My ggg-grandfather lived in Huntingdon Co. during the 1800 Census. Would there be any records in the courthouse from this period to show if and where he owned land? I believe he did as he is not enumerated with his brother. Are there any records from this period for orphans court? My ggg-grandfather's sister-in-law died abt. 1801-02 and there would have been minor children. Neil

State Archivist, Ohio Historical Society. Mr. Hite will be speaking on using DNA as a genealogy tool, a relatively new concept in genealogy, and I don't believe the opportunity to hear this explained, and for FREE, has been presented locally. The BCGS will have extra seating available for this meeting, and I hope all of you that are able to attend will take advantage of this opportunity. Please pass this information along to family and friends living in Blair Co., even if they are not interested in genealogy, this will be a very interesting speaker.

The Huntingdon Normal college faculty use their influence to secure positions for worthy pupils and graduates. That is as it should be. Huntingdon ladies who are accustomed to read newspapers are always observed to possess winning ways, most amiable dispositions, invariably good wives, and always select good husbands. Mr. J. G. King has been steward at the Huntingdon Norma college for five years. He stills holds that position and no doubt will for many years to come. Mr. King is a Christian gentleman. Marklesburg has five bald-headed men, but you don't catch any of their neighbors saying that their wives are high-tempered women, or making any jokes about bald-heads generally. The bald-headed men in that town are looked up to. We are sorry to chronicle the death of Dr. M. L. Shultz's bright little boy. After several days of intense suffering he passed away Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The funeral occurred on Monday at 2 p.m. The afflicted family and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community of Marklesburg, where they reside. He died of cholera infantum. So many of our boys in this county are a burden to their parents, compelling them to support them. Do something-no matter what, boy, so that it is honest. Look around and obtain employment; then off with your coat and determine to clear your way up. The ladder of prosperity is within the reach of every one inclined to use it. Perhaps your father is rich, and therefore you think there is no need for you to work. What a senseless excuse! Your father may be rich now, but next year or next month some bad investment may absorb his riches and leave him in a condition worse than poverty-in debt. There are hundreds and thousands of probably misfortunes which may reduce his means; illness may lay him low, and his business, lacking his supervision, may go to ruin. Then you, his son, not having been taught the necessity of labor, are unskilled in the use of hands or brain, can do nothing but fret and worry. Your condition is worse than that of the most humble workman in your father's establishment, for his experiences will recommend him to another situation. Besides, poverty to you, who had never known the want of anything, becomes doubly aggravation. Brought up in luxury and idleness, plain food is nauseous to your dainty palate, and common garments seem the livery of shame. You shun a meeting with the associates of your better days, and they pass you with a chilling nod, as much as to say, "You are poor now, and of course cannot presume to reckon us among your acquaintances." Boys, strive to be independent, Learn to be useful in the world-to be able to "paddle your own canoe," as the saying is. Then, if trouble comes to your father, he will have at least one friend to assist in regaining his former prosperous condition-an affectionate, industrious, affectionate son. ----------------------------------------------------------- Birmingham Pencilings Pine Heights inn is now full to overflowing. Dr. Happer and wife of Canton, China, are guests of the Pine Heights inn. Rev. Charles E. Craven, of the Presbyterian church, is visiting at York, Pa. Mrs. George Moore, who has been visiting in Canoe Valley for some time, returned home yesterday. Mr. Charles Zeek, who had a stroke of paralysis a few days ago, is something better at this writing. Mrs. Thomas Furst and Miss Edith Mearon, of Beech Creek, are visiting Miss Annie and G. Lloyd Owens. H. C. McCamant and wife gave a dinner party on Saturday last to some of the elite of our town and neighborhood. The piece of ground immediately in the rear of the United Brethren church was sold a few days ago to Emanuel Zeek. F. D. Stonerod and family, who have been here for some time, departed for their home at Pittsburgh on Monday afternoon. Mrs. T. S. McCahan and her sister, Miss Annie Galbraith, are spending a few weeks at Bedford Springs and Manns Choice. During the absence of the regular pastor, William Alcott, local, preached for the United Brethren people on Sunday morning last. We are sorry to note that the illness of Miss Beckie Baker is of such a character as to cause great alarm to her parents and many friends in this neighborhood. Miss Alice Carpenter, of Pittsburgh and Miss Georgie and Willie Ford, of Bellwood, were the guests last week of Miss Cora and Wesley Holmes, in West Birmingham. Clara May, daughter of John and Lizzie McKinney, of Honest Town, died on Monday evening and was buried here in the Methodist cemetery yesterday. Her age was 1 year and 10 months. Margaret, little daughter of James and Catherine Stewart, died at Honest Town on Tuesday of last week, aged about 2 years. Her remains were buried here on Tuesday evening, in the Presbyterian cemetery. The pulpit here and at Warriorsmark on Sunday last was occupied by Rev. Wassan, of New York city. The reverend gentleman is spending a short time with his sister, Mrs. J. R. Lowrie, at Warriorsmark. Work on the new stone bridge, one mile east of this place, has been commenced by Drake & Strattan, of Pittsburgh. the stone bridge referred to above is to take the place of the No. 8 Iron bridge, almost opposite Alfarata mountain. The properties of Emanuel Zeek, on Market and Church street, are being painted by the Cornmesser brothers, of Bellwood. When the work is completed, they will be the brightest and most cheerful looking properties in the town. It is decided that the Pine Heights inn be a permanent thing in the future as a summer resort. We are informed that before the opening of another season that some big improvements will be made by Mr. Grier, both on the interior and exterior of the main hotel building. For some time the iron ore business from Shoenberger station has been rather quiet, on account of low prices and but few orders. the Juniata Manufacturing and Mining company, who are now operating the Shoenberger mines, are stocking upwards of one hundred tons per day at Shoenberger mines. John Cornelia on Friday last, while engaged in breaking ballast on the track here, was struck by a west bound freight train and seriously hurt. He was picked up and carried to the depot where his cuts and bruises were dressed by Dr. Thompson, of Spruce Creek, after which he was sent to his home at Beaver.
