Did you go to high school with any Parry kids? My cousins from
Corrigansville attend Mt. Savage. Mary Catherine Parry was more your age.
Tom was old and Eddie was younger.

> David, I graduated High School in 1961 at Mt. Savage MD. Mt. Savage
boasts of "The first iron rails in the US were forged at the Iron Works in
Mt. Savage, MD." I forgot what year is on the sign. But it is prior to
1850's.

that made Fire Brick. It has since been torn down. But evidence of the
Ovens are still there. Mt. Savage MD is located on MD Route 36 about 6
miles east of Frostburg. A very quaint little town. It is also located
quite close to the PA state line which is where lots of folks from MD ran
off to PA and got married.

with her husband (Thomas Cross) in the summer of 41 to Pennsylvania and got
married.
