A 1851 notice states the Indiana County Council of Republican Women will host a Republican picnic at Rustic Lodge on Wednesday. A 1961 item lists eight Indiana County Scouts and Explorers under T.A.

A 1971 note from Saltsburg reports Conemaugh Township may lack police protection for the year as police funds are exhausted and any overspending must be paid from supervisors’ pockets.
