No. Allegheny Twp is Cambria Co is the remainder of a much larger Allegheny Twp that was in Huntingdon Co, before Cambria Co was created in 1804. The Allegheny Twp in Somerset Co is in the southern part of the county, near the turnpike. Conemaugh Twp in Cambria Co was once part of the township of the same name in Somerset Co, before Cambria was formed in 1804. Brian

Licenses were granted at Cumberland, Md., recently to Charles William Bowers of Turtle Creek, and Helen Ella Wilson, Blairsville and Charles Henry Wynekoop and Catherine Brede of Altoona. Judge Francis J. O’Connor on Monday transferred the liquor license of the commercial Hotel at Conemaugh from Charles McGough to Joseph D. McGuire. The new proprietor took charge at once. Attorney H. W. Storey of Johnstown presented a bill on Friday last before Judge O’Connor sitting in chambers at Johnstown, asking for an injunction to restraining the officials of the borough of Lilly from interfering with the erection of telegraph poles along the right-of- way of the Pennsylvania railroad company.

The Brady property consists of a storeroom 100 feet long with a big wareroom in the rear and seven living rooms on the second floor. [Johnstown Tribune] H. D. Chestnutwood, says the Johnstown “Tribune” was arrested at Bakerton Saturday by Constable Ripple on a warrant issued by Alderman Lamberd charging false pretense, the prosecutor being James J. Dawson of the Ryan-Correll Company. The allegation is that the defendant secured goods to the amount of about $150 from the firm framed on the representation that he owned the property in which he conducted a store at Bakerton, whereas the prosecutor claims Chestnutwood merely rents. The hearing took place Monday afternoon, the defendant being held for court. Before Judge Francis J. O’Connor, sitting in chambers at Johnstown last Friday afternoon, testimony was taken in the application of John Ryan for a transfer to him of the retail liquor license granted to C. A. Cypher in Hastings. It had been charged that Cypher intended taking the $2,775 which Ryan was to pay for the hotel and furnishings and getting out without paying his creditors, but the evidence adduced showed that Cypher had arranged to pay out the money to those he owed, the amount liquidating nearly all the claims against him. There appeared to be no reason to suppose he was going to cheat. Judge O’Connor held the matter over, but will render a decision in a few days. PATTON ITEMS Mr. Samuel Stair, who has been confined to his room for about three weeks, is improving. Things have been lively for the last week and extra police had to be put on to keep order.

Lingenfelter of Klahn (sic), Blair county, purchasing agent for the Williamsburg paper company is in this vicinity at present buying paper wood and timber for use in the new mill in which Charles M. Schwab is interested. The price offered for hard and soft ample, white birch, beech and elm is $5.25 per cord on board P. R. R. cars at Wilmore. Jack-pine, lind, cucumber, popular and quaking ash are considerably higher in price. A Mr. Thompkins of Burnside, Clearfield county, has purchased from Robert Smith of Lilly the timber on a tract of land belonging to James Itel in the southwestern end of Portage township and a man named Butler of Summerhill is now putting up a steam saw mill on land of Hugh and William Jones, adjoining in Summerhill township, to saw this timber which in all is said to amount to 900,000 feet. The many friends of T. L. Parrish of Loretto who has been for several months a sufferer from heart disease will be pleased to learn that accompanied by his wife and his son—Raymond—he went to Pittsburg last week to take treatment from a specialist in this disease and received much encouragement and is considerably improved in health. Mrs.----Ruth and her sister, Miss Barbara Klinger of Johnstown accompanied by Miss May McCormick came up from Johnstown on Saturday evening last to visit with the family of Mr. and Mrs. John McCormick and on Sunday accompanied by Mrs. McCormick and her daughters, the Misses Othelia, Jennie and Stella took a drive to Loretto on Sunday to hear mass in St. Michael’s church, returning to Wilmore in the same evening and to Johnstown on Monday evening.

George Wenderoth of Chicago and Charles Wenderoth of New York are on a visit to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Wenderoth of Wilmore. While the writer was driving to Ebensburg on Monday morning along the road in the California woods he passed Mr. John L. Sechler and a friend who had taken shelter form a drenching rain under a large beech tree at the roadside. To the remark of the writer that it was a bad omen for the Republican candidate to be compelled to seek shelter so early in the campaign, the latter naively answered, “Yes.” Mrs. ---- Evans, an aged and respected lady and an aunt of Web Griffith of your town, who lives on a farm in the southern end of Cambria township, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis a few days ago.

Horan, of Johnstown is visiting his grandparents in this place. Mr. John Parrish and family of Pittsburg are spending a few days with Mr. Parrish’s parents, Squire and Mrs. J. D. Parrish of this place. H. J. Ovemberger of Patton has been selected for the upper room and Miss Katie Lantzy of Lantzy’s Mills for the lower room of the St. Boniface Schools. The story of the man who froze his feet while hunting near Johnstown is accompanied by the tale that there was frost in Clearfield township last night. The frescoers have finished their work in the Catholic Church at Lilly and made a handsome lot of it. The altars, in pure white and gold finishing, are said to be especially beautiful. On last Tuesday the county commissioners awarded to the lowest bidder, J. A.

Hogue of Cresson has been suffering from a very painful wound in the eye which was inflicted in a rather peculiar manner. She was holding her baby, which was playing with a rush, when the child gouged the rush into her eye, tearing out a small piece of the white. She was treated by an Altoona specialist. Supervisor Thad Eakins of Reade township was working on the public road with a road machine and six head of horses near the residence of William Shirley recently when an amusing incident occurred. Shirley has an apiary of some thirty or forty colonies of Italian bees. The honey makers evidently did not relish the presence of Eakin’s men. Their pickets first charged on the horses then on the men, when all had to make a hasty but inglorious retreat and that part of the road was left for a cold day. At a well-attended meeting of miners at Patton Thursday evening of last week, Secretary-Treasurer W. B. Wilson of the United Mine Workers of America succeeded in effecting a compromise settlement of the peculiar strike which had been there in progress and on Friday morning the men returned to work. Patrick Gilday, President of District No. 2, helped Mr. Wilson in his good work. The trouble at Patton was due to the attitude of the Socialist miners, who for reasons arising from their peculiar economic creed, refused to sign papers required the authorities of the company to keep as much money from each man’s pay as may be required to pay the check weighman. FALLS FROM LADDER While at work on Tuesday of this week painting the store building of Andrew Eckenrode of Carrolltown, Henry Bender, formerly of this place, was knocked from a ladder and quite seriously injured. It seems that a team tied near by broke loose and getting upon the sidewalk, overturned the ladder upon which Bender was standing. His injuries were at first deemed fatal but his recovery now seems assured _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.

AMSBURY MAN HAS VERY OLD DOCUMENT W. K. Douglass of near Amsbry was in this place on Tuesday. While conversing with several friends the fact was noted that next year Ebensburg would be a century old and Mr. Douglass remarked that if the centennial was observed he had a document in his possession that would be of unusual interest. It was the original parchment copy of one of the first deeds ever recorded in this county. The document was drawn in May 1797 and recorded August 5th, 1807. The parties in the transaction were John Douglass and Samuel Pleasants and the land “a tract commonly called the Seasons, on the Clearfield creek, formerly county of Bedford.” The consideration was 647L, 13s, 2d. Mr. Douglass says that the parchment is in a perfect state of preservation and is very proud of its possession. _________________________________________________________________ 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/

    1. [PACAMBRI] any carpatho-rusyns on the listserv?/Yacynych surname
    2. Joyce Homan
    3. Hello all, I recently have delved a little deeper into my family history, and discovered that I'm Carpatho-Rusyn (most of my family, the Jacynychs (or Yacynychs, the modern day spelling), came from a small town on the Polish-Ukraine border called Lodyna.) Just wondering if there are any other c-s folk on the board--maybe you or your family attended Christ the Savior, or your dad was part of the Ukrainian National Association, or you like to polka? :) It seems like the Cambria County area is full of folks like us who migrated from that area. If you aren't familiar with it, or have a suspicion that your origins might be, you can check out the C-S society (http://www.carpathorusynsociety.org/) I would love to hear from others whose share that ancestry. Also, if anyone can help me uncover the mystery of the Yacynych men, I would be grateful. Ellis Island lists nine Yacynychs (including my grandmother) as having come from Lodyna or that area, and moving to the Johnstown area. Other than my grandma, they are: Huat Jacynycz - May 28, 1913 Ilnat Jacynycz - July 5, 1905 Jacko Yacynycz - May 28, 1913 (think this was my grandma's brother, Yakym/Jacob) Myko Jacynycz - June 27, 1912 Onufry Jacynycz - June 6, 1913 Tetrs Jacynycz - June 13, 1906 Petar Jacenicz (variation in spelling) - March 20, 1907 Wasko Jacynycz - April 9, 1902 Other than possibly Jacko, I have no idea what happened to these men. I checked Johnstown city directories around 1914-1916, but no luck so far. I don't think they're on the census, but perhaps I missed them somehow? Any other suggestions are much appreciated! I'd love to break through the brick wall. Thanks again.

Shields of Cresson and Miss E. Cully, of Loretto, the other. The Shields-Cully wedding is set for June 29th. The latest report from Captain Thomas Davis, whose illness was mentioned in last week’s FREEMAN, is to the effect that his condition is unchanged, he having, however, rested somewhat better this morning than usual. His condition is critical but his many friends have hopes that his rugged constitution will pull him through. James Rabolt, a boy 16 years of age, whose home is at Dysart, was taken to the Altoona hospital on Sunday night overland from Ashville with his right knee crushed. He was riding some cars and at Dean station attempted to put on a brake and fell off. His right knee was caught by the wheels and crushed. An effort will be made to save the limb. George Hettle, employed at T. J. Long’s mill at Summerhill, was caught by a circular saw while at work about two o’clock on Tuesday afternoon and had his left hand so badly mangled that it had to be amputated at the Memorial hospital. Hettle is fifty years old and has a wife and family, the wife and two sons accompanying the patient to the hospital. Samuel Mauk, an old resident of Altoona was a victim of a runaway on Monday evening. He was driving home when his horse took fright and ran away. Mauk was jolted from his seat and falling into the shafts, was carried several squares and finally was thrown to the street. He was picked up unconscious. He was badly cut about the head and sustained a probable skull fracture. His condition is serious and he will likely die. William Edwards, of Glen Campbell, and John Patrick, of Pittsburg, were arrested Thursday of last week at Bakerton, Cambria county, by Railroad Officer Bratton of Altoona for breaking into a car of merchandise, with the intent to commit a felony. They were found in the car, having entered it at a station some distance away from Bakerton. The men were brought to Ebensburg, where information was made against them before Squire Waters. Riston Bennett, a colored laborer, aged about 35 years, and working at Gallitzin, was taken to the Altoona hospital on East Line east on Monday morning with a bullet in his body. Bennett and several others had gathered together on Sunday night and were drinking when a row was started. He pulled a revolver from his pocket and in doing so it was discharged. The bullet entered his right side about the eighth rib and lodged somewhere in the intestines. After reaching the hospital an effort was made to locate the ball but it could not be found. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/

[Tuesday’s Altoona Times] Stephen Kieber, a young man of eighteen years, residing in Pittsburg was injured at Portage on Tuesday and was taken to the Memorial hospital at Johnstown where his leg was amputated at the ankle. Kieber was attempting jump a freight train when he fell under it and had his right foot badly crushed. The many Cambria county friends of Squire John A. Kennedy, who some twenty years ago was treasurer of this county, will be sorry to learn that he has been ill for several weeks and is still poorly; the information coming from a letter lately received by the FREEMAN from his daughter, Miss Germaine at their home at Adrian, Minn. We trust the Squire’s old time rugged constitution will pull him through. During a thunder storm Wednesday of last week, John Mattern, whose farm adjoins Gaysport, lost seven head of cattle. The animals had taken refuge under a tree from the storm and it was struck by lightening. They were valued at $400. The Altoona grist and sawmill owned by Benjamin Coke of Altoona was burned to the ground early Sunday morning, entailing a loss of $9,000 on which there is an insurance. The mill is located outside the city and the blaze started in the stables. Two horses were burned to death in the barn. The plant was valued at $6,000 and 3,000 worth of grain was destroyed with it. H. S. Smith, who has been cashier of the First National Bank of Gallitzin since it opened, has resigned and will go to Hollidaysburg, July 1st, to take charge of a bank there. He will be succeeded at Gallitzin by W. G. Gilson, formerly connected with the Webster Coal & Coke company at Cresson. Mr. Gilson has entered the bank in order to become thoroughly acquainted with his new duties before Mr. Smith leaves. Coal shippers and operators in the Clearfield and Cambria district are much hampered by a car famine at present and the most serious in months, as a result, are falling far being in the filling orders. The miners, too are losing financially by the car shortage, there being various mines where work is temporarily suspended because the mined coal cannot be moved. All of the big operators in the districts named are affected: the Berwind-White, Webster, and Pittsburg and Rochester companies and J. C. Stineman & Sons, suffering along with smaller operators. The scarcity of cars is due to the heavy shipments in the far east and the delay of the railroads in rushing empty cars back to the mines. EBENSBURG TEACHERS The Ebensburg public school directors have elected the following corps of teachers at the salaries named for the ensuing term: Principal F. B. Ott, salary $90 per month; assistant, Miss Pearl Bash, $65; Room No. 7, Annie Jones, $50; No. 6, Agnes Myers, $45; No. 5, Mary Englehart, $45; No. 4, Mary Connell, $40; No. 3, Flo Stiles, $40; No. 2, Jennie Evans, $40; No. 1, Allie Lloyd, $45; Janitor, Wm. McKay, $320 per year. The millage was set for the coming year as follows: School: 7½ mills, building 2½ mills, being the same total taxation for school purposes as last year. _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.

Misses Gertrude and Ethel Plank, who are spending the summer in Ebensburg, left on Tuesday for a two weeks visit to friends in Pittsburg. Squire John T. Long of Summerhill was in town on Monday, having been summoned here as a juror but excused by the court on account of ill heath. Miss Nellie Lloyd of this place left on Tuesday morning for Wooster, O., to attend the commencement exercise of Wooster College, after which she will visit friends in Polo, Ill. Demetrio Jonnella, of Amsbry, while dumping coal on a tipple at that place Saturday was caught between two mine cars and his left leg was fractured. He was taken to Altoona and admitted to the hospital. Andrew Oschak was taken to the Memorial hospital at Johnstown on Saturday morning from Garman’s Mills, suffering from a broken back, the injury having been sustained in the Greenwich Mines there. He is thirty-six years old, married and is in a serious condition. A letter received by Mr. Ambrose Schettig of this place from his brother, Anselm, who at present is in the northern part of California states that the latter is seriously ill with consumption, with very little hope for his recovery. Anselm Schettig is well known in Ebensburg where he formerly worked at the blacksmith trade for E. J. Luther. J. S. Eeisenring, Esq., a well-known Republican lawyer of Altoona has announced himself as an independent candidate for president judge of that county. Judge Bell, the present judge, is the regular Republican nominee for re-election and A. V. Dively is the Democratic nominee. If the three corner fight continues the chances will be in favor of Mr. Dively. Wesley Horner, of Jenners, Somerset county, is a sufferer from a peculiar accident the other of the other day, as a result of which he will lose the sight of his right eye. He was hammering a nail into a piece of hard wood in a buggy when the nail rebounded from the wood and flew back into his eye, where it punctured the ball. It is thought it will not be necessary to remove the eye, but the sight is gone. Friday last the surviving members of the Fifty-third Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers and their friends and relatives held a reunion at Lakemont. The regiment was made up of men from the counties of Cambria, Clearfield, Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin and Blair. Among the principal speakers of the day were Major General John R. Brooke, formerly colonel of the regiment and ex-Governor James A. Beaver. John Flitz was a stationary engineer at the Allport mines, living at Barnesboro. Tuesday evening, June 2, after he had finished his day’s work, he disappeared and his whereabouts was unknown until Mrs. Flitz received a letter from him Saturday. In the letter he told his wife to sell the household goods and shift for herself as he was joining the United States navy. Mrs. Flitz says that her husband took with him $400 which he had in the Barnesboro National bank. The card of Mr. Samuel Lenhart, a well-known Democratic citizen of the 3rd ward, Johnstown, appears among the political announcements this week as a candidate for sheriff. Mr. Lenhart is known to the Democracy of Cambria county as one of the working Democrats of the Flood City, who at all times has been in the front in advancing the cause of Democracy. Should he receive the nomination the Democracy of Cambria county will have a standard bearer worthy of the united efforts of the party. Mayor Pendry, of Johnstown, on Monday entered suit on behalf of the city against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company for $50,000 for encroachment on the Stony Creek river. The mayor’s affidavit was filed with the prothonotary and sets forth the damage done the city in the matter of filling up the river and rendering it narrower than it should be. The action was rendered necessary by the refusal of the attorney general of the state to permit the suit to be brought in the name of the commonwealth. _________________________________________________________________ Want to do more with Windows Live?

His home has been quarantined and other measures taken to prevent a spread of the disease. It is not known where Mr. Young, who has been sick about ten days, contracted the dread malady. A Hollidaysburg dispatch states that George Pearce & Co., coal shippers of Puritan, this county, have entered suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad company to recover $150,000 damages. The plaintiffs allege that they have been injured in their business to this extent by reason of illegal freight rebates having been granted by the company to their business competitors.

Mr. Peach is well known through the county as an active Democrat and energetic party worker and if nominated and elected has the ability to perform the duties of the office in a manner that will be a credit to the Democracy. The residence of Mr. Frank at Utahville was struck by lightning on Wednesday of last week, and although the family all escaped injury, it is almost a miracle that two of the children were not killed.
