Above: The first of 22 display panels commemorating the 6400 graduates of Mansfield High School 1913-2009. These will be presented by Joyce M. Tice in the Museum Tent at 1890s Weekend in Mansfield September 25-26. For those of you not from Mansfield, this is the reason you've had so few new pages this summer. A BIG JOB nearing completion.

"Chinese" Proverb - The person who says it cannot be done should not
interrupt the person doing it
Enemies of truth.-- Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. from Nietzsche's Human, all too Human, s.483, R.J. Hollingdale transl. "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

See PARTITIONED search engine to search just sections
of the site. -- Below
Use the Drop Down Windowto
search selected areas of site for Obituaries and other slected information
These represent directories in the site's structure. Clipping section
includes scrapbooks of obituaries, marriages, gossip, etc. It also includes
new obits where the cemetery is not identified. The Obit by cemetery pages
are by county BUT obits may be on an obit by cemetery page OR in the Clipping
- scrapbook section. Check both. Also remember that people are often buried
in a different county than the one in which they lived or died. Another
point to be aware of is that some of the very small cemeteries that have
few obits will have the obits on the cemetery listing page. They will be
missed by this partitioned search of just the obituary directories. They
will show up on the search which covers the entire site or the burials.
If you do not click the drop down list, you will think
this is just the same form of the search engine we have had for several
years. It is NOT - It is a major enhancement of its utility which I will
develop further depending on positive feedback I do or do not get. At this
point it partitions the obituaries and cemetery listings only. While obits
are added daily, the search engine in not reindexed that frequently. Added
obituaries will only register when the search engine is reindexed.
Here is an IMPORTANT tip - If you use a DATE restriction
in your search, be aware that refers to the date I last changed a particular
page - It is a file date, NOT a date for an event.

I do not have control over when it is reindexed, so it may be
days behind any changes or additions. See Also the Partioned PICO Search
engine on the Current What's New Page to search just sections of
the site.

Your Tri-Counties site is terrific, and often the best source for obscure pictures and information about the small towns that dot Tioga & Bradford Counties.
PennDOT has historic county maps online here:

Joyce,
I also remembered an additional source of historic maps that would also include NY: http://historical.mytopo.com/
For example, here’s a 1902 map showing Lawrence Twp. in Tioga County and others south:

Well, it happened. Many might have predicted it, but now it is official. I am no longer a real person. Today I attempted to write a comment on Mansfield's Facebook page congratulating the Mansfield High School Class of 1959 on their upcoming fiftieth anniversary celebration. I have written comments before but that apparently was while I was still a real person. The message I got today is that to add my message I have to verify my account. The procedure, it explains, is to determine that only real people are writing comments by having them enter their mobil phone number. Then they will text a message confirming that your account is verified and you are a real person. Well, I don't have a mobil cell phone number. I don't need one. I had a car phone for many years from the time they first came out until I more or less retired, but I discontinued it when I found I no longer used it. For many years I was a cutting-edge technophile, but now that stage has passed and I no longer exist. I guess I am just a figment of my own imagination. Following is the message I attempted to add to Mansfield's Facebook page:
Congratulations to Mansfield High School Class of 1959 celebrating their fiftieth anniversary this weekend. Marieva Loesche, MU President, will be giving a short presentation to them on Twain Theater, and I will be showing them my Mansfield History slide show that many of you have seen at 1890s or at my museum. It includes photos from the Sesquicentennial book I co-authored and many hundreds more of Mansfield's past. I hope they have a great celebration and good weather.
Signing off, the former real person. Joyce M. Tice
PS How many more unreal people are lurking out there? Send me a note
if you are one of them..
PS again - Am I supposed to be ashamed or something because I don't
have a mobile phone number? I also do not twitter.
