You may be referring to the Community Arts Center of Cambria County if you are approaching the incline from the top of the mountain rather than the Johnstown side at the bottom. There is a painting of the cabin on their website along with their address and telephone number. http://www.caccc.org/ Don Callihan Royal Oak, MI -----Original Message----- From: pacambri-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pacambri-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of shadonkd35@aol.com Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 12:05 PM To: pacambri@rootsweb.com Subject: [PACAMBRI] Log Cabin There is a large log cabin that sits on top of Yoder Mountain just past where you would turn back to go to the incline plane.?

Marilyn wrote on here once that there is a "Potters Field" above the cemetery in St. Bernard's Cemetery & that it was for the burial of babies who did not get baptised before they died, or for other ("Catholics" I think) that had done criminal acts. Do they have a "Potters Fields" in all Catholic Cemeteries? Does that person in that Potters Field have had to have belonged to a Catholic family? The requirement to being buried in a Catholic Cemetery is still to have been baptised correct?

Brian, Thanks to you and all who told me where Ashtola is. Is Ashtola and New Ashtola at different locations? Are they just houses or towns with stores and churches? If a town, were they a company town?

Does anyone have information, or the ability to easily access the obituary or death record for Walter F. Gallaher, born October 1926 and died in 1942, buried in Beaver Valley Cemetery, Lyleville, PA (near Coalport, PA)? The names of Walter's parents were William Scott Gallaher, Sr., and Mary (Alexander) Gallaher.

Some of my family came from Ashtola and this is a town I have not heard of. Can anyone tell me what it is like there today? It must be near Windber. The biggest industry around the turn of the century was timbering. Edward Vose Babcock and five associates chartered the Babcock Lumber Company in 1898 after purchasing 17 tracts with 6,415 acres in Somerset County for $100,000. A sawmill was constructed along Shade Creek and equipped with a new Allis double-acting band saw, which enabled logs to be cut from both directions. A standard-gauge logging railroad was constructed through the Clear Shade area, and the town of Ashtola grew. In 1901, Babcock Lumber Company grew by incorporating the James Curry & Son operation. The company became the fourth largest producer of lumber in the state, producing 64 million feet of lumber in 1905. In 1913, the last log was cut at the Ashtola mill. In just 15 years, the Babcock Company had clear-cut the large virgin forest along the Allegheny Front, which today is known as the Babcock Division of Gallitzin State Forest.
