Notes for Godfrey Fahrbach
Godfrey and Catherine lived in Hollidaysburg, Pa. Godfrey was considered to be one of the earliest and most respected citizens of Hollidaysburg, having come from Philadelphia by canal boat in 1845. Other sources indicate he did not immigrate until 1849. Godfrey worked on the old canal road upon coming to Hollidaysburg, then was employed by the old Portage Railway Co. He was subsequently a carpenter for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
