My mother was born there above the post office in 1922. Her mother had a hard time and her blood ran through the floor and through the ceiling to the post office below. My mother's father's family had all moved there from Tioga County during the first world war because work was better in Vintondale. When my grandpa got home from the navy in 1918 he went to Tioga County and found eveyone had gone to Vintondale, so he took the train and joined them there. He and his brothers and father and uncles worked for the coal & iron police, busting heads and getting their heads busted in return, I'm sure. It was a wild a wooly place then.
