     Canal Travel Rates
     
     It  took  four  days to travel some 394 miles from Pittsburgh  to
     Philadelphia.   The  cost of this trip was  $7  per  person  plus
     meals.
     
     The  price of freight on the canals was considerably cheaper than
     freight by wagon.  In the year 1853 the price of freight  on  the
     canal  was  about  3  cents per ton while  the  cost  of  freight
     traveling  on  wagons was 15 cents per ton.  Added to  the  wagon
     rate  was  the cost of staying at coach inns, which was  anywhere
     from $3 to $7 a night, plus meals.

     REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
     I  am looking for information about the Brody family who lived in
     East  Vandergrift in the 1920's to 1936, when they  were  flooded
     out.
     The  original name was Bardowski, which was changed to Brody. The
     father  was  Thomas or Timofej, the mother was Domina  and  there
     were 3 children, Mary, Catherine, and Harry. Domina died in 1927.
     Mary had 2 children James & Eleanor.
     I  wonder if any one remembers or has any information about  this
     family. Thank you, Diana
