From The Daily Review Towanda, PA - Submitted by Reva Wagner The following information was taken from the October 22, 1987 Daily Review.  The information is not typed word for word, most of it is completely out of context.  I took information from the articles in order to use the Surnames so that people searching for more recent relatives could get an idea as to where some of their families were in 1987.  The information is correct, just not worded exactly as the newspaper, a shortened version in most cases.  I typed no arrest or conviction information to avoid problems for those in the cases that were found to be not guilty or have served sentences for their crimes.  I avoided putting exact information on family members (such as addresses) in the articles, to protect family members that do not want this information made public to be bothered by others seeking further information.  All surnames have been capitalized and darkened to aid those wishing to find family members.Reva Wagner
