"Jacob Horner, youngest son of Jacob Horner, grandson of John Horner, the pioneer, was born in Hornerstown, and at one time owned nearly all the land in that locality. He laid out Hornerstown, which was called after his father, and also laid out Sandyvale Cemetery. He was a substantial man, a farmer by principal occupation, but a good business man in whatever he undertook, and if he saw an enterprise that promised better returns than the farm he was generally ready to invest. When the old Pennsylvania canal was building he was engaged in that work as a boss, and during the palmy canal days he owned a line of boats that ran between Johnstown and Pittsburg. For several years he was assistant superintendant of the old Portage railroad.

The portion of the farm on which these houses have been located is owned by Mr. Theodore Cover, the well-known carpenter, son of Alexander, and their construction was superintended by him personally. The village is regularly laid off in lots and squares, with streets and alleys of proper width. The lots are fifty feet wide and one hundred and twenty feet deep. During the summer Mr. Cover has disposed of thirty lots, and seven dwellings have been erected. The distance from the head of Main street to Daisyville is about one mile, but from the Bedford pike, in the Seventh Ward, the distance to the village is not much more than half a mile. Mr. Cover expects that during next season thee will be quite a number of houses built within the limits of his embryo town, and that in a few years the place will be in fact, as it is in name, a "daisy". * He appeared on the census in 1840 in Conemaugh Twp, Cambria Co, Pa. page 14 line 02 COVER, Alexander 2000 010000000 - 0000 100000000 man 30-40, woman 20-30 2 boys 0-5 [Benjamin 2, Silas 0] * He appeared on the census in 1850 in Conemaugh Twp, Cambria Co, Pa. page 121 house 213 family 242 COVER, Alexander 41 farmer Sarah 33 illiterate Benjamin F 12 in school Silas 10 in school Jacob 7 Worthington 5 John 3 Sarah 5/12 HENRY, Ruth 49 illiterate * He appeared on the census in 1860 in Conemaugh Twp, Cambria Co, Pa. page 250 house 2132 family 2157 COVER, Alexander 57 farmer $4500 of land $600 of property Sarah 44 can't write Benj.

Noted events in his life were: * Biography Henry Wilson Storey's History of Cambria County, V.III, p.654 AMOS COVER, of Johnstown, one of the oldest residents of Cambria county, now living in retirement at, Walnut Grove, was born November 13, 1817, on the homestead on Cover Hill, Conemaugh township, son of Adam and Mary (Bashore) Cover. The personal history of Adam Cover will be found in the sketch of C. B. Cover, which appears elsewhere in this work. Amos Cover attended the earliest schools of Johnstown, which were the old-fashioned subscription schools, his first teacher being a Mr. Birry. The schools were held only during the winter months and from various causes he lost no less than half that short period. When only a boy he began to assist his father in the farm duties, helping to clear much of the land where Daisytown now stands, that forming part of the estate. He remained at home until the age of twenty-six, when he married and settled on a farm consisting of seventy-seven acres, situated in Taylor township, belonging to his father-in-law. This property he improved, erecting new buildings, and subsequently adding, at different times, tracts of fifty and fifty-seven acres respectively, both adjoining his own land. Throughout his long career as a farmer he was extremely successful, managing his estate with the most gratifying results until the autumn of 1906, when he retired to his present home in Walnut Grove. While a resident of Taylor township in 1877 he became a member of the German Baptist church, with which he has ever since been prominently identified. He has attended every conference held by the church since 1894, when the session was held at Myersdale, Pennsylvania. He has since been present at conferences held at Carthage, Missouri; Frederick City, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Bellefontaine, Ohio; Bristol Farm, Roanoke, Virginia, and Springfield, Illinois. On the last occasion and a few preceding it he was the oldest member present. Mr. Cover has been twice married. By his first wife he had one child: Lucinda, who became the wife of Levi Leidy, and died in Taylor township, January 30, 1888, leaving six sons: Harry, lives on his grandfather Cover's farm, married Savilla Weissinger; Howard, at home; Amos, of Taylor township, married Abigail Rose; John, of the neighborhood of Pittsburg, married Mabel Stevens; Blair, at home; and George, teaching in the public schools. The mother of these children died September 24, 1881, and is buried in Singer graveyard. Mr. Cover married (second) November 20, 1833, Sarah Varner, who is, like himself, a devout member of the German Baptist church, of which she became a member in 1861. Notwithstanding his advanced age, having now entered his nintieth year, Mr. Cover is active and energetic both mentally and physically. He writes without glasses, and can partially dispense with their assistance in reading. His long record of integrity and usefulness, combined with his kind and charitable disposition, has won for him the well-deserved veneration and love with which he is regarded by all. Mrs. Cover was born March 31, 1842, in Conemaugh township, and until her marriage lived there and in Taylor township, at the home of her grandfather Goode. She is a daughter of Samuel Varner, who was born in Conemaugh township, son of George and Christina (Horner) Varner, both of German descent, and the former a well-known farmer. Samuel Varner married, and his children were: Sarah, wife of Amos Cover; Nancy, wife of Abraham Fyock, of Walnut Grove; Caroline, wife of Samuel Knabel, of Adams township; Jacob C., of Adams township, married Susannah Knabel; Lucinda, deceased, wife of Jacob Arthur; and Harriet Jane, died in childhood, Mr. and Mrs. Varner both died in Taylor township, at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Cover, the latter passing away in 1892, aged sixty-nine, and the death of the former occurring in 1893, he being then seventy-five years old. * He appeared on the census on 16 Jul 1860 in Taylor Twp, Cambria Co, Pa. reel M653_1088 page 518 house 2012 family 2035 Johnstown P.O.

Noted events in his life were: * Biography Biographical & Portrait Cyclopedia of Cambria County Pennsylvania, p.322 JACOB C. HORNER, a descendant of one of the early pioneer settlers of Cambria county, Pennsylvania, is a son of Jacob and Catherine (Horner) Horner, and was born in Hornerstown, now the Seventh ward of Johnstown, July 26, 1835. His great-grandfather, John Horner, a native of Adams county, was one of the early pioneer settlers of Cambria county, locating here when the prosperous county was principally a forest. Jacob Horner, paternal grandfather, was born in Adams county, Pennsylvania; he too was a pioneer settler in Cambria county. Locating there when a young man, he purchased a large tract of land, now the Seventh ward of Johnstown, known as Hornerstown prior to its annexation to the above city, and named in honor of Jacob Horner. He followed the pursuits of a farmer, and died in 1842 at the age of sixty-four years. Christian Horner, maternal grandfather of our subject, was born in Franklin county, January 25, 1778, and died October 6, 1865. Mr. Horner was married the first time in 1799 by Rev. Stoy, the founder of Stoyestown, Somerset county. The same year he removed within the present limits of Cambria county and first located near Johnstown. He was compelled to camp out with his family under a tree till he had a cabin erected to protect them from the winter. This was the year before Johnstown was laid out by Joseph Johns. Subsequently Squire Horner, as he was familiarly called, removed to the Geis farm, Richland township. Here he resided until 1847, when he removed to Somerset county. Mr. Horner, in common with the residents of Cambria county at that early day, had to endure great hardships. Salt could not be produced at any nearer point thaan Bloody Run, in Bedford county. There the settlers, their only road a narrow bridle-path, would annually resort and exchange their furs for iron and salt, and then lead their horses, laden with these necessary articles, over the mountain to their homes in the then wilderness. Salt at that day cost four dollars per bushel. Jonas Horner, the father of Christina Horner, at an early day dedicated the bottom of the bank of Stonycreek now adjoining Sandyvale cemetery, as a family burying-ground. The first person buried in this lot was a daughter of Christian Horner, who died in 1800. In 1809 Governor Snyder commissioned Mr. Horner a justice of the peace for Conemaugh township, Cambria county. It will give some idea of Squire Horner's jurisdiction when we state the fact that Conemaugh township then embraced the territory in which are now included in the townships of Conemaugh, Croyle, Summerhill, Jackson, Taylor, Yoder and Richland and the towns of Johnstown and Wilmore. This office has held until he removed to Somerset county in 1847. Mr. Horner was married the second time in 1828. He had in all fifteen children. His remains are interred in the Horner family burying-ground, since removed to Sandyvale cemetery. Jacob Horner, the father of our subject, was born in Hornerstown, now Seventh ward, Johnstown, in 1803, and at one time owned the greater part of the land upon which it was built and laid out the town, also Sandyvale cemetery, in the Seventh ward of the city of Johnstown. For a few years he was assistant superintendent of the old Portage railroad, and was a boss on a portion of the old Pennsylvania canal. In politics he was a democrat, and filled the office of poor-house director for three years, and that of council for several terms in the borough of Johnstown, and was captain and owner of three different canal-boats in the old canal days. He died in December, 1874, and was buried in Sandyvale cemetery, January 1, 1875. Jacob C. Horner was reared in Hornerstown and received a common-school education. On leaving school he was employed on the old homestead farm and also boated on the old Pennsylvania canal. In 1857 he went to work for the Cambria Iron company, heating rails; he remained in their employ twenty-seven years. Since 1884 he has lived a comparatively retired life. Politically Mr. Horner is a democrat and served six years as councilman in the borough of Johnstown before the organization of the city, and four years as select councilman of the city, and is at present the oldest resident of his ward. In 1857 he married Miss Mary Ann Shaffer, a daughter of Martin and Mary Ann Shafferand grand-daughter of Judge Kurtz, of Somerset, Pennsylvania. They have five sons and three daughters living: Eva Belle, the wife of George A. Maters, of Johnstown; Dora C., the wife of Alonzo Singer, of Johnstown; Edward W., Curtis E., Jacob M., Bertie E., Otho I., and Emory C. His mother, Catharine Horner, died September 23, 1895, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. "Jacob C. Horner, youngest son and child of Jacob and Catherine Horner, and great-grandson of John Horner, the Cambria county pioneer, was born at Hornerstown, July 26, 1835, and has sepnt his whole life on the locality where three generations of the family before him have lived, and where some of his childeren and grandchildren are now living. He was brought up to farm work and attended the common schools of the township. For a time he ran his father's line of canal boats between Johnstown and Pittsburg, and in 1857 went to work as a rail heater in the iron mills of Wood, Morrell & Co., which concern afterward became the Cambria Steel Company. He continued at this employment until 1884, and then retired to give attention to his large personal interests. He is undoubtedly the oldest native of Johnstown now living in that city. In politics Mr. Horner is a Democrat. He served six years as member of the Johnstown borough council previous to the city charter and four years as the select councilman after the borough became a city. On the 1st of December, 1857, he married Mary Ann Shaffer, daughter of Martin and Mary Ann (Kurtz) Shaffer, and granddaughter of the late Judge Kurtz of Somerset county, one of the judges of the circuit court. On the 1st of April, 1858, after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Horner began keeping house in their present home, where they have now lived almost half a century. The disastrous flood of 1889 moved the house from its foundation, but cauzssed no further damage. While the flood was at its greatest height Mr. Horner took refuge on the roof of his house, while his wife and some of their children were lodged in the branches of a large tree. Although all of them escaped death in the awfu rush of waters, their situation was perilous in the extreme.

In every community there always seem to be a few who are ready to shoulder the burdens of progress and enterprise for all the rest, and who are peculiarly fitted for these responsibilities. To this class belongs in the first rank the man whose name heads this sketch. Jacob Jacoby, prominent mill owner and contractor, and at present superintendent of Maple Grove Park, represents a family which has been settled in Pennsylvania for some generations. Peter Jacoby, father of Jacob Jacoby, was born in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, in 1791, and lived to be eighty years of age, his death occurring in 1879. He received his education in the common schools of his district, and then perfected himself as a shoemaker and a stone mason. He contracted for and built several houses in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, then settled in Locust Grove, where he followed the occupation of Shoemaking for several years. He purchased a farm at Locust Grove, which by successive additions grew to be four hundred acres in extent and well cultivated. In politics he was an old line Whig, and a member of the Lutheran church. He married Mary Loup, born 1792, died 1886, and their children were: Jonas; John; Levi; Ephraim; Jacob, of whom later; Sarah; Elizabeth; Rebecca; Jennie; Susanna; and two who died in infancy. Jacob Jacoby, fifth son and child of Peter and Mary (Loup) Jacoby, was born on the old homestead at Locust Grove, Pennsylvania, March 20, 1836. His early years were spent on the homestead, and he attended the common schools of the district, obtaining a very good education. At the early age of sixteen years he built a saw and grist mill, and the following year erected a house which is in his possession at the present time (1906). He removed to Johnstown and built the flour mill now operated by McDermott, Wertz & Company. His residence in Johnstown dates from 1857, when he commenced the general contracting business, which he followed with unvaried success until 1880. At this time he removed to his present home at Walnut Grove. He superintends Maple Grove Park in this place, and his excellent management makes this a resort of great popularity. In it is located a modern merry-go-round and a panorama, considered to be one of the finest in the state. He is a member of the Lutheran church; a stanch adherent of the Republican party; and a member of Conemaugh Lodge, No. 17, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr. Jacob is a man of great enterprise and executive ability, as is evidenced by the successful issue of the business affairs in which he has been engaged at various time. He is highly respected for his integrity and business acumen, and for many other sterling qualities. He married (first), August 5, 1859, Julia Horner, daughter of Eli B. and Sarah (Horner) Horner, and their children were: Sarah, deceased; John H., deceased; Margaret, married George A. Markeley; William, married Amanda Bitner, Harry, married Florence Claycomb; Jacob W.; Karl Edward, married Florence B. Berket; one child died in infancy. Mr. Jacoby married (second), October 26, 1899, Louise McConnell. Mrs. Jacoby comes from an old and highly respected family which has been identified with the state of Pennsylvania from colonial times. Her parents were Francis S. and M. Catherine (Burkett) McConnell. Francis S. McConnell was a son of Cornelius and Rosanna (Christy) McConnell. Cornelius McConnell came from county Cork, Ireland. The father of Rosanna Christy came from Scotland. He was a boilermaker and machinist by occupation, and was killed in a street car accident in Johnstown, in 1904. His wife was a daughter of Henry and Esther (Dick) Burkett. Her father was a native of Claysburg, Blair county, Pennsylvania, and was owner of a large distillery at that place. Francis S. and M. Catherine (Burkett) McConnell were the parents of seven children: 1. Alice, married Martin Graybill. 2. Louisa. who became the wife of Jacob Jacoby, as hereinbefore narrated. 3.

Jacob Fyock, father of Abraham Fyock, was born about the year 1812. He purchased a large tract of land in Conemaugh township, near the Frankstown road, and this he cleared of timber, proceeded to cultivate, and it is at the present day the Fyock family homestead, and in the possession of his son David. The greater part of his life was spent on this homestead, and he was very successful in its cultivation. He married Barbara Reichard, and had children: 1. Samuel, married Mary Lehman, had nine children, all now deceased, eight of them being carried off in early youth by diphtheria. 2. Jacob, married Susannah Berkebeil, and had children: John, George, Richard, Ida, Clara and Mary. 3. Abraham, see forward. 4. Daniel, married Annie Wissinger, and had children: Ezra, George, Jerome, Henry, Cyrus, Andrew, Harvey, James, Rose and Sevilla. 5.

Annie, married George Keiper, and had children: Sevilla and Emma. Abraham Fyock, third son and child of Jacob and Barbara (Reichard) Fyock, was born on the Fyock homestead, November 30, 1844. His early years were spent on the farm of his father, assisting the latter in its management and thus acquiring a practical working knowledge of the details of farm life. Upon the death of his father he resided with his brother, who had assumed the management of affairs, until he had attained his eighteenth year, when he removed to Johnstown and obtained a position with the Cambria Steel Company in the rolling mill. He enlisted in Company F, One Hundred and Ninety-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, in 1864, Captain Stackhouse, commanding. He served in all ten months, taking an active part in the battles of Petersburg, Five Points, and several others. He was present with his regiment at the surrender of Lee. At the close of the war he was honorably discharged, and returned to Johnstown, where he found employment with John Tieter, a farmer. Later he married and went with his wife to live on the Fyock homestead, remaining there until 1869, when he purchased a farm in that vicinity. He cultivated this successfully until 1892, when he sold it to advantage and retired from active work. He removed to Walnut Grove, where he purchased a comfortable dwelling, with some adjoining land, and devoted all his time and attention to the Dunkard church of Walnut Grove, to which he had been elected minister in 1889. Ten years later the congregation elected him an elder, and at the present time (1906) he is filling both these offices in an eminently satisfactory manner. He has also charge of the Bolivar Dunkard church, at Bolivar, Pennsylvania, where he preaches twice each month. His long and faithful services in the interests of this church have been fully appreciated. Mr. Fyock married, November 23, 1865, Nancy Varner, daughter of Samuel and Catherine (Good) Varner.

General Notes: "Death Rode The Rails" by Joe Bennett Afterward, Andrew McDevitt, the conductor on Car 102 would say, "We knew what was about to happen". They knew, but there was nothing McDevitt and motorman Angus Varner could do about it, and what began as a picnic excursion on a perfect Saturday morning--August 12, 1916--became one the worst trolley disasters in Western Pennsylvania history. The Southern Cambria Railway, a single-track trolley line, had opened in 1910 to serve Johnstown and neighboring Cambria County communities. Because of the area's steep terrain, the building of the railway was regarded as the greatest achievement in trolley line engineering anywhere up to that time. Most treacherous of all was the 11-mile run along the Conemaugh River between Johnstown and South Fork. Ledges cut out of the hillsides there served as right-of-way for the tracks, and in some places the cars rattled along 200 feet above the river. A 525-foot steel trestle spanned a valley between Johnstown and Conemaugh. The frequency of accidents on the railway caused many people to be afraid to ride it, and this contributed to the eventual failure of the line in 1928. Extra Trolley On August 12, 1916, though, business was booming. A three-family reunion involving the Conner, Ribblett and Dishong clans was taking place at an Ebensburg park, and to accommodate the rush of passengers, an extra trolley--No.102--was put into service. That morning, the car picked up a load of picnickers and hauled them across the hills to Ebensburg. It started back, picking up Johnstown-bound passengers on the way, and reached a place known as Burkharts, about five miles northeast of Johnstown. The motorman had been instructed to pull onto a siding and let car No. 104, coming up the hill from Johnstown, pass. Taylor Thomas was the motorman on 104; he too was hauling a load of picnickers to the reunion in Ebensburg. While his car labored up the mountain, No. 102 was far above, approaching the siding. Motorman Varner pulled off the main track and applied the air brake. The car kept rolling. As it picked up speed, Varner realized the air brake was not going to work, but the trolley was equipped with two emergency hand brakes. Using their combined strength, Varner and McDevitt yanked on the hand brake, but the chain snapped and the car kept gaining speed. They rushed to the second brake and tried again. Same result. By now, Car 102 had rushed off the siding and was back on the main track, gathering speed. A little over a mile down the mountain, Car 104 with its happy picnickers was toiling upward. There was one last chance for Angus Varner. Although the braking system had failed, it was possible to stop the car by reversing the motor, if he could do it without burning out the main fuse. Varner threw the motor into reverse. The car hummed, shuddered and began to slow down, for a few seconds. Then the crucial fuse blew, and Car 102 became a complete runaway. "We warned the passengers," McDevitt said later, "If we were going at all, we were going 75 miles an hour." Car 104 had just rounded a curve, and almost as soon as the passengers saw the juggernaut, it was upon them. The massive head-on impact turned the vehicles to steel rubble instantly. Both were telescoped to a fraction of their original length. The collision took place in a narrow ledge about 150 feet above the Conemaugh, but neither car left the tracks. Most of the victims were trapped in the trolleys. The motormen--Varner and Thomas-- were among the first to die. Early arrivals at the scene were J. Milton Horner and Olive Varner, a cousin of the motorman. The couple had been on their way to their wedding ceremony when they heard of the crash. Horner pitched in freeing survivors from the wreckage while his bride-to-be nursed the injured, tearing strips of cloth from her wedding dress for bandages. "No More" All day, rescue workers brought out the dead and injured. Three more cars were brought up the line to serve as ambulances. One man emerged from the wreckage, carrying a mangled little girl and gasped, "That's is. I can't stand anymore." He turned and shuffled away down the tracks. Among the passengers on Car 104 was constable Cobaugh, cuffed to him were two local men who were being taken to the county jail for drunkenness and assault and battery respectively. Cobaugh, badly hurt, released the prisoners, both of whom joined in the rescues efforts. Afterwards, one of them returned to Johnstown where he turned himself in to police. The other boarded a freight train to nearby Cresson. As he was getting off, he was struck by another train and hurled down a 40-foot embankment, suffering a broken arm. When the dead and injured had been sorted out the toll in the trolley collision stood initially at 26 dead. This later rose to 28. Most of the victims were from the Johnstown area, but James Anderson of Swissvale was killed, his wife suffered two crushed legs, and their daughter sustained two broken legs. Five members of the Benjamin Ribblett family died in the wreck, and the entire family of Chester Dishong-- the father, mother and two children--was wiped out. The next day, while the bodies lay in a Johnstown morgue, burglars looted the vacant Dishong home in Tanneryville. Noted events in his life were: * Tombstone: (7) Angus H.

He came to his death by accident. He had gone to Mahaffey, Pa., on Monday Nov. 23, for a car load of lumber, and not being able to secure an empty car at once, he used his spare time in hunting. To try his gun, he shot into a tree on the bank of the river and went to see the effect of the shot. Having placed another shell in the gun, he stepped out on the river bank, putting the stock of gun on the ground, and leaning on it looking of what he might see; the thin strata of earth under the gun gave way, the gun struck a root, was discharged, and the contents entered his body. All he was able to say to the driver was, he thought that something awful was going to happen to him. He became unconscious and passed away in a short time. He leaves a wife and 3 little children* - a boy (Harold) 4 years old and two daughters (Thelma & June) younger. He was a son of Henry Varner who still lives and is father of a large family.

Hetrick some time prior to their marriage, and have been members of the Johnstown (Trinity) class ever since. The funeral services were very largely attended. Many were out on the pavement who could not gain admittance to the Trinity church, where the services were held, on account of the lack of standing room. Bros. J. O. A.

Noted events in his life were: * Biography Biographical & Portrait Cyclopedia of Cambria County Pennsylvania, p.204 ALBERT B. PETRIKIN, a merchant and business man, of Johnstown, and a well-known citizen of the county, is a son of Thomas J. and Martha (Park) Petrikin, and was born at St. Clairsville, Bedford county, Pennsylvania, August 11, 1838. He is in the third generation from his old-world ancestor, who was a native of Scotland, and who built the second cabin in Centre county, where he died at Bellefonte. This Scotch-Irish immigrant reared a family of useful and distinguished sons in his Centre county home. William A. was president of the Lycoming Insurance company; Dr. David was a member of congress during Jackson's administration; Henry, the first white child born at Bellefonte, Centre county, served as Secretary of State under Governor Shank, James was an able lawyer, of Central Pennsylvania; Thomas J., the father of the subject of this sketch, became prominent as an editor and educator. Thomas J. Petrikin was born July 4, 1801, at Bellefonte, Centre county, where he received a good education, and became editor of the Bellefonte Gazette, which he made a power in the State for the election of Jackson. He battled bravely for Jackson and his policy as President, and supported the Democratic party up to 1856, when he turned to the Republican party, then just on the political stage. Although “born and cradled a democrat,” the issues of the new party set him firmly on the “rock of republicanism,” where he remained until his death, at Johnstown, 1881. He was a fine writer, being employed on different papers, and his articles were read throughout the State. He taught in Bedford county for several years, but after coming to Johnstown, in 1859, retired from teaching. He was a practical printer as well as an efficient editor, and ex-governor Packer served his apprenticeship as a printer under him. Mr. Petrikin married Martha Park, who lived to reach her sixty-fifth year, dying in 1881. She was a methodist, and her father, David Park, a native of Scotland, was in his day one of the largest wholesale grocers of Philadelphia. His marriage resulted in the birth of the following children: William, Henry, and James, now deceased, who both served in the Civil War; Martha and Lucy, both deceased; David, who has been in the employ of the Cambria Iron company for thirty years, is now a master mechanic, and has charge of the rolling machinery, and Albert B., the subject of this sketch. Albert B. Petrikin was principally reared in Bedford county and Johnstown, and received but ten months' schooling, often studying his lessons at night by the light of a pine knot. At an early age he became a clerk in the large mercantile house of When & Walters, with whom he remained until 1861. In that year he was appointed assistant-postmaster of Johnstown under J. E. Chandler, and served for four years. He then was railroad mail agent between Altoona and Pittsburg for five months, and at the end of that time became a salesman in Wood, Morrell & company's establishment, where he remained until 1881. That year saw him and Nathan Miller as partners in a grocery house, which was washed out in the flood of 1889. When the city straightened up he opened his present grocery house, where he has a well-selected stock of goods, and a first-class and growing patronage. On August 3, 1884, Mr. Petrikin married Mrs. Frances S. Long, a daughter of Jonathan Horner. He has four children: Edna L., Irene, Bruce and Byron and three step-children, Elfra, Jennie and James Long. In politics Albert B. Petriken is a republican. He has been a member of Alma Lodge, No. 523, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, since 1864, and has held active membership in Cambria Lodge, No. 278, Free and Accepted Masons, for twenty-four years. Mr. Petriken, since early years, has been the architect of his own fortune, and that his history is the record of a busy and useful life is apparent at a glance. His aim in life is clearly mirrored in successful results, and the many obstacles that he has overcome but attest his business capacity and reveal the persistent genius peculiar to the Scotch-Irish race, of which he is a worthy member. * Soundex: 1910, Johnstown, Cambria Co, Pa.

Noted events in his life were: * Biography Henry Wilson Storey's History of Cambria County, V.III, p.251 GEORGE ALBERT WATERS, superintendent and general manager of the National Radiator Works of Johnstown, is a native of Davidsville, Somerset county, Pennsylvania, and was born on the 10th day of June, 1856. He gained his early education in common and public schools, and at the age of seventeen years started out to make his own way in business life. He then came to Johnstown to find work, and for three years was employed in James McConaghey's tannery, for the next few months at the A. J. Haws Brick Works, and afterward for about a year in the Gautier Wire Mill. Having worked about five years at these various occupations and having accumulated a little money, Mr. Waters went west and visited Iowa, but returned after about six months and found work as a stationary engineer at the Gautier Works, where he was employed for about seven years. After that he became a partner in the firm of Vivis & Waters, and carried on an upholstery business in Johnstown nearly a year. Still later he was associated for ten years with his brothers, who comprised the firm of John H. Water & Bros., and carried on an extensive business in manufacturing and dealing in heating apparatus, and after leaving that firm he was for two years in the same general line with Smith & Flynn. He then returned to his brothers' works, which then had become known as the National Radiator Works, and which now is one of the leading industries of its kind in the country. Since about 1900 Mr. Waters has been connected with the National Radiator Works, and his present office is that of superintendent and general manager, which implies that the affairs of management and operation of the company's extensive plant are largely under his direction. The National Radiator Company is one of the largest concerns in its special line of manufacture in the country, and is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific in trade circles. The other officers of the company are Samuel B. Waters, president, and John H. Waters, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Waters is a member of the Order of Heptasophs, attends the Methodist Episcopal church, and in politics inclines to the Democracy. He is a busy man, and finds little time to occupy his attention with outside matters, although he is interested in public affairs and the social side of life in the city of Johnstown. On the 29th of April, 1881, George A. Waters married Eva B. Horner, a daughter of Jacob C. and Mary Ann (Shaffer) Horner.
