    3. STARK FAMILY There were two Stark lines that I am aware of: One originated from Gottlieb Stark, who immigrated from Germany. He had a wagon-building business on W. Pittsburgh St. in Greensburg near where the BP station now stands. His son John F. Stark, was in business with him and was the father of two sons: H. Frank Stark and Cyrus N. Stark. Frank and Cyrus were partners in Stark Brothers Construction, a Greensburg firm. Another Stark line originated with John ADAM Stark, another German immigrant from Wittenberg, where he learned the wagon-building trade. He settled on W. Otterman St and had a carriage-building business in back of his home, which sat on the N.W. corner of Otterman & Pennsylvania Sts. in Greensburg. John ADAM Stark married Charlotte Holser and they had 11 children, 2 of whom were still alive in 1890, Caleb H. and George. I am not related to any of these people. My interest stems from a study of Greensburg industry and the Stark’s involvement in the carriage\wagon building business. Does anyone on the list know whether the 2 immigrants, John ADAM Stark, and Gottlieb Stark, were related? ********************** jim miller/621 grove st ********************** greensburg pa 15601
