W. R. CromanThe new elementary school in Troy has been named W. R. Croman Elementary School in honor of Mr. Croman’s 40 years of service as supervising principal of the Troy Schools.  He came to troy in 1915 as head of the school system of nine teachers and 250 students.  Since that time the system has grown to the largest in Bradford County, with 74 teachers and 1, 880 students.  He retired on November 30 after 49 years as an educator.  Harry Crumbling succeeds him as supervising principal.

Migrations - Where did they come from and where did  they go - Tracking our people
I will be developing this section of the site further, WITH YOUR HELP,  and adding both the names of the women that the history books seldom considered, and the place of origin and family histories. For now, I am just trying to get the order of who came when established. Some of the tax records, that would demonstrate that, are missing. This immigrant section is in draft mode subject to change.
