Loretta, here's a few items I found this evening for your family. Please email me directly to receive this data as an attachment if it gets too jumbled up as an email. I hope this helps. There are obvious errors in the 1900 census report that are sorted out in 1910, and later - just hang in there. Also, the Clearfield Progress gleanings are rather hit or miss, I didn't look at every article that came up in the search for VOSS, there was an "electric Voss washer" that was advertised regularly that was many of the 284 findings. Again, contact me directly if you have a specific date I should check out. There are no papers on line for 1939, so I didn't find Dora's death notices.

not sure where to post message. looking for parents of Annice Caroline Kephart married to Caldwell Nevling,

I could only find a James w. McAlarney and Anna A. Waple married June 5, 1872 in Clearfield County which I realize are not the names you were looking for. However, James may be related to you relative. Jean

Anyone researching the Kantz family around 1900? I'm interested in Phillip Kantz and his daughter Eva. Marcia Fronk

Hi-- I'm new to the list and am looking for marriage information on my g grandparents who were living in Clearfield in the 1880 census. Rachael A. Brown, dau of Wm. and Catherine Brown, married John Mctamney, McAtamney, McTamany, McTaminy, McAtamney (many spelling variations). He was the son of Hugh and the late Mary McAtameny from Ireland. John was born and raised in Washington Twp, Cambria County. Their first daughter, Mary, was born in May 1881 in Houtzdale. Any information anyone can provide or a shove in the right direction to find this info would be wonderful. Thank you.

And a wonderful genealogy department it is...........several years ago I spent an entire afternoon there and found tons of info on my family - some of it on microfilm and some in files & scrapbooks. The people were so helpful when it came time to photocopy, but I don't think they do lookups. They just point you in the right direction.

The address is 65 Front St. Clearfield, PA 16830. I don't know if they do lookups, but they do have a genealogy dept. Jean

I do not have Bernard McGovern in my records. However, my grandfather was alternately Secretary and/or Treasurer of the Pike Twp Schools for many years going through family papers I have his records for the years 1941 and 1942. These are records that school taxes per family were calculated so the teacher of the class is given, the students and the student's father or guardian was given along the general address, i.e. Curwensville RD. The entire Twp budget for the year 1942 was $10646.80 I am willing to do lookups, but be patient. I work full time at a day job. Jean

I go this through another list and thought it might be of interest. Happy hunting.

Could anyone tell me if they know of a Lutherean Church in Houtzdale? My Swedish Great Grandparents attended one in the late 1890's up to about 1930's. Is there more than one Lutheran Church and could anyone tell me the name of the church/churches and the address? I would appreciate it! Thanks!

Someone sent me the address & the priest's name at the St. Lawrence Church in Houtzdale a few months ago, but my computer crashed & I lost the name & address. I think she said the priest was into genealogy & would respond. Does anyone know this information that they could resend to me? Thank you Susan

Okay, Peggy (and all)... here's a bit of information that I just shared with another List Member (am quoting from an email I just sent in response to some information they so generously provided) in regards of the marriage of Jane BLOOM -- dau of William (Jr) and Mary (ROLL) BLOOM: Had I read the book fully in the 1st place, I would have noticed corrections by the author on page 292... Especially the one stating, "Page 151, seven lines from bottom, Joseph HUNTER should be Joseph CALDWELL." duh Peggy, will send you an update on this particular branch a bit later in the day. So sorry for the confusion, but am glad our little mystery is solved!

Jacqueline I remember a few years back some corrections came out for the Straw book because I rem sending the person corrections to my father's record. It was that he, Robert Harris Lawhead was born Sept 7, 1901 and his brother Thomas Fleming Lawhead was born Feb 1, 1900 and not the way it was in the book. It seems the man who was doing the corrections to the book lived out west, like Arizona maybe. I made the corrections to the book and crossed out Hunter and wrote Caldwell but did not record mans name who was making corrections. Direct ancestors of mine are Alexander Caldwell and Margaret Hartshorn. Do you have & how accurate do you put in what the Clearfield Historical Society has which quotes "THE CALDWELLS (Copied from a history of Clearfield County, published in the Public Spirit, Friday, May 14, 1897)? The whole tree of Caldwell & extended families I copied from CCHS is about 88 pages long. The newspaper article says - 'Joseph Caldwell married Jane Bloom. His son, P.A. lives in the West, and his daughter, Martha J., is married to James R. Norris. (I later found out the P.A. was Peter Alexander Caldwell who died in Nebraska) The Straw book was copywrite 1931, so the newspaper article would have been sooner. I have an Albert Y Straw and wife Margaret buried in the Centre Methodist Cemetery just south of Hyde, PA in Clearfield County. There is no marker but they are on the map which the trustees keep.

Hi, I literally started this email last night. Each time I thought about sending it I questioned my premise and started digging again. A paragraph and table at the bottom may have been in the middle and vice versa. The epiphany two paragraphs down may have been an hour ago. Please bear with me. I usually don't share my craziness, but since I went outside the parameters of my family I thought I'd let anyone who wanted it have to results of my research, for what it's worth. Oh, please, please correct any missteps I may have taken in my assumptions as it relates to the Blooms. I want this family set up right and with documentation. Unfortunately, I didn't have the docs when I started so now I'm trying to catch up. ============================================================================ ==================== I'm a Bloom descendent who has gotten carried away. I'm trying to identify every one of them- call me crazy since there are literally thousands. Anyway, I was questioning the marriage(s) of Jane Bloom daughter of William Bloom Jr. son of William Bloom Sr. son of John Peter Blum and Eve Ann Wagner based on some confusion with a couple of entries by Albert Y. Straw in his book "Some Genealogies and Family Records". I only have copies of the Bloom section and wasn't aware of the confusion until I was enlightened last night by Jacquelyn Bean. Mr. Straw has references to Jane marrying both Joseph Hunter (pg 151) and Joseph Caldwell (pg 269). I just had an epiphany!!! I don't know how much you all know about Ancestry.com and it's various databases, but one of its features is the family tree pages. Someone has entered Peter Caldwell into this area with Joseph Caldwell and Mary Jane Bloom as his parent. Regardless of whether Mary Jane was a Bloom, Joseph's great-grandparent's were Thomas Price and Anne Bloom. Anne was Jane Bloom's aunt or in other words, Jane's father's sister. It is highly unlikely that Jane would have married her first cousin! Thank you Jacquelyn for helping me correct my info on Jane, although there is still a bit of a mystery since I can't seem to find any of them after 1850, and now I find that I have the wrong info on Leah Bloom. Are there any descendents out there of the George Apgar Bloom family who can clear this up for me? Also, the William Bloom Jr. family? I'd appreciate all the help I can get. In the meantime, I don't want to waste the research so I am sharing what I've found in the hopes that it will help some of you who may be researching these families. I think I'm also being redundant. 1850 Census, Pike Twp, Clearfield, PA, Family #155, Image 22 (Ancestry.com) 7/29/1850 - Joseph Caldwell is just below his parents and his wife is Mary J.

They are only separated by the families of Tuttle and Robt Ross. 1879 1847 Joseph Caldwell 35 M Farmer 4000 891 Mary 35 F Martha 12 F Peter 10 M Nancy 8 F After the 1860 census I have lost Joseph, Mary and Nancy Caldwell. It's a very good possibility that Nancy married as she would have been 18 by the 1870 census. The part of the family I found stuck around Pike Twp (Peter and Martha) so I would have expected Joseph and Mary J. to also have been in the neighborhood since they were only around 45. I checked a few different sites to see what epidemics were hanging around between 1860-1870. 1860-61 saw influenza in Pennsylvania. 1865 -1873 there was typhoid, smallpox, cholera, scarlet and yellow fever. So, it's possible they were deceased by the 1870 census. It may remain a mystery unless someone else knows what's happened to them. The site I found on Ancestry.com confirms that Joseph Caldwell died in 1866 but there's no date for Mary J. I use the word confirms lightly because as we all know, we need at least 3 confirmations to be able to state a fact as true. 1870 Census, Pike Twp, Clearfield, PA Lines 8-10, Pg 2, Image 2 (Ancestry.com) June 4, 1870.

[NOTE: This should have gone to the list as well as to Peggy. ~~ J.E. Bean] Peggy: You pose an interesting question and one I hadn't thought of before. If you look on page 151 of STRAW's book, under William BLOOM Jr., you'll see where he states, "Jane, born November 30, 1820, married Joseph HUNTER..." Then on page 269, he states, "Joseph, son of Samuel and Martha (PRICE) CALDWELL married Jane, daughter of William BLOOM Jr, born November 30, 1820..." So the question is: Was Jane BLOOM married twice -- 1st to Joseph HUNTER and 2nd to Joseph CALDWELL? According to my calculations, she married Joseph HUNTER c 1838 (1st child born 1839). As I don't have any children listed for CALDWELL, I can't guesstimate when this marriage occurred. However, STRAW says on page 269 that the children born to Jane and Joseph CALDWELL were P.A. [a son] and Martha Jane, "who became the wife of James R. NORRIS... raised a large family, one of whom is Orla NORRIS..." With your information, Peggy, it looks like "P.A." is Peter and the marriage of Jane BLOOM and Joseph CALDWELL was probably around 1847 -- making this a possible 2nd marriage for the puzzling Jane. Anyone have any ideas about the marriage(s) of Jane BLOOM? Best regards, Jacquelyn
