Wilkerson" Subject: Leona Matteson Tasillo Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 15:35:15 -0800 Hi,Mattesons, Just wanted to post my great aunt's obituary. Carol Metzger Wilkerson Portland, OR ----------------------- Coudersport, Potter, PA Leona M. Tasillo, 93, of 108 W. Chestnut Street died Sunday, October 28, 2001 at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital. She was born at the family home on Fishing Creek Road, Hebron Township on February 7, 1908, the daughter of Arthur and Dawn Thompson Matteson. Mrs. Tasillo's life was closely tied to the history of the Hebron-Crandall Hill Community. Her father was a woodcutter who became one of Potter County's early potato growers on Crandall Hill. She was active in organizations and events of the community from the time of her childhood until her death. A sharp memory which went back to her early childhood made Mrs. Tasillo an important link with the past. She takes with her a credible oral history which extended, thanks to conversations with relatives as a child, back before the time of the American Civil War. Her first-hand recollections spanned most of the 20th century. Her memory, keen up until the time of her death, was an important historical and genealogical resource. Leona Matteson Tasillo attended the Hydorn School in Hebron for the first eight years of her education before moving to the "new" Coudersport High School (now the Adelphia Old Elementary School Building). After graduation in 1926 she attended the Mansfield Normal School for 11 summers while teaching throughout the school years. On November 24, 1936, she married Joseph N. Tasillo. He was a fireman and engineer for the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad. Joseph died Jan 17, 1970. Her long career as a teacher began at the Hebron Summit School near South Branch Road in Hebron Township. In 1927 she taught for one-year at the Greenman Hill School, moving the next year to the two-room schoolhouse at Coneville. She was at Coneville for several years before moving to the two-room Oswayo Borough School. She also spent one year at the Kenyon School near Oswayo. Mrs. Tasillo later returned to Coneville and then moved to the Sweden Valley School where she taught for many years before the school was closed in 1961 and was consolidated into the "new" Coudersport Joint Elementary School. She taught mostly in second grade classrooms at Coudersport Elementary School and, following her retirement after 37 1/2 years, she continued as a substitute teacher for many years. Her life of service extended well beyond her years as a teacher. Able to drive until the summer of her 93rd year Mrs. Tasillo helped provide entertainment, dignity and support for many friends and relatives. She was a member of the Potter-Tioga County School Retirees Association. She was also a member of the Park United Methodist Church and was active in the monthly Ladies' Prayer Breakfasts. Surviving are her nieces, Mrs. Everett (Marjorie) Gooch and Mrs. Kirk (Dawn) Newton, both of Coudersport, and Wanda Metzger of Lemoyne (the widow of her nephew, Arthur Metzger) and their families. In addition to her parents and husband, she is preceded in death by a sister, Thelma Metzger. Friends may call from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday at the Fickinger Funeral Home. Friends may also call at Park United Methodist Church on Thursday from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at which time funeral services will be held with her pastor, the Rev. Daniel H. Jordan, officiating. Burial will follow in St. Eulalia Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations may be made to Potter County Hospice, 1001 E. Second Street, Coudersport; the Coudersport Public Library, Park Avenue, Coudersport or Park United Methodist Church, 15 E. Third Street, Coudersport. at home on Fishing Creek Road

He thought that odd and stopped by. There was no answer at the door but John could see through a window Uncle lying on the floor. John got in touch with my dad and he came immediately. They broke in the house and drug him our into the fresh air and took him to our place for the night. It would not have been much longer until he would have died. Like · Reply · 2w Mary McClay Good to know, I knew they were all in the hospital, but my childhood mind heard it as the result of leak. So glad all were ok, Your reminder is so important to get my stories right. I remember there was much said about that the problem impacted the whole family's health. The good thing is that John came along. That was quite an experience. For ours at home, I was in 1st grade or 2nd I believe, and just remember it was dark when he came to the house, neither parent could really stand and walk, they were so sick. I felt so guilty that I brought the mumps home and gave them to Betty as well as my folks. Neighbors are so special to have! To all of us the idea that they/he could have died was a very earth shattering memory. We loved our cousins and elders so much.

Wilkerson" Subject: Leona Matteson Tasillo Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 15:35:15 -0800 Hi,Mattesons, Just wanted to post my great aunt's obituary. Carol Metzger Wilkerson Portland, OR ----------------------- Coudersport, Potter, PA Leona M. Tasillo, 93, of 108 W. Chestnut Street died Sunday, October 28, 2001 at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital. She was born at the family home on Fishing Creek Road, Hebron Township on February 7, 1908, the daughter of Arthur and Dawn Thompson Matteson. Mrs. Tasillo's life was closely tied to the history of the Hebron-Crandall Hill Community. Her father was a woodcutter who became one of Potter County's early potato growers on Crandall Hill. She was active in organizations and events of the community from the time of her childhood until her death. A sharp memory which went back to her early childhood made Mrs. Tasillo an important link with the past. She takes with her a credible oral history which extended, thanks to conversations with relatives as a child, back before the time of the American Civil War. Her first-hand recollections spanned most of the 20th century. Her memory, keen up until the time of her death, was an important historical and genealogical resource. Leona Matteson Tasillo attended the Hydorn School in Hebron for the first eight years of her education before moving to the "new" Coudersport High School (now the Adelphia Old Elementary School Building). After graduation in 1926 she attended the Mansfield Normal School for 11 summers while teaching throughout the school years. On November 24, 1936, she married Joseph N. Tasillo. He was a fireman and engineer for the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad. Joseph died Jan 17, 1970. Her long career as a teacher began at the Hebron Summit School near South Branch Road in Hebron Township. In 1927 she taught for one-year at the Greenman Hill School, moving the next year to the two-room schoolhouse at Coneville. She was at Coneville for several years before moving to the two-room Oswayo Borough School. She also spent one year at the Kenyon School near Oswayo. Mrs. Tasillo later returned to Coneville and then moved to the Sweden Valley School where she taught for many years before the school was closed in 1961 and was consolidated into the "new" Coudersport Joint Elementary School. She taught mostly in second grade classrooms at Coudersport Elementary School and, following her retirement after 37 1/2 years, she continued as a substitute teacher for many years. Her life of service extended well beyond her years as a teacher. Able to drive until the summer of her 93rd year Mrs. Tasillo helped provide entertainment, dignity and support for many friends and relatives. She was a member of the Potter-Tioga County School Retirees Association. She was also a member of the Park United Methodist Church and was active in the monthly Ladies' Prayer Breakfasts. Surviving are her nieces, Mrs. Everett (Marjorie) Gooch and Mrs. Kirk (Dawn) Newton, both of Coudersport, and Wanda Metzger of Lemoyne (the widow of her nephew, Arthur Metzger) and their families.

IN THE EARLY DAYS OF COUDERSPORT Paper By John Sohollard, of Hebron, Read Before the Potter County Historical Society. I was born in Coudersport in the year 1852. My people came here some time in the forties and settled in Coudersport. My father's occupation was railroading. That being a very poor occupation for a man in those days in Coudersport he went on the Erie Railroad as a brakeman on the passenger train running from New York to Covington, as the road was built only to that point at that time.

Our Farming Heritage

Potato Harvest, late 1940s

Peas were grown commercially here in the 1950s

More documentation of a 1950s pea harvest

Arthur Metzger Sr. on the tractor in the pea patch

Artie Metzger, sporting his red cap, King Of The Potato Bag Mountain

Arthur Metzger Sr. , circa 1952
standing in the front yard of the house
where we still live today

J. Walter and Thelma Matteson Metzger in the cow barn, circa 1956.
They were the grandparents of Arthur Metzger Jr.

Heifers in the pasture, circa 1953

Living on a farm provides many opportunities
to find ingredients for mud pies.

circa 1951

in their courting days

In this undated photo, Arthur E. Matteson
strides along the road that passes in front of the farmhouse.
Horse barn in the background is recognizable today

Walter Metzger with his team.
The 'Horse Barn" is seen at the right
Those faniliar with the farm will note that it's still standing

Late 1940s

This little guy would dearly love to add work horses
to our farm plan today!

Who's the lady in the background?

See the berry baskets attached to the belt?

What fun looking at these pictures! And congratulations on getting the organic certification! Hope to see you this weekend. Len and I will be coming to beautiful Potter County in the truck. I'll call and see if you want me to take some plastic trash off your hands... and maybe some nice lettuces if you have some. Love, Simone

- notice the Peets, John Peet saved my Uncle's and his family's life when the their furnace leaked fumes. He also was going by my folks one night and wondered why there was no light in the barn. So happens I had brought the mumps home from school and my parents who never had them got them and were horribly sick! Couldn't get the milking done. Johnny was the angel that did it. They were such a happy family. We always enjoyed the Bob Peet family visits to our farm.

Mary McClay The full story is that Uncle Ernie's entire family was in the hospital with pneumonia. He had been discharged and was home but the rest of the family were still in the hospital. John Peete drove by Uncle Ernie's place on Fishing Creek late at night and the lights were all on. He thought that odd and stopped by. There was no answer at the door but John could see through a window Uncle lying on the floor. John got in touch with my dad and he came immediately. They broke in the house and drug him our into the fresh air and took him to our place for the night. It would not have been much longer until he would have died.

Good to know, I knew they were all in the hospital, but my childhood mind heard it as the result of leak. So glad all were ok, Your reminder is so important to get my stories right. I remember there was much said about that the problem impacted the whole family's health. The good thing is that John came along. That was quite an experience. For ours at home, I was in 1st grade or 2nd I believe, and just remember it was dark when he came to the house, neither parent could really stand and walk, they were so sick. I felt so guilty that I brought the mumps home and gave them to Betty as well as my folks. Neighbors are so special to have! To all of us the idea that they/he could have died was a very earth shattering memory. We loved our cousins and elders so much.

IN THE EARLY DAYS
OF COUDERSPORT
Paper By John Sohollard, of Hebron, Read Before the Potter County Historical Society.
I was born in Coudersport in the year 1852. My people came here some time in the forties and settled in Coudersport. My father's occupation was railroading.
