MARGARET'S DIARY: A PENNSYLVANIA FARM WIFE'S JOURNAL, 1904-1919
Margaret Gilpin Hazelton lived in the Greentown area for most of her life and
she meticulously kept a daily diary from 1904 -1919. She records seeing
Haley's Comet and her first airplane, taking her first automobile ride, and
writes about her daily life experiences. She married Fletcher Hazelton who
was a farmer. GDHS partnered with Wallenpaupack Historical Society and published
the diaries in a 510 page book. Over 500 births, marriages and deaths of
Margaret's family, neighbors and friends are noted in the diaries. This is
an excellent source for genealogy research as well as interesting reading.
The book is available for $22.00 (which includes sales tax) plus $3.00 for
mailing from the Wallenpaupack Historical Society
website. Proceeds benefit both historical societies. |

FLOOD!. This publication, written by local
author Peggy Bancroft for the historical society in 2005, contains oral histories of
local residents who recount the 1955 flood which devastated the region and
resulted in 13 deaths in the Wallenpaupack Valley communities of South
Sterling, Greentown and Hawley. Written in Peggy's unique style, the
book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the tragedy. FLOOD! is
available for $20 (plus $3 for shipping and handling).
Contact the historical society for your copy. |
