michael AND
isaac BLUE

The action of the court in legally
abandoning the old cemetery on Bloom
street has awakened a great deal of
inquiry to determine how many there
may be among the many hundreds
that are buried there who in their day
and generation were prominent in the
affairs of the community and by their
labors earned grave that should en-
dure beyond the brief span embraced
by the years in which they have slept
in the old cemetery.
There is scarcely day but the bur-
ial plot of some well-known family of
the past comes to light The latest
to claim attention is the one opposite
Upper Mulberry street on which lie
buried Michael Blue, a Revolutionary
soldier, and his son, Captain Isaac
Blue, who organized the "Danville
Blues, an organization which took
part in the war of'1S12. Arrangements
are being made for the removal of both
of these graves.
Michael Blue, born on November z,
1749, was native of New Jersey.
Early in life he settled in Valley
township, then Columbia county He
was the father of Captain Isaac Blue,
W ho lies buried by his side. A large
family of descendants reside in this
section, among whom is Commission
ers Clerk Horace @. Blue, great
grandson and grandson respectively of
Michael Blue and Captain Isaac Blue.
Horace Blue has among other time
stained documents relating to his
great grandfather pension certificate,
which is one of the very few of such
documents relating to Revolutionary
claim that are extant today. The GER
tificate, which bears the date of
March 10, 1888, and is signed by
. Lew Cass, Secretary of War, sets
forth that Michael Blue was priv
ate in the army of the Revolution and
is entitled to receive Uwenty-six dol
lars and fifty-seven cents per annum
during his natural life, commencing
March /, 1881, and payable semi-an-
nually on March 4th and September
18th in every year.
Michael Blue, however, died on
February IA, 1888, over two months
before his pension paper arrived.

Revolutionary soldier that have de-
scended TO Horace Blue is an anci ent
and time-worn copy of Whitefeld's
sermons, which, according to a mem
orandum on the fly leaf entered in the
owners own hand writing, was pur-
chased November Il. 1903, at the store
Of William Montgomery, which oc-
cupied the present site of the Montour
House.
The Danville Blues, of which Isaac
Blue was captain, was in active ser.
at Black Rock where it suf-
fered severely from malignant fever.
In the company were Jacob Sechler,
Samuel Yorks, John Mccoy, Edward
Morrison, Herbert w Best and Isaac
Blue.
Michael and Isaac Blue, father and
son, were worthy compeers of Will
lam and Daniel Montgomery. Captain
Jacob Gearhart. Robert Curry and
others who amid the privations of
pioneer life laid the foundation of a
rich and prosperous community and
whose bodies along with those of the
two former were laid away in the
same spot, Gods acre, then sacred

lapse of many years due to the changes
that come with time is no longer re-

going on steadily, will no doubt re-

as it relates to the old cemetery on
