One picture, shown here, is of her great-great- grandmother Mary taken on December 18, 1899 when she was 63 years old. She was the wife of John D. West and the mother of Eva West. Eva married her cousin Levi P. Light and was the mother of Ernest Light of Rush, PA, whom Carol's grandmother Jennie Krause married. Jennie was born the year before this picture was taken. Agnes Elizabeth Kelly Agnes Kelly (1885-1960) was the youngest of eighteeen children of Daniel Kelly and Mary Leahy of Forks, PA. On January 7, 1904, she married Peter Francis Sweeney, son of Martin Sweeney and Julia Wright of Ringdale, PA. Agnes and Peter were the paternal grandparents of Robert E. Sweeney who contributed this picture in June 2000 in memory of his beloved grandmother. Kelly House Ruins Kelly Hill Road Forks, PA The large family of Daniel Kelly (1828-1902) and Mary Leahy (1840-1898) was born and raised in this old frame house. The children included Agnes (Kelly) Sweeney, May (Kelly) Marshall, Katie (Kelly) Sick, Josephine (Kelly) Sammons---a total of 18 children. This picture was taken by Lynn Franklin in 1997. In July 2006, Edward Kelly, great grandson of Daniel and Mary, visited the house ruins once again. There was very little left standing of the house. It is sad to see the result of years of neglect. Unfortunately, the house was essentially unoccupied after Ed's Uncle Joe Kelly's widow, Aunt Kate, left the farm soon after his death in 1939. Ed's mother purchased the farm from Aunt Kate's nephew in 1954 and did keep the roof repaired through the 1960s, but there was not very much done after those years. The reason why the "white house" in which Ed grew up on the original James and Johanna Flynn Kelly farm is in such good condition is that Ed has been fortunate to have had tenants living there since 1987. Were that not the case, it would probably go very much the way of the Daniel and Mary Leahy Kelly house. You can learn more about this family at the Kelly Family Reunion page. Burning Theater Mildred, PA February 1953 The theater was originally designed by Gordon Exley, the grandfather of Ernest Hatton, another of our contributors. Click here for another view of the Mildred Theater Fire, seen from a slightly different angle. This second photo is from an old postcard auctioned on eBay, courtesy of Deb Wilson. Baptismal Certificate Eugene Edward Long Born May 18, 1899 Baptized August 2, 1899 Reformed Church, Dushore, PA Reverend Elias S. Noll Eugene was the son of Julius Long and Mary Barth Long. Julius owned a laundry and the family lived on West Carpenter Street in Dushore at the turn of the 19th century. You can see his picture in the Picture Bin of the Image Gallery for this Web site. Picture contributed by his daughter, Phyllis Long Rockwell Bernice Hospital Bernice, PA The hospital was built for the coal miners who worked in Bernice, and was the first facility in the area to have electricity. Picture contributed by Tina Pastusic of Plains, PA, who obtained it elsewhere from family members. The hospital was built between 1912 and Sept 11,1913 when it was dedicated, then burned down Sunday, February 25, 1934. According to Linda Crawford, our source, her dad always said it was from "a moonshine still on the premises". The hospital was constructed after the Connell Anthracite Mining Company acquired the rights to the local mining industry in 1902, built a new collier and breaker, and invested in making Bernice a company town. Mrs. Bernice Jackson was the wife of one of the three speculators who invested in developing the town and its nascent coal industry, and therefore the town bears her name. Elizabeth "Betty" O'Brien As a Child Betty grew up and married John Zerby IIIrd on July 27, 1940. This picture is one of over 200 old pictures and several pages of unique documents found in the papers of the late Alvin Frawley and his wife Valeria Bahl Frawley. Both natives of the Overton/Forks area, Alvin and Val preserved the records of their family and related families for over sixty years. In mid-2000, their daughter-in-law Violet Thomas Frawley of Elmira, New York loaned these materials to Bob Sweeney to review and copy for the Sullivan County Genealogical Society. In time, these irreplaceable records of the Frawley, Bahl, O'Brien, Sweeney, Scanlin, Rouse, Conmey and other related families will be deployed on this site for the benefit of all. An initial display of the pictures, in raw form, without captions or analysis can be found at The Frawley Collection Preston Lafayette Crawford and Mary Caroline Thrasher Wedding Photo October 18, 1882 Many of the older families of Sullivan County are interrelated by marriage. In perhaps no case is the linkage more complex than that among the Hunsinger, Thrasher, Sayman and Crawford families. This picture introduces the parties to the marriage that brings together the Crawford and Hunsinger lines. Once they married, the family lived on a farm in Colley, although Mary Caroline came from Forks. Our contributor is Carol Hoose Brotzman, great-granddaughter of this couple. Additional pictures and information can be found in the section on the Crawfords and Hunsingers in Faces and Families. Fentie Virginia Salisbury (1878-1946) Wife of Charles Henry Dryer (1872-1937) Married January 2, 1895 Residents of Shunk, PA Fentie was the daughter of Elon Galusha Salisbury II (1842-1908) and Vicilla Chloe Shadduck (1846-1927). Both her parents are buried in the West Hills Cemetery in Shunk, PA, which is transcribed in the Churches and Cemeteries section of this page. Fentie and Charles were the parents of Ray Wilder Dryer (1914-1982) and the grandparents of our contributors Rod and Dick Dryer of Endwell, NY. Additional pictures and information on the Wilcox, Fanning, Salisbury, Shadduck and Dryer families and their history, from Massachusetts to Bradford and then Sullivan Counties, can be found at The Dryer Family Page. Thomas Patrick Cadden Born March 17th 1864, son of Thomas and Margaret Welsh Cadden, of Cherry Township. He was the brother of Anna Cadden Bergan, Mary Cadden Murphy, Katie Cadden Miller, Jennie Cadden Farrell, John J. Cadden, Nellie Cadden, Margaret Cadden Hope, Agnes Cadden (who died one month before him and whom he is buried with.), Josephine Cadden, and Alice Clare Cadden McDonald (wife of John C. McDonald). Thomas was a volunteer fireman in Kane, PA, and the only one in the history of that fire department to die in the line of duty. He was kiled by smoke inhalation on September 28th 1906, at the age of 41, and is buried in St. Basil's Cemetery, Dushore, PA. Contributed by Sharon Dore of Canada, his great-grandaughter The Frawleys and Bahls The date is June 14, 1926 and the occasion is the marriage of Alvin Frawley to Valeria Bahl in Overton. This picture shows the resepctive parents of the groom and bride. On the left are Elizabeth ("Lizzie") (Sweeney} Frawley and her husband Thomas Frawley. On the right are Ella Mary (O'Brien) Bahl and her husband Edward John Bahl. As was often the case in local history, this marriage brings together four prominent lineages, three Irish and one Alsatian. Each family's story can be found in the associated pages of this web site Photo thanks to Tom and Sandy Crossett.

Farmstead of John Conmey (1807-1889) Near Campbellville, PA Born the son of Bartholomew Conmey in Castleconnor, County Sligo, Ireland, John Conmey was related by marriage or blood to the Sweeney, O'Brien, Frawley and McCollum Families. Probably Taken About 1920. Photo from the Alvin and Catherine Bahl Frawley Collection with the Permission of Violet Thomas Frawley of Elmira, NY Farm of Thomas Frawley Pre-1921Near Overton, PAThis picture was obtained from Violet Thomas Frawley of Elmira, NY. It was one of several hundred pictures and old notebooks and genalogical charts preserved over the course of sixty years by Violet's father-in-law Alvin Frawley and his wife Valeria Bahl Frawley of Elmira. Alvin was a son of Thomas Joseph Frawley and Elizabeth Sweeney Frawley. Thomas owned and ran a farm near Overton until 1921 when Owen Sweeney, father of his wife "Lizzie", died. They then moved to Elmira. Thomas was a blacksmith by profession and there are other pictures from this collection that show him at his trade. Tom and Lizzie were married in 1897. He died in 1940 and Lizzie, by then known as "Mother Frawley" to her numerous children and grandchildren, died in 1960.

Here is what he says about his family history: "Most of my family comes from the Unityville/Lairdsville area and I have a few excellent photos. Shown here is the Minier Homestead located in Unityville and the Minier family. This photo was one that first got me interested in genealogy and history. The smallest child in the photo is my great-grandmother, Sarah Matilda (Tillie) Minier . She was the daughter of Thomas Benton Minier and Margaret Campbell, my great-great grandparents. Thomas was the blacksmith and Justice of the Peace in Unityville. You can see him at work in this old photo of his Blackship Shop."From left to right in the family photo are: Wilson W. Minier (born in 1876), Margaret Campbell Minier (born 5/4/1853; died 9/4/1942), Sara Matilda "Tillie" Minier Whitmoyer (born 11/26/1885; died 6/12/1939), Thomas Benton Minier Jr. (born 10/84; died 10/13/48), Tura Minier Hess (or perhaps "Crist"), Anna Margaret Minier Lore (born 6/27/78; died 2/23/58) and Thomas Benton Minier (born2/17/49; died 1927). The photo was taken in the spring of 1886 or 1887 based on the age of Sara Matilda. Aaron was told that the homestead was located in Unityville near where the fire station was then located in 2005.

Alienage

If you were not a native born or naturalized American, you could avoid the war by declaring your allegiance to another country. That is what Andrew Philbin of Forks Township did according to this document submitted by Tom Crossett. There is a lot of confusion about the Philbin heritage in Sullivan county, and which if any of the Philbins and their relatives were Civil War veterans.

Joanna Leahy.(1846-1913) Photo contributed by Chuck Cummiskey Great-grandson Joanna was the daughter of Patrick and Ellen (Flynn) Leahy of Knocklong Parish, County Limerick, Ireland. Patrick's brother Thomas Leahy married Ellen's sister, Mary Flynn. So brothers married sisters. The couples moved to the Sugar Ridge area near Overton, PA, and had many offspring. Joanna and her sister Anna in turn married Francis and Joseph Cummiskey, respectively. Once more, brothers married sisters. Francis and Joanna moved to Kansas and Joseph and Anna moved to Washington State. Joanna's first cousin, Mary Ann Leahy, daughter of Thomas and Mary, married Daniel Kelly, whose daughter Agnes Elixabeth (Kelly) Sweeney is pictured on the left side of this page. The Leahy children intermarried with Kelly, Jordan, Burke, Keefe, Cummiskey, Cullen, Dorsey and other major Irish families in the Bradford and Sullivan counties border area.

Dr. Kielty was a Captain in the US Army in World War Two. According to Edward Kelly: "Dr. Kielty was my mother's doctor for her first child, Joseph Kelly, who died in infancy in October 1941 during the epidemic at Mills Community Hospital in Towanda, PA that took the lives of a dozen babies". Ken Beirne relates that Dr. Kielty was the only physician in the area who was known to have worked with midwives in the delivery of children and was the doctor of record for his grandparents, Charles and Josephine (Kelly) Sammons and all of their children.

Thomas Burk Versus Henry Williams Business Litigation in 1877 The Court of Common Pleas in Laporte was the venue for every day commercial legal activity in Sullivan County. Presented here is a typical situation where one party, Thomas Burk of Canton, PA, is filing suit against Henry Williams for collection of a debt. The original legal docket for this case is now in the possession of the Sullivan County Historical Society and Museum. It was "packaged" in a cardboard-thick light brown legal wrapper and secured externally by a pink tie string. The artifact itself is a standard legal docket, in this case manufactured by F. S. Hasbrouck and Company, 26 John Street, NY. The internal contents of the case were handwritten on lined white paper. As you can see, the final page bears the signature of the local prothonotary, Henry Van Etten, and the actual seal of this Court. You can examine scans of the entire docket at Burk Versus Williams 1877.

The History of Overton (1910)

Overton House

Erected by Peter Sherman in 1868 as the first hotel in Overton. The first structure later burned. In 1877, James J. Hannon built the second structure, shown here. According to Ed Kelly, the Hannon Hotel was owned by James and Mary (Sullivan) Hannon. Mary was a daughter of Hanora Kelly Sullivan. The Hannons remained the hotel's owners until the death of Margaret (Maggie) Hannon in 1966. Maggie would entertain Ed's family in the parlor when he was growing up and always noted that they were cousins. Hanora Kelly was the sister of the four Kelly brothers who came to Kelly Hill near Overton in the 1800s.

Sewing Basket of a Pioneer Sewing or "cat" basket that belonged to Anna Hunsinger Thrasher. The basket was made by Anna's grandfather Bralich at least two hundred years ago. The basket was given to Ellen Sayman Reed, Anna's granddaughter in 1928. In her scrapbook was found the reference to its origin. The basket came to Carol Brotzman, who owns it today, from Ellen Crawfrod Shefler. Ellen purchased it when the old house originally lived in by her sister Maud Crawford Sayman was cleaned out and sold.

Elam and Margaret Hogaboom This is an old photo of the ancestors of our contributor, Darla Hogaboom. We do not know where it was taken or what year. The photographer was M.W. Nix.

Guild at John Streby Home This is an old photo of a guild meeting at the home of John Streby in 1898. We do not know which guild was meeting or picnicking there.

Barn Raising 1907 Swenson Farm Barn raisings were a common event in Sullivan County in the nineteenth century. According to Paul Neis, who contributed this photo: "When you see a photo of a barn raising, and the guys are pushing up a section of wall, that section is called a bent. It is not always a wall section; there are interior bents, too. The bents run lengthwise in the building, parallel to one another. The first two bents are raised and braced temporarily, then connecting beams and permanent braces are installed. Then the next bent, and its connectors, and so on. The photo of the raising shown here is about half-way up, and there are about 20 men pushing it with poles that must be 10-12 feet long."

Horse-Drawn Railroad About 1880 Cascade Township, Lycoming County Cascade is the largest township by area in Lycoming County and lies directly across the Sullivan County line from Hillsgrove. Note that the rails for this "railroad" are made of tree trunks. The wheels have no tires. The picture shows lumbermen hauling cut logs out of the woods using this unique method. Lumbermen were incredibly imaginative. Many of them or their parents had originally worked on construction of the canals before the rail era came about. The canal boats were occasionally actually drawn by horses thorugh the locks and other slow-moving areas. A large pulley or rope running from the boat to a team would permit the horses to pull the boat or barge along the course of the canal. So, the concept of using horses to pull a vehicle was familiar to these woodsmen. According to Bill Brenchley, one oldtimer from the area recalls the remains of the device from his childhood and refers to it as a "Tram".

Scrapbook of Aunt Eliza Green Rogers From some time in the 1870s, when she lost three children, until some time before her death in 1939, Eliza Green Rogers kept a scrapbook. As the second wife of Sadler Rogers, she had a large extended family of blood, marriage and step relationships. This collection represents an encyclopedic microscosm of Sullivan County society and personalities. The scrapbook was rescued from inadvertent destruction in 2004 by Carol Brotzman.
