early vital records are few and far between in Pennsylvania.

1974 Newspaper Clipping from Curwensville,
Clearfield County
This clipping has been in my files for quite a while. I am embarrassed that I have no idea who originally sent it to me. Usually I write things like that on the back of that paper. It must have been one of my earlier subscribers. If you sent it to me, please let me know so that I can give you credit for this. If anyone has a photo of the marker for Nancy Clover or the VFW marker, please send it to me. If you go to www.mapquest.com and put the address 100 State St. Curwensville, PA into the line, you will see that Paul's land was on the bend of the river. I think it is interesting to have the modern address if you are thinking of visiting the area. I have been unable to discover if there are any stones in this burial ground besides that of Nancy Clover. I suspect that there are not. The VFW post is no longer there so I am not sure where the burial ground was but they mention River Street.
The Progress, Clearfield, Curwensville, Philipsburg, Moshannon Valley, Pennsylvania, Tuesday March 1, 1983.
As you approach Curwensville from Clearfield on Route 879, one of the first places you see, prominent at a point where three traffic routes intersect is a big gray frame building. Munchak Heating Co. is at the 100 State St. Address now. Before that it was Sandri Supply. But long before that, there was a blacksmith shop there, and Paul Clover was the man in charge.
He and his wife raised a family in this area in the late 1700s and a daughter Nancy is the first white settler burried in the Curwensville area. the marker on a plot of ground adjacent to the Curwensville VFW Post on River Street, is her final resting place.
According to the Curwensville, Pike Township Historical Association, the burial ground near the VFW was first a place where the Shawnees, a sub tribe of the Leni-Lenape Indians of Algonquin stock, who inhabited Clearfield County at that time, placed their dead.
Irene Risher, treasurer, past president, and charter member of the historical association, says the Shawnees are believed to have had a settlement near the present VFW Post home on River Street, where Anderson Creek and the Susquehanna River join.
The Indians always buried their dead close to home, she says, hence the location of the burial ground on River Street.
The marker on the VFW grounds was the starting point of Curwensville 175th Anniversary celebration in 1974. It was erected specifically because the celebrations and services opening the week long events were held near Nancy Clover's headstone.
The history of the Clover family in this area begins, historical records show, with the settling of Paul Clover in Pike Township [not formed until 1813] in 1797. Not much is known of him except that he operated a blacksmith shop near the borough line.
His daughter Nancy was buried at the plot near the VFW in 1804. Her father joined her there in 1821.[sic-1812]
There are no records to show that any burials took place there after the latter date. Resting in historical togetherness with the Indians at the River Street spot are a number of folks prominent inthe early life of Curwensville. Folks with names such as John Wrigley, Michael Shane, Samuel ross, Caleb Bailey's son, Mrs. Thomas Rowles, and Susanna and Rachel Bloom, children of William Bloom and the children of Peter Clover, who records indicate was a brother of Paul Clover.[Sic]
The burial plot was 120 feet square and a deed for it was made in 1838. When the VFW on 8 May 1946, purchased the ground for their post home at the corner of Meadow and River Streets, they received not only the land, but an extra historical bonus, the burial plot.
The VFW Auxiliary placed the marker on the grounds 14 July 1974, tying together yet another piece of fascinating Curwensville history.
