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. |
