Margaret;
This is not in reply of your posting but it reminded me to e-mail you.
I believe you were the person that told me there was a Baneville S W of
Pitts,PA
I could never find it so I called the county elections board and it is
indeed S W of
Pitts,PA BUT; it is called BANETOWN.
We plan on visiting once the weather clears just to check it
out................
Thanks for you help
