I have been researching the Crum family off and on. I have into a road block with my great grandfather, Jesse Crum who died at age of 89 near Youngwood in the early l920's, I believe.  I have an old clipping, no dates, nothing helpful except giving his children's names.  He had two marriages.  My grandfather, Henry, and his brother, Hiram, were to the first wife.  They were raised by an "old lady", so I was told.  Second wife was Catherine???.   Found an old post-card to my uncle signed from "your grandmother, Catherine".  My grandfather, Henry, was from Johnstown, where my father was born.  I was also born there.
