Primitive Methodist Church - Morris Run

davis_jr — 2013-02-15 02:28:58Z

Does anyone know where I can find the Primitive Methodist Church - Morris Run records. They were in existance at least between about 1869/70 and 1953. Does any local know an old member who might know something about this? Their church building has belonged to the Calvary Mennonite Fellowship for the last 50 years. Maybe the Methodists moved to another town or closed or changed denominations. Maybe their records are in someone's garage or at some archives or got tossed out. I want to find info on ABERNETHY and LIPSEY members in the 1870's who supposedly belonged to that church.

ABERNATHY/ABERNETHY/LIPSEY in Tioga Co., PA -1870's

davis_jr — 2013-02-11 00:58:40Z

Looking for info on George LIPSEY 1850- and Elizabeth ABERNATHY 1852- and other LIPSEY’s and ABERNATHY’s in Tioga County, PA especially near Morris Run in the 1870’s. Children were Thomas 1872, John 1874, Margaret 1877, Elizabeth 1880, Georgina 1883. Thomas probably was born in Morris Run.

I believe they came from Scotland about 1872 and were in Clearfield Co., PA by 1880. The may have been members of the Methodist Church. Does anyone know if the Primitive Methodist Church records still exist and how I can search them or get someone to search them for me?

Re: ancestor search

aubrieentwood — 2012-12-07 19:09:59Z

The Wellingtons would have been related like this:
Ida F. (Wilkey) Hubbard and Benjamin Hubbard's daughter was Gladys Francis (Hubbard) Van Kurin Wellington. She was first married to Glen Van Kurin on 11/2/1923 and then married to James Walker Wellington on 9/28/35. Gladys' daughter, Evelyn (Welllington) Gridley is my paternal grandmother. So, I guess you and I are distantly related!

Objet : E.H. Latimer - which church

Georges57 — 2012-11-29 07:23:03Z

Google for "rev eh latimer" and see entry in "Official Journal and Minutes of the Genesee Conference" the Rev Ebinezer Latimer has a son, the Rev E H Latimer, hence my guess is Methodist Episcopal. You might also try http://www.joycetice.com for the history of Brandford and Tioga Counties, PA. My interest in E H Latimer is that he taught school where my great grandfather attended in the winter of 1868-69. Based on a school reunion I believe my Professor E H Latimer and your Rev E H Latimer are one and the same. All the best in your search.

I have all the info on Jack King shown below. i'm trying to find out his exact birth date, death date, parent's names & his whereabouts after leaving my grandmother in 1921, and where he died. He was going to Florida when he left my grandmother. Don't know anything about him after that. My grandmother called herself "widowed", but they never divorced or had any contact after he left her. His name on my father's birth certificate is Jack. I have looked for John also thinking Jack was his nickname.

Looking for info on my grandfather, Jack L. King. Only info I have is from my father's birth certificate that says he was born in Westfield, Tioga Co., Penna. ( assuming around 1894 or 1895). He married my grandmother Mabel Fredenburg in Ridgway, Pa and they had their first son in 1919 in Ridgway. The 1920 census shows them in Ridgway as age 25 at that time. I've called the Tioga Co. courthouse and contacted the Historical Society both, of which, had no record of him or of his family in that area. Can anyone help or suggestions as to where I go from here?

Re: Family History search

mikebrown36 — 2012-10-02 01:35:56Z

I've found online an obituary for your great grandmother Dora M. Dailey Shellman.

It states that Dora May Shellman was born July 19,1870 in Farmington the daughter of James and Dimmus French Dailey.

The obituary says her husband Jerome Shellman survives her.Some children were mentioned.

This obituary was in a March 19,1947 paper.

You mentioned above that John Shellman married Mary Tuttle.This couple is probably the same parents of my wife's ancestor Francelia Shellman Hyde.

Francelia married George H. Hyde.George's parents and sisters lived in Tioga County.George and Francelia however moved to Corning,Steuben,New York.

Francelia did have a brother Jerome Shellman survive her.She died in 1940.

Hope this helps.

He married Almyra E HUTCHINS 17 Sep 1857
He married Rosella BUSH (nee HENRY) 5 Dec 1871
Deaths of his first 2 wives
Almyra (or Almira?) died 23 Oct 1871
Rosella died 24 Dec 1874

Birth of his children (all but Jesse were born to Almyra)
Charles Z was born 6 Nov 1860

Check out this link. Joyce Tice has an amazing website on Tioga County, PA (and more) history. This is the link for a 1932 Wellsboro Gazette article on Morris Run, which is up the road from Blossburg. There was a Swedish Lutheran Church is Morris Run as of the 1932 article, and today the Siloa Lutheran Church is at Water and Main Streets Morris Run, PA. Population of Morris Run in the 2010 census was 295.

Hope this helps with your research.

I am also looking for information on "D" Cloos. I believe her to be of American Indian decent. There has always been rumors in the family of American Indian decent through her side and she wouldn't speak of it because they considered it an "interracial" marriage and were embarrassed by it. Her answer was "you dont need to concern your self" with this. By the dark red skin color all of her decendents carry its obvious there is some Indian blood in there. Can you help me?

Mertella Isaacson & Harold L. Machmer Wedding

sspaulding816 — 2012-07-05 13:44:10Z

Pretty Wedding at Blossburg Church
Miss Isaacson Bride of Harold L. Machmer
Before an altar decked with white chrysanthemums and candelabra at the Swedish Lutheran Church, Morris Run, a pretty wedding was solemnized Saturday, Nov. 25, 1950, at 2 p.m. when Miss Mertella Isaacson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Isaacson, Blossburg RD 1, became the bride of Harold L. Machmer, son of Mrs. Mabel Machmer and the late Frederick Machmer of Canton RD2. The Rev. E. E. Cedar officiated at a double ring ceremony. Mrs. Anna Watkins of Morris Run presented a half hour recital of wedding music preceding the ceremony. The Misses Jean and Mary Elizabeth Sterling of Morris Run sang. The bride was attired in a gown of white satin, featuring a high neckline with a double pointed collar, fitted bodice, long sleeves pointed at the wrists, satin covered buttons to the waistline, full skirt terminating in an aisle wide train. Her fingertip veil of French illusion was attached to a white satin band of seed pearls. She carried a white prayer book topped with a single white orchid with matching satin streamers. Maid-of-honor for the bride was her sister, Mrs. Stanley Bombaski of Morris Run. She was attired in a copper colored taffeta gown, low neckline, matching mitts, green hat and a green muff of pompoms. David Machmer of Blossburg was best man for his brother. Ushers were Gilbert Anderson of Morris Run and Stanley Bombaski of Morris Run. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the Swedish Hall, Morris Run, for 150 guests. The bride is a graduate of Morris Run High School and is employed as clerk in the office of J. P. Ward’s Foundry, Inc. Mr. Machmer, a graduate of Canton High School, is employed at J. P. Ward Foundry. Pre-nuptial affairs were a shower given by Mrs. Pearl Lee and Miss Rita Mays and a shower by Mrs. David Machmer of Blossburg. The couple plan to reside in Blossburg.

Blossburg for Swedish people

conraddoris1 — 2012-05-24 00:11:13Z

In 1883 my husband's grandparents went to Blossburg from Sweden with six children, Their stay in Blossburg ended in 1886 when they moved to Rhode Island. One child was born in Blossburg, Henning Albin Fahlman, 15 July 1884. Mr Fahlman was a carpenter in Pontiac RI until his retirement.
Wondering what sort of work was available in Blossburg and if there was a Swedish community that attracted them to that place. The grandparents were Lars Peter Fahlman and Anna Carlotta Ek. Dedicated Lutherans.
