Colette, In the Trcziyulny Cemetery, Boggs Twp, are these stones -- Thomas H. Peese, 1858-1923. Mary C. Peese, 1855-1924. Joseph V. Pese, 1894-1962. There is no record of a Sudie among the marked graves. Apparently her stone was not cut correctly! In Meyer Cemetery are these graves: Sudie Bartley SPEECE, 1890-1951. Annie Bell BARTLEY, 1883-1971. These two are on one stone. And I have seen it, and know it does say Speece. Apparently it was mis-cut. Who buried her? The undertaker should also have a record.

Thank you, Justin, for the information on the Peese family in Trcziyulny and Meyer Cemeteries. For anyone on the list who may be interested, Annie Belle Bartley was the sister of Sudie Bartley Peese. Checking with the undertaker is an excellent suggestion - one that I'll follow. Thanks again! Colette

Hi Brisbin is in Clearfielld Co., Philipsburg Isi n Certre Co.

Can anyone tell me if Philipsburg and Brisbin are in Centre County or in Clearfield County? If so, have they always been part of that county, or was there a period that it was different? Thank you.

Looking for information on a Wells family from the Bellefonte area. Arthur Wells Thomas Wells, s. of Arthur. William Wells, s. of Thomas, b. 1811 Elizabeth Wells, dau. of Thomas, m. to ? Patterson. There was property on Front Street built by Arthur Wells around 1775. His son built a home at 108 Gilbert Alley, later named Elfretha Alley. Does anyone from Centre County recognize these addresses? Martha Elmendorf

Robin, Info I've seen indicates that Johann Herman Helman, who died 1797 in Haines Twp, Centre (then Northumberland) Co, had a son Johannes, b 8 Aug 1787 and bp 24 Apr 1789 at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Middleton, Frederick Co, MD. This is a year and 3 days off of the date you have. What I believe makes this data relative to your search is that at least two of this Johannes' siblings -- Susan (Helman) Bechdel and Maria Magdalena (Helman) Brickley -- came to the Bald Eagle Valley, just as he did. This could be a connection. I really don't know at this point, however, whether this Johannes and your John are the same person. I have some ties to the Bechdel/Schenck connection and would be interested in sharing information.
