I am from the Town of Sheldon Historical society. If you by chance come
across anything from the Sheldon, Varysburg, Johnsonburg and Strykersville
area in those old papers we would love to hear about it, or at least the
date of paper so I could look it up on microfilm.. What a nice job. Thanks!
Keep it up.
