As ever, still enjoying your input to your website and amazed that you have the time and energy to keep it up.
You mentioned sending in useful items. While I can't help on school year books or things of that ilk, it occured to me that I do have a bit of history of Litchfield, Bradford Co. My ancestor Samuel Ball had a little black book and it this book he recorded the birth of his seven children starting in 1827. One of his sons joined the war effort during the Civil War and mentioned that he didn't know when he was born, that it was in his dads book and he didn't know where that was. Well it was being held by my great grandfather Amos Moses Ball and I am now the proud caretaker. I will in a day or so send you his listing of his children
and then on the last page is an interesting list of a debt owed him by someone. Will include that as well.
For now Joyce, have a very nice holiday season and happy new year.
