Wonder where & when this photo of JS was taken? JS built the house @ 15 East Brown St. in Castanea PA, next door to the
UM church. He worked at the paper mill, i.e. the New York
& Pennsylvania Company. His father was Robert Curtin Poorman.

Some landmarks in my first neighborhood @ Castanea PA
- Community United Methodist Church
- Castanea Elementery School
- Castanea Fire Company
- Castanea Township
Sorry I can't link you to any websites in Castanea, can't find any,
maybe no one there has a PC yet; they don't even have a traffic light, never did, and don't want one.
The biggest thing that happened since I left in 1960 was the Fire Company picnic grounds got toilets.
I think they once had a library, but someone lost the book. They used to have a gas pump, but you had to crank it.
Now they don't even have one. Oops, sorry, the Piper Memorial Airport has a website, and they are in
Castanea township (I think?), but the City of Lock Haven owns it. Well, Clinton County is not exactly a metropolis.

My dad was a member of the Citizen's Hose Company in Lock Haven for many years. He used to take me along to set up (and tear down) for the annual festival when I was
a kid.
