C. S. d'Invilliers    Indiana County Gazette  1/5/1910
 
C. S. d'Invilliers, chief engineer of construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad 
Company's lines in Western Pennsylvania, burgess of Cresson, vice
president of the Cresson Bank, and the instigator of many improvements in and 
about Cresson, died of pneumonia at his home there on Sunday aged 68 years.
Mr. d'Invilliers was one of the famous Collins expedition that went to
Brszil for the purpose of building the Maderia & Mamore Railroad. On this
expedition, Mr. d'lnvilliers first, was principal assistant to the chief 
engineer and later was made chief.  This expedition attracted a number of 
Indiana men, several of whom are dead, one, John D. Ferguson, dying some months 
ago. Other members of the party were: George Heitner, Henry Jacoby, John Kerr, 
William Ellis, Price Hildebrand, Martin Hasinger, Edward and James Stewart, who 
went from Indiana; Harry Kinports, of Cherrytree; Freeman Wilkinson, of 
Blairsville, and James T. Young, of Johnstown.  When Mr. d'lnvilliers returned 
to America in 1879, he again entered the service of the P.R.R. and was placed 
in charge of the construction of the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad from 
Frederick Road to Ellicott City. Later he was transferred to the western part 
of the State, looking after the building of the Conemaugh Division. He was then 
placed in charge of all the lines in Western  Pennsylvania.
