Family Trees and genealogy
Here is what I have to share and links
to other genealogy pages.



Letter from Peru

This is an interesting letter written to my Great-Grandfather around the turn of the century. It was written by his sister, while she was traveling in Peru with her family. As she says in the beginning of the letter, "it reads like a dime store novel". If you're into this kind of historical stuff.....check it out.



J.B. Shoenfelt

This is a newspaper article about Anna Isenberg's husband... My Great-Grandmother thought he was a crook and a rogue and wouldn't let Great-Grandfather do any business with him. The story goes that he asked Great-Grandfather to buy some cemetery plots for him, but Great-Grandmother insisted that the deeds be left in her name until J.B. paid for them. I guess she was right, because it was a decade or two before he finally showed up with the money.
Press coverage sure isn't what it used to be...........






Johnstown Flood of 1889

This article and illustrations appeared in "Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper" June 15, 1889. There are several illustrations included and descriptions of others.


Reverend Joseph Harper Leeper - Eyewitness Account of the Johnstown Flood of 1889

This first hand story was told in a 1919 publication by Rev. J. H. Leeper. It appears here courtesy of Wallace N. Leeper. This gripping account is not for the faint of heart.
