Concealed Child’s Death There is confined in the country jail here a young lady whose case has attracted considerable attention through this end of the county. She is charged with having concealed the death of an illegitimate child and it is said that this is the second offense of the kind of which she has been suspect. As is provided by law she was returned by the Constable of the district in which she lived as having given birth to an illegitimate child at the last term of court and was brought here on December 6th on a process from the court. She refused to make information against the alleged father of the dead babe and county Detective Knee from evidence which he had collected charged her before Squire Waters of having concealed the death of the child. Since December 10th she has been locked up in default of $500 bail. Attorney J. F. McKenrick appearing for her, waived a hearing for the next term of court. The girl is Alta Gibson of Blacklick Township. Her mother, it is said, is dead. Alta had been employed in one of the lumber camps in the north of the county. The remarkable thing about the girl’s trouble is the fact that this is the second offense against morality in which she has been concerned. Evidence to convict was lacking the first time but Detective Knee warned her of the gravity of the offense which she has repeated. The girl, it is said, admits that a child was born, saying it died and her father buried it. _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, December 23, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 50 DEATHS Joseph Campbell McClain The sad news reached Patton Monday morning that Joseph Campbell McClain, aged 19 years, son of Mr. James A. McClain of Spangler, had died in the Sisters’ Hospital at El Paso, Texas, on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, the cause of his death being consumption. Joseph was well known in Patton having often visited his sister, Mrs. A. H. Lingle and had hosts of friends among the young people. For sometime it was evident he was a victim of that dread disease, consumption, and last August went to New Mexico in hope that the mild climate of that region would be of benefit. Instead however he gradually grew worse so he went to El Paso and entered the Sisters’ Hospital where every kind care and attention were bestowed upon him and word of his condition was sent his friends at Spangler. His father started immediately for El Paso and arrived at his bedside a few hours before his spirit took its flight and the broken-hearted father started east with the body. At this writing it has not been determined when or where the interment will take place. He is survived by two sisters and brothers, Mrs. H. S. Lingle of Patton; Miss Nan and Thomas, at home; and James of South Dakota; his mother having preceded him to the grave three years ago. To his mourning friends we extend heartfelt sympathy in the loss of their greatly beloved son and brother. _________________________________________________________________ When your life is on the go—take your life with you. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/115298558/direct/01/

Aroused Over Grade Crossing Grace Speicher Killed That the citizens of Cresson are aroused over the fact that a grade crossing in the borough is proving a death trap is evidenced by the verdict rendered by the coroner’s jury in the death of Grace Speicher, the five-year-old girl killed last Thursday by train No. 25. The jury recommended that the Pennsylvania Railroad company either construct an overhead bridge of an underground passage. The inquest was held by Coroner Miller Saturday at Cresson. The testimony of the five witnesses was to the effect that the crossing, which is located just west of the C. & C. overhead bridge is most dangerous at all times because the view of the tracks east on the town is shut off by the abutments of the railroad bridge. It was shown that although caution was observed by a sister of the little girl killed last week, the little one was struck before she could see the train. It was brought out also that the engineer did not blow the whistle as he should have done but instead pulled the cord when he was almost on the spot at which the accident occurred. The witnesses examined are Gladys Speicher who was with her sister when the latter was killed; W. E. Glass, Chas. M. Bell and T. T. Barrett. The jury was composed of T. A. Coop, M. L. McGuire, C. F. Buck, P. M. Brown, V. P. Sanker, J. W. Anderson. The verdict was as follows: “We, the jury, find that Grace Speicher came to her death through being struck by P. R. R. train No. 25 on a grade crossing. We would recommend that the Pennsylvania Railroad in order to do away with the death trap, build a subway or an overhead bridge, thus making passage safe.” Mrs. Annie Patton Gardner Mrs. Annie Patton Gardner, widow of James Gardner of Hollidaysburg, died at her home in that place last week. John Boxler John Boxler of Summerhill, died Saturday evening at the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, from shock following an operation for a complaint from which he had been suffering many years. A short time ago the physicians in attendance on him discovered signs of a cancerous growth and decided to operate. He was removed to the hospital and the operation performed Friday night. He rallied slightly after the surgeons ended their work but later took a turn for the worse and sank rapidly until death came. The deceased was born in Johnstown and was forty-five years old. He was married to Miss Annie Boyer of Summerhill many years ago and she, with six children, survive. One brother and two sisters also survive. The funeral took place Monday morning from St. Joseph’s German Catholic church, Johnstown, of which the deceased was a member and the remains were laid to rest in the church cemetery at Geistown. Dr. Lowman Dead After a period of failing health which extended over about a year, but had assumed the form of serious illness only recently, Webster B. Lowman, died at his residence, No. 423 Main Street, Johnstown, Monday morning at 2:55 o’clock. His end was without pain and he passed peacefully into rest, surrounded by the members of his family and Dr. Longwell, a personal friend and one of the attending physicians during this last illness, the other being Dr. George W. Wagoner, both of whom did everything that medical science could suggest or their friendship conceive for the relief and comfort of their distinguished fellow practitioner but to no avail. The cause of Dr. Lowman’s death was chronic nephritis or Bright’s disease. _________________________________________________________________ You live life beyond your PC.

Mrs. Mary A. Davis Mrs. Mary A. Davis, one of the oldest residents of Johnstown, passed away at 11:30 o’clock Sunday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Williams of 520 Coleman Avenue that city. Her death was due to the general decline of old age, she being in her 89th year, having been born April 20, 1816. The deceased was a daughter of Evan and Sarah Davis Griffith and was born in Cardiganshire, Wales, coming to this country in 1840 with her parents, who located first near Philadelphia, thence removing to Indiana county and after a short residence there to Cambria county, in Carroll, afterward Barr township. In 1846 she was married to John D. Davis, also a native of Cardiganshire, who emigrated from Wales with his parents in 1844 and later also became a resident of Carroll township. To this union were born the following children: Evan of Clarion county; Mary Jane, married to W. W.

Maybe others can confirm, but I think it depends on where in Mineral Point the person lived. I technically grew up there (our mailing address town was Mineral Point), but we lived near the Hinkston Run Dam and went to Central Cambria. I know those who lived on the other side of the township line or down Mineral Point Road didn't.

Thanks to Bill Plack, who has contributed more of his research to PAGenWeb Guide to veteran grave markers in Pennsylvania. Bill has contributed photos of flag monuments for the Civil War Page, and for the War on Terrorism Page. These pages can be found on our main guide to veteran markers page at http://www.usgwarchives.net/pa/1pa/tscarvers/veteran-markers/veteran-markers.htm If anyone has any additional examples of grave side memorials to honor our veterans, please email me off list. We are particularly interested in locating flag memorials for the Mexican American War.

Hi All, I just spent two weeks in Iowa for a family death and I returned at midnight last night. I had 440 emails and just dumped the junk stuff. I have 173 left. So I promise to answer as I have time - between laundry, resting, such. We drove from Tacoma both ways so it was a verrrry long trip and my butt needs to be off a chair for awhile....grin. Yours in Research, Beth
