I am unrelated to any of these people, but was searching through old newspapers and thought someone might find this information useful. The newspaper article was printed in "The Springdale Reformer" of Springdale, WA, in the January 24, 1908 issue on page 2. The paper is on microfilm at the Washington State Library in Olympia, WA. The article states that four children were drowned while ice skating at Coral, Pennsylvania on January 20th: Sadie Kinley, 12 years old, Renie Kinley, 11 years old, Charlotte Kinley, 8 years old and Roy Stokes, 13 years old.

Does anyone know the mother's name or what the family tree of James G. Allison looks like? Was he born in Indiana County? Thanks

What a horrible thing for a mother to do to her son...but about the husband?? why did she do it??

Perhaps the mother didn't really kill her husband after all. Could she have made the death bed confession in order to clear the son's name after the fact even though he was actually guilty? Stranger things happen every day.

The hangman's noose and related story is on exhibit in the new Indiana County Historical Museum at the Historical Society. Also on exhibit is the murder weapon and story behind the last IC fellow electrocuted for a capital crime (not executed in IC but from IC.)

They were probably within a 1 mile or so of that crossing, probably on the south side of the creek, is my best guess. The article in the History of Indiana County was off on the direction from Davidsville (Trade City) that they lived. That is what through me off. Thanks though. Dick

If I am correct, that was the last hanging in the county. James G. Allison's mother admitted on her deathbed that she was actually the perpetrator of the crime. The Historical Society has the noose, murder weapon, and other related articles. -Sonya Barclay On Wed, 11 Aug 2004, Yvonne Learn wrote: > Hi List, > > A friend of our son showed him an old newspaper story about James G.

I can see now that by the way the census taker was working, he wasn't being limited to a particular P.O. area, and that becomes meaningless in trying to establish locations of individuals. I just came back from the local LDS library, and made a list of neighbors for 1850, 60, and 70, and will try to use that for a basis to pinpoint locations. The John Knauff on the map is an unrelated neighbor. Appears to have arrived in the area between 1860 and 1870, and is household #149 in what is labeled as Grant P.O. Haven't checked him out to see where he came from before then. But Hartman appears to be in that corner of the township, and his father Michael, appears to be on the South side of the Mahoning creek, in North Mahoning Township. . I am finding out the hard way that whoever wrote the article in "History of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, her People past and Present", used considerable liberty in the story of this family. They! indicated that the Knauf's lived 3 miles East of Trade City, so I have been searching in that area to no avail. I think I am on the right track now. Thanks for the help, and the direction to look in. It is greatly appreciated. Dick

Everything one needs to know of the last hanging is on the rootsweb Indiana County, website..plus other information that has been posted for years..... http://www.rootsweb.com/~paindian/ Vernon C. Cook USN(Ret) Genealogy is the game...Grandkids are more fun.

We can see that the census guy continued west on the road out of Marchand PO going from the T. Ewing house, #83 in Dist 5 to H. Dilts, family #84. North of Dilts we then come to the J, Knauf farm located on the map immediately under the "No. 5". The H. Knox that I refered to in the previous post is Henry Knox NOT to be confused with H. Knauf. After the Knauf farm the census guy went west and south along the raod to Georgeville PO, to the James Dilts farm, #91 and T. Hoover farm at #93.
