I cannot answer her question, and hope that someone on this list can. Also, please respond to Betty at the above address in thesubject. Thank you Alison Franks Archivist, Rawson Family Association afranks1@juno.com Dear Alison, I'm sure you're wondering how I got your E-mail address. A friend of mine subscribes to a list you are on and suggested I contact you. I hope you don't mind me picking your brain. A family I am researching, HOLLOWAY, lived in Corry Pa for a short time. They are buried in Pine Grove Cemetery. He, George Leworthy Holloway, worked for the Railroad as a blacksmith as I'm sure many did in the 1800's. What I would like to know is; It was suggested that many people from Corry would travel to Warren to go to church. Is this true? I found the family ( minus the mother) in the 1880 census living in Corry on Euclid, later in a city directory ( 1884/5) I find them on Main Street. Would they really have traveled the distance to go to Sunday services? Wasn't there adequite churches in Corry? I'm not absolute on the religious denomination as I have found these people marrying in Lutheran churches and Catholic Churches. I have traced the family back to England and have begun the search there. But I'm still curious about Corry. Do you know when it became a town? The Holloway's didn't come to the US until about 1865- 1870. Has anything I've asked make sense to you or am I just babbling?
