names of the women that the history books seldom considered, and the place of

came when established. Some of the tax records, that would demonstrate that, are
missing. This immigrant section is in draft mode subject to change. |

Joe McConnell honored - May 2008 Wellsboro Gazette
Well known musician Joe McConnell has been named the Max Colegrove Citizen
of the Year for 2008 by the Mansfield Chamber.
The award dinner is set for Thursday, June 5 at the Mansfield Fire Hall.
Tickets at $15 are available at The Pennysaver, Photos by Dart, Northwest
Savings Bank and First Citizens Bank.
McConnell was an amateur big band leader for many years, with appearances
throughout New York State and Pennsylvania. He is also well known as a keyboard
player for "Spare Parts" and trumpet player with the "X-Ray Big Band." He is a
member of the "Catlin Hollow Brass."
Born in Buffalo, NY, McConnell attended Cornell University for two years,
studying mechanical engineering, before leaving in March of 1943 to join the
U.S. Army Air Corps as an aviation cadet. Graduating as a second lieutenant,
McConnell went overseas as a bomber pilot, flying B-25s on 23 combat missions.
County Commissioner Candidate [Spring 1959]
Mr. Barry O. Hafer of Sullivan Township, Mansfield Star Route, has announced
his candidacy for nomination for the office of County Commissioner,
subject to the will of the Democratic voters in the May 19th
Primary. After concluding his High School course and graduation, Mr.
Hafer served 2 years as an enlisted man in the U.S. Navy in the
Pacific Theater of Operations, and then enrolled at Lycoming College
in 1947, where he majored in Business Administration. Mr. Hafer has
been a resident of Tioga County since 1949, and in 1951 purchased a
small farm in Sullivan Twp., which he has expanded and developed
into a large and successful dairy operation consisting of seventy
[70] head of Holstein cattle. He has interested himself in Soil
Conservation activity and his 325 acres of productive farm lands
comprise a model project in soil and water conservation. He was one
of the originators of the Corey Creek Watershed Assn., and he has
served as a Director and Vice President of the Assn. He has been
most active in civic affairs, and is believed to be the first
Democrat ever elected to office in Sullivan Township, where he now
serves as Auditor, an office he won in 1957. Mr. Hafer, as well, has
been employed by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture in the Tioga
County Bureau of Animal Industry. He is a member of the Grange, the
Mainesburg Methodist Church and has been a most active worker in the
Democratic Party for many years. His wide knowledge of the general
subjects that are allied to the duties of County Commissioner well
quality him for the position he seeks.
Mansfield Advertiser, 1954
McConnell offered Assistant Secretary
Press notices have reported that Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson wants
James McConnell to stay in the Agriculture Department and would like
to have him as Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. McConnell went to
Washington in the first place for a short time only as Chief of the
Commodity Stabilization service. He has put that branch on a better
basis and had intended to come home. He has, as his friends here
know, trouble with his vocal chords and hesitated to take a job that
requires him to make speeches. Also, he would like to get away from
the headaches of administration jobs. He has done a good job in the
department and the people there seem to agree with what some of his
friends up here say, the "if Eisenhower had more men like McConnell,
we would have better government." McConnell's job when he was
called to Washington was to find some way of disposing of the huge
stocks of food products that the government has on hand. For several
years those surpluses have been a threat to the farmers. The surplus
has been growing from year to year and if disposed of in one season,
or suddenly in great quantities, would see farm prices way down. The
program established by McConnell seems to be one that meets with the
least objection by all.
