Mon Valley Census Records
Dog Owners Rostraver Twp., 1916
Sometimes, genealogy information can be found, by accident, in
the strangest forms. Below is a listing found in the Jan. 12,
1916 edition of the (Monessen) Daily Independent. The listing
was posted each Wednesday for a time. Why this was is not exactly
clear, but on the Jan 22, 1916 front page was a story that the Township
would begin to shoot unlicensed, untagged dogs beginning March 1, 1916.
It seems that they had a problem with dogs in the area at that time.
The list in the paper also showed the dog's tag number, this little tidbit
has been omitted here!
The list is divided into two sections, Rostraver,
and Monessen, First Ward.
