He related that when he was five years old the Indians cap- tured his father, mother and a little baby and himself. His father's arms were tied behind his back, and all were forced to walk. Archibald could not get along very well; the Indians would not let his father carry him; they wanted to kill him, but his mother carried him and the baby. Samuel made his escape, and the Indians followed him, when the remainder of the family secured protection.

HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
The Zephaniah Weakland Family. Zephaniah Weakland came from St. Mary's county, Maryland, and located on the Spruce creek, eight miles from Huntingdon, before the close of the Revolutionary war. John Weakland was born there in 1787. Zephaniah brought his family to Cambria county in 1808, and located near Munster, building a log cabin near the O'Hara's, east of Munster. In 1819 Zephaniah removed to Mahoning township, in Indiana county, but returned to Johns- town in 1832. Subsequently he made his home in Susquehanna township, and while there married for the third time when he was over seventy years old, and by this marriage had one or two children; he died in 1849.
John Weakland, his son, moved to Conemaugh township in 1831. and came to Johnstown in 1835; he married in 1818 and had two sons and a daughter. Ilis wife died in 1858. At the age of seventy-three he married again and had three sons by this marriage. Michael Weakland and Ellen, his wife, an only brother, and two children lived in Susquehanna town- ship. William Weakland, a brother of Zephaniah, died near Loretto in 1864, at the age of eighty-three years. Many of their descendants reside in the north of the county, especially in Carroll, Clearfield and Susquehanna townships. John Weak- land was a private in Captain Richard McGuire's company in the War of 1812.
Wissinger, Ludwick. He was born in 1756, and served under Washington in the Revolution, and came to Cambria from Frederick, Maryland. 1793. He located on a tract of land near the Dunkard church above Walnut Grove, on the Bedford road. He died about March, 1842. He had thirteen children and probably fourteen, as there were two by the name of Susannah, but they had different marriage names. He made a bequest to Susannah, intermarried with Joseph Wis- sel, and also to Susannah, who had married a Morgan. The others were: John, Catherine Wissinger-Brumbaugh, Mary Wissinger-Anderson (see John Horner), Daniel, Esther Wis- singer-Snyder, Lewis, Elizabeth Wissinger-Stutzman, David, Samuel, George, Isaac and Jacob Wissinger. Lewis Wissinger, his son, was born June 21, 1793, and died Sept. 21, 1895. About 1818 he married Barbara Strayer, who died about 1835; they had five children. Sarah married David Kauffman, of Croyle township; and Eli and John Wissinger. His second marriage

was with Margaret Lint, and they had six children: Harry, Esther, who died in her twenty-third year; Samuel, Barbara, married to Peter Keiper; Annie, married to Daniel Fyock; and Adam Wissinger.
CHAPTER XXIII.
COAL, COKE, RAILROADS AND LUMBER.
The earliest evidence of the discovery of coal or that a coal bank was open in the county appears on the endorsement for the warrant for the William Barr tract of land, which was the old farm owned by Louis Von Lunen, in Moxham, now a part of the city of Johnstown. The endorsements made by the deputy surveyor general are as follows: "Date of Warrant, April 3, 1769; name of warrantee, William Barr; number of acres, 300. Remarks: On the south side of Stone Creek (Stony- creek river), opposite to the Stone Cole bank. Returned, &c. 31st October, 1788." At that time there were several inhabi- tants in this vicinity, and within five years Joseph Johns ac- quired the Campbell tract of land and made a settlement upon it.
Mrs. Ann Linton used coal as a fuel for domestic purposes while living in Johnstown in 1822. Three years later Matthew and Michael Myers opened a coal bank west of Lilly, and op- erated it before the construction of the old Portage railroad. The coal was mined more especially for blacksmiths' use in the Juniata valley, and was carried across the mountains on pack horses. William Tiley opened a bank near it some years after. Prior to July 3, 1839, Charles Murray had a coal bank in operation on the land of Samuel Singer, near Vinco. It was on the public road leading from Johnstown to Ebensburg. The usual fuel for domestic purposes was wood until as late as 1860. It was the principal fuel for locomotives until after that date, but coal began to be common in the fifties. Coal banks along the railroad in Croyle township have been in operation for many years, yet until 1885 there was none near Lovett's station, which is a few miles south of South Fork. Prior to that date the coal for domestic purposes had to be hauled from the Heitingfelter bank, or the Erb bank, which were on the Solo- mon's Run, a distance of eight miles.
On April 3, 1843, the court of common pleas approved the proceedings of William Rodgers to condemn a strip of land leading from his coal mine, then on the land occupied by John Farren, to a point on the west side of the culvert on the Alle-
574

gheny Portage railroad, near the foot of Plane No. 4, now Lilly. The mine was about 300 yards from the road. The diagram accompanying the report shows that the coal road led up to the Portage railroad, evidently for the purpose of shipping coal by ranl.
Samuel Lemon, the father of John and Samuel Lemon, of Hollidaysburg, opened a mine near the foot of Plane No. 5, west of the Summit, and shipped coal on that road at a very early date. The Lemon seam of coal was named for him, as he was the first person in this locality to work it.
In 1840 there were 41 coal miners in Cambria county, of whom 35 were in Washington township; three in Johnstown, and three in Conemaugh township.
The first coal operators at South Fork were Jacob C. and George B. Stineman, Samuel Paul, Joseph Croyle and Richard J. Hughes, who organized the South Fork Coal and Iron Com- pany in 1869, and opened the first vein of coal for the purpose of mining and shipping. At this time, about one hundred large cars, averaging forty tons to the car, are being shipped daily from South Fork and its immediate vicinity, which includes the Ehrenfeld mines.
On January 1, 1862, it was noted in the newspapers that the Pennsylvania railroad had just added 200 eight-wheeled cars to its rolling stock for the increased trade of the Westmoreland Coal Company, whose mines were at Irwin and Shafton. Eight wheel cars at that time carried from nine to ten tons of coal.
The first official record of the bituminous coal mined was kept in 1820, when there were 3,000 tons mined in Maryland. Twelve years later the output had been increased to 12,000. The federal records show that it began in Pennsylvania, Mis- souri, Indiana, Alabama, Iowa, Arkansas, and North Carolina in 1840, when there were 464,826 tons mined in Pennsylvania, and three tons in North Carolina.
The coal in the northern part of the county began to be developed in 1882, when the late Judge Dean, who was then president judge of the Cambria courts, purchased coal along the Clearfield creek and built the "Cresson, Clearfield and New York Short Route R. R.," which was chartered December 19, 1882, to extend from Cresson to Irvona. It was thrown into service May 1, 1886, and was subsequently purchased by the Pennsylvania railroad, now forming a part of the Cambria & Clearfield division. The coal was bought for about five or
575

seven dollars per acre. The road known as the original Ebens- burg branch between Cresson and Ebensburg was opened in 1861. Its charter was issued May 5, 1859, as the "Ebensburg and Cresson R. R."
In 1887 the late Governor Hastings, ex-Governor Beaver, J. L. Spangler and others began to develop the coal in the Hastings district along the Chest creek. The coal and the neces- sary mining rights were acquired at about the same prices. On January 13, 1887, the Cambria & Clearfield R. R. was chartered for the purpose of hauling this coal to market, and the first track completed from La Jose to Hastings on September 24, 1888. It joined the Pennsylvania & Northwestern R. R. at La Jose, and the Pennsylvania R. R. at Bells Mill. In 1889 the branch from MeGees to Glen Campbell was opened for traffic. In order to have better facilities for taking the coal to the main line, the Pennsylvania R. R. built the main stem of the Cambria & Clearfield division from Garway to Kaylor station, including the Susquehanna extension from Bradley Junction to the June- tion of the Walnut Run Branch, and put it into service on Au- gust 1, 1892. The extension from the Junction of the Walnut Run Branch to Cherry Tree was completed and ready for busi- ness May 22, 1893.
The Blacklick district was opened about 1892, by ex-Judge Barker and associates. A large plant was erected at Vinton- dale, to which town the Blacklick Branch was extended on Oc- tober 30, 1894, and to Wehrum, August 29, 1902. On June 1, 1904, Dilltown was connected with Blacklick on the Indiana Branch by a road following the Blacklick creek.
All the railroads of the Pennsylvania R. R. in the county north of Cresson are operated as the Cambria & Clearfield rail- road division, which extends into Indiana county. Its first superintendent was D. H. Lovell, from January 1, 1893, to Oc- tober 8, 1894, when he was succeeded by Frank Firth Robb, who , remained until January 1, 1899; F. P. Abercrombie till August 1, 1900; L. W. Allibone until May 1, 1902; J. M. Baker, Jr., till November 1, 1902, and who was succeeded by Ernest J. Cleave, the present superintendent.
Coal has been shipped from South Fork since 1870, but the district between that coal town and Windber was not opened until July 31, 1891. The late James J. Fronheiser and Judge M. W. Keim, in 1887, were the pioneers in acquiring coal lands south of South Fork, which at that time were worth from seven
576

to ten dollars per acre. About 1890 the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company, one of the largest producers of bituminous coal in the country, came into the South Fork and Somerset districts and opened several mines in the vicinity of Windber and Scalp Level. The South Fork R. R. was opened for pas- senger traffic in August, 1897, and operated as a part of the Pittsburg division.
In June, 1907, about 355 loaded cars came from the South Fork Branch on week days, two-thirds of them being 50-ton steel cars. There are also about 100 cars shipped from South Fork and vicinity, about 800 from the Cambria & Clearfield di- vision, and about 300 from Portage, Lilly and Gallitzin. All this coal is taken to the eastern markets, excepting 20 cars, which go west over the Pennsylvania R. R. This amount does not include the shipments on the N. Y. C. R. R.
The county of Cambria is among the largest producers of bituminous coal in the United States. Its output for 1902 was 10,561,835 tons; 1903, 10,942,496; 1904, 10,829,087, and in 1905, 12,600,891 tons. In Pennsylvania it is only exceeded by the counties of Fayette, Westmoreland and Allegheny, and has 130 .. mines, the largest number in active operation. The next high- est is Clearfield with 127, and Westmoreland with 118. Of those in Cambria 113 are on the lines of the Pennsylvania rail- road; 13 on the New York Central; three on the B. & O. R. R., and one on the P. J. E. and E. R. R.
In 1905 the average number of days the mines were in active operation was 211, and upon this basis there were 59,719 tons taken out every working day, which is equal to 14.56 acres mined from a three-foot seam. The railroads required 1,492 forty-ton cars to haul it to market. The average prices for all kinds of bituminous coal at the mines in Pennsylvania, per short ton, were: In 1901, .99 cents; 1902, $1.08; 1903, $1.18; and 1904, 96 cents. There are various grades of coal, some of which bring higher prices; for instance, the average selling price for the best Miller seam coal in 1906 was $1.40 at the mine, while the ordinary coal was $1.16. On this basis the net value of the output at the mine, in Cambria for the year 1905, was $16,160,642, which is about one-twenty-ninth value of the entire production in the United States.
The wages for picked mine coal for 1906 were sixty-six cents per gross ton, and machine mined coal was five-ninths of that rate with an addition of a half cent per ton. The average
577
HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
tonnage of coal mined per man per day in 1905 was 3.24, and the average for the year was 684. This average is based on 211 days during which the mines were active, and the larger number of miners only worked eight hours per day.
The railroad rates per gross ton to Boston are $2.60; to New York, $1.80, and to Baltimore, $1.55. The market value for the best Miller seam coal in New York in 1906 was $3.20 per ton ; in Baltimore, $2.95, and in Boston, $4.
The county of Cambria is the third largest coke producing county in the state, being exceeded only by Fayette and West- moreland counties. The coke producers for 1906 were :

The bituminous coal trade of New York includes properly, not only the city itself, but the country along Long Island Sound. New York Harbor embraces the coal docks from South Amboy to Weehawken. The supply of coal for the harbor goes there by rail from the Clearfield and Broad Top regions and western Pennsylvania, Cumberland. The Beech creek or Northern Clearfield coal does not go to New York City, but goes to the large cities in central and western New York, while the Penn- sylvania railroad controls the city and harbor trade for Clear- field coal. The bunker trade-the supply of coal to steamers, coastwise and foregin-at New York, is practically in the hands of two or three large companies and is chiefly supplied from Western Pennsylvania, which includes Cambria and Somerset coal.
Among the many tests made by the Department of the Interior at Washington in 1905, were two from samples taken from mines close to Johnstown. The first was from the Miller seam of coal, and from what is termed the "run of mine," from mine No. 3, at Ehrenfeld, which is operated by the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Company. The chemical analyses of the two samples, one from the mine and the other from the loaded car ready for shipment, were :

Below are the columnar tests made in different parts of the county by John Fulton, the eminent mining engineer of Johnstown. They show the different seams of coal, their thick- ness and depths. Tests Nos. 1 and 2 include the different for- mations between the coal seams. The Coke Yard or Lemon seam at Johnstown is about 302 feet below the surface, while in the bored hole near Vinco the same seam is 393 feet. There are about twenty feet and eleven inches of coal in No. 1, and seven inches less in No. 2. However, some of the beds are too thin to work. It will be observed in No. 3 the thickest seam, which is locally known as the Clarion or B bed, is seven feet and five inches, but it runs out about the Blubaker creek. The average workable seams have about three feet and nine inches of coal.
