    1. Re: [PANORTHU-L] Mt. Carmel - First Town with Electric Street lights
    2. Hello, I have an article that relates to electric lights in Sunbury and in Shamokin. If you would like a copy send me your email addresses and I will send it. This was regarding Edison and my g.grandfather Hezekiah Floyd who worked with Edison, and learned about wireing electric lights and then Floyd and his son wired St. Edwards Church for electricity. It was supposedly the first Catholic Church in the world to be lighted by electricity. The article was in a newspaper called The Catholic Witness dated Aug.22, 1968. Names I am researching are Holshue/Reed/Rinard/Eisenhart/Keiper/Floyd/O'Gara in Pennsylvania. Diane Tesene
