Here is a question and I hope I spell it right I would like to know more about Lower Yoder Twp. Cambria County and Tannersville (hope that is spelled right) Where were they and what kind of places were they . Someone told me Tannersville was up in the hills Barb

Lower Yoder is a suburb of Johnstown, population a little over 3,000.? It borders the City's western neighborhoods.? (There is also an Upper Yoder Township, population a little over 5,000, that also borders the City.? These are both named for my grandmother's ancestors, the Yoder family.) There is a Tannersville up in the Poconos--I only know that because I used to work for an outlet chain and we had a store there! However, if you mean Tanneryville, that is also a suburb on Johnstown's western City limits.? Not surprisingly, it was named for the tannery that was once in operation there.? It is in fact located up in the hills?in Jackson Township, and it is where the greatest loss of life occurred during the 1977 Johnstown Flood, as it was directly in the path of the Laurel Run Dam, one of five that broke that night.? My Dishong, Rummel and Orner ancestors first settled in Tanneryville--the Dishongs being the first to arrive in about 1797. --Debra -----Original Message----- From: lllorensen@sbcglobal.net To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 8:39 pm Subject: [PD-LIFE] Lower Yoder Twp Here is a question and I hope I spell it right I would like to know more about Lower Yoder Twp.
