This looks pretty simple to do. 
 

I have a pile of old glass negatives.
Anyone know who could develop them?
 
I also have a bunch of late 80s Kodak disk negatives that I would like to get prints from if anyone knows where let me know.

Yale University released digital library of photos from the Depression Era.  Link should bring up a map and then you can click on county to view photos.  There are several photos in Jefferson Co. link of Ralph Reitz and family of Falls Creek/DuBois area.    There are some awesome pictures of DuBois in the Clearfield link, also Tyler and other areas.

I have seen it but didn't know the story. Thanks, mr.d!

I will second that Mr. D. Thanks for keeping us informed. You do such service for others in this area.

Great story.   I've been lucky enough to have seen this.  Hope to see it again sometime.  

I look for it every time I go to Harrisburg.  All I ever knew about statue was it appeared over night.

Very informative and well done, so glad I went

THIS WAS so awesome. .. I took my grandson and he loved it... I think we have another history buff :-)

This weekend!
 
 
The 8th Annual Spirit of DuBois Lantern Walk entitled

On August 21st the Penn State students came to help at the cemetery for Penn State Community Outreach Day. We certainly appreciated all they did to help. They added mulch to the entrance, painted the circle and railing around the Childs' Mausoleum and swept the sidewalk along Main Street. We wish them all good luck in their future careers.

Our front flower bed. All the rain has helped the flowers this summer.

A Black bird perched high on top of the Knarr Monument. Getting a "birds eye view" of the City.

No, sorry but we can't sell lots. We are a Preservation Society. Our motto is "Moving forward while honoring the past". Thank you for your interest!

Our new bushes are blooming!

The old gate door on the left picture couldn't be saved. We had a new gate door made and it turned out great! The black piping around the mausoleum had been stolen years ago, we replaced it with new piping as a part of the restoration.

Before & After
 
 

AFTER YEARS OF NEGLECT, THE RUMBARGER CEMETERY PRESERVATION SOCIETY SUPPORTED BY LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND VOLUNTEERS, SUCCEEDED IN RESTORING AND NOW MAINTAINING THE BEAUTY AND SERENITY OF THE ENTIRE HISTORIC CEMETERY

No single group did all the work that had to be done in this area on its own. Congratulations on managing to coordinate all the of the folks, including the city, that you have had working on this. Sometimes that is more difficult that picking up a shovel and doing what has to be done. It looks great! 

Moving this topic to the Local History Forum so it won't fall off the main board in a few weeks. 

The City of DuBois is very good to us. Every summer they give us summer kids that mow and weed eat 5 days a week, eight hours a day and we still can't keep up. Without the City of DuBois's help, we would be lost and Rumbarger wouldn't be looking as good as it is. The summer kids free up the board members  to do other projects. It's 8 acres big and there is so much to do there, we are never caught up. Every year we fill 3 flower beds with flowers, we fill 11 urns with flowers, we maintain the mausoleum and the landscaping around it and the Soldiers Circle. We re-cement knocked over graves, trim bushes, pick up trash, rake leaves and paint where needed. We are very grateful to the help the City gives us. Plus several of the City's employees have come up after work and helped us out on their own time. We are 8 volunteers and most of us work full time. The work we do at Rumbarger is mostly done after work and on weekends. The City of DuBois has been wonderful and we really appreciate all they do for us. City of DuBois employees Herm Suplizio, Steve Swope and Scott Farrell have been very instrumental in helping us get to the point we are today. 

very nice thank you to all the people who donated their time .
