His father died in 1904 and his mother in 1922. He was a brother of Mrs. Catherine Eichensehr, of Geistown, and Mrs. Margaret Rhodes, and Thomas and Edward Costlow, of Sidman, this county. ...The old Costlow homestead, where Mr. Costlow was born, was a farm of 366 acres and was sold when the mining development began, which gave the name and the town Dunlo to the map of Adams Township and of Cambria County." The farm was sold about 1891. Cambria Freeman, Friday, October 16, 1891 A new post office has been established at the new coal field, nine miles north of South Fork under the name Dunlo, with John B.
