His grandfather Lloyd Bowersox was born in 1883 in Snyder County. When he was about 13 years old he was sent to Ohio to live with an uncle there. While there, his classmates wrote letters and sent in one envelope to him. This was evidently a project for the class. These letters are dated 03/11/1897 and were mailed from Northumberland, PA. Those writing the letters were: RALPH VANDEVENDER BERTHA M. SWARTZ EVA M. BAKER NORA WERT GRIER BOWERSOX (brother of Lloyd) ANNIE SNYDER TIM ? ESTELLA LONG WALTER ? (maybe Nackert or something similar) CLAIRE SCHOLVIN (I found her on SSDI from Selingrove, Snyder Co) MARY DELPHI EARL GERNBERLING RALPH RUSSELL FRANK BIRD EDITH GLOVER (Teacher) Some of the names mentioned in the letters (other than those above) are: Tim Van Glen, Verna Allen, Ethel Lesher, Ollie Taylor, Dorthea Wenerick, Bertha McGreary, Emma Lloyd, Maggie Clark, May Scott. If any of these are part of your family line, let us know and we will send you a scanned copy of your ancestor's letter. Barbara and Bob Collier
