Local residents could trade in stock and produce for goods and necessities. It proved his partial undoing when he picked the wrong person to operate it, a man who knew nothing about what people of the area wanted. Shelves were filled with fancy goods of no local value. The store failed to provide what purchasers wanted and the manager was even described as "wasteful and extravagant." The People's Department Store was located near the intersection of Main Street and Market Street, approximately where the lawn area of the First Columbia Bank is today. On old maps of Benton, the store is marked, "R. McHenry Store.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />The continuation of Main Street South did not occur until after the fire of 1910. Main Street (heading South) made an abrupt turn onto the present Market Street, made a bee line for Fishingcreek and crossed a covered bridge, then either climbed Cemetery Hill or bore South in front of the grist mill that we'll talk about in a couple of days.<br />The store burned in the fire of July 4, 1910, and the people who had bought stock in the venture were left without the store, the stock or their money. Insurance satisfied the wholesale firms, but left everyone else stranded."</span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333;"></span></p>Heather Truckenmillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10613296785567101431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612879628708177934.post-79143209287846006772024-03-23T15:03:00.000-07:002024-03-23T15:03:18.516-07:00Prohibition Map<div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1JEy7Ga1PpMFN2c07zFIGzN8Kg235ni70ykc4Ts5-hiz54B4w1PE2VaSONqg-n1eb5VHBvJ-6dcSTLzqBQq8cVGijnxruMH0Avm6vcAYP43P_bb6Ehu3m6fXmPN3bgKkpCcnMGaXyvQ6PoGQbtgZbbjEjqESpW15CCLyHXy8BKR8CYLco5hZY6jrRWKoW/s9858/Prohibition%20Map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

They can be very unpredictable and happen out of nowhere. Sinkholes can range in sizes from small, foot sized holes, to large ones that are big enough to swallow up cars and endanger houses. As you can see in the table below, as of May 2020 there have been over 3,600 sinkholes in Pennsylvania. Roughly 75% of those were located in areas that have mainly limestone bedrock.

With the canal closing, a group of investors formed the Sunbury Boat Company charter, and purchased the old canal boat, intending to use it for chartered tours. Those listed on the Sunbury Boat Company Charter were: <span style="text-align: left;">H.A. Reed, Harry Guyer, H.E. Davis, W.L. Dewart, and Dr C.H. Peters. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">They paid <span style="text-align: left;"> $4,000, the equivalent of about $145,000 in 2024, and at the time of purchase, they had the boat, and particularly the boiler, tested. All was in good shape.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Montour had been taken out in early July on a test run for the new charter business, and all went well. It looked to be a promising new venture.<br /></span></span><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Superintendent E.B. Westfall, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, chartered the Montour for the day of July 13th, inviting a variety of prominent men to join him for a day of fishing.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The Montour had just returned from Shamokin Dam earlier that morning, and Wendt and Gaughler were making the steamboat ready for it Westfalls excursion. Once everything was in order, </span><span>Engineer Wendt left the steamer to secure some waiters from the hotel in town. </span></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">A group of young boys gradually arrived, planning a day of fishing themselves. A flat boat, rigged up as a coal digger, was beside the Montour, making not only a good fishing spot for the boys, but a nice vantage point to view the new tourist steamboat.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Also nearby was another excursion steamer with 100 people on board,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The Harrisburg Telegraph later reported a series of </span><span>remarkable coincidences that morning.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Several trains were running late that day, delaying the outing. </span><span>Westfall wired his friends and asked them to wait for him at Sunbury Station, delaying their arrival to the boat. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Not all chose to wait, however.</span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Former Congressmen Monroe H.

He went as high as the trees along the bank and fell in a pile of wood. Pieces of wood and iron fell in all directions and I saw several other boys fall in the water, but it came so sudden that I didn't know what happened until the men came."</span></span></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">"By the time we reached the ground an awful sight was ready for our view. The entire roof and side walls of the Montour had been blown to atoms and ruin was to be seen on every side. The contents of the boat were scattered among the pile of debris and the machinery on a nearby digger was twisted into an almost useless mass of scrap iron... We got Frank Keller out from under the engine on the coal digger and the other boys were taken from the water. The body of Allen Fetzer lay along the bank about 25 feet away. We heard him groan once, but before we got to his side he was dead." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">"The scene was an awful one. Lying on the ground, writhing in great agony, suffering untold tortures and staining the grass with their life's blood, lay five young boys, while about 100 feet away, lying near the water's edge, the shattered remains of what was once a steamboat told the awful tale of what had occurred." - Williamsport Sun Gazette</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span><br /></span><span>It took two days to locate George Frymeyer, the steam boat pilot, who was blown more than one hundred feet out over the river. </span><span>A party of more than fifty searchers, including two of Frymeyer's brothers, and divers dragged and dredged the river with hooker poles and grappling irons all day Saturday, without success. </span></span><span><span>One of the divers, </span></span><span style="text-align: center;">William Neitz severed two arteries in his foot on the sunken boiler, while assisting with the search.</span><span><span> </span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The remains of the steamboat pilot weren't found until Sunday afternoon.

Murphy Carnival on the Island at Milton Pa.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1920, the J.F. Murphy Carnival arrived in Milton mid June, with a parade through town, before setting up on the island. The carnival remained for a week, going out with a literal bang on June 20th 1920, when their train was hit by another train at the siding near the canal on Broadway. Carnival staff believed the crash was intentional, and a mob, including hundreds of spectators, chased Sunbury Engineer William Boyd. Boyd raced through the car shops, and took refuge in a tower. A freight train from Williamsport stopped and picked him up, taking him safely to Sunbury, while police dispersed the mob.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div>"Engineer William Boyd Of Sunbury narrowly escaped rough handling at the hand of a number of the employees attached to the J.F. Murphy Carnival Company, following an accident to the carnival train on the Pennsylvania Railroad canal siding at Broadway..."</div><div><br /></div><div>Nine were injured when Engineer William Boyd backed into the show train on the siding at Broadway. </div><div><br /></div><div>"The engine backed into the rear draft of cars with such force that the wagons on the show cars were torn loose and occupants of the train were badly shaken up." Wagons were jolted from cars, wagon bodies were torn from bases, and a wagon fell on two men, severely injuring them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Several employees of the carnival thought that the engineer had intentionally caused the accident, and they set out to punish him. According to the Miltonian, several hundred people, including a number of curious spectators, chased Boyd through the car shops. Boyd eluded the crowd, taking refuge in one of the Pennsylvania Towers. From the tower, he communicated with the train master at Williamsport, who had a freight train stop for him, taking him safely to Sunbury while the "mob, lead by a few hotheads" was dispersed by state and local police.</div><div><br /></div><div>Boyd stated that he had difficulty getting signals to members of the crew, because men employed by the carnival were crawling about the train, jumping on and off and waving to people on the tracks. He claims to have received conflicting signals, mistaking one of the showmen for his own crew and believing he was being signaled to come ahead. </div><div><br /></div><div>The engine backed into the rear draft of card with such force that the show cars were torn loose and the occupants of the train were badly shaken up. None of the railroad cars were damaged.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of those injured, most suffered minor cuts and bruises. Two men, George McDonald and C.A. Hickman, had been sleeping under a wagon on one of the flat cars, and they were the most seriously injured. Both were taken to Mary M. Packer hospital in Sunbury. Hickman's leg had been broken, and McDonald suffered an injury to his shoulder.</div><div><br /></div><div>Both men were expected to recover. The carnival went on from Milton to Nanticoke.</div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">=======================</div><div style="text-align: center;">READ MORE</div><div style="text-align: center;">=======================</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDoKkiwhFvGgx8WXTmHElp2-iY7Kqh074Kr-a6CqyBmBK5kjKA67aiEmtzSG5fOlTcvmFjw-L79jGgB2YNCpafmRPitxsi-HIudX36rwxjDpnR375iSoj2cxZLyratjh9L6JGsEnKuuBqR4_JQXDBe658w6oePem4bn3z4Iej-GcnCKcxS91sf_bIlusS5/s5827/Miltonian_Thu__Jun_17__1920_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5827" data-original-width="3311" height="631" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDoKkiwhFvGgx8WXTmHElp2-iY7Kqh074Kr-a6CqyBmBK5kjKA67aiEmtzSG5fOlTcvmFjw-L79jGgB2YNCpafmRPitxsi-HIudX36rwxjDpnR375iSoj2cxZLyratjh9L6JGsEnKuuBqR4_JQXDBe658w6oePem4bn3z4Iej-GcnCKcxS91sf_bIlusS5/w359-h631/Miltonian_Thu__Jun_17__1920_.jpg" width="359" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhONv-jQbqR6C6xtTQ3HIQynp6LErVQC3sm-onFTqm0Bp14hIdDTbUx_jVqTIRPIiTFtILFOKqvwkRuTsL4tfz7375i7mdouUOARdnJBPbv4dmDQSC7JqOnsecQGx24Gfb68A-4_I5jo_FvAIJlqiyvGDGhiy5070zOpyMPq7qVVBpX_s-G00cahDjYvdDV/s5847/Miltonian_Thu__Jun_24__1920_%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5847" data-original-width="888" height="2755" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhONv-jQbqR6C6xtTQ3HIQynp6LErVQC3sm-onFTqm0Bp14hIdDTbUx_jVqTIRPIiTFtILFOKqvwkRuTsL4tfz7375i7mdouUOARdnJBPbv4dmDQSC7JqOnsecQGx24Gfb68A-4_I5jo_FvAIJlqiyvGDGhiy5070zOpyMPq7qVVBpX_s-G00cahDjYvdDV/w422-h2755/Miltonian_Thu__Jun_24__1920_%20(3).jpg" width="422" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8goZVJORmmeLSdHlts9bTDorr9849iM2UwaHv3eaPVzotjzuzm2sIIdzi_zMcYnSpfsAou6SyDuTuV0ttjxnvChrJzukPdLYEjvVmnOpclDOeAjdZ0uPF-p7HngOSdTSuxgIHK_m4jSqrBaNDcjC_ZzLQ8VEXMO-_th4rCOB2vMdAEmEjoYmpL_xkExvL/s4902/Miltonian_Thu__Jun_24__1920_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4732" data-original-width="4902" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8goZVJORmmeLSdHlts9bTDorr9849iM2UwaHv3eaPVzotjzuzm2sIIdzi_zMcYnSpfsAou6SyDuTuV0ttjxnvChrJzukPdLYEjvVmnOpclDOeAjdZ0uPF-p7HngOSdTSuxgIHK_m4jSqrBaNDcjC_ZzLQ8VEXMO-_th4rCOB2vMdAEmEjoYmpL_xkExvL/w501-h484/Miltonian_Thu__Jun_24__1920_.jpg" width="501" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></p>Heather Truckenmillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10613296785567101431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612879628708177934.post-76743520944061495312024-02-08T08:13:00.000-08:002024-02-08T08:13:18.906-08:00Pennsylvania Dutch Ham & String Beans - A CoalCracker In The Kitchen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX66U3e1EmXXz9BYvLLh4557ZS9hLwjXBp-Jd-kivWSiyxBOIu1576ZNk0jInlyMFUN48Weskv0SS7MHzOesqTkwF-ihoix8MXQifj4xjy7NLYS2sQ5HljoSISH1PuVMt__zt84ePDWwvmnC7EMQChhiIDBeKZym-SAAReCLQyapRPylZ6THR8AvLuAhfo/s320/han-and-green-beans.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="217" data-original-width="320" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX66U3e1EmXXz9BYvLLh4557ZS9hLwjXBp-Jd-kivWSiyxBOIu1576ZNk0jInlyMFUN48Weskv0SS7MHzOesqTkwF-ihoix8MXQifj4xjy7NLYS2sQ5HljoSISH1PuVMt__zt84ePDWwvmnC7EMQChhiIDBeKZym-SAAReCLQyapRPylZ6THR8AvLuAhfo/w364-h247/han-and-green-beans.jpg" width="364" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;">From A Coalcracker In The Kitchen<br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">FULL RECIPE AT BOTTOM OF PAGE</span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The recipe, and instructions, below are all from a post from A CoalCracker In the Kitchen. After her death, her blog was removed from the internet. This is a saved version of her page, with an added printable version of her recipe at the bottom.</span></i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></i></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">=============</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"Here is an old stand-by in the Coal Region and Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens and is a great one-pot meal. You can use fresh or frozen green (string) beans, but I prefer fresh whenever possible even though there is a tad more work involved in cleaning the beans.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">In all my years (okay…decades…) of making this, I have used ham hocks, frozen left-over ham ends from holiday dinners, ham ends bought at the grocery store just for this dish when I get the urge, or even a center cut slice of ham although my preference is hocks or the bone-in end for the best flavor in the broth. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">If your broth winds up a little “wimpy”, add some ham broth seasoning like Better Than Bouillon brand to taste. I use plain white all-purpose potatoes for this dish although red or Yukon gold are great alternatives.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My family always ate it with a splash of white distilled or cider vinegar in the bowl when served but even red wine vinegar works, if adding vinegar is to your liking. You can even add a small splash of vinegar to the pot when cooking the beans.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I prefer to make this one evening and reheat and serve the next day as I believe the flavors really develop that way, but you can make it and eat it immediately (it can be hard to wait after smelling the yummy fragrance in your home as it cooks!) And no crunchy, squeaky green beans here… the beans should be very soft in this dish.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The recipe is VERY forgiving; you add more or less potatoes, more or less ham, add some bacon, use more or less green beans… you get the idea. Almost every time I cook this, I wind up accompanying it with a “wilted lettuce” salad using Hot Bacon Dressing and shredded iceberg lettuce.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

On Sunday, January 24. 2021 at 2 pm, I had to and it was the worst moment of my life.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My husband of 23 years, James, had heart failure for many years, but his body continued to compensate for it. Told by the doctors he was a miracle for still being able to do the things he could, it was decided before Christmas he was a candidate to be evaluated for a heart transplant. Excited, yet apprehensive at the same time, we expected testing to start mid-February.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">During a routine scan of James’ implanted defibrillator, it was discovered he had developed Atrial fibrillation. It was recommended he check in to the hospital where they would treat the condition starting with drug therapy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As he prepared to drive himself there, I deeply regretted that my physical limitations prevented me from accompanying him — I would have no way home and in his words, “there is nothing you can do there, hon. It’s okay.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thursday night’s call from him revealed he was finally admitted but placed in the ICU. My heart skipped a beat. “ICU?”, I asked. He replied it was so they could try to keep a closer eye on him. He still sounded like James.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Friday brought no answers to some strange issues he was having the previous week: diarrhea, nausea, inability to rid himself of excess fluid. The Afib was not responding to the drug treatment. Momentarily stopping his heart was discussed for the following day if there was no progress with drugs to combat the Afib.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I phoned him. “How do you feel? Any better?”, I asked hopefully. “I feel different.” was the answer. “Worse? Better?. I pleaded. “Just different.” was his response.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On Saturday at noon, they stopped his heart and the Afib was successfully treated. The beats were normal. He called me and was groggy and hoarse. Having been intubated, his throat was bothering him. “You sound groggy yet”, I said. “Of course, it always does take you awhile to recover from anesthesia and that tube is not your favorite thing.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But he sounded drunk. His words were slurred, his reactios were slow and he said, “I feel weaker.” In the distance, I heard a nurse assuring him he was okay and had moved himself up in bed when requesting more pillows to raise his head. I said goodnight because he said he was tired. Upon hanging up, I was concerned that he hadn’t sounded better that long after anesthesia.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Just after 9 a.m. Sunday</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Caller ID says “James Fogg”. Great, he’s awake I thought. “Hello!” I chirped with enthusiasm. “Is this Lori?” “Yes.” “Your husband isn’t doing very well”. My heart drops into the pit of my stomach.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“His heart is failing. We need to know what you want to do if he goes into cardiac arrest.” This was the conversation I had not expected. He was going to the hospital for a couple days for medication adjustment. Now they tell me he’s dying.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">James had been quite clear over the years that he never wanted to be prolonged by machines if the end result was clear — if there was no chance of recovery. I knew the answer, I did not want to face it or say it. But I did. “No, don’t attempt resuscitation.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They held the phone up to James. I tried not to break down. I was massively unsuccessful. We said “I love you” through the tears and gasps. I heard his struggle in every word. He no longer sounded like James. The world blurred. I cannot remember the very end of our last words — I think he just got silent and a nurse got back on the phone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The care team contacted me. They wanted to verify the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order. This women was much kinder than the nurse who called me from James’ own cell phone, dropped the bomb on me, then kept telling me to calm down, stop screaming, and did I really want them to shock him and put him on a ventilator. “Is that what you REALLY want”? — three times. (Yes, I did. I wanted to badly, but I knew he did not want that, so I finally gave her the answer she apparently found acceptable.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The kind woman told me his labs showed extensive organ failure, his heart was failing, and there was no recovering. Together, we went over the options to keep him stress free. James was showing signs of confusion and was pulling at IV lines. I asked that he be kept on blood pressure medication for a few more hours in the belief that he would pass on his own; if not the meds would be stopped after which his heart would definitely follow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As I sat waiting for the next dreaded phone call, time ticked by. Around 2:30 pm I could not take the tidal wave of regret from things left unsaid during that brutal early morning call. I could barely think when I got that original call. It felt cruel the way it was done to both James and me. I think back amazed I could say anything at from the shock. I called the care team. “How is he? Is he in distress?” He was resting comfortably, they assured me. “Is he able to hear me? “Yes, he can.” replied the soft, kind voice. “I need to tell him it’s okay to let go.” I sobbed. “I need to tell him.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“I’ll take the phone to him and call you”, she said. Five minutes later, my phone rang, “I’m here with James. I am going to put you on speaker. Go ahead.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I hear the kind woman say, “James, I’m going to hold your hand for Lori. She wants you to know this is her and she wants to tell you something.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I took a deep breath. God, let me get through this. “Honey, I needed to talk to you one more time. You know me…I always need to get the last word in and these kind folks helped me do it. I love you and have always loved you. I needed to tell you that it’s okay to let go. I know you’re a fighter and I love you for it, but it is okay to let go. I’ll be okay.” (I heard James tell a friend not long ago that he lived a good life and done most of what he wanted to achieve, It was not death that worried him, but me being left alone.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">She said he turned his head toward the phone and moved his legs as I spoke. A little more than two hours later, I got the call. “He’s gone.” I whispered into the phone, “Yes” came the quiet reply.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I will never know if James realized how bad his condition was, but as he got ready to go to the hospital, his voice broke and he said, “I’m getting scared now.” He was really not feeling well by that time. I kick myself. My father died of heart failure. I knew the signs. Did I not see them? Did I not want to see them? Did he not realize or did he not want to worry me? How could it be that bad? He was going to get a transplant…</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Give me back the chaos</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The silence in the house is deafening. In the midst of everyday hustle and bustle — ringing phones, barking dogs, blaring TVs, I used to lament, “I just want some quiet. Just for awhile.” Now I have it. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have to remind myself to put the phone down when I get the urge to call him and ask a question. I find myself rolling into his office to share some news or a funny story only to find the chair empty and his laptop screen dark. “James, can you help me open this jar?” Silence. Miserable fucking silence.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Now the reality of just how much he did for me settles in. My amputation and wheelchair use limits me, but the advanced Rheumatoid Arthritis has one hand now clenched into a fist. As my physical health declined, his role as caregiver increased. I used to get so upset. “I was supposed to take of you. It was never supposed to be like this!”, I cried.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">September 27, 1997</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Into the future</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I am scared of the future and life without James. Actually, I am terrified. I am not great with “change”, even good change. But every change in this crazy life for the last 23 years was tackled with my husband by my side. As he often joked, he was my “emotional support pet”.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He was my biggest cheerleader and my biggest fan. He was proud of my success with my blog and Facebook page and showed it. He was by my side cooking, photographing dishes, shipping from my shop, and his favorite thing of all — enjoying the foods featured in my recipes. My original instinct was to shut them down — the thoughts of any of this without him is unbearable.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He would not want me to quit. And because he was an integral part of my starting the blog and its success throughout the years, I will continue on sharing Coal Region foods and memories and hope that he will be by my side through it all in some way.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I love you, James — and it was okay to let go."</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">=================</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Index Of Coalcracker Recipes on This Blog<br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://susquehannavalley.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-coalcraker-in-kitchen.html">https://susquehannavalley.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-coalcraker-in-kitchen.html</a></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBbgZCi2U6KfA3aMQCYdZJLOcZezJwzeKitYW3xLWOYTky3uSPe7KZP_MnudeNx8_w8kL_I6GpDSFpmfQ1jMI_I47WB7OBiM2LF3IZvIPA_ggcY8llB5UH-Y5oGEX_fGeDcpE6ndY_cQe16j7EkGg1EYdYT1GZ5_W5qISnB8ctcaj34O_HBAiGs4wXDIo/s228/cropped-round-logo-medium-size-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="173" data-original-width="228" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBbgZCi2U6KfA3aMQCYdZJLOcZezJwzeKitYW3xLWOYTky3uSPe7KZP_MnudeNx8_w8kL_I6GpDSFpmfQ1jMI_I47WB7OBiM2LF3IZvIPA_ggcY8llB5UH-Y5oGEX_fGeDcpE6ndY_cQe16j7EkGg1EYdYT1GZ5_W5qISnB8ctcaj34O_HBAiGs4wXDIo/w345-h261/cropped-round-logo-medium-size-1.png" width="345" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-style: italic;">From Lori's now archived blog:<br /></span><span lang="en-US">What is a “Coalcracker” and what the heck are you doing in the kitchen?<br /></span><span lang="en-US">“Coalcracker“: Affectionate term for a resident of Northeastern Pennsylvania, but particularly of the Anthracite (coal) Region (Scranton to the Lehigh Valley to Schuylkill County).</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US"><br /></span><span lang="en-US">With the expansion of the mining and railroad industries.

After her death, her blog was removed from the internet. This is a saved version of her page, with an added printable version of her recipe at the bottom.</span></i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></i></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; text-align: left;">As the Easter season approaches, many of us in the Coal Region look to tradition for our final indulgences in foods that were often abstained from during the Lenten season. The day before the start of Lent, known as “Fat Tuesday” (or Shrove Tuesday) in many regions is often referred to as “Donut Day” or “Fasnacht Day” in the Pa Dutch and Coal Regions. Due to our heavy influence of Eastern European cultures and immigrants, it is also known as “Paczki Day” in many Polish households.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">As with other cultures in our region, the making of paczki is traditionally a way to use up all of the fat, sugar, and fruit in the house–things that are forbidden during the strict Polish Lenten season.</span><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br />In Poland, Paczki Day, the day when all of the last paczki are consumed, is the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. In the USA, Paczki Day is the day before Ash Wednesday.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br />The difference between these and a basic doughnut is that paczki are made with a very rich, sweet yeast dough consisting of eggs, butter and milk. Sort of like a brioche doughnut.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br />Traditionally, paczki are fried in hot fat, but many people either do not have the kitchen equipment to deep fry, or they prefer not to do so due to health or safety concerns. This is a recipe for BAKED paczki that are just as delicious as their fried counterparts and baking them gives you a great kid-friendly recipe and opportunity to involve the younger members of the household in the process to introduce them to family traditions!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br />Fill with your favorite fruit preserve or even lemon curd or custard. The most traditional filling is a stewed plum jam or rose hip jam. Baked paczki last longer than fried, but are still best consumed the day they are made."</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">==============</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Almost like a brioche doughnut, this recipe is for BAKED paczki that are just as delicious as their fried counterparts!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">INGREDIENTS</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1-1/2 cups warm milk (105 to 110 degrees F)</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">2 packages active dry yeast</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">1/2 cup white sugar</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">4 ounces (1 stick) room-temperature butter</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">1 large room-temperature egg</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">3 large room-temperature egg yolks</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">1 tablespoon brandy (or rum)</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">1 teaspoon salt</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">DIRECTIONS</span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In a small bowl or measuring cup, add yeast to warm milk, stir to dissolve and set aside.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in egg, egg yolks, brandy or rum and salt until well incorporated.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Still using the paddle attachment, add 4-1/2 cups flour alternately with the milk-yeast mixture and beat for five or more minutes by machine and longer by hand until smooth. The dough will be very slack. If very soft or runny, add up to the remaining 1/2 cup flour.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk approximately 1-1/2 to 2 -1/2 hours. Punch down, cover and let rise again.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Pat or roll to 1/2 to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut rounds with 3-inch cutter. Remove scraps, and re-roll and re-cut. Transfer rounds to parchment-lined baking sheets, cover and let rounds rise until doubled in bulk, 30 minutes or longer.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Heat oven to 375F degrees.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Place pączki in the oven on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until toothpick tests clean when inserted into center.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Remove from oven and roll in granulated sugar while still hot or confectioners’ sugar when cool.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To fill the pączki, let them cool completely then pipe or spoon in filling.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">NOTES</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The easiest way to fill these is to use a pastry bag fitted with a Bismarck Tip.

His years there are thought to be the most productive of his career, although he never achieved fame, nor fortune. When First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chose two of his paintings to be displayed in the newly renovated White House in 1962, his work was catapulted into popularity, and prices soared. Paintings, many of which Roesen had bartered for food and lodging, were pulled to of attics and store rooms and sold - although some still exist, and several are on public display, in Williamsport. Others can be seen in a list of major museums.<a href="https://susquehannavalley.blogspot.com/2024/02/severin-roesen-in-williamsport-pa.html"> https://susquehannavalley.blogspot.com/2024/02/severin-roesen-in-williamsport-pa.html</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWFqDMywI6mBAGlqZnD6gDZ2rioJXln30FKmgp1RZBj9jVUj4lxYZfbEuPStzJb7ekscSzEVNKWcgwMS-tXgkY_aNAK9UiZF9Uy-Rov8-hk3ZIRnK1XAT2iozNJVOJEZPKHjTRTGCt1NaGOVq9pA-MBMCQXGgUMRzKa75eWQcMCBQ3OK8G7APTCov_s2TW/s640/jwl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="640" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWFqDMywI6mBAGlqZnD6gDZ2rioJXln30FKmgp1RZBj9jVUj4lxYZfbEuPStzJb7ekscSzEVNKWcgwMS-tXgkY_aNAK9UiZF9Uy-Rov8-hk3ZIRnK1XAT2iozNJVOJEZPKHjTRTGCt1NaGOVq9pA-MBMCQXGgUMRzKa75eWQcMCBQ3OK8G7APTCov_s2TW/w428-h283/jwl.jpg" width="428" /></span></a><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>Local Artist John Wesley Little, from Picture Rocks in Lycoming County, paid his childrens college tuition to Lewisburg Universtiy [today Bucknell] partially in paintings.

I do hesitate to disagree with others memories, but also acknowledge that our memories can be faulty. There were many, many changes in this area over the decades, the cannery was demolished sometime around the 1972 flood.

Cook, of the well known lumbering and sawmill firm of J. R. Cook & Sons, did in his home at Klamathon, Siskiyou county, California, Thursday night, Oct. 21, aged 78 years. Deceased had been prominently identified with the lumber business of Northern California for fifteen years or more, and the big sawmill which he established at Klamathon was the starting point of that town. He was a native of Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, where he married and afterwards went to Michigan. There he formed a partnership with A. Pardee in the lumbering business, and after operating a number of years in that state the firm came to Klamathon, where it acquired large tracts of timber and established a mill. Mr. Pardee died soon after coming west and Mr. Cook’s two sons were associated with him in the business. Later they sold the business to Harvey Lindley & Co., and this sale was followed in a few years by a lawsuit in the Siskiyou county courts, involving a large sum. Cook & Sons were given judgment against Lindley & Co in this litigation. Mr. Cook suffered financially in the fire which nearly wiped out Klamathon tow or three years ago, but was partially compensated by the insurance carried. He was a man who was honored as an upright character by his acquaintances.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUImMyfuk-1Kf2KPVRLTIWFmwbdGeaiBTWcOc2WdhD6d2v8gDvzneBL1eBCNDybNGzRbm1raS7EmbrfNtttl7lvKsZ25ejIMxjCGAJdXLgMLq7-UaOJYMvJp3A14KmjZFblwRt3kpNzKX0cTiK_ucYFYnmzC_1HQiuG7fRO7vZri0frc9idCMQHb5iyC1/s3922/Lewisburg_Chronicle_Thu__Mar_31__1881_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1627" data-original-width="3922" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUImMyfuk-1Kf2KPVRLTIWFmwbdGeaiBTWcOc2WdhD6d2v8gDvzneBL1eBCNDybNGzRbm1raS7EmbrfNtttl7lvKsZ25ejIMxjCGAJdXLgMLq7-UaOJYMvJp3A14KmjZFblwRt3kpNzKX0cTiK_ucYFYnmzC_1HQiuG7fRO7vZri0frc9idCMQHb5iyC1/s320/Lewisburg_Chronicle_Thu__Mar_31__1881_.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">March 1881</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Clinton Democrat, Lock Haven, PA, March 24, 1881.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Death of R. G. Cook, Esq.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Robert G. Cook, Esq, of this city, died very suddenly in Florida on Monday evening last. He had not been in good health for a year past, and had recently gone to Florida with a portion of his family, where he owned a saw mill and was largely interested in lumbering. Letters were received here as late as Monday giving encouraging accounts of his health, but on Tuesday morning a brief dispatch announced his death.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr. Cook was a son of the late Hon. John Cook, of Pine Creek township, Clinton county, and was about 59 years of age at the time of his death. For some years past he was largely engaged in the manufacture of lumber, by himself and in connection with Arie Pardee and with his son, H. C. Cook. He appeared to be a man of much muscular vigor and until lately of perfect health. He had the reputation of being a correct and energetic business man. For several years past he resided in a fine mansion of Church street, in this city, and leaves a widow and family of children.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The particulars of his death have not been received, but it must have been very sudden, as the latest letters received spoke of his improving health and constant activity. His body will be returned to Lock Haven, but because of the great distance the time of its arrival is somewhat uncertain.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Clinton Democrat, Lock Haven, PA, March 31, 1881.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Obsequies of the late R. G. Cook, Esq.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A large assembly was present at the funeral of the late Robert G. Cook which, took place at his late residence in this city last Monday afternoon. They were conducted by Rev. Jos. Nesbitt, of Great Island Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Wm. A. Houck, of Trinity M. E. Chruch, and were deeply impressive. The plate upon the casket containing the remains bore the simple inscription, “R.G. Cook, aged 53.” The floral offerings of relatives and friends were elegant and expressive. At the head of the casket was a pillow of natural flowers, from Mrs. T. C. Hipple, of this city, with the word “Rest,” upon the casket, just above the plate, was a crescent, made of flowers gathered in Florida, with the endearing word, “Papa,” while at the foot of the casket was a basket of ivy leaves and white flowers, with the word “Rest,” from Mrs. Kultz, of Philadelphia. An anchor and cross, from the pupils in Mrs. Kutz’s school, bore the inscription “With love and sympathy of Young Ladies of 1221.” Opposite this was an elaborate and elegant cross, from Miss Florence K Smith, of Philadelphia. Upon the mantle was a broken column or shaft, of pure white flowers, the base ivy and white – the column entwined with smilax, interspersed with rose buds. Immediately beneath this was a floral star and to the left a chair, most tastefully adorned with flowers and ivy. An anchor, with the word “Hope,” and bearing the inscription, “With Love and sympathy of Mystic Seven,” was placed to the right of the casket.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The pall bearers were Messrs. W. W. Barrows, W. H. Moore, Robert McCormick, Charles Kreamer, Chas. S. McCormick, and S. D. Ball. The remains were interred in Highland Cemetery.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr. William Elliot, who was in Mr. Cook’s employ in Florida, in writing to Rev. Mr. Nesbitt, under date of the 23d inst., gives the following in relation to Mr. Cook’s last illness and death.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Mr. Cook was apparently getting much better, and was in fine spirits. All day Sunday he was feeling extra well and kept congratulating himself upon his improvement. On Monday he was not quite as well as on Sunday. He complained of pains in his breast and left arm, but did not seem to think much of it at the time. About 8 o’clock he walked up stairs to bed, thinking he could rest. I was talking to him and he appeared in good spirits. About 8:15 Mrs. Cook came to the room and while administering to the wants of her husband, saw that something was the matter. She called the members and friends of the family, and while ? did all in our power, by 8:25 he was dead. He died without struggle.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr. Cook died of neuralgia of the heart. At the time of his death he was interested in seven saw mills, located in Lock Haven, Watsontown, Laurelton, and DuBois, Pennsylvania; in Grifton, West Virginia; Highland, Florida and in Michigan.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div>Heather Truckenmillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10613296785567101431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612879628708177934.post-45625649373210126752024-01-31T18:02:00.000-08:002024-01-31T18:02:07.189-08:00H.

Warshow and Sons, Inc. in 1911. Pioneers in the field of elastic material manufacturing, the company established its main processing plant on Mahoning Street in 1946 with a warehouse south of Milton, off River Road. The company later moved its weaving preparation process to other plants with the Milton plant exclusively set up for all dying and finishing operations.<br /><br />Originally a textile distributing firm, the company became a manufacturer of rigid fabrics for the hat-lining and undergarment trades in 1920. In 1931, the company invented a method of weaving wide elastic fabrics, which had never been commercially manufactured, an important segment to its business.<br /></span><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">=========================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Warshow Downsizes, Restructures</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">May. 24th, 2004</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">NEW YORK — Stretch-fabric weaver H. Warshow and Sons Inc. is reducing its workforce, reorganizing its management structure and focusing on larger accounts.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Warshow is one of a dwindling number of domestic weavers that have been forced to operate more efficiently to survive as the textile market becomes increasingly global. According to the National Council of Textile Organizations, an industry lobbying group, the U.S. has lost 257 textile mills since 1997, with 20 closing so far this year. At the end of February, according to Department of Labor data, the industry employed 412,800 people, down 51,600 from a year earlier.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The privately held firm, which employs fewer than 500, declined to quantify the workforce reductions. Cuts were made at Warshow’s Manhattan offices, its knitting and weaving facility in Tappahannock, Va., and in its dyeing and finishing plant in Milton, Pa. The firm, which focuses on stretch wovens for swimwear and intimate apparel, also has a growing business supplying fabrics used by the military and athletes.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“We were fat and lazy in the back offices,” said chief executive officer Henry Warshow in an interview. The major cuts were made in the administrative or back office portions of the business.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">While there are no plans to add back administrative positions, a recent uptick in sales has the firm increasing its workforce in areas such as knitting and dyeing. Warshow said the firm has moved to a six-day work week at its plants.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Founded in 1911 by Warshow’s grandfather out of a pushcart on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, there are only two Warshows left in the company, Henry and his wife, Miriam, executive vice president.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">In the restructuring, the ceo, who retains his title but will now focus on sales, has handed day-to-day operational control of the firm to David Beebe, who was promoted to executive vice president and chief operating officer. Beebe had been senior vice president of operations.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Completing the troika that steers the firm is Ivor Kisberg, who has been promoted to senior vice president of sales administration. Kisberg, who had been vice president of corporate planning reporting to Warshow, now reports to Beebe and is responsible for reorganizing and coordinating the company’s sales</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">=================</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEianGPwS122UC64PMIDbYExx8DKPiPCLjHbUuXJ2JBUMR4zJYGWyXuX5m4-eK-dUddiC_ES0HVQdviVu__yx5JThgNPIjYWhSCqlSbhqzT6o_b0Rp9A5hDy8P_Zao292fFrhAsRGmVV5wKFpROI_pVPFs06AByr58i34dCuJoA1DOiiSR-8w1dpTlNQX3im/s5539/The_Los_Angeles_Times_Sun__Sep_13__2015_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5539" data-original-width="3129" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEianGPwS122UC64PMIDbYExx8DKPiPCLjHbUuXJ2JBUMR4zJYGWyXuX5m4-eK-dUddiC_ES0HVQdviVu__yx5JThgNPIjYWhSCqlSbhqzT6o_b0Rp9A5hDy8P_Zao292fFrhAsRGmVV5wKFpROI_pVPFs06AByr58i34dCuJoA1DOiiSR-8w1dpTlNQX3im/w335-h592/The_Los_Angeles_Times_Sun__Sep_13__2015_.jpg" width="335" /></span></a></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Henry Warshow II, 1930-2015</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Grandson of the Founder</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div></div>Heather Truckenmillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10613296785567101431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612879628708177934.post-89153848305775670392024-01-24T19:35:00.000-08:002024-01-24T19:36:20.195-08:00From Statler's To Francos - 12 West Fourth Street<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYDdehBOOX6JMFrB5S1Axwc8U9v3k9T_8JcBhh30G0g-fLeay9yO7A6FgLMoGbtZScDFS845eax1aMItjDPhiLU2GMzkX2Y9PJXTFUKeCFJKS3I_hkPzQJmBAoadB60YyxdS6WYbugcpNpCR4nTIvqlPKQtkb34RhtuPgHo_Lf1fo2nog-sYfiJyaRihkY/s3829/20240124_160603.jpg" style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3829" data-original-width="2177" height="849" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYDdehBOOX6JMFrB5S1Axwc8U9v3k9T_8JcBhh30G0g-fLeay9yO7A6FgLMoGbtZScDFS845eax1aMItjDPhiLU2GMzkX2Y9PJXTFUKeCFJKS3I_hkPzQJmBAoadB60YyxdS6WYbugcpNpCR4nTIvqlPKQtkb34RhtuPgHo_Lf1fo2nog-sYfiJyaRihkY/w483-h849/20240124_160603.jpg" width="483" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Tonight we had dinner at Francos in Williamsport.
