Although these names don't ring a bell, I'm very interested in this line of yours. My grandmother was Bertha Mae Young, daughter of Clyde Robert Young (b. ca 1883) and Laura Kellaway. I *think* Clyde's parents' names were Frank and Mary, and there was another child named Pearl, also a son named James m/Myrtle 'unknown,' but they didn't have any children. The reason I'm writing is because my grandmother was born in the Altoona area. I wonder if there's a connection?
