I don't know if it is on-line, but it was Benjamin Franklin's Newspaper.
Abstracts were done years ago by Ken Scott, and were available in from
Southwest Pennsylvania Genealogical Services, po box 253, in Laughlintown
PA(that was the address in 1983, when my copy of the Pennsylvania Line was
printed!). Perhaps your local Historical Society will have copies.

now have a list of source books to take in for the inter-library loan
program. You need a library card to access the POWER LIBRARY, but it is well

I have a copy of the "History of Pine Grove Furnace" by Lenore Embick Flower
which was published by The Cumberland County Historical Society in 1975.
Unfortunately, none of your ancestors are mentioned as being associated with
its history. The Ege's are the primary family associated with the furnace.
Some of the other surnames mentioned are Thornburg, Watt, Fuller, Blackfort,
Wahley, Moorehead, Sours, Martin and Hyle.
