When Ed and Susannah were first married, they had a home on Boone Mountain on the border of Elk, Jefferson, and Clearfield Counties. The old foundation is still there, although the homestead has grown up to be deep forest now. Down the road about a mile, also in deep woods, is the Bish cemetery containing about 25 graves. It is very old, the last known burial taking place in 1936.
