    1. [PABUTLER-L] More on Concord Church
    2. Howard A Topp
    3. Hi, My mother, Margaret Harper Topp, b: 5 Jul. 1897, d; 23 Sept. 1986, grew up in the area She went to Concord Church as a child. Ca 1983 we took her to a surprise visit to the Church. She about dropped her teeth when we drove up. She had many fond memories of the Church, Sadly I didn't have a tape recorder with me. However two things stick in my mind. As we stood on the porch she remembered a big oak tree in front to the left with a swing on it. She and her friends would take turns swinging. The other memory was of families coming over the hill to the west in their horse and buggies, After Church they would stay all afternoon to picnic and chat. I suppose that, for may of them, this was about the only real society that they had. I also have a copy of the book " Concord Presbyterian Church Hooker, PA The First 185 Years By: LeRoy S. Kuhn and Robert V. Mathias Dtd: 1979 It was given ot me by Mr. Kuhn during a visit to the area. It also includes an invitation to the 175th Anniversary Celebration of the Church in October 1979. I'll be glad to make copies for it my costs. It''s about 25 pages long. That's with two original pages/page. I tried scanning at it one time but had poor luck with the pictures. Maybe I'll try again. Regards, Howard A Topp
