The Worthington Presbyterian Church (United Presbyterian), Circa 1877


A copy of the original owned by the church.  I have a larger more detailed original print purchased from the Gladys Barr estate in 1999, but it was too faded to be fully restored.  My thanks to the Session of the Church and to the Rev. Jonathan Speck for allowing me to have it copied.

Vernon Hotel, Kittanning, Pennsylvania, Old Photo

Here is another photo from my collection.  This one is of the Vernon Hotel, Kittanning, Pennsylvania.  My guess for a date would be circa 1910-1915, no information was written on the picture.

The Vernon is now a bar and restuarant.  The picture was a gift from my grandmother Alice Claypoole, who gave it to me in 1987 or 88.  She was unaware of any family connection, but thought some of her Miller and/or McMunn relatives may have been in the picture.
