CHURCH: Mother's Surname appears with the Baptismal recording of her last son Josiah in the St. Paul's Luthern records of Beaver Twp.,Clarion Co.Pa. SLC film 0908505. BURIAL: Catherine is buried in Saint Paul's Reformed Luthern Church Cemetary, located between two churches south of Knox, Clarion, PA. In Sep 1991 I saw her headstone, took a "rubbing", her name "CATHERIN wife of" and "John Drone" were legable and a bronze strip had attached to preserve Data. By court order in 1933 the town of " EDENBURG " was changed to KNOX . Its founder thought the area to him looked as EDEN, thus Edenburg. NOTE, St. Daul's Luthern Church and a Methodist Church both use this cemetry. The "locals" refer to this place as "The Twin Churches" as they when founded used one building and one bank account but seperate boards. Looking at their cem. plot map some parts were out of sync by 90 degrees with reality. I let the current minister know I didn't believe the map to be true. PATRON NOTIFICATION: ref 510502
