Hi: My great grandfather, Patrick McCartney, owned the McCartney House; after his death in 1903, his wife Mary applied for the license, then his son, Patrick did. It is my understanding sometime they sold the McCartney house to a Rusnak. Son, Patrick, applied for Wholesale Liquor License, then went to coal miner and finally worked on the railroad in Altoona and Pittsburgh. I'm just curious as to when Patrick, Sr. as a coal miner in the 1880's in Morris Twp; decided to use the house as a boarding home/rooming house with liquor. Through my many hours of looking through microfilm's of the Clearfield Republican I never saw an advertisement of the McCartney House. The Clearfield Republican did publish the applicants and then those that were granted or refused every year. The first I found was in 1891 for Patrick, Sr. I have sporadic years of the McCartney's applications listed in the Clearfield Republican. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
