Here are a couple of interesting articles about Grandpap Hurley's father George. George was the son of William Hurley and raised in and around Canonsburg, his wife Mary Calvert's family lived in and around Brownsville, and West Brownsville. I am sure this is Grandpap's father as his middle initial is the same and all information about locations, etc. fit. The first article when he went missing was dated Oct 2, 1891 and the second about his death was dated Oct 16, 1891. Both were in The Courier, Connellsville's newspaper where apparently he was employed. Lastly I am posting his National Guard info from the state archives. I have copies of the whole pages if anyone is interested just let me know.

Where did you get that stuff
It is from the newspaper in Connellsville at that time... The Courier. I belong to a genealogy web site called Ancestry.com and they have alot of old newspapers in their historical documents section. I actually found it by accident, found the article about him being missing then kept searching. After I read the article about his daath I went to the state archives to find his Pa National Guard info.
Definitely a member of our family.
