1895 - May 10 - Friday - "The Blossburg Advertiser": One of the earliest settlers in the township of Union, was Elias Withey, a native of Vermont, and his wife, Anna Kilborn, of Connecticut ancestry, who settled in Union April 3rd, 1837, fifty-eight years ago. Union was a wilderness then, not a half-dozen families within its present boundaries. He purchased a tract of one hundred acres located on the hillside nearly opposite the Alfred Jackson farm, and began falling timber and letting in the sun. It was a hard struggle but he and his good wife succeeded in making themselves and children a home. They were Sally, who married Henry Matthews, of Bloomingrove; SANDFORD, of Union; Alonzo of Morris; Eloise, who married Joseph Winder, of Loyalsock; Deborah Ann, who married Simon Hufford, of Wyoming and they had a daughter, Kathryn E., who was born in Pittston and married a Boyce; Hiram, who died in a rebel prison pen; Caroline, who married George Wood of Williamsport; Electa, who married Jackson Hunter, of Lycoming. Sandford has continued to reside in Union for the past 58 years and has witnessed the change that has been made in that township from a wilderness to one of pleasant homes and productive farms.
