Ruth Deitrick, Bessie and Anna Belle's father was Frank L Blow. He would have been born around 1860 or so. He had a son Frank E. Blow born in 1893. This picture is probably Frank E.

Births here seem to be more like 1910-1912- e.g. Paul Toombs and Weldon Welfling, resp. Another generation yet? I estimate the photo, CHS track&field or cross country team? 1928.

1929 - WELDON WOODROW WELFING
Weldon Woodrow Welfling (1912-1978) is the son of Potter Co. School Superintendent, Rudolph O Welfing (1877-1918) and school teacher, Potter County Historical co-founder, Mary E Erway (1880-1974). After high school, Weldon went on to be a medical doctor in Shaker Heights, Ohio.
Doug Vaughan, knowing that your dad’s family resided in Sweden Valley, Coudersport, do you have any knowledge of the Francis Vaughn (different spelling), 2nd from left in the front row?

Doug Vaughan
Paul, I don't have photos at hand to compare but it's possible that's my great-uncle Francis, surname misspelled in caption; any family resemblance is remote, however. ("Our" Francis looked more like the taller guy kneeling in the front row, middle: can you check that typed caption?) Chronology is off, too: My grandfather Sewell Vaughan moved his own family from my great-grandfather's farm on Sweden Hill to Sweden Valley in mid-1930s, when my dad was 6-8, to take a job working on the roads for the county during the Depression. But a couple years later they moved to Genessee. By the time of this photo, 1923, Sewell's youngest brother, Francis Lyle Vaughan, born 1911 in KY, would have been 12; he may have attended school in Coudersport but this "Francis Vaughn" looks older. Ours moved from the farm, too, in late 1930s, joined the Army, served in Washington, DC, area assigned to the Pentagon/War Dept, rose to colonel, retired in the late 50s, moved to AZ, died heirless in Fairfax, VA in mid-60s. I'll get biographical details and get back to you.

Doug Vaughan, my error. Francis is the tall guy, center front.
I would say that these guys are closer to 16-18 years old and that would put this photo at circa 1929. This is a Potter Co. Historical Society photo.

I find it fascinating to see old pictures and knowing what happens with/to/by them later in life.... and vice versa. George Brehmer, standing next to Weldon, perpetrated a murder-suicide in 1937 in downtown Coudersport, a love triangle that involved the brother John William Scott of my neighbor on Center Park St, Ken Scott, from Hebron. Tragic.

John, I know this story. Ken Scott was my 2nd cousin 1x removed. His mother Mabel Violet Clark Scott and my grandmother, Grace Clark Kenealy were first cousins, their fathers were brothers. Didn’t recognize Brehmer name. Thanks for being so thorough!

Brenda Kenealy Williams I had the relationships in my Tree but I hadn't worked it out, your relationship to Ken et al. I was shocked when I started researching the neighborhood and found out that Ken and Clara Drabert Scott came from old Hebron families. It had never occurred to me as a kid that they came from ... anywhere, and that they had histories and... I spent a lot of time with ken back in the day.

George Rudolph
Well Known Man Dies Suddenly
About Business As Usual Monday, Dies Early Tuesday Morning!
Born In Germany But Long Resident of Coudersport.
The death of George Rudolph, which occurred at an early hour Tuesday morning (August 12, 1947), was a distinct shock to his large circle ot friends. Mr. Rudolph, who operates a restaurant and tap room on South Main Street, had
GEORGE RUDOLPH
been about his business as usual Monday. He had worked late Monday night. When the announcement was made Tuesday it was difficult to realize he had completed life's journey.
George Rudolph was born in Germany April 6, 1887. He came to this country and resided at Germania for some years. He married Martha Schumaker at Galeton, April 19, 1911. For a time the family resided at Hammondsport, N. Y but for about 30 years they had made their home in Coudersport.
Mr. Rudolph was a member of the Lutheran Church, Hammondsport Lodge, No. 495, F. & A. M., Royal Arch Chapter, No. 263, Potter Commandery, No. 69, and Coudersport Consistory. He was for a time a member of Coudersport Rotary Club.
His widow, two children, a sister and two brothers survive. The children are
Roland and
Ruth Rudolph of Coudersport; the sister is
Mrs. Elizabeth Deiseroth of Galeton, and the brothers,
Charles of Rochester and
Walter of Cuba, N. Y. There is one granddaughter,
Judy Rudolph of Coudersport.
A brief service will be held this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock and the funeral from the Lutheran Church at 2:30, with the Rev. J. Wilbur Drawbaugh officiating. The Masonic committal service at the grave will be conducted by John W. Mahaley, Clair Strick, George Hodges and Bernard Hauber.
The pallbearers are to be
Adolph Gagnor,
Ned P. Clark,
William Long,
Willis Potter,
Howard McNulty and
Harry Shaver.
Jack Havens Appointed Parking Meter Policeman
Jack Havens, former owner of the Smoke Shop here and more recently employed at the Central Buick Garage, is the new parking meter policeman.
He succeeds Paul Rickert, Marine veteran, whose resignation became effective Saturday.
A long-time resident of the Borough, Mr. Havens was the unanimous choice of the Council to succeed Mr. Rickert.

When I started work at Denton Hill Ski Stanley "Ski-foot" Kowalski worked there as the Tannery had shut down a bit before. Within a few weeks all the bucks were showing the size of their antlers by picking (one hand)up a 100 lbs anvil by the horn (horn aimed to heaven). A few could pick it up for a minute or so then Mr. Kowalski stepped up. He had big hands and they must of been made of steel. He picked it up walked half way down the parking lot and back. Now he was retirement age at the time. Every mother's son who worked at the tannery was hard as nails. Not one easy job there. Everyone of those fellas should be shown respect for putting up with what they did to feed and take care of their families. Not many of them left and God Bless every last one of them. Real men who did real work.
