To Mary Belizemcb@aol.com and other BOLSTER researchers in Crawford County. I only find two references to this surname in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 556, in the history of Greenwood Township, Borough of Geneva: "In 1863, when the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad was constructed, Sutton's Corners, as the place was then called, contained seven or eight families. Peter and Sylvester, in the spring of 1860, had started the first little store, teaming the goods from Meadville; the establishment changed ownership several times in as many years. Miller Sutton was blacksmithing in a little shop on the site of Armour's Hotel, the southwest corner of Main and Center Streets, and several farmers and laborers were living on the site of the village. John Sutton and John Gelvin were the proprietors of farms comprising what is now the south part of the village, Sutton west and Gelvin east of Main Street, while the north part was owned by C.G. BOLSTER and J.D. Christ. Since the railroad was completed the progress of the village has been steady, and it now contains six general stores, a drug store, a furniture store, three hotels, a harness shop, two shoe shops, four blacksmith shops, three wagon shops, a stave factory, a planing-mill and manufactory of horse rakes, washing-machines, picket fences, etc., started by Alfred and Daniel Hafer about 1873 (now owned by D.E. Smith), two physicians, a graded school, two churches and two societies." On page 559, in the same section: "Geneva Lodge, No. 408, K. of P., was instituted September 27, 1873, with ten members: W.W. Gelvin, D.W. Harroun, C. McMichael, L.D. Strayer, B. Sutton, H.W. Sutton, W.A. McKay, W.K. BOLSTER, A.B. Cushman and J. Carman. One hundred and thirty-one members have been initiated, and the membership is now seventy. Meetings are held every Saturday evening." Hope this helps somewhat.
