Obituaries:
FRANCIS W. ‘BILL’ McNETT - On the evening of Friday, Nov. 4,
2005, well-known and well-loved Roaring Branch, Pa. resident Francis William
McNett passed away quietly at Williamsport Hospital surrounded by his beloved
family. He was 87 years of age. Known to the family and friends
as "Bill", Mr. McNett he was born Aug. 4, 1918, on English Hill, Union
Township, Tioga County. He was the son of Frank W. and Helen (Cole)
McNett. At the age of 4 he began playing the fiddle, eventually mastering
the mandolin, banjo, harmonica, guitar, bass guitar and piano as well.
By the time he reached his teens, young Bill was performing professionally
at various local venues. Music became one of the great passions of
his life, blossoming into a career that spanned seven decades. For
many years, Bill toured the Eastern seaboard extensively, performing with
his brothers Bob and Dean, to whom he had personally taught the skills
of a master musician. Long after the touring stopped he continued to enrich
lives with his humor and music, playing many local events along with his
family as the McNett Family Band. He was still booking engagements
up until about three years ago. In the midst of his busy career,
Bill courted Alice Rinebold, and they were united in marriage on March
1, 1947. Together they raised two son's two daughters, and this past
March celebrated their 58th anniversary. When not performing professionally,
Mr. McNett could be found at Landon's Cedar Ledge Store, where he helped
out officially as a clerk and unofficially as an entertainer. For
40 years he brought joy and laughter to all who stopped by. Bill was a
very caring and giving man who gave lessons to aspiring musicians, and
in his spare time offered a free taxi service to senior citizens in the
community. He was a man who loved his country, volunteering for the
United States Army during World War II, where he served in the China-Burma-India
Theater. Over the years he had been a member of the former Carpenter
Grange, the Ogdensburg Grange, Canton VFW Post No. 714, Canton American
Legion Post No. 303 and the American Federation of Musicians. Of
paramount importance was Bill's unshakeable faith in the Lord. He was a
lifetime member of the Newelltown United Methodist Church. Mr. McNett
was the embodiment of a true country gentleman who touched innumerable
lives throughout the land. He is survived by his wife, Alice, at
home; sons, Francis L. (and Beverly) McNett and Dennis (and June) McNett,
and daughters, Carol (and Gene) Kelly and Karen Jackson, all of roaring

preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Helen McNett; brothers, Robert
C. McNett and Dean McNett; and son-in-law Frank D. Mott Jr. There
will be a celebration of his life at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13 at the Church
