I found four stones in a field along 414. They are across the road from
Cross Road T 352 (on 414, the left side going to Canton). The stones read:
Here rest Polly wife of Samuel Webber 3/6/ 1813--2/12/1877 and the other
stone reads Samuel Died 6/12/1875 (not sure of the 5) 67 years, 1 month 13 days
and one with PW and SW. I assume they are Polly and Samuel.

Towanda Daily Review, 4 April 2009
Schoolhouse moved to East Canton
The Hoagland School has been moved to the Manley-Bohlayer Farm in East
Canton, and work is continuing on the one-room schoolhouse. Rekindle the Spirit
Inc. in Canton is seeking memorabilia of the school, and items about any one- or
two-room schoolhouses. The items will put into a booklet about “schoolhouse
memories.” Plans are under way for an open house for the schoolhouse on Sept.
13, according to Roberta Arnold of the Canton area. For more information, call
Arnold at (570) 673-3474. Originally, the schoolhouse was located along Towanda
Creek in LeRoy Township. Bob and Mary Jennings donated it. Arnold said donations
so far include a pot-belly stove and an antique door. In addition, workers are
reconstructing an old school bell to be put on top of the school. “It’s starting
to take shape now,” she said. |

Canton Explorers Win Conservation Receive Aware, Get VIP Treatment at
Capitol (March 25, 1961)
Executives of the Pennsylvania Game Commission hung out the welcome sign,
unrolled the red carpet and gave VIP treatment to 15 boys from Canton on Monday.
The day marked the opening of Pennsylvania’s observance of National Wildlife
Week, Mar 20-25. The boys, members of Canton’s Explorer Post 3, travelled to the
state Capitol in Harrisburg to receive the William T. Hornaday award for
distinguished service in wildlife conservation, a coveted award made available
by the Boy Scouts of America in cooperation with the New York Zoological Society
in memory of the late W. T. Hornaday, a pioneer in the field on wildlife
conservation. The impressive presentation was made by m. J. Golden, executive
director of the Game Commission and one of the nation’s foremost
conservationists, on the steps of the state Capitol. Following the presentation
the boys luncheon guests of the Rep. Evan S. Williams, Bradford County
representative in the General Assembly. The boys then made the grand tour of the
state Capitol, arranged by Mr. Golden and Mr. Williams, with various department
heads acting as guides. R. S. Lichtenberger, chief of the Division of
Administration explained the general operation of the State Game Commission. A.
Clinton Ganster of the Bounties section told the boys how bounty claims were
handled. Will Johns, editor of the Pennsylvania Game News presented each boy
with charts of the state flower, tree, bird, and animal. W. W. Britton, chief
warden, explained the overall operation of the Fish Commission. The boys were
conducted on a tour of the State Education building and the State Museum. The
tour concluded with a visit to the impressive Supreme Court Chambers, and at 4
o’clock the Speaker of the House introduced the Explorers to the members of the
state House of Representatives. The adult advisors who accompanied the Scouts
were greatly impressed with the efforts made by Mr. Golden and his staff and Mr.
Williams to make this day one to be long remembered by the Explorers, who were
the first group in Pennsylvania to receive the Hornaday award. All guides
throughout their tour were the heads of their respective departments, not
assistants. The Explorers who won the award are: George Schoonover Jr., Dave
McConnell, Gary Packard, Rodney Ellis, Larry Packard, Dale Robbins, Bob Most,
Fritz Knerr, Bradley Hatherill, Bob Ballard, Charles Leahy, John Schlappi, Doyle
Morgan, Robert Brown, and Nick Colton. |
