Does anyone on this list have access to any of the city directories for Bradford and its surrounding areas? I realize that both the Bradford Landmark Society and the local library have most that were issued but it is not always convenient for me to call either facility and ask for lookups.
Also I have begun researching the Kendall Boro (including Tarport) families from 1870 forward in hopes of eventually writing a "Kendall Boro" book. I don't believe that such a publication has been previously done

Abraham WITHERUP
I received this from another county coordinator:
>>On May 25, 1902, an Abraham Witherup was lynched by a mass mob in Paris,
Monroe County, MO for murder.
Celia TOY WITHERUP was married to an Abraham Witherup(Withrup). They lived
in Bradford, McKean County.There are few Witherups in the whole of the USA,
let alone Abraham's.
She is researching the story because it is the only lynching in her county.
I am trying to help her. It would really help us if we had the obit for the
