Two deaths have already occurred. At present two families are afflicted and several members of both households are very ill. The disease broke out in the home of Jacob Holtz, who lives near Pensacola. A two-year-old child of that household died last week and was buried at New Germany Saturday. Michael Weinzeirl, of New Germany, is a brother-in-law of Jacob Holtz, Michael’s daughter, Miss Kate Weinzeirl, visited at the Holtz house for some time and then returned to New Germany. Diphtheria broke out at the Weinzeirl home and some persons say there is no question the disease was taken there from the Holtz place. Mrs. Mary Weinzeirl, mother of household, died Saturday morning, aged forty-five years. She first became ill of diphtheria, the trouble later developing into pneumonia. She was buried at New Germany Sunday. Mrs. Weinzeirl is survived by ten children and five of these are suffering from diphtheria, including a boy about nineteen, a girl of eighteen, another of fourteen, a boy of ten and another of six. The six-year-old is a victim of hemorrhagic or black diphtheria and his death is believed to be only a question of time. The ten-year-old’s case is also said to be grave. One or two children of the Holtz home are also said to be seriously ill of the disease. _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo!

KILLED NEAR LILLY Michael Cooney, a man some thirty-five years old was found dead a short distance east of Lilly station Sunday morning about 5 o’clock. When trackmen came upon his remains the body was still warm, indicating that death had occurred only a short time before. The left arm was ground off at the shoulder and the skull was fractured. The body was lying diagonally across No. 1 track, with the head on the inside of the outside rail and there was evidence that it had been moved several feet. It is supposed that Cooney attempted to board a moving freight and was thrown under the cars. Cooney resided with his parents in Washington township, about three miles from Lilly. He was a railroad man and had worked for about two years at that business in West Virginia, returning to Cambria county last month. It is supposed that he was on his way to Altoona when he met his death. Coroner Miller went to Lilly Sunday and investigated the case, finding the facts as stated herewith. Cooney’s father is dead but his mother and brother, John, reside on a farm, Charles, another brother, living in Washington township. Mrs. William Carney of the same locality and Mrs. Michael Morning of Altoona are sisters. Conductor James Reynolds, aged fifty years, was struck in the Conemaugh yards Monday morning about 2 o’clock by a snapper and was instantly killed. The body was at once turned over to Undertaker Henderson, prepared for burial and sent to his home in Derry on Pacific Express. The funeral took place at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon from the deceased’s home in Derry. _________________________________________________________________ Get ideas on sharing photos from people like you.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, August 21, 1903 ARRESTED ON MURDER CHARGES Three Miners Believed to Be Responsible for Death of Brewery Collector Somerset, Pa., Aug. 19--—William Novick, Frank Vasbinder and William P. Bowman are in the county jail charged with the murder of Ernest C. Reber at MacDonaldton on the night of Aug. 8. Reber, who was employed as collector by the Meyersdale brewing company was run over and mangled by a freight train on the MacDonaldton branch but as his body was cold it was thought that he had been murdered and his body placed on the track. The absence of almost $100 in money, which he had collected that day, pointed to robbery as the motive for the crime. Coroner S. J. N. Luther held an inquest last Friday and it was upon the testimony adduced thereat that the three men named were charged with the crime. The prisoners are all miners and were employed at the mines at MacDonaldton. They deny that they have any knowledge of the murder. Novick, who is a Russian, admits that Reber spent two or three hours at his house on the night of the murder. Vasbinder is Novick’s brother-in-law. Bowman is a young man, aged 22, a son of Samuel Bowman of Boynton. _________________________________________________________________ Get ideas on sharing photos from people like you.

I would like to thank Patty for all the recent information she has taken the time to give us all. While no close relatives have been mentioned, the history in these comments is really astounding. A current obituary some readers may be interested from Williamsport , PA this past week: Carl Vaughn (95) the last living child of Bessie (Peck) Vaughn, originally from Coalport, passed away after a short illness. Bessie Peck's, father was George B. Peck who was in the 202nd PA Regiment during the Civil War. George B. Peck's father, (David C. Peck), was also in the Civil War in the 171st PA Regiment from Juniata and Perry County. Herman Nagle Altoona **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

..Does anyone know where I can get obituaries out of past Progress newspapers? I can't believe that that is (for now) impossible. All of my dad's family seem to have had their obituaries in the Progress. I thought that The Centre Daily Times would have them, but not so. I called the Progress and they said they use to call the Shaw Library when someone needed an obituary. But the Shaw library's machine is broken and it is so ancient that they can't get ink or a part for it. What newspapers they do have (that they can't read) only go back to the late 70's. I think this is a shame in this day and age. Johnstown's Tribune-Democrat goes way back on micro-film. They have plenty of not so ancient machines to read them and librarians to help (the librarian at the Shaw library was great and so was the phone receptionist at the Progress Newspaper.) I think that they would have stood on their heads to help me if they could. The receptionist at the Progress said that when people come for obituaries they are just beside themselves when they find that they can't get access to the newspaper. I said count me in. All of my dad's family are in the Progress, probably since the beginning of the The Progress. I called the Altoona library and they don't have the Progress, but they do allow other film to be brought in and read. (I am not so sure if I understand that what the Shaw Library has can be read there). But the librarian said there is a hefty deposit required to do that. Altoona has their newspaper on microfilm similar to Johnstown (as I understand it over the phone). What is so profound is that no one that I know of is doing anything about saving the current Progress Newspapers. ..I don't know where to begin to put newspaper on micro-film how to keep it and most of all, where to find old newspapers, but someone needs to do something! I started yesterday by subscribing to the Progress by mail (I live at the other end of the state). I wanted to do this anyhow. I have recently seen reported deaths in the Progress (on line) that I would like to have had, but they didn't have the content on line, just the name and I was helpless, not being any where near an area that sells the Progress. ..Next I am going to ask if anyone out there has any old Progress Newspapers in their home that they can part with or knows someone or someplace that has them. Where I would go from there, I wouldn't know just now, but we need a group to work on restoring the Progress newspaper, putting it on microfilm and available to the people, ..I have called genealogy societies and historical societies in Clearfield, Blair and Cambria counties, but am starting to forget who I called. Centre County genealogy Society didn't have a phone number. Hopefully, I missed someplace that has the Progress, does anyone know? ...Well, in the meantime, if anyone has any access to obituaries from the past, I especially would like to have my grandparents as I can't remember if I ever seen their obits, but never dreamed that I wouldn't be able to get them. They are Wilson Good died June 8, 1968 and Minnie (Albert) Good,died April 1979 (thursday or Friday before Easter, I think Good Friday). ..Thanks and thanks to everyone who helped me with myquestions about old photos and baby birth /death info.
