Some time since it was announced that a large fortune had been left the Palmers in this county by a brother who had died in the west. The matter has been investigated, but the fortune did not show up. The brother was traced to a point in one of the Pacific States, where he was engaged in the liquor business, but he left there 16 years ago and has not been heard of since. Daniel Palmer, of Indiana, is a brother of the missing Man. 1870 Census - South Salem Pct., Marion Co., OR #714, 654 P. D.

A dispatch announced the death, at Salem, Oregon, about two weeks ago, of Peter Palmer, a bachelor, leaving a fortune estimated at $3,000,000. There are numerous heirs in this county and in Western states. Peter left West Wheatfield, this county, about 50 years ago, and was next heard of in Claifornia during the early gold excitement in that famed Eldorado. He engaged in the general hunt for the precious metal, and was one out of the comparatively few engaged in that pursuit who was markedly successful. He remained in California several years, finally removing to Oregon where he invested his earnings in various enterprises, all of which appear to have prospered, and added to his already accumulated wealth. Among his other ventures which have turned out to be highly profitable was the purchase and development of certain mining properties in Alaska. About 25 years ago Peter paid a visit to his old home in West Wheatfield and visited his many relatives in that vicinity and in o! ther parts of the country. He gave his friends then some little account of the prosperity that had attended him in his western home, although he did not, so far as we can learn, any tangible evidences of the fortune he claimed to possess. Upon his return west after this last visit, he corresponded occasionaly with various members of his family, who were thus able to keep trace of his movements, and who were promptly informed of his death. Last week, in company with a lawyer, Samuel, a brother of Peter, who resides in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, left for Oregon to investigate the estate. It is stated that Peter, who was about 84 years old at the time of his death, was unmarried, and that his entire fortune will go to his brothers and sisters, or to their surviving heirs. Peter was the name of the father of this sketch, and resided in Germany, West Wheatfield, and who died a number of years ago, and who was one of the best known and highly respected citizens of that section of the county. The elder Peter was twice married, the maiden name of his first wife being Kunkle, and who bore him ten children. The younger Peter was the last survivor of these ten children. The second wife's maiden name was Gaffaney, and she bore her husband eight children, all of whom are living save one, and whose names and residences we append; Cynthia, married to James Wakefield, Esq., of West Wheatfield tp.; William, living in Colony county Kansas; Lucinda (who is deceased and who was the wife of the ex-county commissioner Jere Wakefield), of West Wheatfield; Catherine, wife of the Rev. Joseph Campbell, formerly of Marion Center, but now a resident of Kansas City, Mo.; Daniel, residing here in Indiana; Samuel, of Greensburg, Westmoreland county; Martha M., the wife ! of John Baker, who formerly resided in East Mahoning, this county, later removing to Tennessee, and who now resides in Kansas City; and Edward Porter, who lives in Wisconsin. Nearly all those interested in the estate have learned of the good fortune awaiting them, but none have yet received official notice in regard to the matter, yet all profess great confidence in ultimately coming in for a fair competence.

I do find that name spelling to vary quite a bit. I did find it odd that Annie Moorhead (Morehead) found it necessary to will her belonging to her children upon her death, while her husband was still alive. This is rather unusual. The following death notice may provide additioal info. 8 Feb 1917 - Indiana Weekly Messenger - Died - On the 27th., Mrs. Ann Moorhead, consort of Samuel Moorhead, Sr., aged 78 years. This indicates that she may not have been married to Samuel and may not be the mother of all the children. Finding the census records and obit for these children may help sort it all out.

In the 1930 Census, there is a nephew, William Howser (Hauser), age 22, listed as living with Jerry and Anna in Nebraska. William was born in Pennsylvania. Would this fit with your family? Thank you.

Dear Friend who has an Indiana County PA History book: I am trying to obtain more information about two brothers who were placed in Indiana County about 1878 from the Allegheny County Poor House. They were: o Charles Mahlon Guerin (or spelled as Geurin) who was placed with the Brian McGara family in Rayne Township of Indiana County PA o Edward Alexander Guerin (or spelled as Geurin) who was placed with the Foster Lightcap family, also in Rayne Township of Indiana County PA I have later information on these two, but there is a void of 10 years in the 1880s for Charles and about 30 years in the 1880-1920 time period for Edward Any information your book may have would be greatly appreciated. George Hoyt in CA

I have a book titled "rossiter, Pennsylvania, Her people past and Present" author Frank J. Basile, published in 1978. would be happy to look up info for others. Dorothy Sloane
