Corry Notes from 1951 Cavalcade of Local Life
In Corry 20 years ago a November 23 1951 event included a Stanford Hose Ball at St. Edward's School with Allan Hasbrouck and his orchestra for dancing. Don Patterson led a rifle shoot at the Corry Rod and Gun Club range with a 242 string and perfects. A holiday wedding of Althea Kanyuck and Narcy Yenchak took place at Sue John's Lutheran Church in Nanticoke. The St Elizabeth church statue blessing occurred with Rt Rev John M Gannon presiding. The Corry Merchants tied Mayville on a goal line stand as a second straight scoreless finish left victory elusive.
