I am trying to see who he may have been living with at that time. George was a brother of my grandfather Samuel Webb. Samuel and George were raised by Joseph Newton & Elizabeth Jane Webb Buzza, both of Eng., in Clarion Co., PA. Other siblings were:William John Webb, Mary Jane Webb Mahood, Amelia Ellen Webb Sheffer, Elizabeth Webb Blauser, Reatha Webb McClure Benson who d. in 1919. George was a coal miner & was to have been in a mining accident sometime in 1902. On July 5,1904 he was admitted to the Warren State Hospital. When George died July 19,1926 there was an obit in the Franklin paper on July 20th stating that he had been a former resident of Plumer. I do have him in the 1880 census in Clarion Co. with the Buzza family (his uncle & aunt) & in 1910 & 1920 census at Warren State Hospital. I can not locate him in 1900. This is all I have been able to piece together for George & I would appreciate any inf. that someone might have on him. It was thought that he may have had his mining accident in Clearfield area, but so far I have not been able to comfirm that. The family never talked abt. him, so I have always wondered why he was in Plumer & if he was living with someone there, perhaps they were caring for him &/or maybe friends of the family, I just don't know. The Warren State Hospital would not give me any more inf. than the date he was admitted from Venango Co., his age, height & weight & date he died. Thank you very much.
