THROWBACK THURSDAY: Donor of Maple Avenue Nurses Home
by Clearfield County Historical Society    Thursday, March 17, 2022   in Features, Local News, Top Stories    0    0 Share on FacebookShare on Twitter     Phebe Tyler was born April 10, 1843, the daughter of David and Isabelle (Mahaffey) Tyler.
The village of Tyler was named for her father, one of the pioneers of this section of the Bennetts Branch Valley. The family moved to Clearfield County, settling here in Huston Township in 1848.
Miss Tyler was a woman of broad education and thought. Realizing that his family should have a good education her father employed a governess for his daughters, and Miss Phebe learned to speak French and German with fluency.
Phebe’s greatest accomplishment was in building the Nurses’ Memorial Home for the Maple Avenue Hospital in DuBois in 1923.  Tyler initially donated $15,000, which was later found to be insufficient so she contributed more.
She continued to manage the project until it was completed, even though she was confined to her bed.
Miss Tyler also contributed greatly to welfare and charity.  She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church of Penfield and in her own community. 
She organized the first Sunday School in her town, which was held in a sawmill and later donated land for a church with the only stipulation being that it could not be taken over by one denomination. She later raised funds with her friends’ help in order to construct a building on the land. 
She was liberal in her contributions to welfare work, not only organized work, but she contributed to the education of ambitious young men and women to assist them in their higher education.
Her contributions to welfare and charity were widespread.  No one ever went by her home who was in need that was not helped. 
After her father’s death in 1882, the burden of looking after the financial interests of the family fell on her shoulders.
(The land Mr. Tyler had bought became very valuable on account of timber.) She also succeeded her father as postmaster at Tyler for 13 years.
Miss Tyler always did her own thinking and followed her own thoughts.  She always knew what she wanted and insisted upon having it that way.  She kept entire control of her business affairs up to the last.

True story! That’s what I tell everyone, she’s not just my Faith, she’s OUR Faith, and she wouldn’t be here without all of your prayers!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Luthersburg Golden Yoke
by Clearfield County Historical Society    Thursday, January 20, 2022   in Features, Local News, Top Stories    0    0 Share on FacebookShare on Twitter     Pictured are photos of what we know as “The Golden Yoke.” Situated at a strategic spot on the Old Erie Pike, Luthersburg provided a host of accommodations for travelers and inhabitants of Brady Township.
According to Aldrich’s 1887 history of Clearfield County, “The first tavern, as hotels were then called, was opened by Lebbeus Luther shortly after settling at Luthersburgh (sic), in 1820.
  955.8K   Macron Criticized for Saying Government Should Make Life Miserable for Unvacci The Golden Yoke was originally called the Merchants Hotel and it was built about 1855. It became the “Golden Yoke” in the 1940’s when it stopped being a hotel and began serving a “smorgasbord” style dinner.  
It was named for an ox yoke that was painted gold and hung on the porch. Folks reportedly traveled from miles away to sample the cuisine.
Much has happened there over the years. The hotel was the site of civil war political unrest, a spot to view parades and lodging for teamsters hauling iron shipments on their way along the Erie Pike.

She looks like a giant doll baby!

Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you!

wishing Faith and her crew a great Christmas....no coal for you sweetheart  

Lol no need to be sorry! Lol she is THE cutest of the bunch lol! Our little star ⭐️ 

Happy Thanksgiving from the Spichers! And yes Faith is standing on her own with a little help from the couch!

I’ll try to be more up to date…things just seem to be flying! Where the heck did September go?! I’m still looking for it lol 😆 but yes meant to be! She has changed my whole world yet fits so perfectly in it…I didn’t realize how empty my life was before her …♥️♥️♥️

She does say Papa now!! The next word we are going to work on is GiGi for grandma.

She rolls over, gets her legs in a position as of to get into the crawling position but her coordination and her low toned muscles prove to be an obstacle. You can tell her brain wants to crawl but her body just can’t get it together lol but every day we work with her and literally have to teach her every single movement, teach her the coordination and teach her the movements, every day though is a little bit of improvement, it’s small but it’s still significant. We are also trying to teach her body to walk, balance and coordination as well as her muscle strength are an obstacle but her knees bend as if her brain knows but her body just doesn’t cooperate…it will take a lot of time but I know we will get there 😊 thank you so much for asking! I LOVE the questions and I love to teach about her ♥️

I know right! She was soooo tiny! Sometimes it’s hard to fathom how small she was and now she looks like such a big girl lol! Growing up too fast!

And here is a little throwback from when she was 2 weeks old, about 4lbs 16 3/4” to now 2yrs 11mos and almost 22lbs and 31 1/2”! 

Faith is definitely exercising her independence! It took us a little bit of work and some patience but we finally got some cute Christmas pics ♥️

looks more like a posse.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Old Hunting Tales from Luthersburg
by Clearfield County Historical Society    Thursday, November 4, 2021   in Features, Local News, Top Stories    0    1 Share on FacebookShare on Twitter     As many Clearfield Countians begin this upcoming hunting season, we decided to take a look back at the Luthersburg area.  Wild game was very plentiful in the early days of the county pioneers. 
So much has changed throughout the years but Luthersburg is still known to have a thriving wild game population. There are many hunting camps that come alive during hunting season with camaraderie and tradition.
Skip Tales from long ago are remembered as we create new memories for future generations. Frederick Zeigler (1799-1888), an early pioneer to Brady Township, gave a recollection of his own hunting days to Mr. P.S. Weber of DuBois. 
This remembrance was written in Mr. Zeigler’s obituary.  The obituary stated that Mr. Zeigler was a noted hunter in rural Brady Township.
He said that he had killed probably 500 deer, shot and captured 82 bears, one panther, seven wolves, raccoons and foxes by the hundreds, and one man in a wolf trap.  That man was Fred Zeigler himself, who had forgotten the location of the trap!
Pictured is a circa 1900 of the Luthersburg Rifle Club. 
Standing, from left to right, are: Jim Kirk, Cristian Laborde, William Fisher Kirk, Milton Miles, Herb Luther, Johnson Kirk and George Spencer.
Seated, left to right, are: John Parrish, Elias Woodward “Woody” Kelley, Joe Shugarts, Henry Seyler and George Shugarts.                                                                              https://gantnews.com/2021/11/04/throwback-thursday-old-hunting-tales-from-luthersburg/

It looks like she knows you just fooled her into trying something you knew she wouldn't like!  

You just watch, she is going to be ahead of you both in years to come!

We tried to get this done in the spring but didn’t get to, 
I wanted a picture of the little peanut petting a baby chick♥️ I just thought it would be super precious! So thank you to Rural King for helping us make this picture perfect moment! The guy that helped us do this was super kind!

Girl moms will totally understand this!
Another milestone!
I can finally put peanuts hair up in a little Pebbles Pig tail lol!
Her hair was so long last summer and we were almost there but ..well..you know...anyway, 
Look how freakin CUTE!

So her eyes are coming along, her toofers are coming in, her cute purple glasses are a hit her smile is still there and it looks like you're teaching the little angel how to use the computer!  Sounds like a hit to me!!!!

she is getting so big (in a good way)....time flies...such a cutie
