Six Degrees of Reverend Nelson (Warren Pennsylvania Notables and the Homes They Lived In)

Location:  319 Liberty Street

Warren, Pennsylvania

Architectural style:  Second Empire

Year constructed:  1868

Original owner:  William D. Brown

16 rooms

William D. Brown was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1863-65.   He served as the Second President Judge of the 37th Judicial District from 1880 to 1890.

Excerpt from The History of the 37th Judicial District:  Hon. William D. Brown was born in Sugar Grove in 1823. After availing himself of such educational advantages as the public and private schools of Sugar Grove and the Warren Academy afforded, he studies law in the office of Johnson & Brown and was admitted to practice in 1847. In 1849 he was elected justice of the peace for Warren borough but resigned a short time later. In the fall of 1850 he was elected district attorney and held the office for three years. He was also a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1863-1965 and elected to the bench as President Judge in the fall of 1880. 

From 1851 to the time of his election as judge, he was actively and quite successfully engaged. A lifelong resident of Warren County, Judge Brown was the son of Hon. David Brown, the first Representative from Warren County to the Pennsylvania House.

The house remained in the Brown family until 1934, when it was sold to Adam Yerg.  The most notable renovation at this time was the removal of the tower.

Adam Yerg was born in 1879 and died in 1943.  His wife, who first name is not used in this obituary, continued to live in the house on Liberty Street until her death in 1962.   The ownership of the house then passed to her son Dr. A. F. Yerg.

Robert Robison Yerg, 1958 Warren High School graduate, is the son of Dr. and Mrs. A. F. Yerg.

From the Warren County Observer, 1/25/1962.  (bold added)

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was the setting June 24 at 2:30 p.m. for the marriage of Miss Beverly Jeanne Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Walter Johnson, 5 E. Third ave., to Robert Robison Yerg, son of Dr. and Mrs. A. Follmer Yerg, 16 Fourth ave. The double-ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. Carl E. R. Nelson of St. Paul’s, with the Rev. Donald H. Spencer of First Presbyterian Church assisting.

Joni Mitchell, Jane Fonda, and the Popularity of Chelsea as a Baby Name

Chelsea made her first appearance on the Social Security Administration's Popular Baby Names list in 1969.

Guess what else made its first appearance in 1969?

Chelsea made a big jump from #408 on 1981 to #170 in 1982, thanks, I suspect, to Jane Fonda's character, Chelsea Thayer Wayne, in On Golden Pond.



Chelsea peaked at #15 in 1992, the year that Bill Clinton was elected President of the United States.

At Least Three Reasons Why Telcos Lobby Against Municipal Broadband

U.S. Struggles to Keep Pace in Delivering Broadband Service. (The New York Times, 12/29/2013)

Thanks to municipal fiber optic networks. Some American cities have such superfast broadband that if they were ranked against foreign countries, several, like Bristol, Va., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Lafayette, La., would rank in the top 10.

Well-funded, too.   This battle has largely pitted well-organized corporations against people who aren’t quite sure what they’re voting on. Such measures have now passed in 19 states.

What would ALEC say?  San Antonio’s power company has a largely unused fiber-optic network that local government offices have been using for high-speed Internet service for years, but a Texas law prevents the city from using the network to give low-cost service to consumers.

Why Are There No Big Cities with Municipal Broadband Networks? (The Atlantic, 3/4/2013)

Profit centers.    In big cities, there’s also one other obvious obstacle to municipal broadband: Current providers like Comcast will be heavily motivated to fight for their hold on the market. “Comcast and AT&T don’t really care about Chattanooga," Mitchell says. "They care a lot about Philadelphia. That’s where they do their best business." Big cities are where telecoms make their highest returns selling service to densely clustered customers on fixed infrastructure.

Elial Todd Foote Valentine (1820-1892) was the original owner of the house.

It was the residence of the Wilton Monroe Lindsay family from 1881 to 1927.  

Sold to Dr. E. G. Hamilton in 1927.  He removed the mansard roof and front porch.

By the time the Nelson family moved to Warren in 1957, the house's interior had been remodeled into doctors' offices, thus the "Physicians' Building".  Dr. Lee Borger's pediatrics waiting room was on the front right side of the 2nd floor.

From Warren centennial : an account of the celebration at Warren, Pennsylvania July 2d, 3d, and 4th in commemoration of the first century after the laying out of the town of Warren.     Charles W. Stone was member of the Assembly in 1868-69, State Senator in 1877 and 1878, Lieutenant-Governor 1878 to 1880, Secretary of the Commonwealth 1887 to November 1890, when he resigned to take his seat in Congress, having been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of L. F. Watson. He has been re-elected continuously since, and is Chairman of the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures.

Later, he was twice defeated running for Governor of Pennsylvania, in 1898 and 1906.

Stone moved from Massachusetts to Warren PA in 1863 when he was 20 years old.

And this is where he lived, from November 1905 until his death in August 1912, on the corner of West Fifth Avenue and Liberty Street in Warren.

Dammit!  Christmas just went down the toilet.   Todd Sawicki, an entrepreneur in Seattle, ordered several items from Amazon on Dec. 23 and paid extra to get guaranteed delivery on Christmas Eve. On the 24th, a package arrived via U.P.S. from Amazon, and he figured it was the gifts — Legos for his son, and a bracelet and headphones for his wife. 

Far from it. Inside was a toilet repair valve he had ordered earlier.

Paying Dearly for the Privilege at the Copperas Cove Public Library

In some places, unreturned library books can mean jail time. (Appleton Post-Crescent, 12/25/2013)

No package deals.  In Copperas Cove, about 70 miles northwest of Austin, a 2002 ordinance mandates a $200 fine for each library item that goes unreturned 20 days after a written notice is sent demanding its return. If the fine isn’t paid, the municipal court issues a warrant, city spokesman Kevin Keller said. Keller said he didn’t know how many people had been jailed on library-related offenses.

It adds up to $200 per item?  Copperas Cove City Municipal Judge Bill Price told KWTX that the law which saw Enck arrested was passed almost four years ago. Its intention was to offset the cost of replacing library materials. 

According to the Christmas Day AP article, Judge, the ordinance was established in 2002.  11 years ago.  D

What do the locals think?  However, Copperas Cove residents are opposed to the law that they are forced to live under.

“Universal hatred, nobody wants to get arrested over a library book," added Judge Price. "The other side of that is people that go to our library and can’t have these materials, they’re put out too.” 

Surprisingly, library warrant arrests happen often in the tiny town.

Sidebar 2:  As a parent, I don't think I'd like it if my daughter was described "a girl the boys like to know."

Carl was the 26th most popular baby name for boys in 1930.  (Carl was in the top 30 from 1887 until 1939, a total of 53 years.  Best years:  #22 in 1894 and 1915, the latter year being when my dad Carl was born.)

Barbara Branden's Shelf-Sitter

Barbara Branden, Biographer of Ayn Rand, Dies at 84.  (The New York Times, 12/25/2013)

What it's all about?   Ms. Branden’s biography, “The Passion of Ayn Rand,” published in 1986, four years after Ms. Rand’s death at 77, was a generally admiring portrait. Baring details of a famously guarded émigré’s life, it recounted Ms. Rand’s affluent childhood in Russia, her family’s penury after the Bolshevik Revolution, her self-assurance from an early age about her own greatness, and one revelation that was a bombshell.
