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

Renee, If you are already opening each page to type the book and are able to scan the photos, please scan the entire book. This is absolutely the best way to preserve it as well as make it accessible to others. Text-only pages, in particular, don't take up much space and only need to be scanned at 150 dpi. Thank you for your efforts. God bless, Rick Stuby -----Original Message----- From: Reneelwaring@aol.com [mailto:Reneelwaring@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 11:41 PM To: PACLEARF-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Clearfield County Centennial Booklet Hi Everyone.
