Hello Fellow Listers: I'm trying to find a list of those killed or injured during the wreck of the P.R.R. (Pennsylvania Railroad) in Thompsontown on September 28, 1864. >From a newspaper article found in the Lewistown Gazette, it stated that there were at least 40 people who were killed or burnt to death in the fire. Does anyone have access to later issues of the Lewistown Gazette to hopefully find a listing???? THANKS in advance for any help! Donna Heller Zinn of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.

Hi again to all, Last month I posted, want information on Mary Elizabeth (Harshbarger) Varner (1878-1922) of PA. I wish thanks all that help. Now this what I now have on Mary Elizabeth (Harshbarger) Varner . She was born June 22, 1878 in Wayne Township, Mifflin County to Solomon Harshbarger (Feb. 8, 1836-May 28, 1912) and Lucinda "Lucy" (Clymens) Harshbarger (March 22, 1842-Jan. 23, 1898) and died March 8, 1922 in Newton Hamilton, Mifflin County, PA. Mary married Thomas John Varner (who best known as John Varner) on October 15, 1901. Christy Great-Granddaughter P.S.

I could be wrong, but it looks more like Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania to me. Back then, we had two hospitals in Meadville, Spencer Hospital and City Hospital and I'm pretty sure there is a Greenwood Cemetery in Greenwood Township, Crawford County. Lots of Williams were from Greenwood Twp. area. If this person did die at the City hospital in Meadville, you can probably get a copy of the death record from the City Building on Market St., Meadville, PA 16335 Did any of your Williams have connections to Crawford County??? I have some Williams on my father's side of the family, but they were from Vernon Twp, Crawford County and I don't think they were connected to the Greenwood Twp ones. I also have some Williams/Yothers on my mother's side of the family from Huston Twp, Centre Co., Pa. Sherry Shallenberger

Anna Verona Ramer married Charles M. Smithers, who I believe was the son of George Smithers. They were legal guardians of my grandfather, Lynne Oliver Ramer, after the death of Lynne's mother Esther Mae Ramer and grandmother Rachel Barbara Reed Ramer, wife of Joseph Ramer. Rachel and Joseph's daughters Anna Ramer Smithers and Carrie Ramer Bobb took care of my grandfather after age 9. If you look at my family tree at ancestry.com you will find photographs of 'Aunt Annie' and 'Uncle Charlie." Charlie encouraged my grandfather's education. He would reward 'Lynnie' for memorizing the state capitals, counties of Pennsylvania, and other things. He bought Gramps his first long pants. Gramps took his family to visit Aunt Annie and Uncle Charlie and also Aunt Carrie Bobb (who I met when a child). Anna was born 4/21/1872 and died on 11/8/1949. Charles was born 10/17/1873 and died 10/24/1950. Their children are also on my family tree. Best wishes, Nancy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
