Back East

Today we are going to divert back to Pennsylvania and the Cooverts.
A fellow researcher from Texas who has ties to the West Liberty, Brady Twp. area of Butler County found this new article.

To refresh memories or introduce for the first time. W.C. Covert 'uncle Will' was Grandma Belle Barnett's brother. Della was his wife.

I had read in news of his death that Uncle Will was known in the Butler area for his horses but this article really reveals a lot more about that.

Does anyone have any idea where the Coovert Farm in Connoq. Twp. was?  Grandma and Grandpa's farm would have been know as the Barnett Farm. A new mystery to solve.

I can't help but wonder if it was the Holt Farm. Grandma and Grandpa rented there around the same time as this article. And it was the first home we bought in 1973.

Ironically Vivian recently mentioned remembering visiting Aunt Della in her older years. She lived at the Almira Home in New Castle.
