Can only think of maybe BERKS County, or maybe it was to be BLANCHARD, Centre County. Try covering the certificate with yellow paper, and holding it to the light, to see the word. This idea was suggested to me awhile ago, and seems to make the words clearer.

Thank you, Dave. In the light of a new day, Berks is a possibility if I consider misspelling and horrible penmanship. I'll remember the yellow paper trick!
