Sorry to hear of your loss. What did you do to upset the Genealogy Gods??? LOL Sterling Run was in Cameron County in 1870. St. Mark's records start in 1874 and are available from the Mormon Church. Not sure what the local Church will or won't supply. Contact information in on the website under Local Resources. I found what looks like the family in Ridgeway, Elk County in 1880, although George's age does not match, but all of the siblings are there??? George WEABER Self M Male W 48 GER Works On R.R. Track GER GER Elizabeth WEABER Wife M Female W 40 PA Keeping House GER GER Joseph WEABER Son S Male W 13 PA GER PA Francis WEABER Son S Male W 9 PA GER PA George WEABER Son S Male W 7 PA GER PA Elizabeth WEABER Dau S Female W 4 PA GER PA In 1the 1870's people were moving all over....most to the West. If this is indeed the family, it looks like he changed professions. In searching our website, I see from a Guest Book post that you already had this information.
