In 1957, Mansfield PA celebrated its Centennial as a real event
of history. The Mansfield Advertiser published several series that year
to commemorate the citizens who had built the community. Among those series
was one giving brief histories of families who were in the community early.
By the tradition of the time, only the men were mentioned in the title.
We will correct that by giving the women equal billing by their own name.
Living female descendants were identified by their husbands' names. I will
add their real names to restore their dignity and value. Some of the family
stories are more accurate than others, so you may find elements that you
know to be errors as I continue to publish these. We are very grateful
to have them and thank the people of Mansfield who in 1957 collected this
information that we can now pass on to you.
