Excerpts from _Old and New Westmoreland_: "Orrin L. Cribbs, who for the past fifteen years has been the efficient and capable freight agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Greensburg, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, is a member of a family which has for a number of generations been prominent in the State. He is a son of George Washington Cribbs, who was born on the old Cribbs homestead in West Wheatfield township, Indiana county, Pennsylvania, where he passed his life and was a prominent man in the community. Mr. Cribbs, Sr., was born April 28, 1840, and was brought up a farmer's boy of the pioneer type, as the community where his childhood and youth were spent was at that time very wild and undeveloped. He learned the blacksmith's trade with his father, and later located at Oil City, Pennsylvania, where he conducted a machine shop for a company until the year 1861. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted as a private in Company A, Eighty-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served actively throughout the course of that long and sanguinary struggle. He was captured at the battle of Fredericksburg and kept a prisoner for some time by the Confederates, but was finally released." |
