David Stickel, merchant, farmer and liveryman of Perryopolis, was born in Fayette Co. Pa., Sept. 4, 1837. He is the son of the late George Stickel, who was an honest and hard working man, and came to Perry Twp. about a century ago, about 1800, and settled on a part of the George Washington lands, near where the Washington Coke works are now situated. The valley in which George Stickel located was named Stickel Valley, after him. David Stickel was reared to hard work, obtained a common school education, and has made his own way in life. He now owns a good store, has a first class livery, and is engaged to a considerable extent in farming. He is a democrat politically, but is no politician, and gives his time chiefly to his different business enterprises. In 1857, David Stickel married Margaret McClain, a daughter of John and Mary McClain. To their union was born 4 sons; George F., born Feb. 2, 1858, a partner with his father in the mercantile business, who on June 16, 1896, wed Annie B. Nutt, who was a daughter of the late William and Mary McCuen Nutt. Mrs. George F. Stickel was born in 1865 and died in 1897, leaving one child, a son, who soon followed her to the tomb. John, born Oct. 31, 1859, and married Annie Forsythe. Harry, born in 1865 and Elmer P. born in 1869, married Mary Wilkes in 1894 and has two children, Margaret and Arthur. Mrs. Stickel died Dec. 27, 1889 and in 1891, David Stickel married his second wife, Nevada Armstrong. By his second marriage, Mr. Stickel has two children, Gertrude, born May 26, 1892 and David, born Apr. 10, 1896. The Stickels were originally of the Quaker faith. I am researching Elmer 1869 - 1946 and Mary Wilkes 1876 - 1949. They are buried in the Quaker Church cemetery in Perryopolis. Would also like to know where Davids Father, George came from.

Beverly Connellsville Courier, March 1910 Traces Marietta Family History to Duke of Orleans Ohio Woman Here on Visit, Tells of Her Researches. DESCENDED FROM ROYALTY Three sons of Louis Philippe Came to America With Lafayette's Army to Fight for the American Colonies; Marietta's of Town Descendants. Mrs. L. S. Colburn, of Columbus O., has about completed an interesting story of the Marietta family of which she is a member. Mrs. Colburn is the wife of Rev. Colburn, a Baptist minister at Columbus, and is visiting her sister, Mrs. Z. S. Moon of Carnegie Ave. Since a small child she has been interested in the family name and its origin. For the many years she has been compiling the history and in search of data has traveled extensively and visited many public libraries. She was successful in discovering how the name was derived through the American mister to France, to whom she wrote seeking information. Luis Philippe, Duke of Orleans and the great grandfather of Mrs. Colburn, while banished from France met and married Marie Etta Amelia de Bourbon, daughter of Frederick IV King, Naples and Venice. The court of France on account of a feud between the two families, changed the name to Marietta. After the accession of Louis XVIII, they returned to France and later to England and during the French Revolution, LaFayette and LaFitte selected him king thinking him the best available leader of the liberal monarchial party. He was dethroned in 1843 and fled to England, where he went into private life. He died in 1850 and his wife died in August 1866. Louis Philippe Marietta's three sons, George, Jacob and Joseph came to America with Lafayette's army. One brother was lost, and no trace of him was ever found. Joseph Marietta, one of the brothers, was the father of Jacob Marietta, who was born and reared at Mill run and died there. Jacob's children are Mrs. L. S. Colburn, C Columbus, O.; Mrs. Z. S. Moon, Connellsville; John Marietta, Dunbar; George Marietta, Mill Run; and Mrs. Bertha Moon, McKeesport. George Marietta, who came here with his brothers, was the great grandfather of Mayor Rockwell Marietta. ==== PAFAYETT Mailing List ==== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverly Domer" To: [PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2000 6:13 AM Subject: Obit John Kurtz 1914 Connellsville s/o Somerset parents JOHN KURTZ DIES AT 88; LIVED IN CITY ALL HIS LIFE Member of Family Long Identified With Connellsville Affairs. SERVED TERM AS BURGESS Learned Hatter's Trade in His Father's Factory When Youth But Engaged in the Mercantile BusinessIn Later Years; Family of Fighters John Kurtz, one of Connellsville's oldest and best known citizens, died early this morning at his home at the corner of Pittsburg street and Crawford avenue, following a brief illness which resulted from a fall about two weeks ago. He was 88 years old. Mr.Kurtz suffered a slight stroke following this apparently trivial mishap but was not compelled to take his bed until Wednesday of this week. He was conscious to the last. Mr. Kurtz was born in Connellsville and lived his life here. He came of a distinguished family, one that has been prominent in civic and business affairs for several generations. He also came from a family of fighters, being one of four brothers all of whom saw service in the Civil War. He was a brother of William F. Kurtz, who fell at Fredericksburg and in whose honor the local G. A. R. post is named. Three generations of the Kurtz family have served from time to time as burgess of Connellsville. Josiah Kurtz, his father, was burgess in 1831. Fifty years later, in 1881 John Kurtz was elected to that position, while his son, Josiah B. Kurtz served as burgess in 1893, 1894, 1896 and from 1900 to 1902. John Kurtz's career as an office-holder, was confined to his single term as burgess. His father was first elected to office in 1826, when he was named borough treasurer. He was in the town council in 1833 and again in 1867, and was treasurer in 1874 and 1876. Josiah and Elizabeth Kurtz, parents of John Kurtz were natives of Somerset, coming to Connellsville about 1825. John Kurtz was their oldest child. He was born in Connellsville, on the site of the Stader building, at the corner of Main street and Meadow Lane, on October 7, 1826 There were seven children in family, four of whom are still living. All four of the sons of Josiah Kurtz served in the Civil War. They were William F. Kurtz, Henry Kurtz, Samuel Kurtz, who died about five years ago, and John Kurtz. John Kutrz enlisted in 1865 and served for nine months in the Sixth Heavy Artillery. The sisters who are living are Mrs.Carrie Stillwagon, Miss Ellen Kurtz and Mrs. Christina Kilpatrick, wife of Worb? Kilpatrick. On January 1, 1850, John Kurtz married Miss Catherine Keepers. She died in 1916. Five children were born to this union, Josiah B. Kurtz of Connellsville, Isaac W. Kurtz of Peru, Ind., Harry L. Kurtz of Pittsburg, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Freed of town, and J. Charles Kurtz who died a few years ago. John Kurtz is also survived by a single grandchild, Miss Frances H. Freed. Josiah Kurtz was a hat manufacturer and had an extensive business in the early days of the borough. His factory and store occupied what is now the Stader building, on Main street. Although John Kurtz learned the hatter's trade at an early age, he never followed it to any great extent, spending most of his time in the store. He remained in business until about 1900. The hats made by Josiah Kurtz had a wide reputation. They were sold in all parts of the country; and not infrequently shipments were made to Cincinnati and other points by boat, the Youghiogheny being navigable in those times. In addition to his duties in the store which he conducted, John Kurtz was also a notary public and conveyancer. It is said that he has probably written more wills than any man in Connellsville. For many years he was practically the only man to whom such matters were taken. He also engaged rather extensively in the realty business. For the past several years Mr.Kurtz had been in feeble health. He came down town regularly, however, and was a familiar figure. He invariably wore a high silk hat, which seemed incongruous only to the younger generation. Mr. Kurtz was probably the best known of the older residents of town, and was highly respected by all. Since the death of his wife in 1910, he and his son, Josiah B. Kurtz continued to make their home in the South Pittsburg street residence. The dwelling was erected about 12 years ago, following the sale of the Kurtz property on East Main street to the Elks. They had resided on Main street about 30 years prior to that sale moving to there from the home in the downtown section. Mr. Kurtz was member of General Worth Encampment, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He had been a member of the Odd Fellows for 40 years and they will have charge of the funeral services, which will be held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at the home. Rev. G. L.C. Richardson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Rev. T. H. Pershing, a former pastor, will officiate. Interment will be private in Chestnut Hill cemetery. Mr. Kurtz was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years. ==== PAFAYETT Mailing List ==== -----Original Message----- From: JLPeake@aol.com [mailto:JLPeake@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2000 7:05 PM To: PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Elvaretta POUNDSTONE BRITT obit Thursday June 28, 1917 After an illness extending over a period of three and one-half years death came to Mrs. Elveretta POUNDSTONE BRITT Friday evening at 5:20 o'clock.

We could look out into the parking lot of South Union High School and also see Mrs. Hamilton's house which was on the corner. She walked to school each day. She was rather formal, I believe she wore a hat and gloves to school which she would remove when she arrived. She was not a TLC teacher, but she was nice. She was however the only teacher who ever made me stand in the corner. She and her husband had a Willis sedan that was always washed and waxed and I thought that car was great.

IVAN A. ZIMMERMAN,82, of Layton Pa., had lived what an acquaintance called a "very frugal life" He was in the habit of walking the four miles from Layton to Perryopolis and hitchhiking on Route 51 , from there to Uniontown or Pittsburgh. He sold small quantities of eggs and poultry from a farm he owned in Westmoreland Co. He ate dinner frequently at the County Home, and when he became sick, he was admitted there as a patient. One night when he came to the home for dinner, " his legs just gave out and he couldn't leave, " an official said. BANK SAVINGS Yet when authorities entered his home at Layton, they found that he had over $ 200,000 - mostly in bank saving certificates. Records filed in the estate indicated this. Mr. Zimmerman, a retired railroad telegrapher, had savings accounts in at least five different banks, most of them in Pittsburgh, one of them alone amounted to $ 82.000. His ownership of the farm, between West Newton and Mount Pleasant, also was a surprise to friends in the Perry area. For the last few years he had tenants on the farm. WIFE DIED IN 1958 Mr. Zimmerman had lived alone in the house at Layton since the death of his wife in 1958. Their one son had died some years ago. The house, is an ordinary two- story frame dwelling. Police officers said it was in poor condition. Mr. Zimmerman was not a recluse in the sense of "shutting himself up." He wore proper clothing and kept himself clean. He made frequent trips to Uniontown and was well known in several downtown stores. When he had to make a trip, he hitchhiked... and he didn't live in the style one would expect of a man who had a comfortable sum " salted away ." RAILROAD TELEGRAPHER Mr. Zimmerman worked for many years as a telegrapher for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, starting about 1900 when he was a young man. He retired prior to World War 11, but was recalled to work during the war years because of the shortage of manpower, retiring again after the war was over. Apparently his financial worth was based entirely on his savings, coupled perhaps with wise investments. Friend's described him as an intelligent, well-spoken man. Some indication of his financial status could have been gained perhaps, by the fact that he buried his wife in Jefferson Memorial Park, at Whitehall, near Pittsburgh, a cemetery decidedly not in the "inexpensive class." He was also buried there on Jan. 25. Mr. Zimmerman was admitted to the County Home on Jan. 5 and died on Jan.22. Funeral services were held on Jan. 24, at the Blair Funeral Home, Perryopolis. Meanwhile , neighbors hadn't seen him around the house, and called Perry Twp. Police Chief, John Lesho. He and Perryopolis, Police Chief, Louis Martinak entered the house but did not see anything of great value. After learning that Mr. Zimmerman was in the County Home, they didn't investigate further. Chief Lesho said that there was an indication that the house could have been burglarized. Letters of administration have been granted to Mr. Zimmerman's only survivors,- two brothers, Roy Zimmerman, who is Superintendent of Schools in Englewood N. J., and Walter H. Zimmerman, a Ringtown Pa. (Schuylkill Co.) businessman. They retained State Sen. Thomas Kalman as legal counsel. Senator Kalman said that the inventory and appraisal will be filed within a couple of weeks. Ivan Zimmerman died Jan. 22. 1962. His nickname was Zip. ==== PAFAYETT Mailing List ==== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan Lyons" To: [PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 4:09 PM Subject: [Pafayett-L] Carson Wilkes Obits Martha L.
