Hi, I need some help. The Libby family, which has died out, came from Maine with the loggers and lumbermen who cut the timber along the Susquehanna. Most of the loggers left, but a few families stayed. The Libby family consisted of a father and two sons. I think the father and one son were named Adolph or Dolph. The other son was Dr. David Libby. The family was basically Protestant and the father is buried at the United Methodist Cemetery in Chest Springs. Chest Springs was a lumbering town and Protestant in the beginning. Some of the other family members were buried at East Ridge Cemetery in Burnside Township, Clearfield County, which is much nearer to the Libby farm. I believe the the wife of one of the Adolph's, named Eunice, became a Catholic and is buried at St. Benedict Cemetery, Carrolltown. There was a Libby School and a local road is still called Libby Road. This is in Elder Township. along Rt 36, near the Clearfield Line. North Cambria News, Thursday, February 10, 1921. Dr David Libby. Veteran of Civil War Dies. Dr. David Libby, a veteran of the Civil War, died at the Spangler Hospital at 7:15 last Thursday at age 79. He was born March 14, 1842 in Bridgeton, Maine. He was a son of Adolph and Eunice Libby. He moved in 1860 to the Libby Farm in Elder Township. In 1872 he married Elizabeth Riffle of Loretto. They had a son, William A. Libby, now living in Clarion. She died in 1890. In 1892, Dr. Libby married Sara Jane Ashcraft, who died on January 3, 1917. They had two children, a daughter, Gertrude who died in 1906 of typhoid; and Fred, married to Vitta, an living in Akron, Ohio. Dr. Libby served two enlistments in the Civil War, one as a substitute for his brother, A.D. Libby, who survives. Dr. Libby did not attend Medical School until after the war. Dr. Libby attended Medical School and established his first practice in St. Boniface. In 1892 he moved his practice to Hastings, where he served until his death. The funeral was held at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Hastings and burial was at East Ridge Cemetery. NOTE; The obit leaves out some details, especially that he divorced his first wife. Does anyone know any details about her family? I noticed postings on the Riffle family in the last month or so. Dr. Libby built the house at 1253 Spangler Street, next to the former Cunningham Garage, presently occupied by the Jack Haggerty family. Marilyn Kline Washington
