Misc. Notes
Job’s father was located in Half Moon Valley, Centre county, PA. From this valley then came Caleb Way, Jr., and Job Way, the two brothers who are the ancestors of Pike township Ways.
Job was married to Jane Barlow and came to Clearfield county in the early spring of 1855. Job Way also purchased lands on Chestnut Ridge. He cleared out the farm where his son Adam Way now [1897] lives.

Job Way moved to Clearfield county in 1854 and settled on a wild tract of 110 acres, in Pike township. This land he subsequently cleared and it remained his home until the close of his life, his death occurring at the age of seventy-five years and his burial was at Plain View cemetery.
His widow survived to be eighty-three years of age. They were members of the Society of Friends [Quaker]. In his early years he was a Whig in his political views but became identified with tlie Republican party after its organization.

[The following narrative is in reference to Job as well as his 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 and Adam Hartsock [also in this record] were 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."
