Ooops! That was a big goof! You can tell ... my website is participatory; I needed Barb to watch my back! She is, of course, right, and I have now changed the page. Who knew! Sometimes I wish it was impossible for any state to use the same county name as one in another state. Would make my job a lot easier. Thanks, Barb. Sorry, folks. Hope you enjoy the OTHER material on The POORHOUSE STORY. LOL Linda -----Original Message----- From: Barb S.

(1854-1873)" http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/vshadow2/outlines/other.fr.html#poorho use If you will go to this site you can read what "The Valley of the Shadow" is about. It is about Franklin County, Pennsylvania and Augusta County, Virginia. http://jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU/vshadow2/choosepart.html#story Good Luck! Barb S. Franklin Co., Va.
