Hello all, and thanks to those of you who emailed me about St. Vladimir's. One of you forwarded the camgen webpage to me, and I spoke with one of the organizers there, who actually sent me a detailed map and photos of the cemetery! I love how helpful this listserv is. That said, I do have one more question. :) I found an obituary this week that references "St. Michael's Ukrainian Church" and says there was (is?) a church cemetery. The only St. Michael's Orthodox church I've been able to find is in Portage. I'm wondering if this would be the same church (this was back in 1936) or if the church merged with another and was closed. I have googled and haven't been able to come up with anything in Johnstown. The priest at the time was N.J. Woloshuk. Thanks very much again for all your help and happy new year!Joyce _________________________________________________________________ Send e-mail anywhere.

There is a Daniel A. Gray buried at St. Benedict's in Carrolltown. He died December 15, 1899. My research indicates he was struck by a train and killed. _www.camgenpa.com/cems/ecStBene01.html_ (http://www.camgenpa.com/cems/ecStBene01.html) I am not saying this is the Daniel Gray referred to in the obituary, but it may very well be. Sara Gray is not listed in the index, but we know the index is incomplete. The Daniel A. Gray buried at St; Benedict's in Carrolltown was the son of Philip A. Gray and Susanna Lantzy who are also buried there. In a message dated 12/30/2008 4:25:34 P.M. Central Standard Time, eflad@comcast.net writes: Hi Researchers, I need a little help here. I have Sarah Jones married to Daniel Gray. North Cambria News, Thursday, February 2, 1928 Mrs. Sara Gray, age 71, died last Friday at 6:00 o'clock at her home in Spangler from a complications of diseases. She was the widow of Daniel Gray. She is survived by the following children: Fidelis, New York City; Gilbert, Lawrence, and Harry, of Spangler; Elmer, at home; Mrs. E. Miller, St Benedict; Mrs Michael Byrnes, Barnesboro; and Mrs. Levi Kelly, of Spangler. ***She is survived by the following half-brothers and sisters: Edwin Jones, West Virginia; Hess Boring, Washington State: Mrs David Lawrence, and Mrs. Arthur Davis, of Barnesboro. The funeral mass was held at St. Patrick's Church in Spangler, and interment was made at St. Benedict [not sure if this means St. Joseph Church in St. Benedict, or St. Benedict's Church in Carrolltown.] The arrangements were in charge of M. J. Bacha Funeral Home. It says she has half-brothers and sisters. One half brother is Edwin Jones. To me this could indicate that her father was married prior to the birth of Sarah and Edwin is from his first marriage Now, it says Hess Boring. This could mean that her mother was also previously married to a ?? Boring and had Hess from that marriage, prior to the birth of Sarah. Anyway, does anyone know who the parents of Sarah Jones are and the first names of her sisters? Thanking you in advance.

Hello all, I was wondering if someone could tell me the exact location of this cemetery. I was home over the holidays and followed the directions on the East Taylor website (http://easttaylor.com/history.htm), but unfortunately following Hazel Street just took me down a back road that ended with no sign of a graveyard. I am familiar with St. Petka's (it's where my grandparents are buried), so I drove up there and looked around to see if I could see a sign for St. Vladimir's, too, but didn't see anything.)Thanks for the help, hope you all had wonderful holidays!Joyce _________________________________________________________________ Send e-mail faster without improving your typing skills. http://windowslive.com/online/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_speed_122008

Can someone tell me what can be done if a headstone is not engraved the way it was requested? I just recently figured out there was no room left on a tombstone for the military information. After going to see the stone I realized I was right. I didn't think there was anything that could be done, however, upon going through the deceased files, I found the military information was included in the request when the stone made & paid for years ago. The information was asked to be put on the base of the stone & I have never seen it put there before, but I do think that they should have made it known from the beginning that the information could not be put on the base of the stone. Can anyone make any suggestions or know if anything can be done.

Does anyone know what happened to the hand-carved wooden altarpiece that graced St. Benedict's (Carrolltown) sanctuary before it was removed in some fit of post-Vatican II liturgical exuberance (or should I say, vandalism). Does it still exist? Is it being conserved? Pat O'Neill

I typed her date of birth as 1992 when it should have read 1922. Thanks you for the unnecessary sarcastic comments, and your welcome for me taking the time to send it. _________________________________________________________________ It’s the same Hotmail®.
