    3. Thank you for typing that off for us. I grew up in Sunbury . I think a big brick Church is on Fourth and Vine now. My grandparents (SHULTZ) lived across the street 316 N Fourth and my great grandparents ( OSMAN's) lived around the corner on Vine. So I find this note interesting.

First Electric Light First successful use of a three-wire electric lighting system was made July 4, 1883 in the City Hotel building in Sunbury. Thomas A Edison directed the work. The Edison Electric Illuminating Co. was at 4th and Vine Streets. Lee --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone.
