Surname Index for
History - of - DUKE CENTRE - 1880

The book "History of Duke Centre" compiled by H. L. Cartwright, printed and published 1880 by Wellington & Carr at the "Sunday Morning News" Office, Duke Centre, Pa., was donated to this site by Brian Freeman of Lynchburg, Va. Michael Haley of Albany, NY, has compiled an indexing and donated it for your use. I thank both of these people for their interest and contributions to this site.

As you use the following surname index please keep in mind
  • 1.The index was compiled from a photocopy. Some of pages were difficult to read.
  • 2.Some of the multiple listing for a specific surname may be the same individual. If the text was unclear or inconclusive, multiple entries were left in the index.
  • 3.When you see a Given name that has a number 1 or 2, the text referenced brothers without providing given names.
  • 4.Advertising pages in the book were not numbered. In this index they are listed as A, B, C or D. Page 32A would immediately follow page 32. Page 32B would follow 32A and so on.
  • 5. Many individuals could have had multiple occupations listed. Space limitations necessitated we limit the number of occupations.
