- BROWNLEY, LANKARD, WILLIAMS posted by Paula Pompeii on Saturday, August 12, 2000
- I'm looking for any information on Tressa Williams who lived in DuBois,Clearfield County, PA in the 1920-1930's. In letters written by my grandmother Mildred Brownley Wank in the 1920's she mentions visiting her Aunt Tress in DuBois. In Mildred's father's obituary, Mrs. Tressa Williams of DuBois was listed as attending from out of town.(Charles Brownley was buried in Brockway in 1929.)One of Charles' sisters was also named Tressa but she went by her middle name, Agnes Brownley Lankard. One of my mother's cousins remembers visiting a really old woman called Aunt Tress in DuBois, when she was very young in the mid to late 1930's, she was taken there by the Lankards. I know she must be related but I can't find the connection. Of Charles' sisters only Mary and Agnes lived to adulthood. Of Charles' father William J. Brownley, I know next to nothing. There is no mention of parents or siblings in his obituary, on his death certificate , or in the family bible. I received his pension papers form the Civil War, and his wife, Hannah, states she knew nothing of his people and that their marriage license was destroyed in a fire. If Tressa was Hannah Brownley's sister , her maiden name would be Vasbinder. If Tressa is a Brownley, it would really help me in my search for information about the elusive William Brownley. If any one has any information , please contact me. Thank you.

- CHRIST, KEIM, KOEST, OHEARN posted by Penny on Sunday, August 20, 2000
- I have placed John Stanley KEIM and his wife Sophia Alice Elizabeth KOEST KEIM in Clearfield, Pa. in 1920 thru 1925.
Their twin sons (Henry Koest KEIM and Jacob Frederick KEIM) born 'along Moorestown Rd. in Daniels Slate Quarry' in Jan. 1920. Daughter Edith KEIM b. Dec. 1921 'near the two churches' and d. Mar 1922 buried in Moorestown Cemetery. The family had another son while living there in Jul 1925. They had a total of 10 children, 9 living. It is said that they 'ran a still in the mountains'.
My questions: What cemetery is Edith KEIM buried in? Could it be Fairfield Cemetery? What 'two churches' were adjacent to each other? What is Daniels Slate Quarry?
Cannot find these folks in 1920 Census. Is this a mountainous region, and does anyone know anything about 'stills in the mountains'? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Happy Hunting!

- GINTER posted by Carol Figler on Sunday, August 27, 2000
- Response to Keith Fortney Sorry < I just found your response to my Ginter query. Your Ginter's are definitely related to mine.. The cemetery I have heard of, was just called Ginter cemetery, I don't know if this is the same. My family on my dad's side were Ginter's, his grandmother was a Ginter, and his great grandfather was Jacob Ginter, who was married twice. I am from the second marriage, the wife was Agnes Kane, although I don't have any info on her.. I have some on yours.. I have census records for the Waltz family in with my stuff, although I don't don't have any on them in my family(as far as I know). Are you related to a Bill Ginter? I talked to him several times. He is related to me by the first family of Jacob Ginter, my dad and he were second cousins. I have Conrad Ginter, being a brother to my Jacob. and Annie, as daughter, of Sarah whowas Conrad's daughter?. Back to the cemetery. I have heard there were Ginter's and Fulkerson's buried there. My relatives lived in Guelich, my father was born there, as far as I know they are all relatives, David would be grandson of Jacob Ginter, and from the first family of Jacob. Do you know if Jacob is buried there?
