaccountable occurrences which often take place, the freight engineer, John McNeelis (sic), had orders to run to the Cresson yards, thus overlapping the orders of the passenger train which, hauled by two engines, pulled out from Cresson at a good rate of speed to make up for lost time; but when near the end of the Cresson siding, emerging from a piece of woods sparsely timbered, on a down grade, on a left curve to a sump near the crossing of the pike where once stood a steam saw mill, from which towards to Luckett’s station, a sharp right curve, the view across which is obstructed by the timber left standing from the lumbering operations of forty years ago and a considerable undergrowth of young timber, when the trainmen were apprised of impending danger by a trackhand sent by sub-division boss, Thomas Karns, to flag the train. Karns at the same time sending another man to endeavor to stop the freight then rounding the curve from Luckett’s on the down grade into the sump before mentioned. Instantly the brakes on the passenger train were applied and this prompt action doubtless prevented the piling up of the passenger cars. To slacken the speed of the heavy coal train was a more difficult matter, as it was being pushed by an engine, the view from which across the curve was obstructed by the woods mentioned and the engineer was on the outside of the curve and the trains went together with terrific force, as may be judged from the annexed cut. The impact of the collision aroused the passengers of the train to the realization of the fact that an accident had occurred and no one was seriously injured; with one impulse, they alighted from the coaches which remained on the track and began the search for the injured trainmen of both trains. The three engines were found to be a mass of wreckage, one of the passenger engines as will be seen in the picture being piled on top of the wreckage of the other two. One baggage car was smashed to flinders and several coal cars had been thrown bodily forward, the coal covering the wreckage of the engines. From underneath the debris, John E. McNelis, the engineer of the pulling engine of the freight train was taken. Both feet and one arm had been crushed, the hand lying under one of the wheels of his engine. As he was being lifted up he is reported to have directed one of the bystanders to get his orders as they would show that he was not to blame. Rev. Father James Graven, of Summit, administered to him spiritually, after which he was, with some of the other injured trainmen, hurried to an Altoona hospital where he died about 5 o’clock the same evening. The other injured trainmen were: Ralph F. Dewalt of Cherry Tree, McNelis’ fireman, scalds of face and contusion of right leg, in Altoona hospital with condition more serious than at first supposed. Joseph E. Sharkey of 1718 Union Ave., Altoona, brakeman on freight train, lacerations of face and scalp, scalds of face, hands, arms and neck, contusion of back and fracture of fifth rib, in Altoona hospital, condition serious. S. Grant Johnson of Cherry Tree, aged 42 years, engineer of passenger engine, lacerations of the left shoulder, at the Altoona Hospital. Theodore Haney of Barnesboro, fire man on passenger engine, left side contused and body bruises sustained in jumping. J. A. Eselman of Cresson, baggage master, back and legs injured and body bruised. C. C. Baker of Cresson, engineer of passenger engine, lacerations of face and body, contusions and bruises. Horace Ross of Cresson, riding in baggage car, slight contusions and bruises of body. A. J. Wylie of Cresson, mail clerk, lacerations of head and body bruises and slight contusions. John E. McNelis, the dead engineer, was a son of Anthony McNelis and Catharine McNelis, the latter now deceased, and was born in Johnstown forty-seven years ago, but the family subsequently removing to the mountain in the vicinity of Wopsononock, where the father for many years conducted farming operations and vegetable gardening for the Altoona markets on a large scale, he grew to manhood there. Twenty-three years ago he went to Altoona and secured employment from the PRR and since that time resided in that city, his late residence being 2322 Beale Avenue. He was, for nineteen years, an engineer and was considered a most reliable and trustworthy man at the throttle, careful at all times, and had met with success in his calling, having but few accidents to his long career. He was held in high esteem by his follow trainmen and his death caused regret among his wide circle of friends. He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic church, a member and past chief engineer of Jerry C. Burley Division, No. 287, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief Association. He was married on May 27, 1890 at Loretto to Miss Olive E. Topper, who survives with eight children: Clair, Catherine, Bernadetta, Mary, John, Francis, Gerald, and Olive, all at home. He is also survived by his aged father, Anthony McNelis of Coupon, Pa., and these brothers and sisters: James of Hastings; W. S. of Altoona; Mary, Annie, Bernard and Joseph of Coupon; Frank of Gallitzin; Peter of Barnesboro and Catherine of Altoona. He was a cousin of Hon. E. T. McNeelis (sic) of Johnstown and was as well and as favorably known throughout his native county as in Blair. The funeral of Engineer John E. McNeelis whose death in the Altoona Hospital on Monday evening resulted from injuries received in the terrible railroad accident near Cresson the morning of that day, occurred yesterday morning after a high mass of requiem in the church of the Sacred Heart, Altoona, of which he had been a member.

It originally started asSomerset and Mineral Point Railroad, with line from Rockwood then called MineralPoint to Somerset in early 1870s, and the rest of the way to Johnstown around 1880 after being reorganized as the Somerset and Cambria Railroad.
