Eldred Kevin, Your history of Lycoming College was very good. Would your "History of Lycoming College" book mention Charles Dodson ELDRED? He was a trustee when the grounds were purchased on which Dickinson Seminary is located, and the first part of that structure was erected during his term of trusteeship. I am not able to verify that through the college, although I have it from a couple of sources. Charles D. ELDRED was very influential in the history of Williamsport and the surrounding area. By a close vote, Eldred Township was named in his honor. Eldred
