Descendants of Josiah Clawson
Generation 1
1.
JOSIAH1 CLAWSON was born before 1745 in Scotland. He died before 1781 in Tyrone Township,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He married ? ?.
Notes for Josiah Clawson:
Presently, I can only trace the Clawson branch to about the middle of the eighteenth century. The
earliest Clawson I can trace is a Josiah Clawson who was on the tax list in 1763 for Tyrone
Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. From several different sources, there were 5
Clawson brothers. Two of them, Richard and Peter Clawson fought for the colonists in the
Revolutionary War as members of the Cumberland County militia. Also in the early 1780's, Peter
and Richard can be found in the tax records for Tyrone Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania as well as a widow Clawson. Tyrone Township is now a part of Perry County,
Pennsylvania. This, I assume. means that Josiah Clawson has died. After this time, some or all of
the five brothers moved to Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. About this time according to family
lore, these brothers got into some type of argument and the 5 brothers went to four different areas
of the state. When this argument occurred, it was also told from family lore that the brothers
changed the spellings of the last name as a final statement in this disagreement. This is probably
how the different spellings of the last name occurred. The spellings that have existed were
Clawson (supposedly the original spelling), Closson (still exists today), Clossin, and a few other
variations.
Richard and Josiah Clawson moved to Indiana County, Pennsylvania in the Blacklick Township
area. These two brothers were in the same area according to the tax and census records, their
farms were near to each other. From tax records, they must have moved into Indiana County
before 1807. Peter remained in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and it is believed he was poor
from the legal records that exist for him. The members of this branch largely spelled their last
name Closson. There is a Peter who had lived in Washington Township, Westmoreland County,
Pennsylvania around 1800 and it is now determined that he is not directly related to the Clawsons
mentioned above even though some of his descendants appeared in other parts of my family tree.
Daniel may be a brother to Peter, Richard, and Josiah but may also be a nephew to another
brother not yet found. There is also a John Clawson married to Elizabeth Wincher who I have a
similar problem. Is he a brother or a nephew to Peter, Richard, and Josiah? I have them listed as
brothers since this is what most researchers believe. Daniel and John eventually made their way
to Indiana County where Daniel went to Blacklick Township and John went to Conemaugh
Township.
Another interesting item is there was a Josiah Clawson who married Margaret Buckalew in New
Jersey and they were both born and grew up in New Jersey. According to the Buckalew
Association website, they had at least two children named Peter and Richard. Also from some
research done by others on the Clawsons as well as on the LDS website, they also have Josiah
marrying Margaret Buckalew. Josiah's parents were Thomas and Anne Clawson. Thomas'
parents were William and Mary Clawson. These families can be traced to a Claus Cornelius Van
Schouw who came to America in the mid-1600's from the Netherlands. In 2009, I submitted a DNA
sample for genealogical purposes. The results were compared to several members from the Van
Schouw line and there is no connection between my Clawson line and the Van Schouw line. In
comparing my DNA to different databases, my ancestors were Eastern European and/or
Scandinavian. My DNA is similar to the populations in Latvia, Russia, Poland, and Norway. This
fits into a Haplogroup of R1a1.
If my Clawson ancestors were of Scottish heritage and with the DNA results mentioned previously
along with some general genealogical data of the Clawson name in Scotland, the Clawson family is
of Viking descent. They may have come from the Orkneys (Islands). If one looks at the spelling
variation of Closson, this is a further variation of the surname Clouston. The Clouston family is an
old family that settled in the Orkneys around 1000 AD from Norway and had ties into the
Norwegian monarchy. Around 1400, the Orkneys were given by Norway to Scotland and these
people from the Orkneys intermixed with the native Scots. As of now, I haven't found anyone from
the Clouston family who has submitted to a DNA test.

Generation 1 (con't)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Something that may pan out is I have been talking a little bit with David Keswick, a member of the
Clawson tree. He is a college professor in Michigan. He thinks that the Clawsons are from the
Pitlochry and Perthshire region of Scotland. The Donaheys and the Fergusons are from around
this area. He thinks that the Clawsons settled in Indiana County with other people from the area in
Scotland that they lived. David has some friends in that area of Scotland who are trying to confirm
this. The Clawsons in that area are orginally from Scandanavia (possibly Viking or maybe
Norwegian) and they moved to Scotland near or before 1000 AD. Also, the Clawsons in Scotland
were not affiliated with any of the clans, according to David.
Also, I came across a website that would sell you your family history to you for $20 (A 1700 word
write-up.). They had two listings for Clawson from the British Isles. The Clawsons from Scotland
that they would supply were from Norway and originally landed in the Orkney Islands at the
northern tip of Scotland around 1000 AD. I haven't bought it so I don't know what else it has. But
maybe there could be something here.
The website is: www.traceit.com.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tyrone Township is now part of Perry County, Pennsylvania.
His name could be Josiah or John. There is a tax record for Josiah Clawson that is from 1763 for
Tyrone Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
At this time, I am not sure that Daniel and John are sons of this person. They are probably related
to him some way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is from the Quarter Session Docket 4, 1768-1772 for Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

Notes for Richard Clawson:
Richard was a member of the Fifth Company, Fifth Battalion of Cumberland County Militia,
returned July 31, 1780.
According to the tax records of Tyrone Township, Cumberland County (now Perry County),
Pennsylvania, Richard paid taxes in 1781, 1782, and 1785. He is listed as a Freeman in 1781, and
is listed in 1782 as having one horse.
In 1788, Richard was on the tax records for Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.

years old, 4 males under 16 years old, and 3 females.
In 1798, Richard was on the tax records for Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.
Generation 2 (con't)
For the 1807 tax record for Blacklick Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Richard is listed as
a farmer.
According to the 1810 and 1820 censuses, Richard was living in Blacklick Township, Indiana
County, Pennsylvania.
According to Clawson folklore, 5 brothers came to the U.S. and it was believed they came from
England. In the last 10 to 15 years, it is now believed that they came from Scotland. Anyway, after
they came here, there was a big argument and the 4 of the brothers went different ways and
moved to different parts of the Pennsylvania. When they did, each one changed the spelling of
their last name. Supposedly, Richard kept the original spelling. It appears that Richard and Josiah
stayed together and moved to Indiana County. It appears that Peter, James, and Alexander
appeared to stay in the Blair and Huntingdon Counties of Pennsylvania. Similar stories are told in
other distant portions of the Clawson tree.
The name Clawson was probably not the name of the ancestors who lived in Scotland. The name
might have been changed since there was a war going on in England at the time they migrated and
they wanted to protect themselves in case someone would try to track them. There was a program
on the History Channel about Scottish clans. At the time that Richard Clawson would have come
to America, the English were doing an ethnic cleansing of the Highland Scottish Clans since they
were loyal to the Stuarts (Stewarts) who were trying to take back the throne of England from King
George I. The Clawson ancestors maybe were part of these clans who were being eradicated by
the English. Many thousands of Scots fled to U.S., Canada, and Australia during this time. The
clans who were being eradicated were in allegiance to the McDonalds.
The Clawson brothers originally were living in the Tyrone Township, Cumberland County (now
Perry County) area of Pennsylvania at the time of the Revolutionary War. Later they moved to the
Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania where the supposed argument occurred. Records are available
that Richard and Peter fought for the colonists in the Revolutionary War.

CLAWSON. The Clawson Family of Indiana county has been settled here for over a century, and
its members in every generation have been respected and useful citizens, a credit to the
community and to the honored name they bear.
Benjamin Clawson, the first of the family in this part of the State, was born Aug. 27, 1781, in
Huntingdon county, Pa., son Richard and Sarah (Mitchell) Clawson. He grew to manhood there,
and came to western Pennsylvania when a young man, about the close of the eighteenth century,
crossing the Alleghenies and making a settlement in what is now Blacklick township, Indiana
county, then, however, a part of Westmoreland county. He became the owner of a large tract of
land in what was a that time a wilderness, and experienced the various phases of pioneer life. He
engaged in general farming and made what improvements he could upon his land, residing there
until his death, which occurred when he was past eighty years of age. He is buried in Hopewell
Church cemetery in Blacklick township. Mr. Clawson was twice married, the first time Feb. 21,
1811, to Mrs. Mary (Donahey) Lowers, widow of Robert Lowers, by which union there were six
children, born as follows: Richard B., Dec. 15, 1811; Mary, Nov. 16, 1814 (married Samuel

Generation 3 (con't)
Richard B. Clawson, eldest son of Benjamin and Mary Clawson, was born Dec. 15,1811. What
education he received was obtained in the subscription schools then conducted, but for only a few
months in the year. He grew to manhood I the township of his birth, and like his father made
farming his occupation, his industrious and frugal habits enabling him to add to his possessions
until he was on e of the largest land owners in this part of the county, having upward of a thousand
acres, part of which was in Green township. There his daughters and sons-in-laws settled. He
spent all his life in Blacklick township, dying there in June, 1896, and was buried in the family plot
in Hopewell cemetery. He was a member of the Hopewell M. E. Church, and in political belief a
Democrat. On Dec. 15, 1831, Mr. Clawson was married to Rachel Davis, whose ancestors were
natives of New England. She died in July, 1897, in Blacklick township, and is buried in Hopewell
cemetery. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Clawson: Benjamin, born July 11, 1833, is

local public schools. Working with his father, who owned and operated over six hundred acres at
that time, he became thoroughly familiar with farm work and management, and after starting out for
himself became the owner of a tract of ? acres. He followed stock raising as well as general
farming, and made extensive improvements upon his property during hi active years, working hard
and prospering deservedly. His well-directed labors and intelligent attention to all the details of his
work placed him among the foremost farmers of his township, and few of its citizens have been
more thoroughly respected for substantial worth and useful lives. In the last few years he ahs
given up arduous work, enjoying the fruits of his early industry in comfortable retirement. He has
never taken any part in the public affairs of his locality, supporting the Democratic party but not
associating himself with any of its activities. However, he has been a leading member and worker
of the Hopewell M. E. Church, at present serving as trustee and superintendent of the Sunday
school.
On Oct. 12, 1897, Mr. Clawson was united in marriage with Caroline Ferguson, a native of
Blacklick township, daughter of Elliott and Hulda (Clawson) Ferguson. They have had one child,
Anna Mary, born July 16, 1898, who graduated from the township school in 1912, and is now,
attending high school at Blairsville. Mrs. Clawson is also a member of the Hopewell M. E. Church.
She is noted in the neighborhood for her generous disposition and whole-souled nature, her good
deeds and kindliness making her generally beloved. Besides looking after her own family she
cares for two children of her deceased sister.
Gere Clawson, younger brother of Benjamin Clawson, was born July 31, 1847 on the Clawson
homestead, and received a public school education. He worked with his father until he reached
manhood. And when he commenced farming on his who account settled on a 300-acre tract near
Hopewell Church. Though he died in his early prime, Nov. 22. 1885, he had made remarkable
progress and was a prosperous farmer and stock raiser. Besides the place already mentioned, he
owned a second place of 150 acres on Steward's run, known as the Sutton farm, which he bought,
and which is now owned and operated his son Boyd. Mr. Clawson is interred in Hopewell
cemetery. He took no part in politics, though an interested member of the Democratic party, but he
was an earnest member of the Hopewell M. E. Church and a leader in all its activities, serving as
class leader and steward. He was a man of the highest moral character and strict integrity,
temperate in all his habits, and noted for his fidelity to every obligation. He married Feb. 26, 1874
at Livermore, Pa., Margaret Ellen Long, daughter of Jesse M. and Sarah (Smith) Long, and they
became the parents of six children, namely: Boyd is mentioned below; Benjamin Milton, born Nov.
14, 1876, is a farmer of Blacklick township; Jesse Knox, born Jan 10, 1879, is a farmer of Blacklick
township; George, born March 3, 1881, is a farmer in that township; Cynthia Augusta, born Nov. 4,
1882, married Wesley Cover; Rachel, born Aug. 14, 1884, is the wife of David Creamer. After the
death of Mr. Clawson his widow married Charles Creamer, son of Thompson Creamer, and by that
marriage had four children, born as follows: Zora, Nov. 13, 1890; William Kebler, Feb. 5, 1892,
Sarah Ann, April 16,1894: Mabel, Nov. 5, 1895.
Generation 3 (con't)
Boyd Clawson, son of Gere and Margaret Ellen (long) Clawson, was born on the homestead Dec.
3, 1874, and attended public school in the home locality. When his father died he was but eleven
years old, and he continued to live on the farm with his other until he reached the age of
seventeen, when he went to the home of his uncle Benjamin Clawson, on Steward's tun in
Blacklick township, passing the next three years there. Then married and settled on the Sutton
farm, tract of 10 acres which his father had bought and there he has had his home for the last
eighteen years. In addition to general farming he has engaged in stock raiding to some extent, and
since 1904 has been extensively interested in dairying, shipping his milk to Pittsburg. He built a
silo and has other modern arrangements for giving his stock proper care, having a fine herd of
Holstein which have proved very profitable. Mr. Clawson is up to date in his work, as the
successful dairyman of today must be, and his thrift and careful detail of his surroundings. He is a
good citizen, interesting himself in the general welfare, has served his township as school director
for five years, and is a valued member of the Presbyterian Church in which he has served as
trustee for fifteen years. In politics he is a Republican, present favoring Progressive principles.
On Dec. 20, 1894, Mr. Clawson married Mary Alice Fritz, a native of Blacklick township, daughter

SYLVESTER ERMINE,
a resident of near Tipton, and one of the old and substantial farmers of
Blair county, is the sixth child and third son of George and Sabina (Devlin)
Ermine, and was born in Sinking valley, Blair county, Pennsylvania, February
22, 1820. George Ermine was a resident for many years of Sinking valley, in
which he died at the advanced age of eighty-one years in 1866. He learned,
in early life, the trade of blacksmith, which he followed to some extent, but
gave the most of his time to farming, in which he took considerable
interest. He was Jacksonian democrat in politics, and had been for many
years before his death a consistent and useful member of the Catholic
church. He married Sabina Devlin, a native of Sinking valley, and who died
in 1863, when in the seventy-fifth year of her age. To them were born ten
children, six sons and four daughters: John, Maria, Eleanor, Lucy A.,
Matthew, Sylvester, George, Aaron, Catherine A., and Martine D. These
children are all dead except Sylvester, the subject of this sketch, and
George, who is engaged in farming in Sinking valley.
Sylvester Ermine grew to manhood in Sinking valley, and was carefully
trained in all of the operations and details of farming. He received his
education in the last old subscription and the first of the common schools,
and commenced life for himself as a teamster at Allegheny furnace. In a
short time he left teaming to remove near Fostoria, where he was engaged in
farming until 1865, when he purchased his present farm near Tipton. His
farm, which lays well and is very productive, consists of one hundred and
thirty-three acres of well improved land.
Sylvester Ermine married Eleanor Harrison, and to their union were born
eight children, four sons and four daughters: John H., who married Nancy
McFarland, and is a butcher and stock speculator at Tyrone; Alice Emma,
deceased: Thomas F., a teamster at Tyrone, who married Mary Glasgow; Lulu
wife of William Fuoss, a miller of near Tyrone; Irene, now dead: W. Murray
of Bellwood, married Bertha B. Reilly, and is a trainmaster on the
Pennsylvania & Northwestern railroad; Florence E., and George S. Mrs.
Eleanor Ermine is a daughter of Jerome and a granddaughter of Capt. John
Harrison, the latter of whom was a native of Philadelphia, and became a
pioneer settler of Logan valley, where he owned several large tracts of
land. He was a whig and married and reared a family of eight children:
James, Jerome, John, Hamilton, Mary, Elizabeth, Rachel, and Lucy. Jerome
Harrison (father of Mrs. Ermine) was born in 1812 in Philadelphia, where he
was reared and educated. He came with his father to Blair county, but soon
returned Philadelphia, where he learned the trade of coachmaker, after which
he returned to Blair county and settled near Birmingham. He was an old-line
whig, followed coachmaking, and was for many years a deacon in the Methodist
Episcopal church. He was twice married. His first wife was Nancy Stephens,
by whom he had three children: Thomas, Eleanor, and Alice. By his second
wife, Margaret Clawson, daughter of Josiah Clawson, he had one child
Sylvester.
Sylvester Ermine is a democrat in politics, and has cast his ballot for
all the democratic candidates for president from James K. Polk, in 1844, down
to Grover Cleveland, in 1888.
Thomas Harrison served in the Mexican war, and has for the past
twenty-eight years been located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Alaska, in the

Notes for John B. Clawson:
Generation 3 (con't)
Notes for John B. Clawson:
Accoriding to the 1850 census, John and his family were living in Young Township, Indiana County,
Pennsylvania.
John was killed in Blairsville in 1868 when a train hit his buggy. He was coming home from Indiana
where he was just sworn in as a deputy sheriff. He was hit by the Emigrant Train on the
Pennsylvania Rail Road. John died of injuries within an half an hour after the accident.
According to the 1850 census, John and his family lived in Conemaugh Township, Indiana County,
Pennsylvania.
According to the 1860 census, John and his family lived in Young Township, Indiana County,
Pennsylvania.
Killed (Blairsville Press, March 27, 1868)
On Monday evening last, John Clawson, more familiarly know as 'Pepper John' of West Wheatfield
township, was killed by being struck by the engine of the emigrant train near Blairsville Intersection.
Mr. Clawson had been to Indiana during the day, and was sworn in as a constable for West
Wheatfield township. He was on his return home, and by some means missed the accommodation
train and undertook to walk from the Intersection, where he had eaten his supper and drank a glass
of ale - so said, if not worse and more of it, as it is sold in that vicinity in any quantity in violation of
the law - which was the last seen of him alive. We are told that the engineer of the train said, that
on turning a curve about a mile east of the Intersection, he saw a man sitting on a tie a short
distance ahead with his elbow on the rail. He pulled the whistle to put down the brakes, but the
distance was too short to stop the train. When the engine whistled, Clawson merely turned his
head, and appeared to be in too indifferent a condition to move. After the engine struck him the
train was stopped and the injured man taken up and brought to this place, but he died on the road.
The body was badly crushed. It was taken back to Westmoreland county for inquest. We have
had an unusual number of such cases during the past year, and yet nothing is done to bring to
punishment those men who violate the law every day by dealing out the poison which is the cause
of it all. Oh, no! they are respectable men, and have large sums of money invested in property,
and it must be protected, though for every brick, nail or foot of timber which their property contains,
a human being should be destroyed. We relish this kind of justice and protection. Protect a
number of men in idleness though a whole community suffers thereby. "Oh, shame, where is thy
blush."

John Clawson of West Wheatfield Township, Indiana County., was run over by the Emigrant train

Killed (Blairsville Press, March 27, 1868)
On Monday evening last, John Clawson, more familiarly know as 'Pepper John' of West Wheatfield
township, was killed by being struck by the engine of the emigrant train near Blairsville Intersection.
Mr. Clawson had been to Indiana during the day, and was sworn in as a constable for West
Wheatfield township. He was on his return home, and by some means missed the accommodation
train and undertook to walk from the Intersection, where he had eaten his supper and drank a glass
of ale - so said, if not worse and more of it, as it is sold in that vicinity in any quantity in violation of
the law - which was the last seen of him alive. We are told that the engineer of the train said, that
on turning a curve about a mile east of the Intersection, he saw a man sitting on a tie a short
distance ahead with his elbow on the rail. He pulled the whistle to put down the brakes, but the
distance was too short to stop the train. When the engine whistled, Clawson merely turned his
head, and appeared to be in too indifferent a condition to move. After the engine struck him the
train was stopped and the injured man taken up and brought to this place, but he died on the road.
The body was badly crushed. It was taken back to Westmoreland county for inquest. We have
had an unusual number of such cases during the past year, and yet nothing is done to bring to
punishment those men who violate the law every day by dealing out the poison which is the cause
of it all. Oh, no! they are respectable men, and have large sums of money invested in property,
and it must be protected, though for every brick, nail or foot of timber which their property contains,
a human being should be destroyed. We relish this kind of justice and protection. Protect a
number of men in idleness though a whole community suffers thereby. "Oh, shame, where is thy
blush."

New Florence Man, 83, Shot Neighbor, 62
BULLETIN
Nelson B. Haire, 83, New Florence, died at Memorial Hospital shortly before 2
o'clock this afternoon. He had shot himself and slashed his wrists yesterday after he
fatally shot Clarence C. Brinker, 62, also of New Florence.
NEW FLORENCE--Receipt of a registered letter yesterday touched off a dispute of
several months' standing and resulted in the slaying of one New Florence man and
the critical wounding of another.
The dead man is Clarence C. (Red) Brinker, 62, retired employee of the
Generation 4 (con't)
The dead man is Clarence C. (Red) Brinker, 62, retired employee of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. His assailant, Nelson B. Haire, 83, is in critical condition at
Memorial Hospital, Johnstown. He is being treated for a self-inflicted gunshot
wound of the abdomen and slashes of the wrists.
Brinker was killed instantly when he was struck by three bullets from a .38-caliber
revolver. The shooting occurred at the double house here occupied by the Haire
and Brinker families.
Florence Brinker, 26, daughter of the dead man, may have saved the life of her
mother, Mrs. Bertha Brinker, 56, when she grappled with Haire when he turned
toward her mother after Mr. Brinker was shot.
Authorities said when she noted the move, she rushed between Haire and her
mother and forced the elderly man into a corner. She screamed to her mother to get
out of the house and when she had done so, Florence also fled to safety.
Went To Workshop
Officers said Haire then left the house and went to a combination workshop and
woodshed to the rear and at one side of the dwelling where he shot himself in the
abdomen.
Investigating the shooting yesterday afternoon were New Florence Police Chief
Frank J. Rehn, who lives nearby and was the first officer on the scene; Detective
Sgt. William Johnston of Troop A, Pennsylvania State Police, Greensburg, and
Merle Musick, chief detective of Westmoreland County.
Dispute Rent Agreement
In reconstructing the events leading to the shooting of Brinker, Sgt. Johnston said
he learned there had been a dispute between the families for some time over a rent
and light bill agreement. The Haires owned the house where the two families lived
and the Brinkers were their tenants.
The officer said the agreement called for the Brinker family to pay their rent plus the
light bill, less $1. Some time ago, it was reported, Brinker started to pay only half
the utility bill rather than the amount stipulated in the agreement.
Sgt. Johnson said he learned that on Tuesday Brinker slipped a check for the rent
under the door of the Haire home. It was said Brinker had paid half the light bill. The
rent check was refused by the Haires.
Sent Check In Mail
On Wednesday Brinker mailed the check to Haire by registered letter. After the
check was received in yesterday's mail, Mr. and Mrs. Haire went to the Brinker side
of the house.
Brinker was seated at a table in the living room playing solitaire. Mrs. Brinker and
Florence were in the adjoining kitchen. The officer said the two men exchanged
heated words, after which Haire shot Brinker through the left leg. The tenant stood
up and took a step whereupon two additional shots were fired. One bullet entered
Brinker's head near the corner of his right eye and the other struck his neck and
came out under the right shoulder blade.
Mrs. Brinker and her daughter went from the kitchen to the living room where
Florence tussled with Mr. Haire. After the two women fled, Haire went to the
workshop.

Chief of Police Rehn, who lives nearby, was attracted by Mrs. Brinker's screams.
He rushed to the house where he found Mr. Brinker dead. He said he then turned to
the Haire side of the house and found Mr. Haire lying on a couch. He reported that
the elderly man tried to reach for the gun lying nearby but the officer was able to
pick it up first.
Shot In Abdomen
Mr. Rehn said Haire showed him where he had shot himself in the abdomen. He
stated the wounded man kept repeating, "They forced me to do it."
The local police chief said that Mr. Haire had shot himself after he had gone to the
workshop, then made his way back to the house and lay down on the couch.
Mr. Rehn, realizing the need for assistance, went to look for help. He said while he
was out of the house the wounded man again went to the workshop where he
slashed his wrists and was about to hang himself from the rafters when Chief Rehn
returned. He said Haire was about to step off a footstool when he was rescued.
Sgt. Johnston said a safety razor blade was found in a pool of blood at the edge of
a workbench in the building. It is believed the elderly man used the blade to slash
his wrists. A hatchet nearby also was bloodstained.
Haire was removed to Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, where his condition is listed
as critical.

List Death Of 2 Men As Homicide And Suicide
No Inquest Planned In Fatal Shooting At New Florence
NEW FLORENCE -- The deaths of two New Florence men who were involved in a
shooting affray Thursday will be listed as homicide and suicide, according to
Joseph R. Check, Westmoreland County coroner. He stated that an inquest in the
case will not be necessary.
The coroner said his records will show that the death of Clarence C. Brinker, 62,
was homicide and that of Nelson B. Haire, 83, was suicide.
Mr. Brinker died instantly when he was shot during a quarrel with his landlord, Mr.
Haire. The latter died of self-inflicted wounds shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at Memorial Hospital, Johnstown.
The elderly man was admitted there about 24 hours earlier to be treated for a
gunshot wound of the abdomen and cuts of the wrists. According to police, his
injuries were sustained when he tried to take his own life after fatally shooting
Brinker, his tenant and neighbor.
Long-Standing Dispute
Authorities said the shooting occurred at a double house occupied by the Haire and
Brinker families. The Brinkers rented half the house from Mr. and Mrs. Haire. The
dispute between the two men had continued for some time over the paying of rent
and utility bills.
According to the investigating officers, Brinker originally had agreed to pay his rent
and the utility bills, less $1. Several months ago the tenant refused to pay more
than half the utility bills. Last Tuesday, Haire refused to accept a check which did

than half the utility bills. Last Tuesday, Haire refused to accept a check which did
not fulfill the original agreement.
Brinker then sent the check to his landlord by registered letter. Haire and his wife
took the letter, after it was received Thursday, to the Brinker living room. The
shooting followed a brief argument between the two men. Police said Brinker was
killed instantly when Haire fired three charges from a .38 caliber revolver into his
body.
The officers said Haire then left the Brinker home, shot himself in the abdomen,
slashed his wrists -- apparently with a safety razor blade -- and finally attempted to
hang himself.
Haire was taken to Memorial Hospital. Richard P. Wilkinson of Sidman, deputy
coroner of Cambria County, said death resulted from shock, loss of blood, and the
gunshot wound.

THE FINDING OF ANNIE BURKETT
In the Muddy Waters of the Conemaugh is Found the Gruesome Corpse of the
Suicide.
On the evening of the 10th of March last Annie Burkett, who, if she had lived until
the 16th of next November, would have arrived at the age 16 years, took her life.
The details of the story, if they were such as were proper to be made public, would
be simply a disclosure of life such as we read of frequently, but in this case with the
tragedy left out.
The dead girl had been "keeping company" with Robert Brendlinger, a man at least
five years her senior. The mother of the girl disapproved of this, and finally the
daughter confessed that improper relations had existed, and the mother sternly
insisted that the intimacy should cease. The girl was way-ward, the lover persistent
and the mother determined. On Thursday night Brendlinger accompanied the girl
home from a revival meeting going on at Lockport, Westmoreland county, where the
parties lived. He was not permitted to enter the house, and Annie was forbidden
further intercourse with him. Robert departed. The girl was enraged. The mother
locked the outer doors. Annie went to her room, changed her attire and then broke
into the room where her mother, her eldest sister, Maggie, and her youngest
brother, aged 7, were sitting, and sprang through a window, screaming as she fled;
"I will drown myself! "
The mother did not regard the threat seriously and it was not until the lapse of an
hour or two that the family became alarmed at the prolonged absence of the
favorite girl. Then a search began. The river was but a short distance away. There
were various ways of reaching the treacherous waters of the Conemaugh from the
Burkett homestead. Each one of these ways was carefully followed that night, but
not a foot track was discovered. Next day the alarm increased. The river was
dragged for a mile each way, up and down, but no bod}' was found. As the days
lengthened into weeks various rumors got abroad. It was reported that Annie had
been seen at Johnstown, Moxham, New Florence, Pittsburg and other places. The
developments of last Monday proved all these stories false. On the night she
sprang from the window of her home Annie flew to the river and threw herself into
its waters and was drowned. The rainfall of Sunday night had magnified the river
and the body of the girl was caught up by the current and carried on its surface. It
was first noticed at Cokeville, and the parties who saw it made pursuit and it was
finally brought to shore a mile below Blairsville on Monday morning. It presented a
shocking appearance after its nine-weeks' submergence in the river, but was still
recognizable. At the inquest held by Coroner M. M. Davis on Monday a brother and
mother and sister identified the remains, on which were found some cheap articles
of jewelry, a black skirt, waist and shoes and stockings. The mother and sister who,
for the past months, had lived in an agony of suspense and had used every means
of as-:ertaining the fate of the loved one, when brought to the place where the
remains were, manifested a grief hard to withstand by the little group of spectators.
The Coroner's jury, composed of F. M. Smith, J. M. Hadfield, Thomas Murray, Dr.
W. R. Miller, John Long and Robert Reed, returned a verdict of suicide, but
expressing no opinion, save that of family troubles, as to the causes leading to the
Generation 4 (con't)
expressing no opinion, save that of family troubles, as to the causes leading to the
unhappy and unfortunate ending of the young girl's life.
The remains were taken home by the mother yesterday morning and interred during
the afternoon.
The father, Mr. Samuel Burkett, has lived all his life at Lockport and for many years
has been an employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The mother's maiden
name was Clawson. She was born near Jacksonville, this county, and was a
daughter of the late James Clawson. The parents, two sisters and two brothers live
to mourn the sad end of Annie Burkett, of whom everyone who knew her had none
but kind words to speak.

A HISTORY OF BLAIR COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA
UNDER EDITORIAL SUPERVISION OF TARRING S. DAVIS
LUCILE SHENK, ASSOCIATE EDITOR
PUBLISHERS: NATIONAL HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, INC. HARRISBURG 1931
JOHN DAVID O'BRIEN, late telegrapher for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, completed
forty-six years of faithful service for that organization before his retirement in 1919. He was born in
Hollidaysburg, on Juniata Street, where members of his family still reside, on July 16, 1854. His
parents were Thomas O'Brien, one of Blair County's pioneer settlers, and Catharine Clawson
O'Brien.
Mr. O'Brien attended the schools of Blair County and one of his teachers was Miss Martha Neville,
who later attained distinction in educational and literary circles as teacher and writer. Mr. O'Brien
became a telegrapher on March 1, 1873, when nineteen years of age and entered the service of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. For ten years he was stationed at Kittanning Point on the
famous Horseshoe Bend. Later he was almost continually employed at Hollidaysburg until he
retired at the age of sixty-five years. Mr. O'Brien won
Generation 5 (con't)
retired at the age of sixty-five years. Mr. O'Brien won
the regard of his friends and fellow employees among whom he was highly esteemed. He was
extraordinarily public spirited and fulfilled the responsible positions allotted him with courage. He
performed heroic work on many occasions and on two recorded instances prevented serious
wrecks on the railroad. It is a significant fact that Mr. O'Brien never had occasion to report a fellow
employee for insubordination. He was retired almost eight years before his death in Hollidaysburg
on July 21, 1927. Mr. O'Brien was a communicant of the Roman Catholic Church, adhered to the
political principles of the Republican Party, and was a member of the Brotherhood of American
Railway Telegraphers. Although his name was suggested for public offices on several occasions
but he never aspired to such positions.
On October 25, 1883, he married Miss Elizabeth Hart at Hollidaysburg. She was a daughter of
Joseph Hart who came to the United
States from Germany when six years of age. Her father was a pioneer settler in the town and
conducted an extensive brick manufacturing business. As such he was a dominant factor in the
early development of the community. Mrs. O'Brien's mother was Barbara Smith Hart, also a native
of Germany, who came to this country at the age of twelve. Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien had three
children: Mary, who married Richard R. Baker, of Laura Brush Mountain of Pennsylvania; Joseph
W., who married Edna Nivley, of Williamsburg, assistant general superintendent of A. & P. Tea
Co., and Howard, who died in infancy.

[hollis(anc.).ftw]
Dorsey Hollis was killed by a hit and run accident. Dad used to tell the story in such
a way that it happened during prohibition. By his version Dorsey had gone to a
neighbors to sample some bathtub gin that they were making. On the way back,
drunk as a skunk, he was struck by a hit and run driver who was also supposed to
be drunk. It was a good story that illustrates how the law was flaunted druing our
dry period, but it is far from the truth. In the two accounts from the Saginaw News
the first thing to note is that the year is 1939--Prohibition ended in 1933!
Saginaw News, Wed., March 1, 1939, page 1
2 CRITICALLY HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENTS
Two Saginaw men were hurt critically early Wednesday in automobile
accidents, one apparently invovled a hit-run motorist, who is sought by Saginaw
sheriff's officers.
The victims are Dorsey D. Hollis, 55, of 2900 Williamson street, a Chevrolet
foundry foreman, and Edward W. Waterstradt, 28, of 2926 Thayer street. Both are
in grave condition at St. Mary's hospital, suffering possible skull fractures. Hollis,
believed to have lain unconscious in the road about 6 hours, suffered greatly from
exposure, his hands and feet being frozen.
Waterstradt.....
Sheriff Muehlenbeck said Hollis left home shortly after midnight to visit a
neighbor. He was found Wenesday morning by a motorist. Although the victim's
body shows no marked bursises, the sheriff believed him the victim of a hit-runner
because of broken glass found nearby. Garages are being checked for the wanted
car. The accident occurred about half a mile from the Hollis residence, near the city
limits.
That article was followed by:

HIT-RUN VICTIM DEAD OF INJURY
An autopsy Thursday indicated Dorsey H. (sic) Hollis, 55 of 2900
Williamson street, died of injuries inflicted by an automobile, Coroner William E.
Honey reported. Hollis, hands and feet frozen, was found laying in the road about
half a mile from his home Wednesday morning and died last night at St. Mary's
hospital, apparently of exposure and a skull fracture.
Sheriff Muehlenbeck said fragments of glass believed to be from an
automobile headlight, found near the scene, were sent via air mail to Washington
yesterday afternoon for identification by Federal Bureau of Investigation experts.
No trace has been found of the hit-run motorist believed responsible for
Hollis' death. Assistant Prosecutor Montgomery is investigating.

FLINT MAN TAKEN IN HIT-RUN CASE
A three-day search for a hit-run motorist whose automobile early
Wednesday struck and fatally injured Dorsey H.(sic) Hollis, 55, of 2900 Williamson
street, was believed ended Friday night with the arrest of a Flint man, now held at
Saginaw county jail pending formal complaint, likely to be made Monday.
The suspect, Paul Higgins, 27 of 45515 Carlton street, Flint, was arrrested
by Sheriff Muehlenbeck and Supt. Dale Austin of the Saginaw county identification
bureau, after it was established that he had taken his vehicle to a Flint garage for
repair of a broken headlight and a dented fender. Authorities say there is other

Some words on the trial of Paul Higgins for hit-and-run
It was in front of the Joseph Swarty farm that Dorsey was struck. The call
came to the police on the morning of March 1, 1939 about 7am.
Dorsey was found lying on ice covered ground and was completely covered
with snow. He had lain there long enough that he had melted down one inch into
the ice. In his pocket was found an envelope with his address and no other
identification at all. I speculate at this time that the envelope was his notification of
divorce filed by his wife.
He was supposed to have left home around 2:15 am to see a neighbor
named Buckner(s), yet he was found about a mile from home.
As to the trial itself it was a joke. The lawyers were the real trial with their
objections, lack of interest at reaching truth, and not being serious about justice.
Many of the witnesses took the Fifth. The testimony was contradictory without
being challenged. It was interesting that the judge did find Higgins guilty of not
giving aid!

September 21, 1956
Dear Niece and Family,
I received your lovely gift, you couldn't have gotten one anything I needed
or appreciated more. Thanks so very much.
I am very sick and have been very [sick] now for a year. I doubt if I weigh
75 lbs. I have been bedfast since June. I am almost helpless. I am with Jerry. He
takes very good care of me-my eyes [are] so bad I can hardly see so I have to have
someone to write for me.
Do you remember Jewels' wife? She has been to see me quite often.
They live in Detroit.
I hope all the family is fine and thanks again.
Love,
Aunt Ellantine
On the backside of the same letter:
Dear Madeline,
I am Jewels' wife Caroline. It's such a pity here. Aunt Ellantine has gone to
a shadow. She has cancer all through her. It started in the bladder. She has a big
lump the size of a small football between her legs. She can't eat. Uncle Jerry fixes
her breakfast early in the morning before he goes to work. She eats two slices of
French bread, cup of coffee, and that's all she eats 'till next day.
Don't mention cancer to her-she doesn't know it. I try to come up as often
as I can. I love her dearly, so if I could only do something to help her. Dr. keeps
her under dope most of the time the pain is so bad. I am having doctor out today. I
will be with her 'till Sunday.
Lots of Love to All,
Your Cousin Caroline

Indiana Evening Gazette (July 7, 1953)
By BILL HASTINGS
Gazette Staff Writer
When the 1953-54 school term opens at Green Township High this September, a
familiar personality will be missing from the institution's hallowed halls.
Miss Thankful Clawson, English and Latin teacher for 34 years at the district high
school, will be missing from the scene that has featured her guidance of more than
8,000 students in her career as an Indiana County school teacher.
The proverbial gimmick characteristic of high school teeners directing fun at their
tutor, "She (or he) has been here longer than the building," was seldom hurdled at
this affable Green Township educator simply because it was true.
When Miss Clawson launched her career at Green Township High School in the fall
of 1920, classes were held at Starford in a building now utilized as a grade school.
Construction on the new Green Township High School was completed a year later
and Thankful Clawson, then a veteran of 15 years of classroom calamity, moved
Generation 5 (con't)
and Thankful Clawson, then a veteran of 15 years of classroom calamity, moved
her texts to Commodore, site of the present building.
Her retirement this summer marked a termination, of 48 years of teaching, including
39 years in Green Township school systems. "Oh yes, I've taught quite a number of
sons and daughters of former students of mine, "jostled the amicable
silver-thatched Miss Clawson yester day, "But I don't think any grandchildren."
Closer scrutiny reveals that the retired teacher, long-time favorite as senior class
advisor at Commodore, probably taught a number of "grandchildren" during her
career which spans 53 years of County history.
When 17-year-old Thankful Clawson passed an examination at Cookport Academy
in the spring of 1900, receiving a teacher certificate as her reward, it was
undoubtedly beyond her fondest expectations of establishing some sort of record
for durability as an Indiana County school teacher.
"That first year at Grisemore (1900-01) paid $25 a month," reminisced Miss
Clawson in her Marion Center home yesterday, "But then, I only paid $50 that entire
school year.
'I was located in Dixonville the next four years and once had 119 students,
sometimes, three in one seat, in a one-room school." Miss Clawson added, "Of
course, that was when the Dixonville mines were starting."
Answering an inquiry relative to "law and order" in a one-room school house with
119 students, the friendly teacher replied, "I confess that if I kept order, I didn't do
much teaching."
Upon completion of four years at Dixonville and an additional term at Idamar,
Thankful Clawson went to Houghton Seminary, N. Y., to pursue her high school
education. She didn't receive her diploma until 1911 after leaving school for a
three-year period to teach in Rayne and Green Townships, Indiana County.
After graduating; from Houghton, Miss Clawson taught in Wisconsin four years,
attended Taylor University at Upland, Indiana, and taught at Clymer High School
before accepting a position on the Green Township High School, faculty in 1920.
The first two principals she served under at Green Township High, Donald
Patterson and Dean Siverd, were her former students. Other principals during her
34-year tenure included Mr. Fetterman, T. W. Fullerton and George Joiner.'
What about her best students at Green Township High School?
"I had so many of them," answered Miss. Clawson.
Edna Siverd, now Mrs. Jay Hiner, could read Latin as well as English. And then
were were Louise Lovick and Ed Leadbetter. Mrs. Hiner now teaches at Dixonville."
And what about her students who entered the teaching profession.
"To mention a few, there's Gertha McAnulty (Green Twp.), Mary Bagley (Green
Twp.), Evelyn Nichol, Dean Siverd (Meadville), Milton and Gaylon Walker and
Donald Patterson, former County Superintendent of Schools."
"I often wish I would have kept a record of my students," stated the soft-spoken
Miss Clawson.
It has been estimated that she taught, at a very minimum, about 8,000 students —
and this figure [wouldn't include her advisees.
Thankful Clawson, daughter of Andrew Bingham Clawson and Martha Jane Bolvin
Clawson, was born on a farm near Dixonville December 27, 1883.
Her family heritage reveals her forefathers originally settled near Black Lick before
moving to Green Township.
As for the name, Thankful, a "natural" for her students to toy with, she says:
"It's a family name. My ancestors from England, a family of Davis, handed the name
down, generation to generation. ... I believe there were seven of my ancestors with
that name. It's a Puritan name."
While teaching, she utilized the summer vacations to attend the University of
Pennsylvania and Chicago University where she received her bachelor's degree.
Three summers of study at Columbia University New York, were added to her
educational background.
Her memory is rich with experiences of 53 years of teaching, but she eyes the
transition of a one-room schoolhouse to the present, elaborate educational system
with a calculated scrutiny.
'It seems to me that everything has to be done in the school room today because of
Generation 5 (con't)
'It seems to me that everything has to be done in the school room today because of
television.' I don't mean to condemn television, entirely. I also saw the development
of radio lessen a youngster's desire to read."
In her retirement at Marion Center, Miss Clawson is going to attempt to satisfy her
affinity for reading, a life-long pleasure for her.
After 48 years in the classrooms of, Indiana County, Thankful Clawson's application
for retirement was accepted by the Purchase Line School jointure last month.
But retirement may not be easy for Miss Clawson as her love of the profession is
deep, best, told when she remarked, with a twinkle in her eye, "I liked seniors —but,
to think of it, I liked all of them."

Notes for Gertrude Pittman:
The Indiana Gazette, Indiana, Pennsylvania (September 2, 1898)
Mr. M. A. Miller, of Bolivar, and Miss Gertrude Pittman, of Brushvalley township,
were united in marriage last Thursday evening. The ceremony was performed at
the M. E. parsonage in Mechanicsburg by Rev. J. M. Cogley.
According to the 1920 Census, Gertrude and her family were living in Bolivar,
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
This write-up was believed to be written by Ruth (Warfel) Robertson:
Andrew and Hannah Pittman were parents of three children, Alphorettam, a baby
girl who died at the age of four months and seventeen days. Harry contacted
pneumonia and died at the age of nineteen. The four of them are buried in a small
cemetary located on Cemetary Road, off route 259N, near the town of Brush Valley,
Pa.
Gertrude Pittman, the surviving child of Andrew and Hannah (Pittman) Pittman,
Hannah no relation to Andrew, lived on a farm outside of Brush Valley with her
parents. The farm was large and today route 259N goes through the "cow pasture"
that belonged to the farm. The farm house is still standing with a few changes and
the barn is also there in fair condition, When Andrew and Hannah sold their farm
they moved into the town of Brush Valley. The house is located along the main
highway and directly across from a small gas station-grocery store. After Hannah
died in 1928, Andrew sold the house and went to Homewood, Pa. to live with his
daughter Gertrude.
Matthew Anderson Miller, son of Michael and Susan (Lapool) Miller, lived about two
miles past the Pittman's farm. Michael Miller ran a grist mill on his farm, his other
children were John Shields, Golden, Gladys, and Annie.
When Gertrude Pittman married Matthew Miller they moved to Bolivar, Pa., where
Matthew worked at Hammonds grist mill and lived in the house beside it. The grist
Generation 5 (con't)
Matthew worked at Hammonds grist mill and lived in the house beside it. The grist
mill was located across the creek from the old Bolivar ball field, near the railroad
arch, where the creek flows into the Conemaugh River. His brother John Shields
also worked with him. Florence (1899) and Cora (1902) Miller were born in this
house. From here the family moved to the corner of Second and Shaffer Street,
this house was later known as the Moose Lodge Home.
Andrew Pittman bought a parcel of land on Shaffer Street in Bolivar for his daughter
Gertrude, and Matthew built the family home and his own flour mill. Edna (1904)
and Gladys (1910) Miller were born here. The local farmers brought their corn and
other grains to the mill to be ground and Matthew also made flour and sold to other
customers in town.
At the beginning of every summer the Pittman Grandparent's would arrive at the
home of Gertrude and Matthew in their horse and buggy, which had a seat in back
of the driver's seat, and take Florence and Cora to the farm to spend the summer.
This was about a four hour trip which started after lunch. Edna was not well enough
to stay and Gladys was too young, but they did visit the farm with their mother at
other times. Florence and Cora did small house jobs for their grand mother and
would ride in the horse and buggy with their grandpap to take milk, butter and
cheese into Indiana (Pa.) to sell on Saturdays.
When work was slow at the grist mill Matthew started working for Ridgeview Coal
Company. While working outside doing heavy lifting he was injured and died within
two days at the age of 50. He is buried in West View Cemetary, Bolivar, Pa. One of
Cora's fond memories of her dad was his taking Florence and her on Sunday visits
to the Modesto (Mose) Bernabo farm, who sold milk to the local town people. The
farm was located half way up the ridge above the West Bolivar bridge. Also after the
girls grandmother Miller died, their grandfather Michael Miller came to live with them
until his death in 1912. He always sat in a chair beside the coal stove and slept a
lot. About eight years after Matthew died Gertrude married a former boyfriend who
had lived in Brush Valley, Daniel Donahey, and they moved to Homewood, Pa.
Daniel worked for the post office. Florence, Cora and Edna were married but
Gladys was not and was living with her mother and step-father. Gertrude had
asthma most of her life and was ill a lot of the time. She contacted pneumonia and
died in 1930. Against the girls wishes, she was buried in Homewood Cemetary. Her
daughter Edna Mae Miller Wunschell is also buried there. Four years after
Gertrude's death Daniel committed suicide using a small hand revolver and is
buried beside Gertrude in Homewood (Pa.) Cemetary.
The following is from a clipping found at the Historical Society files in Indiana, Pa.
Harry Pittman, a son of Andrew Pittman, of Brushvalley township died on Saturday
of pneumonia after an illness of a week. He was aged 19 yrs-6mo. The funeral was
held on Saturday. (4-14-1900)
