Paul, There was no Clearfield Progress at this time. You will have to consult the older newspapers such as the Clearfield Republican, Raftsman's Journal, Clearfield Public Spirit, etc., all of which are on file at the Clearfield County Historical Society, on microfilm. There is no index to something like the arrival of a visitor so you'd have to go issue-by-issue to see if it was reported. Morrisdale is closer to Philipsburg so perhaps the Philipsburg Journal, also on file at CCHS as well as the Philipsburg Historical Foundation and the Centre County Library in Bellefonte, might have picked it up. It does not have an index to things like you are seeking. Most newspaper indices compiled by historical organizations focus on obituaries, early marriages, and perhaps some wedding anniversaries, notable fires, etc. Justin At 05:00 AM 7/17/06, you wrote: >Would someone provide the web link to search the Archives of >the Clearfield Progress ?

Thank You, Justin. I will schedule a trip to the CCHS in the near future. Yes, I understand that indexing will not likely help me out here. Too much of a minor event. I will focus my search on the weeks following the arrival of those names on the Philadelphia passenger lists. Looks like a lot of microfilm work.
