Thomas L. Jones Thomas L. Jones, one of the poor directors of Cambria county, and one of its best known and most highly respected citizens, died at 8 o’clock Tuesday at his home in Cambria township near Ebensburg, aged 71 years. The cause of his death was heart trouble from which he had been ill for only a short time. The deceased was born in Wales and after the death of his parents was adopted by Lewis Williams who brought him to this country when he was seven years of age. Mr. Williams settled in Cambria township and died a year after his removal to this county and Mr. Jones was apprenticed to the late Evan W. Roberts with whom he remained until he was 18 years of age. He was for many years employed by the Barkers as a teamster and about seventeen years ago purchased a fine farm near Ebensburg which he operated successfully until the time of his death. Mr. Jones had an important part in every useful phase of the life of the community where he made his home. While living in Ebensburg he served the East ward for many terms in council. In 1895 he was elected a poor house director on the Republican county ticket and at the time of his death was nearing the close of his third term. He was a lifelong member of the Ebensburg Congregational church and had served it for many years as a superintendent of the Sunday school. He was the oldest member of the Highland Lodge of Odd Fellows having united with it in 1857. The deceased was a veteran of the Civil war, having served in Company C, Two Hundred and Ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers and was a member of John M. Jones, G. A. R. Post of Ebensburg. In 1857 Mr. Jones was united in marriage to Miss Martha Williams of Cambria township, who survives him with eight children: Chalmer and Lizzie, the latter the wife of Herschel Jones of Kane; and the following of Ebensburg: William; Dr. F. C.; Miss Annie, a teacher in the public schools; Herman T., superintendent of schools of Cambria County; Leonard, principal of the schools at Hastings, and Fred who is employed by the Johnstown Supply House. The funeral was held in the First Congregational Church of Ebensburg at 2:15 o’clock Thursday afternoon, the Rev. J. Twyson Jones conducting the obsequies. Highland Lodge No. 428, I. O. O. F., of which the deceased was a member, had charge of the services at the grave while John M. Jones Post, G. A. R. of Ebensburg held short services at the church following the regular one.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, October 14, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 40 DEATHS The Late Brother Malchi Brother Malchi, who died at the monastery in Loretto on Tuesday of last week, was one of the oldest members of the Franciscan Order, being in the eightieth year of his age. He had been a member of the Loretto community for more than fifty years, having located there with the founders of the monastery. He was a native of Ireland, his name before entering the Franciscan Brotherhood being Kaiely. Interment was made in the cemetery at Loretto reserved for the monks. Chest Springs Lady Dead Mrs. Margaret Buck, wife of the late Jacob Buck, died at her home near Chest Springs, this county, Monday, after a short illness. She is survived by several children. The funeral took place Wednesday morning with interment in Chest Springs. Found Dead Near Wilmore, Wilmore, Oct. 12: While picking coal along the P. R. R. tracks about 8 o’clock this morning a little girl named Pearson discovered the dead body of a man lying on the left bank of the Conemaugh river directly under the arched railroad bridge, a few hundred yards below the local station. Investigation showed the remains to be those of William Frazer, 58 years old, who lived in Summerhill township, about half a mile south of here, and who had evidently come to his death by falling from the bridge some time during the night. Coroner E. L. Miller, who came to Wilmore on the noon train, viewed the body at J. H. Cullen’s undertaking establishment but decided that an inquest would be unnecessary as all the surrounding circumstances pointed to accidental death. The marks on the body indicate that the man landed on his head, a deep fracture of the back of the skull being the only considerable injury that could be discovered. No other bones were broken. The dead man is survived by his wife and one son, at home, and these two daughters: Mrs. John Hardy of Pitcairn; and Mrs. William Crum of Wilmore. A 12-year-old son was accidentally shot at Wilmore about twelve years ago. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

Found Dead Near Lovett Considerable mystery surrounds the death of John Murphy of the Tenth Ward, Johnstown, near Lovett, some time between 8 o’clock Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. Coroner Miller held an inquest into the affair and after all available testimony was placed before his jury, they brought in a verdict to the effect that the deceased had come to his death from the effects of a blood clot on the brain caused by a fracture of the skull near the left ear and that the circumstances of the case were suspicious and seemed to indicate foul play. Monday afternoon Mr. Murphy in company with James Fardy, William Keyser and John Heistern, all Conemaugh borough men, hired a surrey at Dell’s livery stable. It is said that all the men had been drinking. It was the intention of the party to go to Portage where Keyser had a sister whom he wished to visit. They left Johnstown about 2 o’clock and about 8 in the evening turned up on Lovett, after having lost their way. When about 100 yards from Ed Costlow’s hotel, just at the Beaver spur which leaves the Pennsylvania railroad there, the front axle on the surrey which they were driving broke. Fardy and Keyser made their way to the hotel, put up the horses and went to bed. What happened to Heistern and Murphy is not known. Tuesday morning Heistern was found asleep behind the hotel stable, after a railroader had found Murphy’s remains over in the woods with a couple of ugly bruises back of the left ear. The dead man was clad only in his coat, vest and shirt; his trousers, drawers, shoes and hat had been taken off. Coroner Miller was notified of the ghastly find and ordered the body removed to a place where it would be protected from the gaze of the curious spectators. He started at once to drive to Lovett and arrived there before dinner. The body was taken from a toolhouse in which it had been placed to a school house near by, the only available place where Dr. Miller performed a post mortem examination and discovered the clot on the brain. The deceased was a man of about fifty-eight years of age. He was a bachelor and lived with his widowed mother and three sisters at No. 1088 Center street. Aside from his mother, Bridget, and these three sisters – Mary, Elizabeth and Bridget, at home – he is survived by Annie, wife of Thomas Matthews of the Second ward; Michael of Conemaugh street; and Patrick of Conemaugh. Local relatives were notified of the occurrence at Lovett and Undertaker Brady and a brother of the deceased left the city that afternoon to bring the remains home. Death of Thomas P. Reese Thomas P. Reese, a well-known citizen of Ebensburg, passed away at his residence in the East Ward, Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock, aged seventy-seven years. He had been sick about a week with general debility. Besides his sister, Mrs. James, Mr. Reese is survived by three sons and a daughter – Winfield of Johnstown; Miss Harriet, at home; and Joseph and Edward of Johnstown. He is also survived by four grandchildren, all of whom reside in Johnstown. Thomas P. Reese has resided in the vicinity of Ebensburg all his life. For many years he was engaged in farming in Cambria township. He was a lifelong member of the Congregational church of Ebensburg and was a staunch Republican. The funeral took place at Ebensburg Monday afternoon and interment was made in Lloyd cemetery. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, September 30, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 38 DEATHS Edward B. Kittell Edward B. Kittell, a well-known Ebensburger, while walking through the streets of Pittsburg near the corner of Second avenue and Grant streets, on Monday last, fell to the pavement as the result of an attack of heart disease and before aid could reach him, expired where he fell. Mr. Kittell was a son of the late well-known attorney, William Kittell and Mrs. Margaret Kittell of Ebensburg and was born in this place on the 20th of November, 1852. Early in life Mr. Kittell became assistant cashier in the bank of William Lloyd & Son in Ebensburg which position he filled with ability during the existence of the bank. Later he was made cashier of the Bank of E. Roberts & Sons of Ebensburg and likewise held this position for some years and by his close attention to business, his honesty and readiness to accommodate the patrons of the bank, Mr. Kittell gained the respect and good will of the entire community. While he was thus engaged as cashier in the Roberts bank, the railroad contracting firm of Collins Bros. was organized and recognizing Mr. Kittell’s ability as a bookkeeper and accountant, Collins Bros. secured his services and made him their chief book keeper. Although the position required the services of an expert to fill it satisfactorily Mr. Kittell acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his employers and added to his list of friends a host of people whose respect he never ceased to commend. About 1895 the firm of Collins Bros. owing to the death of Philip Collins, one of the members of the firm, was reorganized under the name of Clement & Co., and Mr. Kittell was retained by the new company in his old position which he held until less than a year ago when Mr. Thomas Shoemaker, one of the stockholders of Clement & Co., retired from the firm and went to the contacting business on a large scale for himself. Mr. Kittell chose to go with Mr. Shoemaker and was attending to business for Mr. Shoemaker when the cold hand of death was laid upon him and he passed into eternity. For a few days previous to his death, Mr. Kittell complained somewhat of a pain in the region of his heart and had intended to consult a physician concerning his condition on the day he was prostrated. After falling to the pavement his remains were removed to the morgue in Pittsburg to await identification. His name was first established by means of railroad passes and letters found in his pocket. A newspaper reporter who chanced along knew of Father Wm. Kittell, brother of the deceased and chancellor of the Pittsburg diocese of the Catholic Church, and immediately telephoned to that clergyman. Upon his arrival at the morgue, Father Kittell, not having seen his brother for some years was a trifle uncertain as to his identity until Mr. John A. Schwab of Loretto who had heard of the fatally came to the morgue and identified the dead man as Edward B. Kittell of Ebensburg. The remains of the deceased were brought to Ebensburg on Tuesday afternoon on the 3:20 train and taken to the residence of Mrs. Maude Collins, his sister. Besides the brother and sister above named, the deceased is survived by two other brothers, Rev. Ferdinand Kittell, pastor of St. Michael’s church of Loretto, and Attorney M. D. Kittell of Ebensburg and two sisters, Sister Bernadine, Mother Superior of the Sisters of Mercy at Webster Avenue Convent, Pittsburg and Mrs. Margaret Henry of Williamsport, Pa. Two brothers, James Alfred and Francis B. Kittell preceded him to the grave some years ago. The funeral took place Thursday morning at 9 o’clock and after solemn high mass of requiem his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the church. The following clergymen were present at the service: Rev. William Kittell, celebrant of Cathedral, Pittsburg; Martin Ryan, deacon of St. Bridget’s church, Pittsburg; J. J. Ludden, sub-deacon of St. Thomas’ church, Ashville; P. Fox, master of ceremonies, Church of the Holy Name, Ebensburg; Henry McHugh of St. Agnes Church, Soho, Pittsburg; John Boyle of St. John’s church, Johnstown; Wm. Graham of St. Patrick’s Church, Pittsburg; Francis O’Donnell of St. John’s church, Johnstown; Wm. Dwyer of St. Francis College, Loretto. Pall Bearers James McClune, Spangler; John A. Schwab, Loretto; Thomas A. Sharbaugh, Carrolltown; J. B. Denny, H. H. Myers, A. W. Buck, Fergus C. Lloyd, E. C. Parrish, D. A. McGough, H. A. Englehart, John C.

I want to add my thanks to Patty for all the time and effort she has put in to posting these newspaper articles. I've been able to add a lot of articles to my family files, but even when there aren't articles specific to my family it is interesting to read these pages. It really illuminates the times in which our ancestors lived, the diseases and accidents that affected their lives, the sentiments that colored their vision of their world. Sometimes the contrast is startling between the grisly details of the accidents and the flowery phrases written about the newly married couples. Thanks again, Patty, for your generous contributions to the list! For anyone interested in the article below, Connie was a nickname for Constantine. He was aged 15 when he died. His father had died in 1902 of typhoid fever. The family name is spelled variously Lehmeyer, Laymire, and is now spelled Lehmier.

An item of interest was just posted on ebay. It is item # 190261784114. This is a postcard of the Chapel of Demetrius Gallitzin, Loretto, PA c. 1915. The postcard is addressed to Miss Fannie Farmer in Dysart, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Scans of both sides of the postcard are shown. Walt Bennett

I am eager to correspond with you (or anyone else on the List) about this Annie Peden! Would love to know what your connection to her is -- I hope/believe she may be my gggmother -- would love additional info to prove/disprove that. >From searching the Cambria web site, I know there are two "other" Annie Pedens... one married to a John Theys, one married to a (John?) Zimmerman. However, "my" Annie Peden was the wife of James Peden... thus I think the writeup in the Cambria Freeman was about "my" Annie and not one of the other two. Here's a summary of what I know about "my" Annie....working from memory, but can go back & dig up the details if you want to correspond more. Born in Ireland (per censuses) "about 1840"... Maiden name Barbour/Barber. About 1860 she married John JAMES. He was born Ireland (per census) about 1840. First three children, all born Ireland: -- Florence James b about 1861-62-- later married Henry HUSTED in Tioga Co , -- Sarah James b abt 1863-64 -- later married Hiram BABCOCK, lived Clearf Co. & Lycoming Co. -- John Christopher James b 10 June 1865, Midleton, Cork, Ire. November 1866 Annie & 3 kids arrived NY (Castle Garden) by boat. (Presumably spouse John preceded her; haven't found his ship yet). -- About 1868 the family is allegedly in Erie Co/Buffalo NY (birthplace of daughter Elizabeth). (Elizabeth later married Martin DUGAN of Osceola Mills, Clearfield Co.) -- By 1870 Census, family is in Arnot, Bloss Twp, Tioga Co. with baby Albert Francis James, born Jan 1870. (He later married a HENESSY of Clearfield Co, Osceola area.) -- About 1874(?) a mine accident kills John James (Sr.) and injures his 9-year-old son John Christopher, who is also working in the same mine. -- About 1875, the widow Annie (Barbour) JAMES married James PEDEN, who immigrated from Scotland about 1872. They continue living in Arnot, Bloss Twp. -- In 1880, the family still in Arnot, but enumerated as "PENDAN". All kids enumerated as "PENDAN" also -- but in real life they always used/kept the JAMES surname. (there are no new kids... thus I suspect no offspring born to Annie & James Peden.) (In 1880, eldest daughters Florence & Sarah are living in two other households as domestic servants.) -- In 1883, the Wellsboro newspapers have mention of Mr & Mrs James Peden, so they are still in the Bloss Twp area. -- Family lore says the two boys, John Christopher and Albert Francis, worked slate mines in Blackwell (Tioga Co) and Jersey Mills (Lycoming Co)... presumably around this time frame. -- By April 1887, John Christopher James is in Clearfield Co (Osceola Mills area) where he marries Mary Alice McManamy. I suspect the whole family group migrated there more or less concurrently, since the 1900 census shows all of them (I think) living in Clearfield Co, including Annie and James PEDEN. (But all in different neighborhoods, I think.) Have searched for several years but found NO TRACE of Annie & James PEDEN after 1900, until I saw the "Cambria Freeman" post about the death of Annie Peden!!!! I cant understand what they might have been doing in Ehrenfield, Cambria Co (why they left Clearfield at that time)... hoping someone with expertise in Ehrenfield can tell me if there was some "boom" industry that might have lured them there. I have NO info as to Annie's cemetery location, nor James Peden's death date/cemetery. I thought they'd be in Clearfield Co but have not found them there so far. My searches to date on the Cambria site (cem transcriptions, Johnstown newspaper death index) have not shown even a listing for Annie....much less husband James. Am desperate to know about the death/burial of this couple... ANY help appreciated. I do not know of any siblings or parents of Annie BARBOUR/BARBER. Internet searches of Irish sites have not turned up anything yet. Thanks in advance for ANY help/advice/sharing!
