I wonder if anything is left of her in the grave? Collect DNA is possible and find a family line. These stories are really crazy happening at that time period.
I’m not sure where the potter’s field was back then, but the current one was just a farm through most of the 20th century until the county bought and developed it for various facilities. If I had to hazard a guess off the top of my head, I’d begin looking at/near one of the hospitals - possibly the poorhouse off Paxton St.
"Sunbury, just north of Harrisburg." I don't think I'd consider it since it's about an hour by today's means, let alone the early 1900s where the fastest car couldn't go much above 10 mph
Good point. I was more thinking of the connection via rail. Sunbury had a line to Lewistown and Lewistown had a line to Harrisburg. A lot of railroad connections lived in that house. If you watch my short here it shows that a train robber in Lewistown, in 1909, is believed to have arrived in Wrightsville PA the next day. ruclips.net/user/shortsUUce_lADBfY?si=oTluVKygBD04j2Ic
That's what I was thinking! It's not like apartments...... you'd think people would try to make the house a "home"....... maybe creepy vibes or the foul odor were prompting these people to leave...... 😮
oh and also I know 2 historical places that you might want to do 2 videos about in Harrisburg did you know that before they made the Harrisburg east mall their was a mine underground there and when they were doing construction they hit a part of the mine so they used dynamite to destroy the rest of the mine so they could build the mall you can find a history reading about it on google web and it tells about the name of the mine and if you know about the downtown Harrisburg bus station well the Hilton hotel is built on top of an old tunnel from back in the 80s or 70s people used to hang out down there in the tunnel and they had couches and chairs and even shower rooms down there my mom told me about it one time and then they sealed it up and built the Hilton on top of it but I heard if something happens to the Hilton then they will reopen that sealed tunnel and people would be able to hang out again down there like they did in the 70s or 80s you can also find a history reading about that on google web too I looked it up before
@XGamingExploring keep the ideas coming! I did know about the caves under the Harrisburg Mall. And the comfort stations at Market Square. I always wondered if there was still a way to access them. I will have to look into it. I hear the York City Square has the same comfort stations under there.
@@runningintohistory I heard about that too in York city but their is no access to the sealed tunnel under the Hilton hotel in Harrisburg you might be able to find out more stuff about it if you ask the Hilton hotel people about it
Another great video. Very interesting.
Thank you Drew!

@@CharChar876 I wondered the same thing. I had a whole discussion about that in this video and ended up cutting it out lol
@@runningintohistoryOthram is a lab that does forensic DNA matching. They can figure out family lineage as long as there is enough DNA.

I grew up in Harrisburg PA and still live here. I lived in many houses in Harrisburg. One had a ghost in it.
1892-1914 10 familys in & out of one house? that alone sounds strange

@Swami-im8oo I was thinking the same.
I wonder if they ever caught the person that did it and was wondering why the person did it
@@XGamingExploring unfortunately the case remains unsolved.

York City does have some comfort areas, which I believe have been closed for a while. @@runningintohistory
