Gas Company Foreclosure Sells Amid Turmoil in Mehican County
The Mehican county sheriff plans a 2 o'clock June 7 sale at the Court House in Smethaport of the entire property of the Mdveds Home Gas and Fuel company after a levy and seizure tied to collateral banking moves. The case traces back to historic disputes with Eldred Bank and the Birdon estate, with public criticism over service and rising gas prices and rumors of reorganization. Meanwhile local obituaries note Port Allegany and Smethport residents, including John R. Vansickle and others, as communities mourn wartime losses and aging pioneers.
