I found a Boyd's city directory from Norristown, Montgomery Co Pa 1888-1893 Austin M Longaker 336 Jefferson Ave Pottstown PA John H Longaker 326 Jefferson Ave Pottstown PA There was no year at the end of this line. Anyone out there that has acess to the directories from Norristown or where ever this is from, I would appreciate a lookup to see if there is a year in the book. This info I have is from Ancestry.com. I need to know the year. If there are any more years with these two names, I'd appreciate that. These are hard people to find. Thank you for anything.

In the afternoon the little girl noticed the dog in the yard and she started to play with him. She had a fan in her hand and with this she patted the dog when he suddenly jumped at her and caught his teeth in her forehead, causing a number of ugly lacerations. Mr. REED was close by and saw the occurrence. He quickly chased the dog away and rescued the child. The dog was never before known to bite or attempt to bite anyone and he is considered a regular family pet. THE LARGEST OF LARGE RYE STALKS Allen F. MOLL, a farmer residing near Corning raised some very large rye this season. He has measured some of the largest stalks and found them to be seven feet and seven inches in length. He has many that reach that length. The seed was sown in October on good democratic soil. Daniel REITER, proprietor of REITER's mill, near Hoppenville, can lay claim to the championship in raising the largest rye stalks in this section. He picked one this week that measured eight feet and five inches. The stalk is on exhibition in his mill, anyone doubting the statement can see it there. T.A. PYLE, a farmer residing in Upper Hanover township, near MARKLEY's mill, raised some very tall rye. He has an acre in which about all the stalks measure from seven to seven and one-half feet. He picked several of the largest out and brought them to this office. We found them to measure eight feet and four inches. Mr. PYLE claims the good Republican soil is the cause of his tall rye.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - May 30, 1903 BIG FIRE AT TELFORD One of the most destructive fires that ever visited Telford occurred on Thursday night, when about $25,000 worth of property was consumed. The main buildings destroyed are as follows: M.S. SHELLY's feed store and hay house, North Penn depot, block of three frame houses of Geo. EGOLF, carriage and blacksmith shop of Isaac ALDERFER, hotel stables of W.H. BLANK, barber shop of Harry KELLER, saddler shop of H. KNIPE. About twenty-one buildings were consumed, almost all were built of frame. About 10.30 o'clock the alarm of fire was given and it was at once noticed that the large frame buildings of M.S. SHELLY, alongside of the railroad were in flames. As these buildings are always well filled with hay everyone knew that they were doomed. The fire rapidly spread along the other frame buildings which were close to the hay house and in less than an hour about one acre was one mass of flames. A flying ember set fire to the Telford depot which was directly opposite and it was also destroyed. A block of three dwelling houses owned by Geo. EGOLF, of Philadelphia, were next consumed as well as all the furniture and belongings of the tenants Chas. LEISTER and N. WENHOLD. One was unoccupied. The family of Mr. WENHOLD narrowly escaped with their lives, as they had already retired and they slept soundly when the people tried to awaken them. Had not some one broken in the door and entered their bedroom in order to awaken them they would have perished. The child was carried out of the house ere the father was aware of the existing fire. The barber shop of Harry KELLER and the saddlery of Mr. KNIPE which were in the SHELLY building were consumed with all the contents. The carriage and blacksmith shop of Isaac ALDERFER which was in the rear of the SHELLY Buildings were also totally consumed with contents as well as the stables on the County Line Hotel. The horses were removed as well as some wagons and minor articles. A freight car filled with baled hay and standing on the SHELLY siding was also consumed. Many of the surrounding buildings were at times ignited but by the heroic work of the Telford Fire Company assisted by the Perkasie and Sellersville Fire Companies, they were saved. The County Line and the Telford Hotels were in imminent danger. The firemen were handicapped as their apparatus did not work for some time. The origin of the fire cannot be definitely ascertained as some claim it started in the engine house of Mr. SHELLY and other think a passing freight train threw a hot coal on the roof of the hay house which came in contact with the wood work and caused it to ignite. The loss to the owners of the buildings destroyed is very great as most of them or only partially insured and some of them are not insured at all. RUNAWAY ACCIDENT NEAR SUMNEYTOWN Peter SANDERS, the scavenger, residing near Morwood, met with a runaway accident on Monday evening near WENTZEL's hotel, on the Ridge Road, while returning to his home with his team. The harness broke which caused the horses to run away. They ran into a fence which caused a sudden stop which jolted Mr. SANDERS from his seat and he was violently thrown upon the ground. He received several ugly cuts and bruises about his head and face and his leg was severely sprained. Mr. SANDERS was removed to his home by Hiram SCHWENK, who lives close to where the accident happened. FRACTURED ARM IN PECULIAR MANNER Mrs. Dr. James G. MENSCH, of Pennsburg, on Thursday fractured her right arm in a peculiar manner. She has been confined to her bed for many weeks and while she was being assisted in changing her position in bed, she leaned against the nurse, Katie. While the weight of her body was thus thrown on her arm, the large bone fractured near the shoulder blade. Dr. W.H. HUNSBERGER was summoned who reduced the fracture. HAD FINGER CUT OFF BY BROTHER Warren, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John MOYER, residing on the Pleasant View stock farm, near Kutztown, had a hatchet and was cutting sticks while his younger brother held the wood, and the former accidentally cut off the ring finger of the right hand and wounded the middle finger of the latter.

Hello List, I have a certificate of death for my relative dated Sept. 16, 1921. The place of death is listed as Mill Creek Road in Haverford, Lower Merion, Montgomery Cty., Pa. I cannot locate my 'never married James Mulligan' living in Montgomery Cty. (nor Delaware Cty.) in 1920 Census. Before that yr. I have him in 1850 thru 1910 Census living in Blair and Cambria Counties - (also where he is buried). He was 72 and may have gone to live with a relative, while ill, before dying. MY QUESTION.....Does anyone know if there was a hospital or similar facility on Mill Creek Rd. in the 1920s?? Maybe his name is hidden in an Instituion's patient list. I come up empty searching for the informant listed - a Mrs. Dugan living in Ardmore. I am interested in knowing who this woman is - if I can trace her, possibly I will locate needed information or a living relative. Thank you very much for any assistance. [email protected]

Hi and welcome. Here's my question to you, are you looking for Weber, who became Weaver, or Weaver that went on to become Weber, or Weber that stayed Weber? I did the Webers/Weavers a few years ago and I tell this when it was finished my head was spinning. Now New Hanover is easy, but when it comes to Lehigh county,well that another story, your eyes will roll back into your head and your head will be spinning. But then you have Bucks County where they are indexed in church records as Weaver, (Weber) and Weber (Weaver) that's when I bought the gun.
