Back to Map

Once owned by “Old Jimmie” Logue who operated Boalsburg’s first carriage factory (housemark 30) on Pitt (Main) Street, this porperty was bought by “Major” Harry Miller. His daughter, Nora, inherited it and lived there with Mary Reish, her half-sister.


Mary Reish was a fine dressmaker and went out by the day, or week, or longer, to sew for a family. Nora Miller also was a fine seamstress and did sewing for Mrs. Theodore Boal. Nora had a loom in her home and wove rugs. When her health failed, she gave the property to a Nursing Home in Allenwood in return for her care.
