FYI: The borough of Mount Joy, located in Lancaster County, was named for the ship on which the people came who settled that area- the good ship Mount Joy. The Borough's logo still carries an image of the ship and the local people are quite proud of it. -----Original Message----- From: Dora Smith <tiggernut_48@yahoo.com> To: PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com <PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, August 31, 2000 9:16 PM Subject: RE: [PACHESTE] Re:IS EVERYTHING BLUE IN WINTER THERE? >Intercourse and Mount Joy?
