The following information contains a brief history of Rowes Run including Pictures and information on Grindstone, Pennsylvania. It is divided into sections on the history of each town, pictures of the mines, family members who worked at these mines, and local buildings.  With a few exceptions, these are pictures taken by my father, James Seksay during the 1930's and 1940's.

At the Rowes Run Memorial section, we have pictures of unidentified soldiers.   Actually, we  have many unidentified people. If you recognize anyone, send an email and we will update with their names and any stories you would like to share.

The Families section contains pictures of family groups that lived in Rowes Run.  We are hoping to add to this collection.  If your family lived in Rowes Run and you would like to participate, please email me.

Then look for the link on the left for family stories & read the Nagy/Kerezsi Family story.  They immigrated from Hungary soon after 1910 ending up in Rowes Run. The brothers and sisters have shared their family story, and Paul Kerezsi shares a thorough description of Rowes Run and Buffington.
