McElroy Mrs Walter Lehman; Victor L. Mason, Oliver Watson, Mack Van Wegen F.W. Gunzburger RELATIVES INVOLVED WTH THE GRANGE (Repost) Central Grange at Sweden Valley, Potter County, PA 1. Hertha Mosch McElroy, 2. Margery Farley Mosch, 3. Blanche Erway, 4. Mary Erway Welfling Founded in 1867, the National Grange is the nation’s oldest general farm and rural public interest organization. Its history is one of progress and achievements for farmers and rural communities across the U.S.. Much of the National Grange’s history has been groundbreaking: it was the first nationwide farm organization to give women full voice and vote, more than a half-century before the adoption of Universal Suffrage in the U.S. In 1870, the National Grange became the first national farm organization to attempt to organize African American farmers following the Civil War. A system of cooperative business organization was introduced by the National Grange early in its history, developing into successful national and regional farm cooperatives. In 1876, the constitutionality of Granger Laws was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Beginning in 1916 through 1941, the National Grange secured passage of federal legislation to assist struggling farmers by strengthening their property rights and their bargaining position. The National Grange has continued to support farm legislation, as well as multilateral trade negotiations and food aid programs to open foreign markets to U.S. farmers. Its representatives were present to advise the U.S. delegation at the founding of the United Nations in 1945. It brought European farm teenagers to live with Grange families following World War II, to learn about modern agriculture practices and the advantages of democracy. It has participated in agricultural development programs for the U.S. Peace Cops. The organization was also instrumental in organizing rural electric cooperatives, telephone cooperatives, water service cooperatives, public utility districts, volunteer fire departments, and state police programs across the U.S. All these measures began with support at a local level. Today, the grange maintains that voice. In Pennsylvania, it serves its members with a credit union in Harrisburg and provides health insurance to groups such as farmers. At one time, farmers could only insure their machinery through the grange. COUSIN, JOHN PEET: “Our whole goal is family and community-oriented,” remarked, John Peet, a master at Odin Grange, Potter County.

Founded in 1867, the National Grange is the nation’s oldest general farm and rural public interest organization. Its history is one of progress and achievements for farmers and rural communities across the U.S..
Much of the National Grange’s history has been groundbreaking: it was the first nationwide farm organization to give women full voice and vote, more than a half-century before the adoption of Universal Suffrage in the U.S.
In 1870, the National Grange became the first national farm organization to attempt to organize African American farmers following the Civil War.
A system of cooperative business organization was introduced by the National Grange early in its history, developing into successful national and regional farm cooperatives.
In 1876, the constitutionality of Granger Laws was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Beginning in 1916 through 1941, the National Grange secured passage of federal legislation to assist struggling farmers by strengthening their property rights and their bargaining position.
The National Grange has continued to support farm legislation, as well as multilateral trade negotiations and food aid programs to open foreign markets to U.S. farmers. Its representatives were present to advise the U.S. delegation at the founding of the United Nations in 1945. It brought European farm teenagers to live with Grange families following World War II, to learn about modern agriculture practices and the advantages of democracy. It has participated in agricultural development programs for the U.S. Peace Cops.
The organization was also instrumental in organizing rural electric cooperatives, telephone cooperatives, water service cooperatives, public utility districts, volunteer fire departments, and state police programs across the U.S.
All these measures began with support at a local level. Today, the grange maintains that voice. In Pennsylvania, it serves its members with a credit union in Harrisburg and provides health insurance to groups such as farmers. At one time, farmers could only insure their machinery through the grange.
COUSIN, JOHN PEET: “Our whole goal is family and community-oriented,” remarked, John Peet, a master at Odin Grange, Potter County.

• 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?

John C Wetzel, Dad's bakery was in Pete Farmelo's old grocery store. Pete built a new store to the right of it. Today the TC Specialty Co. is in those buildings. This photo shows Pete walking from the Bakeshop to his store.
