Hello all, I have been to Morrisdale. It is in Morris Township I believe. My great-grandmother, Ruth Hewitt grew up there. It is a nice, quaint small Pennsylvania town. I have posted a partial tombstone photo project of the local cemetery for Morrisdale at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/clearfield/tsimages/grandview-morrisdale.htm Ellis Michaels File Manager Clearfield County Pennsylvania GenWeb Archives Project ellisrn@earthlink.net "If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing" (Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac) > [Original Message] > From: Michi <cunhel@comcast.net> > To: <pacentre@rootsweb.com>; <paclearf@rootsweb.com> > Date: 7/15/2007 12:45:22 PM > Subject: [PACLEARF] Morrisdale, PA > > Hello, Group: > > > > I was at the post office in Billerica, MA, waiting to mail a package and the > person in front of me was sending something to Moshannon, PA and asked for a > zip code.
