    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA October 25, 1913 In order to find out why his son Sylvester had left home, Obadiah HILBERT, of Alburtis, made a trip to Cumberland County, to see the young man in person. Young HILBERT disappeared after a Saturday night's debauch two months ago. Next day his rig, belonging to his employer, farmer SCHMOYER, of Spring Creek, was found in a barn yard near Mertztown, six miles away. His disappearance made a great hubbub, and there were allegations of foul play. September 3, 1943 A seven-year-old Pennsburg, R.D. boy was accidentally hurled to his death from a manure spreader on his grandfather's farm near Red Hill late Monday afternoon. The boy, Calvin C.
