Reader Donald Costlow sent in these pictures of his Great-Grandfather Daniel Ott standing by his home near Windber by Camp Hamilton. The camp was the football training site for Windber High School. He says there are two stone cottages Daniel built in the early 1900's and both are still standing to this day - look on the right just before you hit the camp area - they are easy to pick out.

Camp Hamilton was originally the training camp location for the Pitt football team back in the 30's
Is the Don Costlow the Don Costlow who lived in Woodvale a few decades ago? Dave Struba
Was wondering if Daniel Ott's wife was Annie Coyle? This particular Daniel is my G-Grandfather. My grandfather's brother and his wife lived in one of those cottages at the Camp in Windber. My father's brother and his family bought a large piece of land in that area, and I believe it included both cabins. Small world!
