In November, 1917, Mr. Stroup was elected a member of the Johnstown

Transcriber's Note: In the 1880 Census, there is
an Abram MANGAS (æ 37, b. PA) living in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA.
He has wife Elizabeth (æ 34, b. NY) and these children: Adelia
(12), Mary (12), Malinda (10), and Clifford (5). So is the census
wrong or is this bio wrong? Assuming Charles was the informant for
this bio, how could he have gotten it wrong? |
