• Decline of County Lumber Industry Reflected in Census
Recent Figures Showed Population Of About 50 Of Peak Figure In 190O First Count In 1810 Listed 29 Persons.
Potter County's lumber boom at the turn of the century and its subsequent decline are reflected in census figures for this county over the past 140 years. The present population, recorded in preliminary figures as of April I, is 16, 752, slightly more than half the peak figure of 30,621 recorded in the 1900 census.
Population 29 in 1810
The earliest count made in the. county was in 1810, with 29 persons numbered. The figure climbed, slowly at first, with the following: totals: 1820, 186; 1830, 1,265; 1840,. 3,371. and 1850, 6,049.
The census of 1860 showed a population of 11,470, and 10 years later the figure had dropped slightly to II, 265. Another rise was shown in 1880, when 13,797 Potter Countians were listed.
Fast-growing lumbering operations boosted the population to 22,-778 in 1890, with the peak reached 10 years later.
Steady Exodus
By 1910 the total had declined a little to 29,729. As the timber was removed from the hills, people began drifting away, as shown by these census totals: 1920, 21,089; 1930, 17,489, and 1940, 18,201, a slight increase was erased in the past decade.
Two Escape Serious
Injury In Freak Accident
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Setzer, Coudersport R. D., narrowly escaped serious injury or death when the tractor on which they were riding plunged through a barn floor and fell about 12 feet, according to reports.
Mrs. Setzer received a leg injury. Her husband leaped and emerged unscathed.

Paul Lynn Gardner Note in Ralph Haskins Heart Attack; his interest in baking took him to the Bamford Bakery, thence to your dad's Baker, Larry's Bakery. Was this just down the block from The Sharon Lee Shoppe and Heimel's?

Dale Fry, my bus driver too. An under-rated job; I remember him going to the back of the bus several times to discipline. I liked him a lot. Was he missing part of a foot? One of his shoes seemed that way and I think he limped. I wonder what had happened.

I lived in that house my first ten years of childhood (1950-1960). The interior was uniquely decorated with several types of hardwoods in the millwork.
