For those of you not familar with the lay of the land, Elmira, NY is just "over the state line" and due north of the other towns mentioned so far that are in Pennsylavania. Canton, Alba, and Troy lie along the main road (SR 14) to Elmira and are about 30 miles away.<br /><br />Even today, people from the still rural, sleepy towns of Troy, Alba, and Canton, PA shop in the malls and stores in Elmira, NY.<br /><br />Nettie's father's extensive family lived in this "upstate PA" region and some of the others, like the Goits, and Mccombs (her mom's side) came from the southern tier of NY (which would include Elmira).<br /><br />Council Bluffs, Iowa was a long way away - but in the fastest transporation of the day, it would have been a fairly simple railroad train ride (or two) to get "home".<br /><br />I agree with Star... this dude could be walking the streets today and noone would think twice. :)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-85967071281813477012011-01-14T05:25:20.380-06:002011-01-14T05:25:20.380-06:00Sometimes faces seem to belong to certain epochs, ...Sometimes faces seem to belong to certain epochs, but, put a rugby shirt on this young fellow, and he'd look like someone we'd see around us, today. Seems so pleased and confident. I hope his dreams were fulfilled.Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350579051520505525noreply@blogger.com
