Looking for the obituaries of LANE & CARRIE MOORE & LLOYD LOWRY & his wife (?) residents of Hillsdale, Clearfield in the 1930's/40's. Many thanks! Loretta Myrter

Patty, I am sorry but neither marriage is in the book. This does not mean that they were not married, just that this book put together by the Historical Society did not find them in the records that they recorded. I think that I did the Brown/McAtammey lookup before and could not find it. The names are alphabetical, so there is little chance of missing them. Jean

Hi Everyone. Several people have made lookup requests for this booklet. It is approx. 70 pages and there is no index plus as you can imagine this thing is 101 years old and I don't want to keep leafing through it looking for names. There are lots of photographs and drawings though and I am retyping the booklet, keeping the front page scanned as it is, plus I am scanning all the photo's. I will send it onto Justin Houser to add to the web site so everyone can have a look. I'm going to make sure that this booklet is preserved for future generations. When I am finished, I will probably donate it to Clearfield County Historical Society. I recommend that anyone with something like this put it where it will be better preserved. I gave a soldiers bible that belonged to a cousin from the Civil War to the Philipsburg HS. I found it at the family farm but being that his last name was Shaw (his Mother was a Waring) I felt that history would be better served if the Bible were preserved in an institution instead of in my closet. Easier to share it with others too. It has a very sweet letter from his commanding officer telling Aunt Martha of her sons death written on the inside page. God Bless, Renee Waring

I have a copy of this booklet, which concentrates mostly on WW2, and industries and people who were active in the community then. I have records of the Pike Twp schools for the year 1942-1943. My grandfather was on the school board and these were enrollment records that the state required at that time. I did already post one class to the list. I have Curwensville in Celebration of 200 years. This has more history than the 1948 booklet and was done in 1999. I have Clearfield Borough 1840-1990 like the Curwensville books, most of the history appears to be from Aldrich's History of Clearfield County with additions since his book was written. I also have Quarries of Curwensville, The People, The Legacy. This was by Ed Morgan who did much of the work on the Curwensville Celebration of 200 years. I also have Grampian Boro, Penn-Bloom Townships Bicentennial yearbook, July 1976. This appears to rely on Aldrich's and also Cora Walker's Reminisces. Cora taught school in the area for most of the 1900s, she was a good friend and co teacher with my great grand mother Dora (Theodora Helper) Wood. I also have Marriage Records of Clearfield County, PA. Most of these are for the mid 1800s. My sister who works for the Progress has the family copy of Aldrich's History as she uses it a lot in her work. She has another full time job in addition to being a reporter, so as we live in different states, don't ask me for local things. I do not know about other county small towns, but Grampian has Grampian Days about the third week of June. Each year they pick a theme and people bring in old family pictures and belongings related to the theme. This year they had a signature quit done as a church fund raiser in the early 1900s. I wish I had taken the time to copy the names, several on my relatives were on it. They had it covered with a plastic sheet and I knew that between being inside and the reflective plastic, my camera would not work so well on it. I have part of the Clearfield year book for 1915 which I copied from the one at the library in Clearfield. I have most of the yearbooks of the WW2 years for Curwensville. I will do lookup in what I have and have privately e-mailed some people in the past. Jean

On the first page it has: 1804 - 1904 Clearfield County's Ceentennial Celebrated at Clearfield, PA July 26, 27, 28 and 29. Population Clearfield County 1804..........685 1904..........100,000 One Hundred Years Old --------------------- Raftsman's Journal Clearfield, Pa.

I have an original history of Clearfield written in 1901. Has anyone mentioned that one? Renee Waring

Thank you Jocelynn. I have another question for the list. Is there a listing on-line for any of the war memorials in Clearfield County? In particular for volunteers in the Spanish American War.

THE PROGRESS, Clearfield, PA Saturday Evening, February 1, 1947 Pg. 1 G. B. Yeaney, Local Doctor, Dies; Age 67 Dr. Gillespie Blaine Yeaney, 67, well-known local physician, died suddenly of a heart attack at his home on South Second Street at 9 o'clock last night. Apparently in good health until the time of his death, he had left a patient in his office to answer the telephone when the attack occurred. He had played golf on Wednesday and was completing a normal day's activities at his office which was located in the same building as his home on Second Street. Born in Maysville, Pa., October 25, 1879, the son of P. M. and Nancy Cummings Yeaney, he attended Clarion Normal School before being graduated from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. Upon completing his medical course, he did post-graduate work at the Lying-In-Hospital in New York. Dr. Yeaney came to Clearfield in 1903 and had continued his medical practice here since that time. In 1904 he married Ella Olson of Corsica, Pa. In addition to his widow, he is survived by a daughter, Katherine, at home. One of the oldest members and chief of the medical staff of the Clearfield Hospital, he was also a member of the Clearfield County and State Medical Society and of the American Medical Association. An active participant in community affairs, he was a charter member and past president of the Clearfield Kiwanis Club. He was a member of the local Presbyterian Church. His Masonic affiliations included membership in the Free and Accepted Masons of Clearfield and holder of the 32nd degree in the Willamsport Consistory. Funeral services will be held from his home Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with Rev. Tolbert Hewlett, pastor of the Clearfield Presbyterian Church in charge. Interment will be in the Crown Crest Memorial Park. Friends may call at the home after 6 p. m. today and Sunday. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loretta Myrter" <lorettam@adelphia.net> To: <PACLEARF-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 4:57 PM Subject: [Clearfield] Dr. Yeaney >I am looking for the obituary and any information concerning Dr. Yeaney, a Clearfield doctor in the late 1930's. > > Thanks very much. > > Loretta Myrter >

Well, I found on 31 Dec 1947 the recap of stories for the year in The Clearfield Progress newspaper: Feb. 1, Dr. Gillespie Blaine Yeaney, 67, dies of heart attack. Unfortunately the online coverage for 1947 starts March 20, 1947. I did find a probate/estate notice than ran regularly all spring with Ella O.

Loretta, I did a quick search for Yeaney on Ancestry.com's Clearfield Progress database. No obituary. They have coverage 1931-1938. Do you have a death date? No hits came up in 1938 but it might still be there, the search engine isn't that great with these newspapers. I did find these items and several "Miss Yeaneys" were also mentioned on the society pages, and apparently they were country club champions. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/clearfield/bios/yeaney-gillespie .txt BIO: Gillepsie B.
