Orville E. "Peanut" Borst:

Born May 3, 1931 in Alexandria, Huntingdon County, he was the son of Lewis and Esther (McCrum) Borst. He married Janet L. Robinson on June 18, 1949, in Cumberland MD. He was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Petersburg, and a former member of the Church Council. He was a member of the Mount Moriah Lodge No. 300 F&AM, Huntingdon; Valley of Altoona, AASR; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Lodge No. 976, Huntingdon; and the Juniata Valley Senior Citizens' organization in Petersburg. He attended Alexandria Public Schools as a member of the Class of 1948. In addition to being a self-employed brick mason since age 15, he was a bus contractor for the Juniata Valley School District for over 40 years, a truck driver for the former Strickler's Dairy and a plant manager for the Petersburg Water Authority for over 30 years. He enjoyed his work and was an avid sports fan. He excelled at baseball, playing for the Petersburg, Shaver's Creek, and Belleville teams in the adult league. His ever-ready smile and genuine good nature will be missed by all of us in the valley.
