1. Re: [PaCambri] Children's Home [1]
Hi, The Cambria County Children's Home was located on Rt. 22 west of Ebensburg. It was a self supporting farm institution for some years, but since the advent of foster homes, was closed sometime in the 1960s, I guess. It is presently, with many additions, the Ebensburg State School for Retarded Children. Most of the original buildings are there, and front or back on Rt. 22. One odd-factor: the state planned a new four lane Rt. 22 about that time, and planned into the construction an under-pass u
2. Re: [PaCambri] Civil War bodies [1]
If anyone is really interested in this topic and what happened to a town after a battle was over, I can recommend "When the Smoke Cleared at Gettysburg" by George Sheldon. The focus is so often on the battle itself that we don't often think about the people who made their homes in the middle of the battle. I read it last year and thought it was very good--there was so much in it that I had never thought about before. --Debra Orner Johnstown, PA
3. Re: [PaCambri] Helen Westrick and J. Holmes Gray [1]
Sorry, I do not remember. I saw this article years ago and copied it because they were shirttail relatives, and in the past few years I saw the obit of either her or her mother in the local paper, and recognized the name. The mother was married again and living somewhere else, not Cambria county. If I find it, I will post it.

6. Some U.S. statistics for 1904 [1]
Here are some of the U.S. statistics for 1904: The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years. Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1

Dear Beth, Thank you so much for posting this and clarifying this situation. I hope this will help my fellow Short researchers, who are from lines not related to me, because even though we are not related I love them all anyway! The John Short who is named as the deceased son of Felix Short, when Felix died in 1893 Carrolltown, Cambria Co, PA on Easter Sunday waiting to go to church, is a mystery to me. We don't find any marriage for him in the Ledoux records, I can't find him in any census, and I have n

10. Re: [PaCambri] Diamond, Dimond [1]
Your are correct. I mentioned some time ago that "Carroll" was pronounced "Carl" by the Germans, and so you sometimes see "Carl Township" in biographical books for Carroll Township. Many names changed this way. The Germans who emigrated in the 1840s and 1850s were much better educated than the other nationalities, but they read only in German, and spoke only their dialect of German, which varied with the locality from which they came. Germany had a much better educational system than the English sp
11. Children's Home [1]
In 1930 Census, I found siblings that were in separate institutions. The oldest was in the Cambria County Children's Home (where all children in that institution were referred to as "inmate"). And I found his sisters in a Christian Home. They weren't called inmates. Is the Cambria County Children's Home equivalent to today's Juvenile Detention Centers? I found that the mother of these children died in 1927 and their father was listed in the 1930 as an inmate in the Cambria County Jail. Can anyone te

14. Re: [PaCambri] Children's Home [1]
Hi, We've got a similar puzzle. In August 1901, John James Head was killed in a mine accident. There were 6 children, and his wife was expecting again. The family 'tale' goes that a priest took Sadie and the 6 kids to a Catholic facility (orphanage?) in Gallitzin, where she had the baby. She then went off (to try and find work I suppose), and the children were all put in different homes. At least one girl was adopted by the foster-family. It seems unlikely that they would have gone to the Cambri

Thank you for the information. I believe the McDowell Cemetery is near there, also, and many people from the Northern Cambria Area are still being buried in these cemeteries. There are very good lists for them in the Indiana County Historical Society, but I do not know if they are on a web site. Marilyn

I know the original family, named Drenkel, who were the step-siblings of my g-grandmother, Sophia Ebig. Her mother, Genevieve, was first married to Bernard Drenkel, who died in Germany; then to Roman Ebig/Ibig, in Germany, and then emigrated to Carrolltown Area with at least some of the Drenkel children.
