Hello to all Carothers Clan. My g.g. grandparents were William and Anna
Maria__? Carothers. They can be found on the 1850 & 1860 census in Antis Twp.,
Blair Co. PA Their son, Joseph Erb Carothers, served in the Civil War; b. June,
1849; d. Apr 21, 1880. He married at a very young age ca. 1867/9, to Alice
Kephart, B. Jan. 1849, Decatur Twp., Clearfield Co. PA. & died in 1934. They
resided in Osceola Mills where they had 4 children; John, Harry, Alice Bertha, and
Elizabeth May Carothers. After Joseph died, Alice applied for a widow's
pension. In answer to the question of where Joseph was born, she answer's that he was
born in Wyoming County, PA. Alice remarried a widower, (who had four or five
children) John Keller, b. 1845, Decatur Twp. Clearfield Co. PA, and he d.
1928. Alice and John had two or three children together. I would like to hear from
anyone related to any of these families, or who has any info regarding of
