More from Francis Waid's Second Souvenir In the afternoon of December 24, my brother, George N., and myself took the train at Meadville for Jamestown, N.Y., where we stopped over night with our cousin, Frank Colt, and family. We were happy to find them all well, including dear old Aunt Ann Simmons, now nearly eighty-six years of age, and who is living with Mr, Colt. My brother and I had visited relatives in this county in October last, and at the same time we called on two of our aged aunts--Aunt Phoebe Goodwill (who was then resideing with her son-in-law, Frank Sturgis, near Centreville) and Aunt Clarinda Morehead (living with her son, Charles, near Townville). Although Mrs. Morehead lives so near my brother, yet he had not seen her for eighteen years. After buying our tickets at Jamestown, we had a very pleasant time on the train as we journeyed together, and also in the evening. On Christmas Eve we arrived at Athens, Bradford Co., PEnn., having enjoyed an exhilarating four mile walk from Waverly, the train having failed to connect at that point. The last time I was in Athens visiting relatives was twenty-four years ago, in company with my parents and wife. What a change! How many had bade adieu to earth! My brother and I called on our cousin Fayette Allen, and his wife, whom my brother had not seen for fifty years, and whom I had not met since September, 1861, over twenty-four years ago. We visited sseveral places of note in Athens--the Union Bridge Works, furniture factory, new school building and the Tioga Point Cemetery. The old cemetery is within the limits of Athens. In the former my uncle Fayette Allen's father, and other relatives are interred. On my uncle Allen's headstone is inscribed the following: "L. M. Allen, Born June 19, 1793: Died January 9, 1870." Among other relatives we called upon in Athens was our cousin, Mrs. Sarah Corby. Mr. and Mrs. Corby have three sons and two daughters, all living and married.Fayette Allen has one son and one daughter, both married and living in Athens, and we called on them also. All our relatives in Athens were in good health when we visited them, but we were informed by Mr. Allen that Clarissa Hart, his sister, who was a resident of Williamsport, Penn., had died September 16, 1888. Leaving Athens on the 27th my brother and I stayed a short time with our relative, Charles E. Corby, at Waverly, N.Y., and took dinner. We shall ever remember with true pleasure our short visit with the newly-married couple. After this short pleasant visit, our relatives, including Mr. Allen, accompanied us to the train, and with a farewell shake of the hand we parted. On arriving at Elmira, a town some eighteen miles from Waverly, we found we had to wait till the evening train on the Tioga Branch, in order to reach Millerton, in Tioga County, Penn., a place some twelve miles distant from Elmira. Our cousin, Homer C. Waid, resides at Millerton, and I had written to him to expect us, but hardly supposed he would come to the train at night, and raining as it was, yet there he was, lantern in hand, in the darkness, patiently awaiting our arrival and ready to greet us. We were soon at his home, where we were made welcome by Mrs. Waid and her son, Roy D., and daughter, Flora. I had not seen Mrs. Waid since they moved from Blooming Valley, twelve years ago. Over twenty-five years ago, she made her home with us, I think, part of two summers, and from that time our friendship continued, although our visits had ceased since they left Blooning Valley, Meadville, in 1876, until now.
