Resource Type text Publisher Potter County Historical Society Place of Publication Coudersport, Pa. Date of Publication 1949 [Luther Sr, I think -jcw20170801] In 1827 Luther Strong came from Allegany County, New York, and purchased 117 acres of land extending from Seventlh Street northward. On a. site east of the Anchor Toy factory he built a saw mill and a grist mill. He sold the property for $2500 to Julius Crittenden by deed on January 16, 1843. Mr. Crittenden sold 87 acres of the original tract, together with the mill property, to Dr. 0. T. Ellison for $725, having disposed of the remainder for village lots in 1873. Henry Crittenden built a mill at the mouth of Dump Hollow which is often confused with the Julius Crittenden Mills. Luther Strong was assisted in building his mills by Nathan Crary who made a clearing on the top of west hill and built a house. but abandoned it when he discovered that the land had been allocated by John Keating -for school purposes. The hill was called Crary Hill for many years. In 1829 Dennis Hall built a laige dwelling house on the northeast corner of East and Third Streets. It was the first house to have plastered rooms. John Peet, who, in 1811 settled on the river road one halt mile below Coudersport, was the first to act in the capacity of a preacher. He officiated at funerals and frequently read sermons or preached extemporaneously. In 1825 Father Conant, a Methodist missionary, living et what now is Westfield, Pa., came by way of Pine Creek and held services in the homes of the settlers. family search 20170802 not merged Luther Alfred Strong 3 August 1812 - 8 October 1863 • LZV6-BV6 ?

BENJAMIN RENNELLS died Wednesday morning, May 16, 1917 at his residence on First Street, after failing rapidly for a week or more, at the advanced age of 95.

Born in Bradford County where Canton now stands, April 5, 1822. His father, Ezra Rennels came to Potter County when Ben was nine years old, but afterwards returned to Bradford County to care for his parents. He came here to work on the Coudersport and Jersey Shore turnpike, the first outlet for Potter County to the outside world. Of the four boys, Ben, Alvin, George, and Ezra, remained in Potter, which was then a most primitive settlement. Ezra was killed by a fall in the Coudersport stone quarry, while Alvin lived to a good old age as a farmer in Summit Township. They had two sisters, but now all the family are dead.

Even at 95, Mr. Rennells had a clear recollection of his early life and the stirring events incident to the settlement and development of this back woods section. He made his home with Major Isaac Strait while a young man and upon reaching his majority, learned the blacksmith trade, at which he worked continuously, with the exception of three years when he engaged in farming to improve his health. He maintained a shop in Coudersport until his 60th year.

In July 1847, he was married to Maria Nelson and to them three children were born. One died in infancy, and a daughter, Martha, died at 18. The son, W. Cyrenus, married Ella Strait, and they have three children, Cora, a teacher in the Coudersport schools; Edna, wife of Lee Vorhees, a banker in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and William, also of Okmulgee. W. Cyrenus Rennells has held many boro and county offices, and is at present county auditor. He and his good wife have given the aged father the most patient care during his declining years.

Benjamin Rennells has been one of the most highly respected of the many noble pioneers of Potter County, a man of sound judgment, total abstinence, kindliness and rugged honesty. He was a member of the M. E. Church, in which he was for many years, a veritable pillar. He was a charter member of Eulalia Lodge, F. and A. M., of which he was Past Master.

The funeral will be held Friday at two o’clock at the house.
