Cambria County Events of the Past

The purpose of this section is to permit the display of information / articles of historical & genealogical significance or articles from newspapers that provide a glimpse of the day-to-day life of our ancestors to Cambria County researchers. The newspaper reporting of past reunions is also included on this page. Items and photographs referenced from this section may cover a range of subjects.

Obituaries were originally included in this section. They are now being moved to the Obituary Index section of the Cambria County pages (not the one that is accessible through the Blacklick Township pages).

The list below does NOT include all Cambria County newspapers or all years that newspaper was published.

Searches can be made for specific surnames, events, years, or newspapers.

Searching hints:   Some of the older articles have alternative spellings for names. You'll have to be "creative" in searching for your relatives. An example would be for McGough ... try M'Gough. There's articles mentioning both spelling variations. Once you're viewing the page, use the Edit > Find on your browser's menu bar to locate the article within the web page (if it's a page with multiple articles on it).
