I am trying to ID some old photo's which came from a Mell family album. They were taken in Mechanicsburg in mid to late 1860's, some could be possibly Margaret or J. L.

Page 183 & 184 has a bio on Andrew Grubb and Page 185 & 186 has a bio on Abraham Grubb. This Abraham Grubb, at the time of the book's writing (a897) was in McConnellstown, Huntingdon county. He was born May 15, 1818, in Hopewell township, a son of Samuel and Hannah (Boyer) Grubb. His brother was the previously mentioned Andrew Grubb, born in Springfield township February 16, 1822 and married June 6, 1861 at Marklesburg to Ellen, daughter of Alexander and Jane (Norris ) McCall. They had 2 children; Harry and Thomas (Thomas died March 26, 1897 and Harry, who was born March 3, 1867, married October 31, 1894, Elinor, daughter of Lukens and Clara (McCarthy) Pollock and at the time of the book's printing had just the one child, Carl Edgar Grubb who was born August 22, 1895). Their father Samuel Grubb was born in Huntingdon county in the 1790's, "his parents being among the first settlers of the county." Samuel Grubb married Hannah Boyer, who was also a native of Huntingdon county. Of their 6 children, 3 died young. The other three were Andrew, Abraham, and Sarah (Mrs. Valentine B. Gilbanch). Samuel and Hannah Grubb both died in the township in which they were born and were members of the Lutheran church. Abraham Grubb married in 1847 in Walker township, Rachel, daughter of John Given, a farmer of Walker township. She was born in Huntingdon county in 1826. Abraham and Rachel Grubb's 4 children were: James, who died at the age of ten years; Elizabeth, wife of Ross Houck of McConnellstown; Juniata; and Andrew B. The later child, Andrew B. Grubb was born in McConnellstown February 13, 1855 and was married in Walker township in May, 1877, to Samantha B. Yocum (born in Juniata township in 1853 and died January 22, 1892). Andrew B. and Sam! antha Grubb had no children. The only Hamaker bio listed is of David C. Hamaker of Lewistown, Mifflin county (page 484). He was born at Lewistown May 18, 1853, a son of Adam and Matilda (Smith) Hamaker. Adam Hamaker was born March 4, 1807, near Hummelstown, Swatara township, Dauphin county, Pa. Adam Hamaker married September 12, 1830, Matilda Smith, who was born at Lewistown, May 18, 1811. They had 7 children: James P.; William Wilson; Henry Harrison; Marion F.; Reuben Smith; Lee Emma; and David C. At the time of the book's writing in 1897, all the children were dead with the exception of son David C. Mrs. Adam Hamaker (Matilda) died January 29, 1884 and her husband Adam died November 22, 1884. Their son David C. Hamaker married September 23, 1880, Catharine, daughter of Jacob and Susan (Murray) Breneman. Their 2 children were Maud Irwin and Walter Murray. Hope this helps out Sue

Hired hands also received room and board. H.L. Coats

Growing up on a farm in the 1940s and 1950s, tenant farmers in effect rented the land they farmed and went "shares" with the owner of the land. I don't recall the percentage breakdown, but I'm sure it varied a certain amount from lease to lease. People who were hired, were called "hired hands," and they were paid probably a weekly or monthly wage for their work. I would say with confidence that the terms "tenant" and "hired hand" connoted two distinct categories.

Good Evening Fellow Listers: This just came through the PA Cambria Co. List. Thank you Marilynkwash@aol.com for submitting and posting this - it's very interesting! I hope others will enjoy it as well. Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.. **************************************************************** Some time ago I mentioned that after the Civil War, Pennsylvania founded schools for the children of Civil War Veterans. A child was considered an orphan if the father was dead, as most women had no income to support children. Unlabeled Clipping, 1995 [For the one hundredth anniversary of the Scotland School] ORPHANS OF WAR TOUCH THE GOVERNOR'S HEART One breezy November evening in 1865, two scantily clad children begged for food at the front door of the Pennsylvania governor's mansion. Gov. Andrew Gregg Curtin [of Civil War Roundtable fame] spoke with the children and discovered their father had died during a battle. They were orphans with no place to turn. [Note: Gov Curtin was a cousin of General Gregg and Lt.Co. Gregg of the 4th Pa Calvary. The family had roots in Huntington and Hollidaysburg.] Earlier that same year, the Pennsylvania Railroads donated $50,000 to the state. Curtin decided to use the money to place needy veterans' children in homes and schools. He appointed a Superintendent of Soldier's Orphans to organize this task, locating 44 homes and schools for the children by 1912. State inspectors found that many of these children were discharged at age 16 with very little work skills. They suggested that the children be transferred to a state-owned facility to learn a trade. In 1889, legislation replaced the superintendent position with a Commission of Civil War Veterans and Legislators. They decided to build a trade training school in Scotland [Pa, near McConnellsburg.] The purchased 100 acres from Colonel Alexander Stewart for $12,000. John A. Burgner and Sons of Lancaster built the administration and industrial buildings. Today, the school encompasses about 185 acres and consists of 60 buildings. Trains brought the Soldiers' Orphans School's first students on June 1, 1895. [This is the Scotland School for Veteran's Children.] In November 1900, 75 cases of scarlet fever struck the student populace and an on-campus hospital was built the following year. Fire destroyed the industrial building in February 1901. Several new buildings and students' cottages were built over the years. The library/ssciencee wing and the gymnasiums were constructed in 1972. Gov. Robert Casey revealed his 19991-1992 state budget, which included plans to phase out Scotland School over a two year period. Alumni groups, parents and veterans protested and the school was kept open. Budget cuts forced the school to eliminate first and second grades and cut some programs. As I mentioned, there is a book on this topic, which I used at the Hostine Rental Genealogy Library in Hollidaysburg, Pa. I am not sure if they are still in operation. The book contains pictures and descriptions of the schools, and lists of orphans registered over the years in each school. Both boys and girls were included. I first discovered the existence of the book from articles in the Bulletin of the Blair County Genealogy Society, so you might get the bibliographical details from them. There was a school near Huntington, and students were sent to St. Vincent Prep School at Latrobe. I am unable to remember any other schools. ==== PACAMBRI Mailing List ==== http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacambri/ To unsubscribe from the PACAMBRI-L list, send the message Unsubscribe to PACAMBRI-L-Request@Rootsweb.com.

Hello,I had requested this information last year and have since lost all my email due to computer problems. I don't think I received any replies, so I am trying again. Can anyone tell me how I could get information for a couple who were married in "Reformed Parish", Newport, Perry Co PA in 1872? Does this chuch (I assume it was a church) still exist? Can anyone provide me with a way to contact them, preferably an email address? Thank you, Elizabeth

Elizabeth, Your mention of "Reformed Parish" in this area of Pennsylvania in the 19th C. undoubtedly refers to the German Reformed Church. Passing through several mergers, this denomination has ended up within the present-day United Church Of Christ (UCC). Archives of old German Reformed churches are preserved in the Philip Schaff Library on the campus of the UCC Seminary in Lancaster PA. You can get contact information and some idea of the assistance that the archival library provides by going to the Website of the Reformed Church In America.The URL is http://www.rca.org/aboutus/archives/ . On that page you will find: "Contact RCA archivist Russell Gasero, 732-246-1779 or rgasero@rca.org ." As an example of what they hold in their archives, I found there the original old leather-bound pastoral acts book of Rev. William Boos in which he had recorded the 1783 marriage performed for my 4th great grandparents, Johannes Zulauf and Maria Margaretha Spahr. I was actually allowed to carry the book to a copy machine and make a copy of the page by myself! I was flabbergasted that they would let me do this with such an old and priceless book. This was over a dozen years ago. If they have changed to a stricter policy since then, I personally would regard it a step in the right direction! In any case, I am eternally indebted to the church archivists for preserving this information so that I could access it more than 200 years later. If you contact the RCA archivist, you might want to ask them which UCC congregation currently in the Newport area is heir to the German Reformed congregation that was there in 1872. Nelson R.

Cross posted to PAJUNIAT-L, PAPERRY-L, and SNYDER-L Surnames mentioned: SNYDER, SCHWERDTZ or SCHWERT, EWING, MILLER, ORR, WENTZEL, ALLEN, WISE, MYERS, LEWIS. I am interested in discovering anything more that I can about my g-g-grandfather, Francis Snyder (1810-1894), proprietor of the Bealetown store in Honey Grove, Tuscarora TWP, Juniata county, PA., and his family. The ledgers from that store were the subject of my recent posts on the PAJUNIATA and PAPERRY lists (March 14 and 27, 2004). I am publishing this basic information about the family on the three relevant mailing lists hoping to jog loose some additional information. Anything anyone else may know or surmise which connects with any of the people named here will be very welcome. Thank you, Larry Snyder Davis, CA ldsnyder@dcn.davis.ca.us ============================ I. Francis Snyder biography II. The Children of Francis and Mary Ann Snyder III. Sources I. Francis Snyder biography Francis Snyder was born on October 10, 1810 near Clark's Ferry, in or near the current town of Duncannon. When quite young, according to his obituary, he settled in Juniata county, and, with the exception of one year in Ohio, spent the remainder of his life in Bealetown (or Honey Grove). In 1837 he married Mary Ann Schwerdtz of Cumberland county. He is found in Tuscarora TWP in the 1840 Census, and again in 1850 at which time his occupation is given as that of miller. In 1860 his occupation is merchant, in 1870 postmaster, and in 1880 shingle-maker. In fact he was postmaster in Bealetown during three different periods, the first beginning in 1848, the last from about 1870-1885, alternating with Jesse Beale, Joshua Beale, and William van Sweringen. It was during the last stint that he changed the name of the post office, then known as Beale's Mills, to Honey Grove, which, since a number of his immediate neighbors and customers were Beales, was perhaps not the most tactful of decisions. Francis and Mary Ann had nine children, six of whom lived beyond infancy: Alfred W. (ca. 1839), Alexander McClay "Clay" (1848), Curtis S. (1851), Clara Amanda (1853), Fannie E. (1855), and Howard Sylvanus (1859). All were raised in Tuscarora TWP, but none remained there long beyond the times of their own marriages. Francis built a sturdy stone house very near the mill in Bealetown which was still standing in 1970, and may be yet. A small frame outbuilding behind the house became the little general store, but this was torn down sometime between 1960 and 1970. The ledgers from the store show it sold foodstuffs, clothing, shoes, cloth, tobacco, woodworking and farm tools, etc. In addition to cash payments, it accepted eggs, butter, hides, meat, produce, and occasionally labor, such as hauling, in trade. Beginning around 1885, Francis' health began to fail him. He is described in his obit as "suffering from a nervous affliction which was without pain, but it gradually attacked and overcame his physical powers." Mary Ann nursed him faithfully until his death on March 8th, 1894. He was buried in the Middle Tuscarora Presbyterian Cemetery in McCullochs Mills. Mary Ann Snyder's maiden name is given as Schwerdtz in F Snyder's obit, and as Schwert in family notes left by Cloyd Snyder. She was born on 17 April 1813 in Cumberland county, PA, and died on her husband's birthday, Oct. 10, in 1897. She is buried beside her husband in McCullochs Mills. There were no family records which gave information about siblings or other close relatives that Francis Snyder may have had. It was only recently that comparison of family lore with that of the Perry county's John George Snyder (1832-1894) family provided by Barbara Rivas has demonstrated that JG was most probably a brother, half-brother or possibly a nephew of Francis Snyder. Certainly their children called each other cousin, and Francis' children were the ONLY Snyder relations enumerated by JGS' sister-in-law Clara Peck in a 1916 letter about family. Though Francis' parents remain a mystery there are three bits of unprovable information which may or may not bear. One note left by Cloyd Snyder indicated Francis' father was a bodyguard for George Washington, though it does not specify whether as general or President. Recognizing that if everyone who claimed a military connection with Washington actually had one, the Revolution would have ended at the first battle with the British running for their lives, it is still a possible clue. But every potential Snyder indexed in the vast public collections of Geo Washington's papers died long before he could have sired Francis in 1810. The tale, if not fictional, would have to belong to a grandparent. Another note indicates that parents of both Francis and Mary Ann were born in Germany. If true, this would prevent our pushing the Washington story back to the generation of Francis' grandparents. The third hint involves a copied note in the John George Snyder family papers that his (JGS's) mother was named Eve. If the two are full brothers, then Francis' mother would also be Eve, but the original proof even of the name has been lost. II. The children of Francis and Mary Ann Snyder ALFRED W. SNYDER, b. ca. 1839, d. after 1906. At a young age he bacame a carpenter and moved to Spruce Hill. He later lived in Altoona. Last info I have is a mention of "uncle Alf" in a letter dated 12 Nov., 1906. Alfred married Mary Ann Ewing on 25 Dec., 1862 in Juniata co. Census data about Alfred's children are confusing. They had at least three daughters, the first two born ca. 1864 and 1866 and named either Sarah and Lizzie or Alice and Clara, and the third certainly named Lillie (ca. 1868). Lillie remained in contact with other members of the family, especially her aunts Clara and Fannie. She did not marry, but had one daughter, Clair or Clare Snyder (1888-1969), who moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1920s and married Alfred C. Myers. There is also a Will Snyder who accompanied Alfred in the carriage at his youngest brother's funeral in 1905, and it is likely that he (Will) is another child of Alfred and Mary Ann Snyder. Other possible sons are Ira, Moody, and Wesley. ALEXANDER McCLAY SNYDER, b. Oct 1848 in Tuscarora TWP, last found in the 1920 census, in Lower Merion TWP, Montgomery county. Worked as an agent for a number of gas companies, especially Lowe Water Gas in Philadelphia. He married Mary E. Miller (1862-1937) about 1880. They had one daughter, Elizabeth, born Oct 1881, who died in 1931. She may have been married to someone named Lewis, but nothing is known about it yet. The family lived in Norristown through the time of the 1920 census. A M Snyder went by "Clay," short for his middle name, McClay, though his signature, even with siblings, was simply "A M Snyder." CURTIS S. SNYDER, b. ca. 1851, married Nancy E. Orr, 4 Apr 1872 in Juniata co. They moved to Shiloh, Ohio between 1873 and 1876. They returned to the east before 1894, and moved to Williamsport PA before 1902. The move to Shiloh is based upon the entry in the 1880 Census in Shiloh Village for an S. C. Snyder, 29, born Pennsylvania, with wife N. E. Snyder, 29, also from Pennsylvania. Two of the children's names, Maggie and Maud (born ca. 1876 and 1878), correspond to young relatives Howard mentions in his 1902-03 daybook. The other daughter is Lizzie (ca. 1873). Curtis is listed in the 1910 Census, but by 1916, Clara Peck writes that he has died. CLARA AMANDA SNYDER, b. May 1853, married Ira Wentzel (b. 16 Nov 1850 near Sunbury, Northumberland co., PA.) in Juniata county on 30 Dec 1875. She and Ira moved to Bellwood (Blair), PA around 1889 Their children, according to a Wentzel family history in WENZEL-L posted by Roy C. Regel in 1999, and supplemented by the 1900 census, are David Eugene, Bertha Kuhn, Fannie Araminta, Merrill LeRoy, Lawrence Landis, Clara Leslie, Ira MClay, Mary Catherine, Howard M., Lida R., and Robert L. Clara Peck's letter of 1916 says that Ira died before the time of her writing. FANNIE (FRANCES) E. SNYDER, born June 1855, married Benjamin F. Allen (b. Oct 1849) on 13 Oct., 1883 in Juniata county. They moved to Tiro, Ohio before May 1887, when their first sone Franklin Rea was born. Their second son, Ethan A. was born there in July, 1894, and died tragically from an illness 12 March, 1903 as described in Howard Snyder's daybook. Both Fannie and Ira were still living in Tiro at the time of the 1930 Census. Franklin became a civil engineer and moved with his family to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. HOWARD SYLVANUS SNYDER, my great-grandfather, was born 2 Jan, 1859 in Honey Grove, and died 12 Sept., 1905, in Mansfield Ohio several months after being crushed in an elevator in a construction accident. He married Martha "Mattie" May Wise (b. 5 Aug 1859 Reed's Gap, Juniata co., PA, d. 4 Dec., 1906, Mansfield, Ohio) on 3 Oct 1878 in the Emanuel Wise family home in Honey Grove. For a time around 1880, Howard worked at the Honey Grove Mill, but moved to Shiloh, Ohio by 1883. By 1889, following a brief separation, Howard and Mattie had moved to Mansfield, Ohio where they remained for the rest of their short lives. Their children were Norman Revere Snyder (1879-1968), May Lucinda Snyder (1881-1980), Jessie Pearl Snyder (1883-1887), Willam Cloyd Snyder (1885-1981), Glen Allen Snyder (1889-1893), Cecil Earl Snyder (1892-1983), and E. Helen Snyder (1895-1986). Howard and Mattie Snyder's further decendents are thoroughly known. III. -- Sources 1. Francis Snyder obituary, unknown date and newspaper - preserved by family 2.

Earlier this month on PAJUNIAT, I posted some transcribed daybook entries found at the back of the Bealetown store ledgers. A number of people expressed interest in the activity in the store itself, and so I have transcribed the names of people who are listed as having had accounts at the store in the indices of the two account books. These correlated to receipt books, one of which is still in existence, dating primarily from 1858 through the mid 1860s, with some entries as late as the early 1870s. Because it is clear that a number of people were coming over the hill from the Madison (Blain) area in Perry county, I am crossposting this to PAPERRY as well. The tiny Bealetown general store was run by Francis Snyder (1810-1894), miller, merchant, shingle maker, and three times postmaster of Bealetown (or later, Honey Grove), Tuscarora TWP, in Juniata county. One receipt book and two account books were recovered from the store, then being used as a chicken coop, in the early 1960s by Wm Cloyd Snyder, Francis' grandson and my grandfather. In all there are about 800 pages in the three volumes, which are quite fragile today. I have scanned a few sample pages, but the books are in no shape to withstand copying entire. The list of customers below is a combination of the indices in the two account books. Because Francis allowed only a certain portion of a page to each customer, and then moved the account to the next free space when the first allotted space was filled, there are multiple entries for many people. As a result, the indices also contain multiple entries. I have combined these only when the spelling was identical, leaving distinct names intact, even when they most certainly refer to the same person, such as Anthony Hochenbery and Anthony Hockenberry. Francis' spelling was often what A. A. Milne once called "wobbly," but I thought it best to reproduce the names as they are spelled in the ledgers. Thus there will be a number of duplications among the 267 names listed below.

Pat, Thank you for your help! I have a listing of the Beigh's in the Liverpool Cemetery that are related to me. Sarah Beigh is actually my g.g.g.g. grandfathers daughter. Her brother Henry Beigh is my g.g.g. grandfather. I thought I might be able to get to Perry County this summer to do some research, but I don't think I can so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated! The Beigh's that I am related to in the Liverpool Cemetery are: John BEIGH born: abt. March 15, 1800, died abt. September 10, 1863. ( I don't know where his wife Catherine is buried though.). Henry BEIGH, born: about March 24,1826, died: abt. July 19, 1901, his wife, Barbara BEIGH (nee Lingle) b: May 19, 1826, d: December 15, 1874. (L)Emma BEIGH (nee Deitrick) born: June 11, 1854 d: May 22, 1895, she is the first wife of Franklin BEIGH (My g.g. grandfather). Franklin BEIGH is not in the Liverpool Cemetery. I think he might be buried with his second wife who is from Snyder County. If you could get digital pictures of theses tombstones it would be great!! If you could also see if you could find any BEIGHs in your Buffalo Twp. book that would also be helpful. The names there that I am researching are Frederick, John, Jacob & Peter. You are very thoughtful in your offer to help me. Thank You. And if there is any thing you ever need help researching let me know. I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area and would be glad to do any lookups or research for you!
