If we lived them I'm pretty sure I worked like a machine in one of these camps. They were only 1 or 2 maybe 3 generations in from the early settlers (does that sound right?). Hard core those people. That is the sort of stock most of us come from. 2Like · Reply · 2w Grace Titus Did you send me more info? Like · Reply · 2w Peg Ellis How can I learn more about these camps?

There was rail service into Wellsville and Genesee as well as Harrison Valley and Galeton.
