Quick update on this-- We had to close Saint Joseph Church about three years ago.? The heating system went out and we could not afford to?fix it.? The church is?closed completely, and no services of any kind are held there. Saint John Gualbert used to be known as the co-cathedral while Sacred Heart in Altoona was known as the cathedral, but this changed about 20 years ago when Saint John's became a cathedral. Originally, Our Lady of Mercy in Prospect and Saint Joseph were merged into the Cathedral parish, and they both became chapels, not co-cathedrals. Our Lady of Mercy was closed first, but Saint Joseph remained in use as a chapel until the problem with the heating system forced us to close it. --Debra -----Original Message----- From: Brian L Cartwright <brian.cartwright2@verizon.net> To: Bob Wissinger <bwissinger@buckeye-express.com>; 'Sue Strick' <sue@strick1.com>; 'Cambria PA mailing list' <PACAMBRI@rootsweb.com> Sent: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:07 pm Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] St Joseph's Church in Johnstown Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 8:17 PM >A 1922 obituary for Joseph Strick, states that he married Quintina > Straub (Staub) in St Joseph's Catholic Church when the edifice stood at > the upper end of Singer St (Conemaugh Boro). > I checked the Cambria County website, but could find no reference to > this church.

I notice that there's been much talk about those who served in the Civil War from Cambria Co. PA, were mustered through Ebensburg. My g.grandfather, John Wesley SCOTT, mustered through Holidaysburg. I believe these area's are close in proximity In the end, did they all catch the train together on their way to Harrisburg or am I not getting the conception? Dorothy **************From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay up-to-date with the latest news. (http://aol.com?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000023)

Does anyone have a copy of any Scott research? They were/are settled in Cambria and Blair counties in the 1800--1900-- & 2000 where my Scott families lived. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone on this and am willing to share the Scott genealogy that I have. Thank you.

Anyone ever heard of Veronica Fischer. She died in 1899 at age 80 in Philadelphia, PA. She is the sponsor to Mary Fischer Baptism in Philadelphia, PA in 2 Mar 1873. I have Mary Fischer b. 21 Dec 1872, Philadlelphia, PA Parents: John Fischer and Barbara Fischer Married 30 Oct 1894, Ashville, Cambria Co., PA Spouse: John James Cawley Died: 31 Mar 1931, Ashville, Cambria Co., PA I have had contact with a Fischer/Fisher family from Baltimore, MD who are related to Veronica Fischer but don't know her relationship to our Fisher family. They have also kindly sent me a photo of Veronica Fischer made in Philadelphia, PA They did not understand why she was there and photographed there. Veronica Fischer actually died and was buried in Philadelphia, PA. That was also a surprise for them. I will be happy to share and would love to compare notes with anyone out there who has an interest in this family or those connected. Thank you, Pattie Patricia Fisher Hamill

I just want to say Thank You and remind all of you what a wonder group of people you are in sharing Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness. As I said in my email query, I can always depend on you people on this list. And since my question was rather generic in nature referring to the army I thought I would find help with you. I had also subscribed to the Ohio-Veterans list since my William Collopy appeared to enlist in the army in Cincinnati Ohio. I thought this would be the list to find out my answers. I had one person respond informing me what the GCMO stands for. I had another person respond with rude negative criticism so I ignored the email. As it turns out that person saw me online this morning and IMed me to talk. I did not realize at first who it was until he mentioned the subject of veterans. As I tried to keep the conversation positive thinking he was attempting to help with my research, I soon found out otherwise. He criticized my credentials, my way of doing research and the fact that it might appear that William was an army deserter. So What? We all have skeletons in our closets. So I discontinued the contact. I have blocked him from further contact. So to you people from Cambria County, where ever you are in the country, thank you for being you.

Sharon, I responded to you off list and just now had second thoughts. I thought the "CGMO 83" related to an article published as in a list of offenses that leads to a court-martial, article 83. Now, I'm leaning to the phrase "CGMO 83 Dept MO 79" is more the clue. I suggested contacting the Department of Defense, now with my second thoughts about an Army court-martial, I'm hoping someone on the list leads you to find an Army archivist with access to a list of offenses in effect in 1879. I hate to start you off with a general suggestion (DOD) when someone can come up with a specific suggestion. Regards, Jane Many thanks to Tom for sending very interesting reading about the 19th. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matason, Thomas J To: pacambri@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 12:56 PM Subject: [PACAMBRI] Military Question Sharon, I suspect the Fort is Fort Garland, Colorado. (1858 - 1883) The purpose of Ft Garland was to protect settlers and roads from Ute and Apache raiders. I made this assumption because of a couple notes I found in the 19th Infantry history. During Reconstruction period the 19th Infantry was stationed in towns across Arkansas and in the 1870s, elements of the 19th guarded wagon trains to Fort Supply and Fort Dodge, Kansas while others guarded the railroad. Units of the 19th fought Indians at Sappa Creek and others were caught in a blizzard outside of Fort Wallace, Kansas in January of 1875. During the late 1870s the unit was awarded a battle campaign ribbon while fighting the Ute uprisings. In 1879 the 19th's commanding officer, Lt. Col Lewis received a fatal wound in a skirmish with Indians fighting under Chief Dull Knife. The 19th took part in the last major campaign against the Indians and then various companies of the 19th were scattered to lonely outposts throughout the West. Ft Garland appears to be one of those outposts.
