My Poorman Line

John Sylvester Poorman 1886 - 1921

Maude Ryan Poorman 1880 - 1985

I never met my grandfather Poorman.  He died when my Dad was just 7 years old.  He worked at the paper mill, and built the house at 15 East Brown Street in Castanea PA.  I think he and Gram lived on Walnut Street for a while while he was building the house.  He married Gram in 1913, and Dad was born in 1914.  I'm glad I got to meet a couple of his brothers, Great Uncle Al, and Great Uncle Clyde.  Grand Dad John Sylvester is buried in Section 5 of Highland Cemetery in Lock Haven.

Thank God I had Grammy Poorman.  She was a significant figure in my life, and I learned some lifelong values from her.  I miss her so much.  I visit her Maple tree on Jessamine Street and pray every time I go to lock Haven . . .

Robert Curtain Poorman 1862 - 1895

Maime Ingram Poorman 1865 - 1940

	Peter Aquila Poorman 1776 - 1865
This is the oldest Poorman image I could find of my Poorman ancestors, i.e. my Great-Great-Great Grandfather Peter Aquila Poorman. On May 26, 2012, I visited the Union-Throne Cemetery in McElhattan, Wayne Township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania.  Several generations of my paternal grandparents are buried there, i.e. Peter Aquila (1776-1865), his son Joseph P. (1829-1906) and his son Robert Curtin (1862-1895); and some extended Poorman relatives.
