Isn't it interesting that they never refer to the poor woman by her name?

The deceased was seventy-five years of age, and one of Ebensburg's most highly-respected ladies. She had been married three times, her first husband being a Mr. Rager. Her second husband's name was Mr. Leidy, both having died many years ago. She is survived by her third husband--Mr. Henry Funk--and nine children, four by her first husband and five by her second. She was a true, devoted, and consistent member of the German Baptist Church all her life. The funeral took place on to-day at 9 o'clock A. M., leaving the house at that hour for the cemetery at Mundy's, in Jackson Township, where the remains were interred. Mrs. Nancy Fisher The subject of these lines, whose death occurred last Friday morning, was born in Somerset County on February 18, 1815, her maiden name being Campbell. When a child she was brought to this county and reared in Richland Township, where, in young womanhood, she united in marriage with the late George Fisher. To this union nine children were born, five of whom survive, viz: Noah Fisher, of Conemaugh; Lucy Ann, intermarried with John Custer and residing on Hinckston avenue, Fourteenth Ward, Johnstown; Mary, wife of Joseph Grusch, of Paint Township, Somerset County; George C. Fisher, of the Seventh Ward, Johnstown and John Fisher, of South Fork. The dead children were: William, a Union soldier in the late War who was starved to death in Libby Prison; Daniel, who departed this life in Croyle Township; Jerry, who died two and a-half years ago in the twelfth Ward, and Sarah, who was the wife of Daniel Gordon, of Scalp Level. In 1885 the deceased and her husband moved from Richland to Croyle Township. There they continued to reside until four years ago, when Mr. Fisher died and the bereaved wife went to live with her son at South Fork. Nearly two years ago she came to Johnstown to live with her daughter-Mrs. John Custer-of Hinckston avenue, Fourteenth Ward. Mrs. Fisher suffered greatly with rheumatism, and about a month ago gangrene made its appearance in one of her feet an finally caused her death. She was a member of the Evangelical Church nearly all her adult life, and was known by her neighbors as a kind and loving wife and mother. The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon, interment being made in Mt. Hebron Cemetery. Ernest Replogle Ernest Replogle, a brother of Mrs. A. W. Lyda, of this city, died at the home of his mother, on Brown street, East End, Blairsville, on Tuesday, March 17, 1896, of typhoid fever.

Beside his mother and sister, mentioned above, he is survived by four brothers-Chalmers A., of Freeport; Harry C., Clyde B., and Augusta P., of Blairsville. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the late residence of the deceased.

Hello Mary & Dawn & Beth, I thank you for your input regarding ElizabethBenddn/Bendon Myers. I gave a June 1845 date which was incorrect. I also calculated her birthday and put it at Dec. 21 1844. I do not have all the books available to me as you have and my research takes much longer. Thomas Benden/Bendon was the brother of my great-grandfather Simon Benden/Bendon. Their parents were Robert Benden/Bendon and Mary Caroline Trexler. I have this line and related lines to more than 15 generations. I use all records for verification and recheck often. How are you related to this line if at all? I sincerely appreciate your time and your input.

Hello List, Does anyone have access to any Johnstown City directories between 1851 and 1857? (Do such directories exist?) If so I am looking for members of the LEWIS family. Names include Henry (Andrew), Mary, Thomas, Henry, Phoebe, William. This family was in Danville, Montour Co, then appears on the Bloom, Columbia Co. census in 1850, then at some point lived in Johnstown before moving to Hollidaysburg. If there are no directories, any other ideas on how to find the Lewis name in Johnstown around that time period? Thank you for any help, Tomi _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows® connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/119463819/direct/01/

Hello Dawn, According to Nolt Cemetery records her given name was Elizabeth, and middle initial was J. I would believe her middle name was Jane after her mother Lydia Jane Bendon. My theory is she was born in June of 1845. This is speculation on my part at this time. Yes her parents were Thomas Bendon and Lydia Jane Miller.

How can I find out the family line of Coroner Miller ???

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, November 18, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 45 No Foul Play at Hastings The suspicions which were aroused on Friday by objection made by Mrs. John Gresco of Hastings to permitting an autopsy to be made on the remains of her husband, who was found dead in bed at his home, at the Commercial Hotel, in Hastings, was cleared by Coroner Miller without the formality of an inquest. It is very evident that Gresco died from natural causes. Dr. Miller went to Hastings Friday afternoon. It required just about five minutes for Dr. Miller to convince Mrs. Gresco that the law was acting in the matter of her husband’s death and that any objections on her part would be summarily overruled. He and Dr. D. S. Rice of Hastings then proceeded with the autopsy. They opened the skull and the cause of death was found at the top of it where there were evidences of a hemorrhage. The blood had not had time to clot and some three or four ounces of [word faded] fluid were found. Closer investigation revealed the fact that there had [word faded] been an injury inflicted upon the dead man’s brain a number of years ago. There was an adhesion of [words faded] the membrane to the brain [word faded] exact cause of the hemorrhage which was directly responsible for the death is not known. It was evident that Gresco had died suddenly. The man’s mental condition during the last three or four months of his life was explained by a softening of a considerable portion of the brain at the base. It is the opinion of both Coroner Miller and Dr. Rice that had Gresco lived a few months longer, it would have been necessary to confine him in an asylum to prevent him doing himself or others bodily harm. For some time before his death it was noticed that the hotel man had been becoming quite troublesome. The autopsy satisfied Dr. Miller that it would not be necessary to hold an inquest and he concluded his work by taking the testimony of a number of people who saw Gresco the day and night before he died. These witnesses include two men who had stayed up with him all night and had seen him go to sleep between 5 and 6 o’clock. He was found dead by his wife about 5 hours later. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, November 11, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 44 Held for Court Coroner E. L. Miller went to Ehrenfeld last Thursday and conducted the inquest into the death of Mike Yosh, who it is alleged, came to his death some days ago as the result of a gun shot fired by Josh Elosh. The jury in the case found Elosh guilty of shooting Yosh and recommended that he be held for court. Right there is the puzzling proposition to the officials of the county, Elosh is not to be found. It had been thought that he would be in Durancevile by Thursday morning but such was not the case. One man, however, is under arrest. He is now in jail but his name is unknown. The fellow, a foreigner, is accused of sheltering the man Elosh. _________________________________________________________________ Store, manage and share up to 5GB with Windows Live SkyDrive. http://skydrive.live.com/welcome.aspx?provision=1?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_skydrive_102008
