  E. B. MAHAFFEY, cashier of the Madera National Bank of Madera, Pa., is one 
of the younger business men of this place and his whole business experience

  John Mahaffey was born in Clearfield county but died in Indiana county,

and wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Hillsdale.
  E. B. Mahaffey was educated in the public schools of his native county and
