HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY 843

    The Citizens Bank of Barnesboro was organized locally during the latter part of the year 1919, and opened for business on Feb. 9, 1920, in temporary quarters. As a result of the increasing demands of new business it was found necessary to secure more adequate quarters which resulted in the erection of a modern, up to date, individual banking building on the corner of Tenth Street and Philadelphia Avenue, during the year 1924. The exterior of the new building is of Indiana limestone, which gives an impression of stability and dignity. The interior of the building affords ample space for the convenience and accommodation of the ever increasing customers and friends of the bank.
    During the five years just completed the bank has enjoyed a steady growth, which has been made possible by the hearty co-operation of the stockholders and the many customers and friends who are being served by this institution. The officers of the bank are: C. A. Sharbaugh, president; E. W. Walsh, vice president; Ray E. Brown, vice president, and Ward R. Lewis, cashier. The board of directors is composed of the following men: C. A. Sharbaugh, E. W. Walsh, H. B. McMillen, L. a. Bosserman, G. R. Anderson, N. F. Lambour, Ray E. Brown, F. B. Wood, A. A. Lieb, D. J. Bougher, and N. B. McAnulty.

    Harry Goodall, one of the highly respected citizens of Cambria County, and superintendent of the Cambria Mines at Barnesboro for the past 20 years, is a native of England. He was born in Stafordshire, March 24, 1867, a son of Williams and Dinah (Swinscow) Goodall.
    William Goodall followed mining his entire life and died in 1911 at the age of 56 years, and is buried in Phillpsburg. Mrs. Goodall died in 1915 and buried in Barnesboro. They were the parents of 15 children, only four of whom are living.
    Harry Goodall was reared in England and at the age of 10 began working in the mines there. In 1885 at the age of 18 he came to America with his mother and settled at Phillipsburg, where he remained until 1894, working as a mule driver and track layer. He then came to Barnesboro and went to work in the Juniata mine as trackman, where he remained two years. In 1896 he went to the Cambria mines as trackman, was promoted to electrician, mine foreman, and later superintendent, which position he has held for the past 20 years.
