d. unknown, No reference at all; m. FRENCHY; b. Abt. 1725, m Lancaster
Co,Pa.
Notes for JOSEPH SPALDING SCHNELL:
1908 Murray's book,Pg 240 This is the Only reference to
a Joseph, from Jennie F Snell's published sketches of family
history: Joseph
(Snell,Schnell or Cornell) emigrated from Germany to Lancaster Pa where
he married a French
wife, and removed
to Easton or vicinity.
2004,Sept LDS web site. International Genealogical Index/Germany
There are 10 Josephus Schnell's and 4 Josef
Schnell's b before 1730.
In the ancestral file there is one Joseph Schnell b 1776 in Leitenheim,Elsass
2004 The Pa Archives are on-line. I have spent hours searching SE Pa,
Lancaster & Northampton Co's. There is NO
Joseph Schnell, Snell,Shnell.
It would be interesting if someone has Jennie Snell's articles or drafts
to check the
original source of 'Joseph'.
My thought is that Jennie heard the story of Joseph because of Joseph Spalding,
second husband of Anna Margaret
Ozias. The Snell boys are all very young when Jacob died. Joseph Spalding,
step father, could have
been in their stories.
2005, Feb. There are several mysteries on Pg 240. As Jennie lists
Cornell in her article, it seems she is not clear at all
on the SE Pa history of
Jacob, but there is some hidden truth to most family stories. Maybe the
Lancaster reference
came form Jennies knowledge of
the 1723 Palatine migration from NY to Lancaster Co down the Susquehanna
River. It is not a likely migration
from Lancaster to Easton, and several Schnell's are in Smithfield Twsp
by 1757.
Also Jennie's husband is a grandson,
and his father John b 1782 was only 8 yrs old when Jacob died in 1790.
It
appears he was raised by Henry
Snell (1800 census). So there is a good chance that the history of Jacob
in SE Pa
is sketchy. In my own Mingos line,
my father knew nothing of his g-grandfather. I now have discounteed the
two
Jacob's b 1744 &1753 because
of the marriage records. No peice of data indicates he immigrated. There
is no deed
in Smithfield Twsp for Jacob -
only taxes.Adam sold all 240 acres by 1782. This may be why Jacob
went up river to
find land in Bradford Co. His
first child George, is 16 or over in the 1790 census - indicating that
his parents married
in the early 1770's. The second
known child Henry was b 1777.

1797 A Mrs. Elmer Snell Storelii says"Jacob was b in Stroudsburg
and enlisted under Gen John Sullivan at
Philadelphia" , but
there was another Jacob Snell in the Rev - a musician in the
4th Regt Continental Troops
of Col Thos Proctor,
paid until 1797, who d in 1805.
2004 the LDS ancestor file incorrectly assigns this b1744 date &
musician reference to the Athens Jacob Snell.
4. ABRAHAM2 SCHNELL (GERMAN1 SCHNELLS) was born Abt. 1727 in 1761
1st taxes of Lower Smithfield, and
died Abt. 1774 in Smithfield Twsp, NA Co.
Notes for ABRAHAM SCHNELL:
1751 immigrated into Phila ship Edinburgh. Thus b about 1727.
But if there is any candidate for Jacob Snell of Athens,
it might be the child
of this Abraham who is in the 1761 taxes of Smithfield Twsp with Adam.
The name repeats in
Athens several generations,
and in the Rev militia from Northampton. He would have had
two children, Jacob mid
1750's & Abraham
abt 1759.
1757,Jun 20 Adam Snell's dau is Indian prisoner and killed because
of a wounded leg. Men came in wagons about last
May 2 from Plainfield
Twsp to assist inhabitants of Lower Smithfield who were burned out by Indians.
This is 19
years after Adam's
immigration. Pg 47, Abstracts Vol One Anderson.
These Schnells (Abraham
& Adam) are together in Lower Smithfield Twsp. This is 20 miles
N of Easton, so not
settled much before
this. Became part of Monroe Co in 1836. It is in the area of
Portland to Stroudsburg. Conrad
Menges b 1777 was
in Lower/Upper Mt Bethal from 1798-1817. Candace Anderson
1761, Lower Smithfield Twp, Northampton Co,Pa ABRAHAM & Adam
Shnell taxed - 4 # ea Pg 131&113 Anderson.
Adam ultimately
had 240 acres at his death. They must be sharing the land. It seems

McDowells, and by them directed
to their new home".
1784 Jacob came from Stroudsburg in the spring."The journey was
made in a canoe, containing the family and
their
belongings, which included a sheep or two and some poultry". A homestead
was selected on the West
side of the
Chemung River, opposite Tioga Point . He built a log cabin, being the 1st
settler in Athens Twsp.

is copied in most of the Brad Co histories. After May 26, 1784 Militia

1788 Murray book, Pg 437 There was an "Upper Battalion" Pa Militia,
8 companies of males 18-45. Jacob was abt age
33 so he should be
in this outfit. Members had to equip themselves and drills were held once
a month.
1793 Chemung ,NY a biography of George Baldwin Snell written abt 1888
says " Jacob was twice married and reached a
venerable age". This
is likely Anna Margaret Oziah Snell Spalding, who remarried in abt 1793
1795 The map of Old Tioga Point , Murray book pg 303, shows a John
Snell at N'18 across the road from Jacob Snell
1784. This map was
made by NF Walker about 1900. It is likely one of the properties that Anna
Margaret Snell
Spalding acquired.
By 1891 Bradsby History this property was in the name of John Snell b 1782
.
1908 Murray's book, Pg 240 from sketches of Mrs Jennie
F Snell;
"Jacob Snell was the son of Joseph (Snell Schnell or Cornell) who emigrated
from Germany to Lancaster ,Pa
where he married a French wife, and removed to Easton or vicinity. (No
date). Jacob came up the river in a
boat with his wife and 5 children....'. ( These boys likely were George,Henry,Jacob,Daniel
and John).
I looked at Lancaster Co index's and did not find a Joseph Schnell. Also
I went thru Rupp's 30,000 immigrants
again and did not find Joseph, in fact the given name of Joseph is uncommon
in the German names. I recently
found the Pa Archives on-line, and guess what? NO Joseph Schnell,Snell,
or Shnell at all? see the family file
on Joseph
Spaulding Schnell for my opinion.
Jacob Snell came that year from
Stroudsburg, on the Delaware river,(Murray pg 239 says"poled up the river")
and on the 5th of July his son Abraham was born, believed to have been
the first white child born within the limits of
the present township. It was in the fall of this year that the conference
was held with the Indians by William Maclay,
and the consideration for the purchase of land, made the previous
year at Fort Stanwix, was paid. About this time, or
early in 1785, William Miller, Daniel Moore, Christopher Hurlburt,
Mason Carey, and Eldad Kellogg settled near Patterson,
on the east side, and commenced to cultivate the soil. They had no
title whatever, but hoped to acquire one by possession.
Capt. John Snell (militia
or war?) once said that the first house built between the rivers was of
logs, and built by
a Dutchman named Andreas Budd. It is probable that Budd was brought
here for that purpose by Mr. Hollenback, and
built for him buildings necessary for his trading establishment.
In 1789 he purchased a ten-acre lot on the point, and in
1793, Col. Franklin conveyed to him village lot No. 40. In 1795, Budd
conveyed both these tracts to Elisha Mathewson,
and left the country. In the year 1784, John Shepard was also
here as a clerk for Mr. Hollenback, but did not remain
permanently until the year 1786. Copied from Craft History on

According to a sketch published by Mrs. Jennie F. Snell, they were across
the river from the cabin of Andreas Budd.
"The Snells found a few Indian families on the Point and scattered
along the river bank above them, probably Sapoonies
or Tuteloes. They were friendly, however, especially the squaws,
who were frankly curious as to the belongings of the
family, even the clothing. They were very covetous of the
cooking utensils, whose use they understood. One squaw in
particular frequently borrowed an iron pot, which, with other cumbersome
utensils, was kept on a bench outside the cabin.
One day she was told it could not be spared, but when a little
later Mrs. Snell wished to use it, the kettle was
missing. The squaw was rapidly paddling her canoe across the
river, but when she saw Mrs. Snell she stood up, with
the kettle in her hand, and called gleefully, 'Me pottie, me pottie.'
This clever trick so amused the owner, that, for
harmony's sake, the coveted pot was left in the squaw's possession."

that Anna Margaret Snell bought land from Noah Murray
in the township of Athens - date of deed Feb. 19, 1793; recorded Oct.
1, 1793 in Athens Township. She paid
25 pounds. The land was described as being in the township of
Athens, "lot number eighteen formerly laid out to Oliver
Bigelow. on the West side of Tioga Branch where the heirs of the said
Jacob Snell now live"
Same, p. 401 indicates jointure between Joseph Spalding and Anna Margaret
Snell, signed Sept. 12, 1793 and recorded Oct. 1,
1793. "Whereas the aforesaid Joseph Spalding and Anna Margaret
Snell have covenanted together and agreed

It is curious that George appears first in the 1796 taxes. German naming

We were received in a hospitable manner by A. A. Snell and family at
their pleasant Milan home, on the banks of the
gentle Susquehanna, and were entertained in a most edifying manner.
Mr. Snell is extensively engaged in farming, and
conducts his fruitful acres in a skillful manner. He has supplied himself
with all of the improved appliances and has large
and conveniently arranged barns. He carries a choice dairy of blooded
stock, together with young stock. Fine young
horses of the Hambletonian stock are found upon the place. For
some years Mr. Snell engaged in the mercantile business
at Athens. He is a son of John Snell, late of Athens township,
and a grandson of Jacob Snell, claimed to be the first settler
at Tioga Point. John Snell is a Captain in Craft's History. This
paragraph is repeated in the April 2,1885 REPORTER
-JOURNAL under Ulster township.
Mr. Snell married Miss Jennie F. Davies, a daughter of T. R. Davies,
of Athens, in 1851. She has attained considerable
eminence as literary character, and is known in her writings
as "Jennie F. Snell." Mrs. Snell, fortunately, began laying
up a fund of knowledge early in life that has proved of great
value to her. Being of a quick and retentive memory, an early
lover of history and poetry, she stored her mind with the things
indispensable to an entertaining and successful writer.
Mrs. Snell has a very free entertaining style, that is beautified
by the proper use of adjectives, being almost flowery.
At the age of fifteen years, Mrs. Snell began teaching, and continued
to do so for a number of years. In the meantime she
instructed in vocal and instrumental music. When young, Mrs. Snell
began writing for the local papers, and after maturer
years wrote an occasional article for a more important journal.
The readers of the Towanda Journal and Republican will
remember her articles. She has contributed much to the Elmira
Advertiser, Sunday Tidings, and Phrenological Journal,
the Weekly Ithacan, the Illustrated Christian Weekly, the Golden
Censer and others. For some of her contributions she is
well paid. Mrs. Snell has a natural taste for historical writings,
and has given more especial attention to history and
science since 1876.
Mrs. Snell is also a poetess, and has an interesting collection of poems,
which would make a valuable volume. Some of
the hymns found in "Great Joy," are from Mrs. Snell’s pen. Mrs. Snell
inherits her abilities from her mother, who was a
lady of fine natural abilities, and of literary attainments.
She wrote ably and well, and contributed to various journals. Just
prior to her death she contributed to "Great Joy." Mr. Davies
was also a man of learning, and gave much attention to
scientific subjects. At present Mrs. Snell is unable to give the people
the fruit of her pen, being unable to use her hand,
suffering with inflamatory rheumatism.

This place was next above the

On the places next above were Joseph and Lockwood Smith, brothers,
from Westchester county, N. Y., who are
mentioned in connection with the history of the Baptist church Of Ulster
and Athens. The Anthony estate is the farm of
Joseph, and Abraham Snell lives on the Lockwood Smith property.
Ezekiel Curry lived on the farm which belonged to
the late Col. C. F. Welles' estate, his log house standing near
where a brown house afterwards stood on this farm. He had a
son, Ezekiel, Jr. Mr. Minier, who has been mentioned in connection

Notes for SAMUEL SNELL:
1784 Samuel is likely not one of the 5 children in the canoe.
1810 census shows a Samuel as 16-26 , which would be born abt 1785
or later. The census page says LYCOMING Co,
and part of Brad Co was
taken from there, the rest from LUZERNE Co. He has 1 female 10-16. This
could be a
16 yr old wife. Also
is shown a female 45 yrs & up.
1812 He doesn't vote. But Taxables over 21 yrs - Samuel Snell

Co reveal a confusing
set of births to a Samuel and Elizabeth Snell.
1913 Heverly none of the Brad Co histories say anything about
Samuel, only that 5 of Jacob's sons survived,
plus the 1796 reference
to George.
SNELL - I would like to submit the following query concerning the SNELL,
VAN LOON, and AUSTIN families of
Bradford County. This Tri Co Web site query does not fit logically
with the Athens boys.
George
SNELL settled near Athens, Pa - I have conflicting information about where
he was born, Holland or
Germany. I need to know when and where he was born, who his parents
were, information on his wife, death date.
George's son, Samuel SNELL (1782-1869) married Susannah VAN LOON in
Plymouth PA. She was born in 1794.
I need her parents, where she was born, death date. Merintha
AUSTIN, born c. 1849 in Wallsville, married Winfield
D. SNELL around 1871. I need more specific information about their
marriage. Also, who were her parents, what were
her exact birth and death dates? griffith@mail.presby.edu (Nancy

Notes for GEORGE BALDWIN SNELL:
1888,abt - the History of Chemung Co indicates that George grew
small grains. "has 8 acres planted to tobacco, and
keeps a number of
fine cows for dairy purposes, having about 80 qts of milk /day. He has
grown from 12 to 15
hundred pounds of
tobacco /acre". The Baldwin area is on the NW edge of Chemung. The
below Chemung article
misstates about Jacob Snell,
paternal grandfather. Likely it is Anna Margaret Oziah Snell Spalding who
remarried Joseph Spalding
abt 1793 and lived a long life. From: "Ronda" <rsavey2000@y...>
Date: Thu Dec 9,
2004 8:08 pm Subject:
George B. Snell Bio:o).
George B. Snell, who is numbered among the leading agriculturists and
stockraisers of Chemung County, was born on
the farm where he now resides, his natal day being November 16, 1820,
his parents being Henry and Catherine
(Beidelman) Snell. His father was born in Pennyslvania, April 12, 1777,
and his mother was a native of this
county, born September 14, 1778. Both passed away at an advanced age.
The paternal grandfather of our subject spent
the greater part of his active business life in Athens, Pennsylvania.
He was twice married and reached a venerable age.
Henry Snell removed from Athens to Chemung when a young man and purchased
land in the valley. Later he purchased
the farm upon which our subject now resides, becoming the owner of
that tract about 1813. There he carried on general
farming and was a most industrious and energetic man. His political
support was given the Whig party, and he was an
attendant on the services of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He died
June 11, 1852, and his wife passed September 30,
1862. In their faimly were seven children, all of whom reached mature
years: Jacob, who was born in Athens April 26,
1801, died November 26, 1861; Elizabeth, born in Athens June 27, 1803,
has also departed this life; Mary, born
September 13, 1805, is deceased; Samuel B. born in Athens November
14, 1808, died January 3, 1857; Gordon, born in
Chemung November 16, 1812, is also deceased; Harriet, born in Chemung
June 26, 1816, died December 27, 1854; and
George B. completes the family.
George Baldwin Snell was reared to manhood on the old home farm and
pursued his education in the district schools.
Throughout his entire life he has followed general farming, and to-day
he owns and occupied a part of the old homestead.
He has one hundred and sixty acres of land, the greater part of which
is under a high state of cultivation, bringing to the
owner a golden tribute in return for his labor. He raises small grains,
has eight acres planted to tobacco and keeps a
number of fine cows for dairy purposes, having about eighty quarts
of milk per day. He has grown from twelve to
fifteen hundred pounds of tobacco per acre.
On the 24th of December, 1851, Mr. Snell married Lemira Parshall, who
was born in Chemung township August 27, 1826
a daughter of Asa and Susanna (Keeney) Parshall. Her father was born
on Long Island March 26 1770 and his wife was
born in Hartford Connecticut, March 5, 1781. The former was a son of
Israel and Ruth (Howell) Parshall, the former born
in New York in 1736, and the latter in 1733. He died February 18,1827,

1898,Sept 1 m.to Fred Mingos Bradford Reporter 9/8/1898
in Chemung, by Rev S B Kieney
1898,Oct 5 Mrs. Fred Mingos spent a few days at her home in Chemung,
NY - Bradford Republican
1905 Built and moved into what is now 310 Main St. Monroeton
numbered the houses after Margaret's
fire in 1976. The
fire dept went to 310 Main St first, before going to the apartment on North
Main.
1920 Census Leah's mother, Alice W Snell - a widow, is in Monroeton.This
3 bedroom house is crowded.
1920's According to Vera , Leah would tie up Carl in a high chair and
go over to the railway station to
help Fred . Henry was living at home and working as cashier at the Towanda
station. I have a copy of a
postcard at the railway station with Fred,Leah and Henry in behind large
stacks of egg crates.
1933 Monroeton Bank closed. I presume Fred and Leah
also lost some money
1936 Leah broke her arm, and was banged up in the accident
that happened on the way to see Fred at the
Waverly
Hospital.
1936 After Fred died , there was a requirement that Leah co-sign Henry
& Margaret's mortgage on the
3rd house from the feed mill. According to Vera, Leah wouldn't co-sign,
and the house was lost.
They moved, with John, into 310 Main St . 1939 Leah was the executor
of Fred's estate.
1940's Leah occupied the front bedroom - she went
away for years at a time, being a personal, practical
nurse . I do remember playing casino cards in the front room, and sometimes
she was in the swing on
the front porch , as we cared for MARGARET'S CARD SHOP after school. The
SHOP was sold in late
summer of 1949 to Jake Housenick. In that front room I acquired a shaped
tobacco pipe of Fred's.
1949,Aug On the front porch, Leah gave me for my birthday (Carl
bought it), a King cornet. In Sept in a
horn competition with Jamie McPherson I won 1st seat in the Towanda HS
band. In 1968 in
Washington,DC I sold the horn for $50. to Dick Wilson for his son.
1949,Aug John was sick with that Phila disease later
called Legioneers. Leah was accused of something,
and we moved to Towanda - for 16 years.
1950's Leah did a 6 month stay in Lawrence,Ka that didn't work
out well. By the 1950's she had a private
room on the top floor of the Jennings Nursing home. She was able
to work in the home, and
entertained in a rocking chair . I remember her giving me several little
items in an act of good will.
1963 Leah's will left everything to Henry!
1964 Jeanine took her for a ride to an antique shop in
Burlington. Apparently she was in good mental
condition , and she bought Jeanine a small piece . I have no idea if she
had any income like a
railroad pension. Probably not even SSI, or social security.
1965 There was a fire at 310 Main, which was occupied by
renters. It was bad enough that the kitchen,
which was an addition to the original house, and sat 6" lower than the
original building, was
completely rebuilt. The exit to the southside yard was done away with.
After the rebuilding Margaret
and Henry moved back to Monroeton!
1967,Aug 7 Admission to Brad Co Home
1968,April 5 Monroeton Woman Dies at 91 Towanda Daily Review

Nursing Home until 1962.She was a member of the Monroeton Presbyterian
Church. Funeral services

1968,April 7 Henry and Margaret came from Daytona Beach, Fla and stopped
in Potomac, Md
with son John
and Jeanine. They encouraged me not to come up to Monroeton for the funeral!
Apparently there was
a written document asking no one to be in the cemetery for the burial?
Carl ,Vera Margaret
and Henry stood on the front porch of 310 Main and watched from a distance.

1936,Oct 26 Towanda Daily Review F.E.Mingos of Monroeton
Dies Veteran Station Agent Passes Away at
Hospital in Waverly Fred
E Mingos resident of Monroeton, passed away last evening at the Tioga General
Hospital in Waverly,NY. He had been a patient
there for the past two weeks and was thought to be recovering
nicely from the operation. Most of yesterday
members of his family were with him and were encouraged by
the progress he appeared to be making. Late
in the evening, however, Mr Mingos suffered a relapse, the end
coming quickly. ( He had an operation for
ulcers.He was flat on his back,medical practice at the time, and died
of a blood clot).
" Fred Mingos was born in Monroeton
and was considered one of the highly respected residents of that
community. For the past 30(38) years
he was Lehigh Station Agent at Monroeton, also serving the New Albany
station of late.The survivors are his wife,
who was injured in an auto accident in-route to the hospital to see
her husband soon after his admission ( Margaret
hit a narrow bridge on the way North) : two sons, Henry E,
who is employed at the Humphrey Lumber Yards
here, and Carl, who is a student at Mansfield State Teachers
College.The funeral arrangements will be announced
later".
My pencil notes from Vera
-" Leah was placed in hospital all banged up, broken arm.Margaret had a
broken
finger. John had a bruise across his stomach. Margaret
got some insurance money."
1936-9 Leah was Exec & Admin for Fred Fred was
a life member of the Presbyterian Church in Monroeton.
As a result, Henry took Margaret there, and John went to Sunday school
there for a short while.

estate to his wife Leah M, after which it was to go to his sons
Henry E and Francis Carl equally". But Leah lived until 1968 and
wrote a new will in 1963.
1975 Margaret Mingos donated Fred's and Henry's masonic jewels
to Evergreen Lodge . In turn they were
on display
at the Brad Co Hist Soc exhibit.
2003 Fred broke the chain of family history. At age 15 he was at Alonzo's
funeral and knew where he was buried.
He also knew
all the Mingos deaths in the early 1900's. He did NOT pass this along to
Henry?

Notes for HENRY EDWARD MINGOS:
"My dad is gone now and I hope he is at peace for he worked long and hard
for his family"
" Your dad had a host of friends.We did not go around socially, because
I didn't belong to the
clubs. But I enjoyed talking to him. He always had a story - talked loudly.
I enjoyed him!"
David Gamzon 7/11/1984 age 69 working at Memorial
Park
"I
was so impressed with him - how would you like to come down here
with me and learn the lumber
business?. I do not recall ever any unpleasant words passing between us.
He meant a great deal to
me in so many ways - so many happy years with one of the finest persons
I have ever known".
Edward Overton Sept 15,1972

WW1 ended Nov
11, 1918 Armistice. Towanda Consolidated Lehigh Valley Railroad &

1925, Dec There is a picture of a dinner-dance at Shores Inn,
Rt 6 from the collection of J E Meredith in the January 11, 2005
Towanda paper that
says that Mr & Mrs Mingos are in the picture. An email from Steve
Moore, Moores Auto, says
on the back of the
picture - standing from left to right, 2nd & 3rd persons Henry &
Margaret Mingos.
Margaret must
have been visiting Monroeton for the holidays - they weren't m until August
1926.
1926,Mar 2 H E Mingos of Monroeton purchases a new
car.
1926,Aug 17 m. Margaret Delphine Hart
in Wilkes-Barre. Best man was Harold Williams. Henry rode the
train
to Wilkes-Barre. He also visited with Peg in the summers at Lake George,NY
and Atlantic City.
On their
honeymoon they took a train trip to Buffalo and Chicago!
1927,April 30 Monroeton Dramatic Club is presenting
"Married Life". Members of the cast are Henry E
Mingos,
Mrs. Henry Mingos, plus eight others. To be presented in the new Wesly
Hall.
1929 Sayre, Westbound yard of Lehigh Valley RR - billclerk
1929 Towanda , baggage master. Master of Evergreen Lodge
No 163
1929 " Henry came into Ed Overton's office to collect the Lehigh
Valley RR freight bills. In a moment or so
he accepted ( the job), and thus began a long business association".
This was very hard work. He opened the
yard at
7:00 am and worked a 6 day week until after WW2. This may have been before
the stock market crash
of Oct
1929. In 1945 I would leave my bicycle at the yard while going to 10 cent
Saturday western movies.
1936,Oct 25 Fred dies - this is upsetting. Leah would not co-sign the
mortgage on the 3rd house from the feed mill.
Henry, Margaret
& John move into 310 Main St prob by xmas 1936. Carl coming home from
Mansfield would
have disrupted
sleeping arrangements. John was occupying his bedroom.
1940's Every summer he would take us to the Wheelerville camp, and we
would pick baskets of
huckleberries , some for resale (.15 cents /qt) at the grocery store. By
the late 1940's I don't remember
Henry going hunting at all, but he did take me trout fishing and bass fishing.
When I was about 14 yrs
old we went to Canada for a week fishing. Later in the summer of
1952 Rueben Cronshee invited me
to go with Tom Kohn on the same trip to Canada. He worked the Sunday
newspapers at Margaret's
Card Shop. Once on a windy day, he had to come save the day - I had papers
blowing everywhere.
He was always squeezing out $ by projects, ie blueberries, Sun. papers,
tax loss on Margaret's Card
Shop, club Secretaries which he got paid a minimal amount.
1944 WW2 He was an airplane spotter on Sundays,
his only day off. And of course,he had a Victory Garden
On the Aircraft Warning Observer Card he is listed as 6' 2" and 205 pds
1940's Reluctantly he drove us to a lot of Hart family gatherings,
North Lake, Dallas, and Wilkes-Barre.
1945 Summer Somehow Henry arranged for me to
attend Camp Brule as a Lone Scout. I had been doing
some scout work in Presbyterian Hall, Monroeton. Maybe it folded? Anyway
I was treated special!
1946,Nov Henry acquired 4 tickets for the Army-Navy football
game in Veterans Stadium , Phila. He invited
my cousin Paul Beers to join us, and WOW!, what a game. 21-18 Blanchard
and Davis for Army and
Pistol Pete Williams for Navy. It is listed now as one of the greatest
college games ever! Navy ran
out of time on the one foot line? As I write this on Jan 19,2003 the last
game ever was played
today in that stadium-Tampa Bay wins over Phila Eagles.
1948, summer Henry coached (managed) our junior Monroeton
baseball team. We were very good. One year
our record was 22-4. John pitched- won 11 games. He drove Chuck Rubert
and I to Bloomsburg for a major
league tryout with the Phil. Athletics.
1948,Dec He took the first vacation I remember and drove
us all the way to Key West,Fla. I think it was a
1946 Chevrolet, and we got back in time for me to start as center on the
JV basketball team.
I never remember my Dad letting my mother drive.
1949, sum He co--managed with Earl Brown and we entered a baseball
team in the Tri-County league.
Halfway to Powell they leveled a woods area and made a ballfield where
my Dad said there used
to be one years before. Whatever happened, I played again for
the Browns the summer of 1953 on
Browns Hill -my last baseball game in August versus Towanda.The game was
forfeited - Earl
Brown gave the umpire a concusion. I hitchhiked to Wallingford, Vt afterward
to work as a
lifeguard at Shawnee Leadership Institute
1949,Sept They moved to York Ave ,Towanda then to Chestnut
St second floor apt. by 1950. As late as 1956
they were still there. After that they moved to a house on River St.
1950,Feb Humphrey Lumber Yards sold to Valley Lumber Company.
(Ed Flynn, William Fitzgerald and Henry
had two shares (tiebreaker). Ed Overton, owner, retired to Cal. I
worked as a hand there in summer of 1951.
It just about did me in. He hired my classmates. Ruth Remsnyder was
a bookkeeper, Jim Ross did a
summer tour in 1952, and later Chuck Rubert worked there full time! What
a guy my dad was!
1950, April 18 William Fitzgerald ,Sr is killed in an auto accident
at a bridge in Waverly . Dorothy continued as co-
owner of the Lumber
Yards. As an aside Billy told me he and his mother joined the Presbyte
