[The following narrative is in reference to David’s burial place:]

One of the early religious groups was the Society of Friends which organized a meeting in [Curwensville, PA] in 1833. At first they met in the old township schoolhouse on Filbert Street.

Job Way [David’s great grandfather], was among the original members.

In 1834-35 they erected a frame building where the Presbyterian Manse now is. This building [pictured] was later moved to its present location, directly back of the Presbyterian Church.

Sometime in the early 1900's this building [pictured] was used as a summer school. A cemetery was also near the original site of this building [pictured] and before the Manse was built, the bodies were removed to the Plainview (McNaul or Friends' Burying Ground) in Pike Township, back of the "Hartzfeld farm."1014
