Weather reminiscences and railway petition near Tip Top
The letter recalls weather-echoing talk and an old settler’s tales while a Meadville paper quotes a pastor’s fiery address as “full of fire and vigor” with a minister later described as “full of pie and vinegar.” Nearby Tip Top, residents sign a petition urging Exie Railway to stop trains 10 4 and 29 to aid many locals and the rail company. Elmer J Abbott of Perrye Hess records a sheep feeding feat, fattening 18 head to average 12 pounds each before shearing, an indicated 32 pound gain per head in a short period.
