Karl, If you can tell me the name of the person, where they died, etc., I may be able to help you with the Boals Gap one. Tussey Sink is another name for that region around Tusseyville in Potter Township. The creek that runs through the area is called Sinking Creek. I know that many things in the area -- including Tussey Mountain -- were named for an early family by that name, of whom almost every trace and record is gone; yet, their name is perpetuated by the countless locales and landmarks which are called by it even today. > 1. "...buried Sunday in the new Cem. at Boals Gap..." as reported in a 5 > Feb 1903 newspaper. > Where is "Boals Gap" and what "new" -- as of 1903 -- cemetery might be > referenced here? > > 2. I see a number of references to Tussey sink, with _sink_ never > capitalized. Is that Tusseyville or some other place?
