May 30, 1890 - More on Dead Body Found by Two Little Girls in Morrellville - Johnstown Weekly Tribune

Two little girls out picking wildflowers find a dead body in Morrellville near the Lower Yoder/Morrellville Line above Maryland & Tennessee Avenues. 

Near the farm of John Hyder. 

Jennie Marsh & Annie Bingnell and Bert Ribblett.

Albert Finley

James Spealman, Henry Doyle, Thomas Risinger, Solomon Carl and J.T. Harnish.

So looking up everyone listed in the census. The Hyder farm was slightly above Maryland Avenue. Constable Bart Ribblett lived at 1338 Maryland Avenue. That is the direction the girls ran for help.

1890 Map of same location - circle for the house of Constable Bart Ribblett.

All of the men called by Ribblett for a death jury were all Morrellville men. I looked up their addresses.

Squire J.A. Ambrose's office was on Main Street - Morrellville  - now called D Street.

And for extra credit - looking up all the men - when I was working on Squire J. A. Ambrose - ran across this interesting tidbit that has nothing to do with this case as far as I know. Later in 1890 - he ended up being sentenced to 1 year in jail for marrying someone else's wife.
