Does anyone know a location for the tombstone of Russell Cunningham in the St. Bernard's Cemetery? He is not listed in the cemetery on-line. Thanks Susan
Does any one have any info about a Dymtro Litowczak being in Johnstown in the 1890s? Census or other data. He is kin to the Latosky and I think it may be another version of Litowczak. James Thomas Rosenbaum 310 Melvin Street Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA 15904-1219 814-266-6855
Morning all I probably SHOULD have done this before I absolutely didn't think of it until I began receiving inquires about it. [and for those of you who emailed me about the dates,thank you for reminding me to post this] But for all of you who are wondering about other months for 1902 which did not appear on this list here goes: The Cambria Freeman newspaper, on the microfilm reel, from which I transcribe began with Oct. 10, 1902 and ends with Dec., 1905. The months previous to Oct. 10 1902 are on another reel which I do have in my possession. As for the Alleghanian, the microfilm reel which I have begins these newspapers on February 7 1861 and ends with December 1864.

Thank you, Patty, for all your postings. I found several useful pieces of information that I wouldn't have had without your hard work. Carol Franks EMAILING FOR THE GREATER GOODJoin me
A little more info on Annie Peden. She was the dau of John Peden b. March 10, 1844 in Old Macher, Aberdeen, Scotland and Christine Crichton b. June 15, 1852 in Newburg, Scotland. They were married Dec. 1, 1871 in Powdermills, Borthwick, Scotland. Christine had been married once before to a man named Whitlaw. He died in Scotland. They had one child, Agnes, b. October 10, 1870. Christine then married John Peden and they had twelve children, all born in Scotland except for the last one which was born in Houtzdale, Clearfield County, Pa. They had settled there after coming from Scotland in 1888. They then settled in South Fork as many coal miners did at that time.
John Baptiste Theys b. September 1, 1880 married Annie Crichton Theys b. July 21, 1884 in Scotland. They were married and lived in South Fork all their lives. Bonnie
Readers should remember that when Altoona addresses are given for trainmen, a lot of times those addresses were Boarding Houses that were available for train crews on their layovers in Altoona until their next assignment on trains was due. This may mislead some readers as to why trainmen had an Altoona address. My Great Grandfather and Grandmother, Mr. and Mrs. David Kinch had a boarding house for years at 12th Street and 5th Avenue in Altoona. I think they had about 8 rooms in their home that handled these type of trainmen. My Great Grandfather David Kinch was the 2nd Mayor of Altoona in 1871 and also was a blacksmith for the PRR for a good many years. He originally came from Huntingdon Furnace down around 7-Stars where his Dad was a blacksmith. Herman R. Nagle Altoona, PA **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.

i been trying to tie the two weakland's to my database.Haven't been able to that,yet.Who is Thomas J. Weakland parents???? John Bauman Fireman Fatally Injured Altoona, Pa., Nov. 18?The homes of William Young, Casper Hemmeker, James Rockly and Louis Baker were entirely destroyed by fire caused by a lamp exploding in Young?s house. Fireman James Brown was perhaps fatally hurt by a falling ladder. Loss, $10,000. Two Killed in a Railroad Accident Two engines running on the Cambria & Clearfield Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad ran together at Bradley?s Junction in a fog at 5:30 o?clock last Saturday morning. The collision resulted in both locomotives being badly wrecked and in the deaths of Fireman A. M. Weakland of No. 1917 Eleventh avenue, Altoona, and Brakeman Bert Eberly of Cresson and injury to Engineer J. Hayes Buck of No. M., Washington avenue, Engineer V. A. Quartz of Cresson and Fireman Faber Kaylor of Cresson. The collision was an outcome of a misunderstanding of orders and would likely have been averted only for the heavy fog which hung over the tracks. Engine No. 192 which was hauling a train to Cresson, played out and Engineer Buck and Fireman Weakland were running it to the shops for repairs. Engine 1639 in charge of Engineer Quartz and Fireman Kaylor and carrying Bert Eberly, a brakeman, to fill out the train crew was sent out from Cresson to replace the No. 192. The accident was reported to Cresson and a train was dispatched to carry the dead and injured to that place. Buck was taken to the hospital at Altoona while Quartz and Kaylor went to their homes at Cresson. Anthony W. Weakland was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Weakland of near Hastings, Cambria county. He was aged twenty-three years and for a year past had resided on Eleventh avenue, Altoona. Besides his parents he is survived by his wife and one daughter, Emelda, and three brothers--Gilbert and Frank of Pittsburg and Henry of Altoona. The remains were prepared for burial by Undertaker Lynch and interment was made on Monday at Hastings. Bert Eberly was aged twenty-three years and was a native of Loretto. He was married about a month ago to a young lady of Loretto who survives him as do also his parents. The remains were buried at Loretto. This wreck has attracted a great deal of attention among railroad men as it possessed many remarkable features. Both engines were Class H engines, both were running light and about the same rate of speed. Neither engine left the track. The railroad where they struck was forced down over a foot. The pony wheels on both were ground into fragments. The two engines were stripped clean of all fixtures, and so tightly were they wedged together that it took six engines to pull them apart.
