      In the 1930’s, mill and foundry bus runs were made as shift
     changes.  The bus went through Oklahoma to Blairton and then
        down Paulton Hill to the West Apollo Railroad Station.

     Hi  Mary I read your story about the Hyde Park Glove Co. also the
     tunnel.  I  thought you might be interested in some pictures.  My
     mother  worked at the Glove Co. I think she was about  16  or  17
     years old. That would be about 1914 or 1915. I sure do enjoy your
     stories  from there and thank you.  R Kunkle Jr.  Check  out  the

     Massy Harbison was captured by Indians while sleeping in her
      cabin near Freeport.  This was in May 1792.  She managed to
      escape six days later and was rescued on Six Mile Island by
                         several frontiersmen.
