Is anyone able to look up any of these three obits that I believe appeared in the Clearlfield Progress newspaper? Emma (Snyder) Whyte died 12 Aug 1992 Eva (Snyder) Mullen died Mar 1983 Dorothy (Snyder) Carfly died Apr 1982 I am hoping to zero in on the death dates of two suspected brothers; John Snyder born 1891, died before 1941, and Charles Snyder born 1897, died between 1941 and 1969. Both were WW I veterans from Clearfield Co. Thanks for any help!! Maryann --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo! Mail Beta.

I could not find Michael on the ancestry 1930 census at least not the age he would have needed to be. It would help to know the name of his Aunt and where she lived when she died. Clearfield County is on the outer limits edge of the Erie Catholic Diocese. Sort of the forgotten part of the world as far as the Bishop is concerned. However, Erie should have records of him if he served there. Is there any chance that his name could be Mallon instead of Mallory? Most Catholics in Clearfield were either Irish who arrived early and a lot of them are in Grampian at St. Bonaventure to this day. Curwensville had some Irish and Germans up to 1900. Then Central Europeans came to work the mines and Italians came to work the stone quarries. When I was raised in St. Timothy's in Curwensville in the 1950s and 1960s, Italians were over half of the parish, then Central Europeans and then other ethnic groups. Over Houtzdale way the Catholics had two churches and St. Barbara's went to the mass in Polish after Latin was done away with. Later the churches were merged and English was made the language. St. Frances in Clearfield has had the Catholic school for a lot of years and so has DuBois which I believe is St. Catharine's. There may be other Catholic Churches in Clearfield County, but I have written what I know. Normally Catholics have the parish priest do the needed spiritual work in his parish. Having someone else come in even if a relative could be done, but permission would have to be given by the local priest who would almost certainly be on hand for what ever was done. In 1948 the parish priest would have been the law in his own parish. Switching parishes out of the geographic boundaries would have been nearly forbidden then and is not encouraged today. Jean

Looking for Michael Malloy, who would be 8 in the 1920 Census. In 1930 he is in a seminary in Montgomery County, PA. He was born in PA, trying to find out who his parents are. Have been unsucessful finding him on Heritage Quest. If someone who has ancestry.com census could try their luck, I'd ge very grateful. He was the priest in 1948 who officiated at my grandmother's funeral per her obit; and listed as her nephew.
