ANCIENT FAMILY RECORD
MARRIAGES, BAPTISMS AND DEATHS AMONG THE STORMS
(From the Johnstown Tribune.) After the death of Rev. Father Davin, the beloved pastor of St. Columba's Church, Sixteenth Ward, his library was sold at auction. In a book obtained by Mr. Ed. F. Creed was found the leaf of an old church record containing memoranda of marriages, births, and deaths in the Storm family. The leaf is well-browned with age. It is presumed it came into Father Davin's possession while he was pastor at the Summit some years ago. The Storm family — as it is well known — is one of the oldest in Cambria County history. Several branches of it still live on the mountain. The popular artist — George Storm — formerly resided at the Summit. The record dates back to 1796, when John Storm, the main stem of the family tree, was united in marriage to Susan Weissang. Following is a copy of the ancient document:
