In a message dated 06/25/2002 8:59:51 AM Eastern Daylight Time, Reneelwaring > > > Hi Renee Thanks, I'm not related or researching this family - it was a reference for my Hughes family of Bellefonte (from Ireland) so I copied the pages at the Bellefonte Library. Guess what - no Hughs/Hughes listed!!. Someone was asking about the surname KELLY so I thought I'd post the info to the List Group. The info is taken from the Family Bible owned by G. E. Kelly and the front page is "The KELLY AND WOODRING Families of Worth Twp., Centre Co. Pa" by Raymond Martin BELL, Washington & Jefferson College, Wash. Pa 1944. Please ask your Mom if there are any Hughes connected with these families? If anyone wants copies of these pages, I'll be glad to mail them. Thanks! Jean Corio Tampa, Fl

Charlie, I believe they can be ordered from the Friends of the Centre County Library and Historical Museum, 203 N. Allegheny St., Bellefonte, PA 16823. I don't remember the price but think it to be something like $20.

Is this book still in print, if so where? Charlie

I am very interested in finding more information on a great grandmother, Ora Irene SWAN, b. 18 Feb 1870 in Dublin Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA. She m1 Henry S. KLING 18 Dec. 1889, Fulton Co., PA. Henry & Ora Irene's only child to live was a daughter, Mary Lillian KLING, b. 21 Sep 21, 1894. Henry & Ora Irene split company before 1896 and he remarries Alice HARDING. Have found evidence that Ora Irene is referred to as Mrs. Ora Hoover and is residing in Grazierville, Synder Twp., Blair Co., PA in 1914. Seeking more information on Ora Irene and willing to exchange information on Mary Lillian (KLING) WION & Henry S. KLING. Blair, Franklin and Huntingdon counties all fairly close to Centre Co. Hopefully some of you helpful people on Centre County List will have some knowledge of the above mentioned people. Diane in Michigan
