Genealogy is a madness and an addiction. Starts off as a curiosity, then an interest, then a drive, then a passion, then an addiction, then total madness. It is beyond hope when one is in a strange town and sees a cemetery and has to stop the car, get out and see if any names ring a bell for whom it told naught. That is the psychological analysis of this disease. James Thomas Rosenbaum 310 Melvin Street Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA 15904-1219 814-266-6855

George Talbot, convicted of burglary at the recent Quarter Sessions and sentenced to four years imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary, was removed thither on Monday by Deputy Sheriff, Wm. Linton. The celebrated trotting horse, Tacony, formerly owned in Johnstown, was recently sold in Cincinnati for one thousand dollars. He had beaten Flora Temple three times and was once sold for the handsome sum of seventy-seven hundred dollars.

Evans, the energetic proprietor of the news depot down town, informs us that he is prepared to accommodate the reading public with the Pittsburg DAILY DISPATCH at the low price of six cents per week. Those who wish to be posted on the great questions of the day would leave their names at his establishment. Infanticide in White Township The Cambria TRIBUNE of last week gives the particulars of a shocking case of infanticide that recently occurred in White township, this county. The facts are about as follows: A young unmarried girl, only sixteen years of age, named Ann Hartzel, who resided with a family named Smith, loved not wisely but too well, and on Monday evening, the 4th inst., was delivered of a child. Unwilling that the world should know her shame, the unhappy mother resolved to make way with her illegitimate offspring; and accordingly she concealed in under a pig- pen on the premises, intending doubtless to remove it to a place of greater security at her convenience. But Mr. Smith and two companions who were returning from church had their attention attracted by the cries of the infant, which was still alive; and after a brief search, they drew forth the baby from its hiding place. It was taken into the house and properly cared for, but owning to the injuries it had received, survived but about nine hours. In the morning a Coroner’s inquest was held upon the body and the facts developed that the back part of its head was crushed, its back broken and marks found upon its neck as if an attempt had been made to choke it to death. The girl admitted the maternity of the child, but denied having done it any violence. After a careful hearing of the facts, the jury rendered as their verdict that the child came to its death by violence at the hands of its mother, Ann Hartzel. The unnatural mother was brought to this place on Tuesday and was committed to jail to await her trial at our next Court. _________________________________________________________________ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/

Her owners had refused $1000 for her a short time previous to her death. Steam Saw-Mill Burned On Saturday night last, the steam saw-mill in Summerhill township, about two and a half miles from Portage station, owned by Jonathan Robinson of Altoona, was completely destroyed by fire. The fire occurred about two o’clock A.M. on Sunday morning and as the fire in the engine room had been extinguished at three o’clock on Saturday afternoon, it is presumed to have been the work of an incendiary. We understand that threats to burn the mill had been made during the week. The property destroyed is estimated to have been worth $2000. The machinery was much damaged. The mill was a new one, Mr. Robinson having just completed the erection of the machinery. No arrests have yet been made but it is to be hoped that the perpetrators of the dastardly deed will be brought to justice _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/

Hemlock Affairs Reported by Felon, Hemlock, February 18, 1861 The election in Washington Township is over and I have the gratification of informing you that the country is safe.

Scott, Conrad Behe Assessor: Jacob Burgoon Assistant Assessors: George Tiley, John J. Glass School Directors: J. M’Gonigle, Andrew Eger Supervisors: Wm. Brown, Richard Delling Auditor: Wm. M’Closkey Twp. Clerk: John D. Moreland The election of our mutual friend, the ex-Editor to a post of responsibility and trust is a just tribute to a worthy and respected citizen. Higher honors await him. Our Johnstown Letter Reported by Yoder, Johnstown, Feb. 19, 1861 Our Borough Election passed off very quietly though it was attended with more animation than I expected. The race for Burgess was warmly contested by Col. T. L. Heyer and Wm. M’Kee. The Colonel made a gallant fight but had to succumb to his more fortunate competitor. M’Kee’s majority was about forty votes. In the First Ward, Irvin Rutledge was elected Justice of the Peace by a majority of six votes over Col. E. Shaffer. I cannot help saying here that the defeat of Cols. Heyer and Shaffer is another illustration of that trite but none the less truthful saying that, “Republics are ungrateful.” Both these gentlemen should have been elected. This being the first election under our new charter, the Council elected is composed of our very best citizens. The list is as follows: First Ward: Cyrus L. Pershing, D. J. Morrell, J. M. Campbell Second Ward: H. A. Boggs, R. Jelly, Jas. M’Millen Third Ward: John P. Linton, Wm. Flattery, John M. King Fourth Ward: Jos. G. Holmes, Jacob Horner, W. Masterton Fifth Ward: Joseph Layton, Jos. Kuntz, Alex. Kennedy.

Agnes was second cousin twice removed to E.C. Parrish. Thanks on the insight of the "fibbers"...grin. Beth -------Original Message------- From: Trippsibs5 Date: 9/13/2008 10:25:09 AM To: PACAMBRI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] Odds N Ends Cam Freeman Oct 23 1903 Miss Ella Warnick in the personal below is the daughter of William Warnock and Agnes Platt, Agnes the daughter of John Plat & Sarah Byrne. This is the same Warnock family where all females lied about ages all through the census records. By the 1900 census (Avonmore, Bell Twp., but Westmoreland county, not Indiana county) each of the 3 single daughters of William & Agnes had shaved about 11 years off their ages. They learned this trick from their mother Agnes Platt Warnock & Aunt Elizabeth Platt who did the same in the 1870 census. I estimated Sarah Ella's birth as cir 1849, as she is listed in the 1850 census with an age that looks like '&', and in the 1860 census with an age of 11. By 1903, both parents had died (Agnes in 1900 & William 'several years ' previous). Although I did not find them in any Ebensburg census records, the obit of Agnes Platt Warnock states they lived in Ebensburg in the 1870's, when husband William Warnock was an engineer for the Ebensburg branch. I was wondering if I suspect correctly that Sarah Ella Warnock was friends of this E C Parrish family (from when they lived in Ebensburg perhaps) or if she was related. Looks like E C Parrish is the son of Joshua Parrish & Mary A. My Platt information of the 1900's is sketchy. Does anyone have the Platt family intermarried with the Parrish family or a Johnson family? about this time? Or at any time for that matter. Mandy Haid has the wife of this E C Parrish as Rose Johnson, b cir 1855. I could be way off, but I assume E C Parrish is this fella in the Ebensburg 1900 and 1860 census below.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, December 11, 1903 NEWS All Around the County Mrs. Alexander Cover of South Fork was visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Peters of Johnstown this week.

His physician it is understood states that he will not be in condition to undertake to attend to his business affairs for some time. Unless there is some improvement in his condition, Mr. Farabaugh will probably resign as county auditor as his position will be necessary at the county seat after the first of the year. Mr. Farabaugh has been a most efficient officer, being instrumental, it will be remembered, in making a correction to the accounts of the county treasurer that saved the taxpayers of the county something like $7,000. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/

Owing to his age, about sixty years, his recovery is doubtful. In addition to the many other improvements to be made to Maple Park Springs Hotel, in this place, D. E. Park, the new owner has decided to have a steam heating system installed throughout the hotel. The contract for the work has been let to the Darragh-Andrews Company of Pittsburg which has a force of men at work already. Another novel feature of the remodeled hotel will be a large swimming pool adjoining. The plans for the pool include coils of pipe which will be attached to the elevator boiler and used to heat the water in the pool when it is too chilly. All Around the County There are several cases of diphtheria in Frugality. A night school has been opened in Portage by H. E. Nycom. The term will continue twelve weeks, three nights a week. Supt. Claghorn, who has charge of the operations of the Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company at Wehrum and Vintondale, is employing men for those operations to take the place of miners discharged a month ago. He is trying to get a different class of men among foreigners, preferring Slavs and Lithuanians to Italians. It is expected all the mines will be running full time by February 1st. Jos. H. Hubbard has the contract for the erection of a band hall for the Patton Silver Cornet Band, says the Patton COURIER.

Attorney Ruel Somerville represents Hanlan Brothers. George Ehrenfeld, supervisor of the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania railroad with headquarters at Gallitzin, has devised a signal light for sand pipes. The pipes are equipped with an automatic locking arrangement which holds the moveable arm parallel with the tracks when not in use and which, when released, allows the arm to swing across the tracks over the engine tender. It often happens that the device fails to lock and the wind blows the arm across the track. As this arm will not allow a train to clear, serious accidents sometimes occur. To warn the engineers Ehrenfeld proposed placing white and red signal lights on the pipe. Rembrandt Peale of Clearfield, one of the biggest soft coal operators in central Pennsylvania, has purchased from D. E. Notley of Hastings, twelve tracts containing over 1,000 acres of coal land, lying in Susquehanna township. In some cases the transaction is for the mineral rights, while in others it calls for the coal rights only. By the deal Mr. Peale becomes the owner of the largest tract of coal land owned by one man in the north of Cambria county. According to reports the new owner of the property will in the spring commence several new openings. Mr. Peale already operates several coal mines in the vicinity of Carrolltown. News Notes of Interest to Miners Patrick McCarthy of Barnesboro, secretary of sub-division No. 1 of the Miners’ union at Norfolk, Indiana county, on Thursday night and then on Monday night, organized a branch of the same union in Mahaffey. Joseph Ginter of Spangler, an organizer of the local Miners’ union, fell through a boardwalk in that town one day last week and his right leg was so badly injured that an operation was necessary. Dr. Helfrich amputated the injured limb below the knee. President McTagarett of sub-district No. 1, of the United Mine Workers has a force of men taking care of the interests of the union at Vintondale and other localities where the local organization is not strong enough to take care of itself. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/
