Hello to all ! I made a trip to my safety deposit box today....I found my great grand fathers state police pin and E.E. Smth's State Police pin. I doubt they were really police as we know today. In the Historical societies information abt. John Benson Morris they started a Methodist Episcopal Church in Fairfield, Crawford Co. which I believe is part of Meadville? There is an old gold coin that says First Centenary. At any rate the only time E.E. Smith and John Benson Morris were together in the same locale it was in Meadville. What were the State Police circa 1870? And I suppose this shows I should go to church more but what is the First Centenary? Thank you for thinking about it or sharing what you know. Is there an organization I can write to? Vanda Greenwood Vanda444@aol.com
