    1. Western Reserve Centennial Souvenir by H U Johnson, 1896
    2. TWAS NO USE - On the morning of November 13th, 1833, a stage load of men, mostly from the East, but including Judge Rayen of Youngstown, were about starting from the little Mahoning valley town for Cleveland on business connected with the proposed canal, when the great fall of stars burst upon their view. "OH _ I" exclaimed the judge, "there is no use going, for the world is coming to an end." The phenomena was a wonderful one and scared many people, among them some young ladies of Braceville, who arose and dressed themselves, that they might enter clad into judgment. The judge's prediction was no more fulfilled than has been that of many a Millerite and Adventist since, but the canal came, only to give place to railroads for the "Iron City of the Valley."
