We would appreciate reference assistance from some one with a larger
collection in place name and/or Pennsylvania history materials.  A faculty
member is researching the borough of Orbisonia, Huntington County, in Pa.
He would like the basics: date founded, origin of name (Orbison family?),
early industry (coal? iron?).  We have found nothing in the two place name
books on Pa. that we have, or in a dozen or so Pa. histories we have searched.
(We have no Pa. county histories, unfortunately.)
 
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
