Good evening, list, Noted genealogical speaker Elissa Powell has sent these on to me, and I will pass them onto the list FYI, concerning upcoming genealogical conferences: Below are nine meeting opportunities that provide genealogical information, and for the most part, are free... one could be in your area, or worth driving to! On Tuesday, August 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the Northland Public Library, 300 Cumberland Rd., McCandless Twp., Pittsburgh, PA 15237. Free and open to the public. the North Hills Genealogists (for more info: pioneerbook@juno.com) will feature "THE ETHNIC EXPERIENCE IN LAWRENCEVILLE", by James Wudarczyk, noted local historian and author. Mr. Wudarczyk will illustrate how the various ethnic groups were instrumental in shaping the Lawrenceville community. Injecting amusing stories, he will show how one Pittsburgh neighborhood reflected national trends. Because many families in the Greater Pittsburgh Metropolitan area can trace their roots to the historic community of Lawrenceville, the lecture will also focus on available resources for genealogical research and address what the historic communities must do to preserve the records of the past. The presentation will trace the area’s status from that of a struggling rural village of 200 people in 1826 to a metropolitan community of over 30,000 residents in 1900. While historical events will be mixed into the lecture, most of the talk will focus on how the English, Irish, Swedes, Germans, Polish, Solvenians and other ethnic groups built churches and fraternal organizations, and founded newspapers. Both the heyday of ethnicity prior to WW II and the subsequent decline of ethnic identification in more recent times will be discussed. Exhibits will supplement the presentation. Mr. Wudarczyk is author of the book PITTSBURGH'S FORGOTTEN ALLEGHENY ARSENAL, co-author of the book MONSTER ON THE ALLEGHENY AND OTHER LAWRENCEVILLE STORIES and author of the booklet HISTORICAL SITES AND LOST LANDMARKS OF LAWRENCEVILLE'S SIXTH WARD.

She was a d/o Solomon and Mary (FRANK) CONFER. Israel and Lucetta had no children of their own. I have tracked them through the census as follows: 1860 Census, Haines Twp., Centre Co., PA: Israel Weaver, age 28, farmer, $2200, $375, Lucetta Weaver, age 32, John Minich 21, Mary Confer 22, Agnus Grillhart 9, at school.

All parties and parents born PA. Her obituary in the CENTRE DEMOCRAT of 13 Dec 1900 reads: "Aaronsburg. - On last Thursday night at about 12 o'clock the spirit of Mrs. Israel Weaver took its flight to another world, after suffering excruciating pain for several months with cancer of the stomach. Although looked for, her death came very unexpectedly and proved quite a shock to her family and many friends. Mrs. Weaver was a woman much loved and respected in this community and was, we dare say, a true type of Christian perfection. She bore her sufferings with resignation to the will of the Almighty, and when the end came she could truly say with the Apostle Paul, 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished the faith, and hencefore there are laid up for me treasures in Heaven.' Mrs. Weaver was confirmed by Rev. Fisher, of the Reformed church, but after her marriage with Mr. Weaver, she joined the Lutheran church, of which she has been a consistent member ever since. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver were never blessed with children, but a remarkable fact is that they raised three generations, namely: Mrs. George Burd, Mrs. B. F. Edmunds, daughter of Mrs. Burd, and Weaver and Annie Edmunds, son and daughter of Mrs. B. F. Edmunds, all of which, we understand, are living. The funeral services were held in the Lutheran church on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and were attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. The service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Gearhart, assisted by Rev. Brown, of the Reformed church. Rev. Gearhart preached a very impressive and appropriate sermon from Isaiah 60th chap. and 25 verse, after which interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery. Mrs. Weaver age was 73 years, 3 months, and 21 days. The pall-bearers were all young men and their names are Clayton Stover, Cyrus Bright, Wilmer Stover, Geo. Fehl, Harvey Crouse, and Luther Stover." His obituary in the CENTRE DEMOCRAT of 5 Nov 1908 reads: "Israel Weaver, one of Aaronsburg's oldest and most respected citizens, died Saturday night, October 24, of pneumonia, aged 87 [sic, 77] years. The wife of the deceased died about eight years ago. Funeral services were held in the Lutheran church on Wednesday forenoon, and interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery." Here is his bio, courtesy of the CD prepared by Chuck Bush: Beers. Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Centre, Clearfield, Jefferson, and Clarion. (Chicago: Beers, 1898), p 242-243: "ISRAEL WEAVER, one of the progressive and enterprising agriculturists of Haines township, worthy representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Centre county, his grandfather, John Weaver, having located in that township at a very early day in its history, and there reared a large family. He was a weaver by trade, and also engaged in farming, owning a valuable and well-improved farm at the time of his death. Frederick Weaver, the father of our subject, was born in Haines township, in 1803, and being the youngest of seven sons, according to the old saying, "should be a doctor." Strange enough, he naturally possessed a talent for the medical profession, and from youth was called "Doctor." Although he never studied medicine, he used to bleed many people when the custom was in vogue, and manufactured and dealt in medicine, selling throughout the township. He was reared to farm labor, but when quite young learned stocking weaving at New Berlin, Penn., and later engaged in general weaving, manufacturing carpets, bed spreads, cloth. etc. In Haines township Frederick Weaver was married to Catharine Mark, who was born there in 1798, a daughter of Rudolph and Margaret (Walterbarger) Mark, in whose family were eight children-four sons and four daughters. Her father was a farmer by occupation. To Mr. and Mrs. Weaver were born the following children: William, a farmer of Gregg township, Centre county; Mary, who became the wife of Jesse Wert, and died in Aaronsburg, Centre county; Israel, the subject of this sketch; Aaron D., a resident of Aaronsburg; and Frank J. The mother of these children died in 1876. and the father afterward wedded Mrs. Elizabeth Krull (nee Lutenbach), who is still living in Haines township. Frederick Weaver and wife began housekeeping in Haines township, where he had erected a small dwelling upon a couple of acres of land, and there followed his trade of weaving until the spring of 1834. when he removed to a farm he had purchased one mile east of Aaronsburg. comprising sixty acres. This he cultivated in connection with weaving:, and added to the original tract until he had 128 acres of excellent land. Although his father’s estate was quite large, it had to be divided among so many children that each received only a small amount. According to the provisions of the will, the next to the youngest son received the farm, and was to pay each of the fourteen children $300, at intervals of two years each, beginning with the eldest, so that it was thirty years before Frederick received his $200. He therefore had to start out in life with no capital, and the success which he achieved was due to his own unaided efforts. He died upon his farm near Aaronsburg, in January, 1885, and was laid to rest in the cemetery of that place. His political support was given the Democratic party until the formation of the Republican party, when he joined its ranks. Religiously, both he and the mother of our subject were consistent members of the Lutheran Church, and they were highly respected citizens of the community. Israel Weaver was born in Haines township, March 28, 1831, and in the subscription schools acquired a limited education, his first teacher being James Polly. As soon as old enough to handle a plow he began to assist in the labors of the farm, which he continued until seventeen years of age, when he entered the shop of his cousin, John Weaver, in Haines township, and learned carpet and coverlet weaving. On attaining his majority he formed a partnership with his father in that business, which he continued until his marriage. In August, 1853, Mr. Weaver married Miss Luzetta, daughter of Solomon Confer, a farmer by occupation, and they began their domestic life in an old log house upon his present farm, a tract of sixty-five acres, for which he went in debt. Upon the place stood a sawmill which he has since conducted in connection with the labors of the farm, and has made many valuable and useful improvements upon his land, including the erection of a fine residence, which cost $3,000. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver have no children of their own, but have given homes to several, including Lucetta, now the wife of B. F. Edmunds, who was taken when a child and reared in their home, as was also her mother, Agnes, and made her home with them from three years of age. At the present time they have a boy, Weaver Edrnunds, now eleven years of age. They have not only given homes to the children, but treated them as if they were their own, providing them with excellent advantages. Kind hearted and generous almost to a fault, no couple in Haines township are held in higher regard or have more friends. They are earnest, devoted Christians, faithful members of the Lutheran Church, with which he has been officially connected for years. Like his father, Mr. Weaver was originally a Democrat. but now gives his unwavering support to the men and measures of the Republican party."

Good afternoon, listmembers, Today I had the opportunity to attend the memorial service of a gentleman descended from some of our county's pioneer families; a man who was aware of his heritage, and preserved it in story and writing. FRANK SMILEY SHARP II was born in the village of Curtin, Boggs Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, on August 30th, 1910; he departed this life the 30th of May, 2001, in Venice, Florida, of heart failure, at the age of 90 years and 9 months. The late Mr. Sharp was a son of Frank V. Sharp II and his wife, Ella Harriet (Garthoff) Sharp. His paternal grandparents were Frank S. and Mary M. (Gingher) Sharp; his maternal grandparents were James David and Frances Iola (Leathers) Aikey Garthoff. On Sunday, August 19th, 2001, the ashes of Mr. Sharp were conveyed to the United Methodist Church at Curtin, where the memorial services were held at one o'clock. Family members and friends shared in the celebration of his life and remembrance of his many stories. Letters were read that he had written to friends; his deep faith in God, and his persistent attention to holding correct doctrine, was evident with each paragraph. The Coburn Brass Band and a select choir were present to render, in musical tribute, the hymns and cornet music so dear to Mr. Sharp. Following the congregational song, "Lord of the Dance," the remains were conveyed to their final resting place in the Eagle Cemetery in Boggs Township. The ashes were interred on the family lot, near his parents. Graveside services were held; "Taps" was played, in commemoration of his military service in the Second World War. Mr. Sharp's connection to the Bald Eagle Valley was quite extensive. Among his ancestors may be named John and Susan (Garrett) Ginger; John H. and Caroline (Robenold) Garthoff; Richard and Mary (Leathers) Malone; Jacob and Mary (Shirk) Leathers; and many others. His sister, the late Mary Frances Ward, who passed away in 1989, will be remembered as the author of the three books chronicling the History of Curtin. Those books made his grandmother, "Fanny Garthoff," one of the most celebrated figures in Centre County history. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord: they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
