Ask Joyce's Cat |
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.

"Laquin: Behind the Photos" Coming to Rialto Theatre in Canton The Bradford County Historical Society is coming to the Rialto Theatre in Canton to present the program, "Laquin: Behind the Photos," on November 7, 2009 at 1 p.m. Admission of $6.00 per person will be charged at the door. No tickets will be sold in advance. Doors will open at 12:30 p.m. Proceeds from the event will be used to cover the cost of bringing the program to Canton and will also be used to support special projects at the Bradford County Historical Society. "Laquin: Behind the Photos" is a unique program that takes the audience on a tour of the lumber town of Laquin, located on Barclay Mountain in Bradford County. Using over 100 images which are supplemented by maps, the program makes it possible for the audience to learn about the history of the town by actually seeing its buildings, factories, and people. Each photograph in the program is described during the presentation to allow participants to understand what they are viewing. Many of the images were made from glass plate negatives in the Historical Society collection. In addition, the program will also feature photographs that have been received by the society since the publication of the book, "Barclay Mountain - A History," in 2007. Many of these photos have never been in a public display. "If you have an interest in Barclay Mountain, and especially Laquin, don't miss this event," said Matthew Carl, Managing Curator at the Bradford County Historical Society, who developed the program. Carl is very familiar with the topic, having led walking tours on Barclay Mountain for the past four years. He also designed the Barclay Mountain book, and among other contributions, chose the photographs that would be published. Copies of the book, "Barclay Mountain - A History," that have been signed by the authors and designer will be on sale in the theatre lobby during the event. This will be an excellent time to pick up a copy for Christmas! This program was presented in Waverly in August and was standing room
only.Plan accordingly to ensure a seat at this event!

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.
