Ever pass an old home and get the feeling something terrible happened in it. Well your feelings are right if you passed this one in Indiana County Pa.

 I use to drive a customers box truck and make a delivery for him  almost every Friday or Saturday in the summer from Pittsburgh to Altoona for almost 20 years. 

In doing so I often took US422 thru Indiana County and would pass this old house. sometimes when i took a shortcut off US422 in Strongstown

 

Its been sitting empty forever and is badly deteriorated and yes it has a History a Bad one.

 In May the 5th of 1928  The son of Nanty Glos Police chief and 2 associates  planned on robbing the owner of the home . of his moonshine

The chiefs son ended up killing the old farmer Frank Carney  with a blow to the head with his fathers Black jack  after luring him out to the barn thinking his cattle where in some kind of distress .

all 3 where found and tried and given  life sentences  

The property is watched by neighbors and trespassers will be prosecuted.
