| 4 | Herman Samuel MacMinn. was nine years old when he went to East Bradford, Chester County, to live with his grandparents, April 16. 1858. He remained there for seven years when he returned to Williamsport. He was educated in the common schools. Dickinson Seminary* and Williamsport Business College, finding his talents and an inheritance from his father. He worked under the latter supervision for four years, and was his father’s assistant in the making of surveys and the first map of Wildwood Cemetery, at Williamsport. He also worked from the bottom upward on the surveys, location and construction of the old Winslow Colliery Railroad, a length of 248 miles between Milton and Franklin, of which his father was chief engineer, becoming his assistant. In the summer of 1867, he spent three months on preliminary surveys in the Eastern Shore of Maryland, for the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad. In March, 1870, going to Philadelphia, to accept a position as principal assistant engineer on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, in which he s])ent four years, at the end of that time he became assistant to the chief engineer on the Delaware and Bound Brook Railroad, from the Delaware River to Bound Brook, a distance of twenty-eight miles, in the state of New Jersey. Mr. MacMinn then built the Trenton Branch of the same road, being engaged in this engineering enterprise for two and one half years. He then came to DuBois and for a year was in the employ of John DuBois, afterward, as division engineer on the construction of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad in charge of the western division. Mr. MacMinn was, later, appointed general inspector of masonry and assistant engineer in the construction of the Pittsburg, Youngstown and Toledo Railroad, after the completion of this road he entered the employ of the Andrews Brothers, iron manufacturers of Youngstown. Ohio, and in their interest spent three months in the wilds of the northern Peninsula of Michigan examining some ore lands. From there they sent him to the ore ranges in North Hastings County, Canada, where he discovered and opened up a small mining property, which proved to be small pocket of ore and was exhausted after about nine months operation. Mr. MacMinn then went east to New York City in the interest of Mr. W. C. Andrews, to secure sites for the location of stations, for his steam plant which he was introducing for heating and power purposes in that city; this being accomplished, after a few weeks, Mr. MacMinn was sent again to Northern Micliigan to explore some lands on the Marquette Range, and again on the Menominee Range, where considerable time was spent with Diamond Drills. In the meantime Mr. Andrews had his steam system installed and put into practical operation, he obtained the privilege of laying the pipes on Fifth Avenue, when he sent for Mr. MacMinn to take charge of the new work as assistant engineer, this engaged his time for fifteen months, when the Kings County Elevated Railroad in Brooklyn had obtained their charter to construct that road on Fulton Avenue. Mr. MacMinn was engaged in the location of the line from Fulton Ferry to East New York, a distance of about five miles. This work required about fifteen months, and construction was commenced only to be delayed by injunction proceedings, this, by the way, only prevented the work from going forward, for about a year, when the injunction was dissolved by the court; however, at the beginning of the delay Mr. MacMinn left Brooklyn and returned to DuBois, when in a short time he was engaged by the Andrews Chapin & Co., of Youngstown, Ohio, and Duluth. Minnesota, to examine the iron ore ranges north of Lake Superior, those of Vermillion and Mesaba Ranges, and at the head waters of the Mississippi river. After a year spent in these regions, through a winter when the mercury was as low as fifty-two degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, and the summer temperature very high, exposed to the tormenting poisonous bites of the insects and miasmic atmosphere of forests and marches, camping out and making long journeys in canoe, and tramping Indian trails after many months, which was making inroads on his hitherto robust constitution, he resolved to make a change. The opportunity came unexpectedly, in the oflfer of a position as assistant engineer on the Chicago & North Western Railroad with headquarters at Madison, Wisconsin. This appeared, on reflection, as a delightful change, and the ofifer was accepted. The several roads in Wisconsin making up the division over which Mr. MacMinn was placed, included 800 miles; careful semi-annual inspections were required, a great deal of new work was carried out, numbers of men employed, and separated at long distances, and being entirely unfamiliar with the road heretofore, it required great exertion and constant work, from sixteen to eighteen hours every day. This was a task endured for nearly a year, when it became no longer endurable and Mr. MacMinn resigned his position and returned to DuBois, where he was engaged by Mr. John DuBois to make a survey of the DuBois estate, including nearly 20,000 acres in Clearfield County; also by Mr. A. C. of Lock Haven, for the survey of the Osbom Baum and Carrier lands, including several thousand acres in the vicinity of DuBois and Falls Creek. During the time of this work and the years that followed, Mr. MacMinn was engaged almost constantly in various lines of work in his calling, in borough work, sewers, water supplies, town plots, and the location of the DuBois Electric Street Railway. In the fall of 1896, Mr. MacMinn planned and located a private water supply for Mr. DuBois, one of the most complete to be found anywhere. The length of the line is about two and one quarter miles; fifteen hundred and forty-two feet of this passes through a ridge of solid rock by a tunnel but four feet high by three feet wide; the work was started in November at both ends and worked continuously for five months (except Sundays). But two men could work together on account of the contracted space. The headings came together on Wednesday at noon April 21, 1897. A short distance below the tunnel a reservoir was constructed in a ravine, covering an area of two and two-thirds acres, containing 4,500,000 gallons, the water of the finest quality is obtained from fifteen springs and small streams flowing from the sandstone formation of Boons Mountain, nearly seventeen hundred feet above sea level, and conveyed through eighteen and twenty-inch vitrified pipe. At the tunnel, which is sealed at both ends, the water is allowed to flow freely over the rock bottom which has a fall of but a quarter of an inch in every sixteen feet; at the end of the tunnel the water is again taken up and conveyed to the reservoir in a pipe. Each tributary line of six-inch pipe has for its inlet a small reservoir, receiving-box, arranged with settling basin, trap and screens to prevent any floating substance from entering the line, along the main line at several places are sediment basins. Each inlet reservoir is carefully fenced with wire to prevent any approach to the water. From the main reservoir the water is conveyed to the town a distance of about three miles. In May and June of 1896, Mr. MacMinn made a survey for a railway line from DuBois to Centreville over Boons Mountain, a distance of eighteen miles, to determine the feasibility of reaching the timber tracts Mr. DuBois owned on Hicks Run in Elk and Cameron Counties; this project was abandoned and it was determined subsequently, to build up that stream from its mouth, Mr. MacMinn making the reconnoisance of this Route in April, 1902, from which he followed it up with the location. To reach the distant lines of the several timber tracts several switch back tracks have been required, and the removal of the timber has been progressing since that time. The almost constant demand for some manner of work has deprived Mr. MacMinn of times usually allowed as vacation and recreation has been of rare occurrence with him, the only one of which he can recall with any degree of satisfaction was a trip to the Pacific Coast in the summer of 1891, occupying three months time. Mr. MacMinn made the study of geology and mineralogy a pastime and his collection is on a large scale, his opportunities for collecting curios appealed to his fancy and these are in great number, along with his interest in Indian relics, compose a museum full of varied interest. The gathering together of all this collection was but the passing of many hours in strange lands and in the wilderness, away from home and friends, in an agreeable and contented frame of mind, and with it all his life has been a busy and useful one. H. S. MacMinn was married first to Miss Mary Louisa Fowler, a niece of John DuBois, in Christ Church, Williamsport, Pa., November 23, 1875; she died without issue February 28, 1894. Mr. MacMinn married secondly January 1st, 1869, Miss Cora F. Fisher, a daughter of William P. Fisher, of Unionville, Centre County, Pa. They have two children : ^larjorie and Dorathea. Mr. MacMinn first united with the Dutch Reformed Church, at Seventh and Spring Garden Streets, Philadelphia, in the year 1870, after coming to DuBois He and his wife united with the Presbjterian Church, his present wife [1911] is a member of the Society of Friends, [Quaker] of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting. In politics Mr. MacMinn is a Republican and is now a member of the School Board and of the Building Committee. The family residence is on the corner of DuBois Avenue and Fourth Street, DuBois. *Dickinson Seminary was a preperatory school for Dickinson College which became Lycoming College located in Williamsport, PA. The two institutions were closely related during the nineteenth century when they were both affiliated with the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. | MACMINN, Herman Samuel Wyler (I1799)

| 17 | Obituary Edwin’s obituary was published in the Ligonier (IN) Leader the week of 7 Jan 1936 in Ligonier, Noble County, Indiana, United States. Funeral Services were held Wednesday afternoon Stricken with apoplexy on Tuesday evening, December 17, while listening to his radio, Edwin G. Thompson, founder of the Ligonier Leader, and editor of this newspaper since its first issue in the Spring of 1880, died at his home on Martin Street, Sunday, January 6, 1936, at 4:00 o'clock p.m. His condition at first was not considered serious, but the paralysis, following the stroke, gradually spread over his body and death followed. He was 81 years and 10 days of age. Born in Clearfield County, Pa., on December 26, 1854, the son of Stacy W. and Elizabeth Thompson, he spent his early childhood on a farm near Clearfield, Pa., where he acquired the rudiments of an education, later by self-education, advancing far enough to become a teacher. At the age of 14, with his brothers, Stacy, Jr. and Byron, he started westward, locating first in Michigan, where he served a three-year's apprenticeship as a printer. Continuing in the printing business, he held positions on newspapers in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa, finally locating in Sturgis, Michigan, where in 1879, he was engaged in publishing the Saturday Evening Leader. Prominent republicans in Ligonier induced him to move to this city and start a newspaper, and on June 4th, 1880, the first issue of The Ligonier Leader was published under his editorship with a circulation of 600 copies. The newspaper was a success from the start and has continued to be so. Mr. Thompson continued as editor of The Ligonier Leader until 1920, when he entered into partnership with his youngest son, Leland, and the paper as since been published under the editorship of E.G. Thompson and Son. The Leader was first located in the Ackerman Building in the second floor room, now occupied by the office of Dr. F.N. Stratton. In 1882 the office was moved to the second floor of the Schrock building at Second and Calvin streets, then just completed, where it remained until February 1928, when Mr. Thompson and his sons purchased the Woodruff building opposite the former location, moving to the first floor of that building, where they have since remained. On November 27, 1874, he was united in marriage with Esther M. Barnes in Fenton, Mich., and to them was born one son, Wilbur. Mrs. Thompson died August 1, 1879, and on December 8, 1881, he was united in marriage with Ella Kennedy at Sturgis, Mich. There were five children born to them, Martha, Grace, James, Edwin G., Jr., (Ted), Leland and Herbert. Herbert died in infancy, Ted at the age of 7 years and Martha in 1927, following a short illness of pneumonia. Mrs. Thompson died in the fall of 1929, and Mr. Thompson, with the exception of one year spent in the home of his son, Leland, has continued to live at his Martin Street home with Miss Ardath Furst as his housekeeper, who in those years has given him the affection, care and comfort of a daughter. His appreciations of a family and the younger generation was an outstanding characteristic of his life, and in 1913, with all his children gone from home, he and Mrs. Thompson took into their home a young friend, Miss Matilda Reimer, of Chicago, who remained with them several years, graduating from the high school here. He was a member of the Methodist Church of Sturgis, Mich., and during his residence here was a loyal and devoted worker in the Methodist Church of this city, being a member of the Board of Trustees for the past 50 years. He never held any public office except for two terms when he served on the Ligonier School Board, and two terms as Secretary of the Indiana Editorial Association, but his life was spent in devotion to the highest and best principles of good citizenship, and he worked untiringly for the things that would tend to make Ligonier a better place in which to live. He was a charter member of the Ligonier Chamber of Commerce, but for the past three years had been inactive in the affairs of that organization because of his declining health. He was a loyal Republican, casting his first vote for Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, and never missed voting at any election following that time. He devoted his time, talents and business to the Republican party, and for this he received no reward other than the knowledge of a work well and honestly done to the best of his ability. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, from the Methodist Episcopal Church, with Rev. G.H. Bachelor, a close personal friend, and Rev. C.C. Wischmeier, officiating. Burial was made in Oak Park Cemetery. Surviving relatives include one daughter, Mrs. F.E. Pfeiffer, of Washington, D.C., three sons, Wilbur H. Thompson, of Dayton, O., James S. Thompson, of New York City, and Leland K. Thompson, of this city; one brother, Stacy C. Thompson, of Manistee, Michigan, and one sister, Mrs. M.A. Johnson, of Battle Creek, Michigan. Pall bearers at his funeral were Leland Calbeck, Elmo Weaver, Leon Wertheimer, Herbert Sisterhen, Will Green and Curtis Hutchison, all boyhood friends of his three sons and whose families had been personal friends of Mr. Thompson and family during his life here. ______ Edwin appeared on the census on 16 Sep 1860 in Curwensville, Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

| 20 | Obituary Frank Christensen, one of Utah's most accomplished and renowned athletes and industrialists, died of natural causes on Sept. 6, 2001, at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was 91. Frank was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 1, 1910, to Emily L. and Louis J. Christensen, and he eventually joined his five brothers and three sisters working in the family machine shop business founded by his father. He was an extraordinary athlete who was named All-State in baseball, basketball, and football two years running at Granite High School. Christened "Crashing Chris" by teammates and sports fans, he later played fullback at the University of Utah where he was the school's first All American in two consecutive years. He set many records, some of which still stand, and he is credited with scoring 13 points in 13 seconds in a game against Colorado College, an amazing feat memorialized in Ripley's Believe It or Not. He was later named to the College Football Hall of Fame and was recognized as Utah's Athlete of the Century. He was also honored by Sports Illustrated as the magazine's Silver Anniversary All American. After college, he played fullback for the Detroit Lions from 1934 through 1937 and was a member of the famous Lions team that won the 1835 World Championship against the New York Giants (a precursor to the modern Super Bowl). After returning home from Detroit, he and a former Lions teammate joined to develop a new business in a corner of the family machine shop. The products would be drill bits utilizing industrial diamonds, and they would soon revolutionize the world's mining and petroleum industries. Called Christensen Diamond Products Company, the firm grew to become the world's largest producer of industrial diamond products with numerous diamond bit factories around the world employing thousands of employees. Christensen diamond drilling bits remain today the standard of the industries for which they were developed. After retirement, Frank became a benefactor to many organizations including the American Red Cross, the American Cancer Society, the University of Utah, and several of Salt Lake City's medical schools and hospitals. Friends and family will remember him as an inspirational mentor who always provided words of encouragement and a helping hand. He was extraordinarily generous with his time and resources to all who knew him, and he was a dependable man of unfailing character and integrity. Frank is survived by his wife, Betty Campbell Christensen of Salt Lake City, Utah; his daughter, Carolyn Christensen Bollinger of San Jose, California; his son, Frank Louis Christensen of Jackson Hole, Wyoming; his stepchildren Wayne and Lora Petersen and Scott and Jill Slocum of Bremerton, Washington; and 24 grandchildren and step-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his grandson, David Bollinger, and step-daughter Debra Lee Passey. At Frank's request, there will be no funeral service or burial ceremony. A gathering of family and friends will be held at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, at 2 p.m. on Mon., September 10, 2001. __________ Frank Langton Christensen (born 1910) was the University of Utah’s first three-time All-American football player. Playing fullback he holds the school’s all-time career-scoring mark with 235 points. He is second in individual points in a season, scoring 100 points in 1930. Christensen is credited with once scoring 13 points in 13 seconds. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and was honored as a Silver Anniversary All-American in Sports Illustrated. Christensen went on to the pros with the Detroit Lions (1934-1937), where he was a member of the 1935 World Championship team. Later he would be chosen the best Utah football player of the 20th century. The elder Frank Christensen was also successful in business. He helped revolutionize the mining and petroleum industry with a drill bit that utilized industrial diamonds. His company, Christensen Diamond Products Company, became the world’s largest producer of industrial diamond products. He died on September 6, 2001 at the age of 91. | CHRISTENSEN, Frank Langton (I11292)

Bloom died suddenly of heart failure at his home on 701 East Poplar street this morning about 10 o'clock. Heart disease was given as the cause of his sudden demise. He seemed to be in his usual health this morning. Mr. Bloom was out in the yard doing the early morning small chores as was his habit about home. He was over 71 years of age, and the work he did, was not heavy, those little things about the barn and house which he found pleasure in doing to keep himself busy. About 10 o'clock he came into the house to lay down on a lounge to rest before dinner, or perhaps take a nap, according to his custom. One of his daughters was in the room writing at the time, and in a few minutes, noticed her father breathing unnaturally. She called him, but he did not answer. He had passed away. Physicians were summoned, but the aged man had been called to his reward without warning. Deceased, with his family, came here about five years ago. They made many friends during their residence in the city and all extend the sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family. He is survived by his wife and eight children. The children are Harry C.

| 50 | Obituary New York Times, Tuesday, January 24, 1928: JAMES W. CORRIGAN DROPS DEAD AT 47 PRESIDENT OF LARGE STEEL CONCERN IN CLEVELAND AND PROMINENT TURFMAN Special to the New York Times. CLEVELAND, Jan 23 James W. Corrigan, Cleveland multimillionaire whose dramatic denunciations of Europe's playgrounds of luxury and entry into the steel business three years ago caused a sensation, died suddenly tonight at the entrance of the Cleveland Athletic Club. He had walked from his suite in the Hollenden Hotel to the club, intending to dine there. His age was 47. Associates in the Corrigan, McKinney Steel Company were stunned at the death of their President. In 1925 they had received a shock owing to the suicide of Price McKinney, shortly after he had been outsted as head of the new company by the son of his former partner and friend. James C. Corrigan, father of James W. Corrigan, placed control of the plant in the hands of McKinney, believing his son was not prepared to take charge of so vast an enterprise. After the father's death, James W. Corrigan spent some time at Europe's playgrounds and then came home and took the reins of the company. McKinney thereupon isolated himself in his palatial home at Wickliffe and later took his own life. With Price McKinney Mr. Corrigan established the Wickliffe Stable, and on his partner's retirement he took over the whole enterprise, including the Kingston stud. All the horses that ran in the colors of the Wickliffe Stable were bred by their owners. The Kingston stud was fomed on a nucleus of fine horses that once belonged to the late James R. Keene of New York, among them Colin, Delhi and Ultimus. Two years ago Corrigan won the Clark Handicap at Louisville with Sanutan. Mrs. James W. Corrigan is believed to be in London. | CORRIGAN, James W (I12538)
