I am writing concerning a school photo that appears on your site with an
incorrect label.
First would like to thank you for all the valuable information you have
compiled. Wish that Lycoming County had equal information.
I have an aunt living in East Troy who was shown
the photo (printed out by her daughter?). She is in the second row of the
students. Nellie Rockwell
Dickerson. The school students were of the Case School on Fallbrook Street.
The teacher laster mazrried Wilbur Cronk. The
photo was taken on the porch of the house next door. Owner at that time Newell.
The schoolhouse itself probably had no front porch.
After the school was remodeled, during the years a Miss Iona (orig. Ina) Hunt,
later married Lowell Austin, taught there (early 1920s) windows were left on
just the one side, toward Route 14.
She believes the two unknown boys did not attend
the school but were visiting on the day the photo was taken.
I saw some photos on your site this morning
concerning houses in the Troy boro. One was believed to be near the Troy bowling
alley. My Aunt has told me
of a house up the hill across Fallbrook from the school. Known in the 1910s
as “the Elliot house”, probably a Mr. Judson Elliot. Apparently in 1915 the
field between was part of the property with Elliott house.
One thing she mentioned shows the different pace of life
in 1915, she recalls the road in front of the school being used for games.
May the Martha Lloyd school building have been the Al
Budd house? She recalls her father taking bull calves to a slaughterhouse
located there. If not that
house a house located nearby.
My Aunt also has filled me in some on the Mitchell
house reduced by Harry Crumbling, across from the present Troy Post Office, on
Canton St.
