We at Ellwood City Memories felt that our little town has such a great past, it needs to be celebrated rather than only remembered by a select few. This web site is dedicated to remember our history with great pictures of Ellwood City, PA past and present along with the stories behind them to share with other generations the grand history of our town. Ellwood City Memories is a place where we can share our fond memories and photos, recall something we haven’t thought about in years, and maybe even learn something we did not know before.
If you have any pictures or stories about any of the pictures posted that you would like to share please email us at info@ellwoodcitymemories.com All pictures and stories will be credited to the owner. Questions you may have about the history of Ellwood City can be emailed to us and we will post the question under History’s Mysteries. Thank you Please sign the Guestbook

Please Do Not Throw Away
When you are cleaning out the house this year, we ask you to please do not throw away any pictures. If you were planning to get rid of pictures, please toss them into a box or bag and we will come get them. Pictures you may think no one would be interested in may hold a piece of history. What could just be a picture of a parade to you might hold the key to our past in the background. We have already come across similar pictures where some might not notice the stores in the background but they are the only picture we have of stores that are no longer in business. This is especially true today as we still do not have any pictures of G.C. Murphy, J.C. Penny, Barnes Theatre, and many more.
If you see your neighbor getting a dumpster, please mention to them that we would like to have any picture they plan to throw away also.

TRYING TO FIND…
I recently have gotten an email from Paige Patton Broxson asking for assistance.
I am the adopted daughter of Frederick W Patton II, the son of Fred and Mary Patton. I stumbled upon this site looking for info on the Mary Evans Materinty Hospital birth records. I am so pleased to find this info. You just don’t know how much this means to me. Both of Bill’s children, Dorothy and Billy died in 2010. That makes me the only living child of FW Patton II and Muriel Schlemmer Patton, who is also deceased. Bill died when I was only 3 years old. I am trying to find out info on him and what he contributed to the city. I have to this day never known who my birth parents are. My name when I was born was Cathy Jo Speilman, born July 7, 1954. Please help if you can. Any info is more than I have now. Thank You! Paige Patton Broxson
