Special consider. ation will be given Centre county Miss Ella Levy Reviews Early History of Milesburg and At the recent celebration held in! Milesburg in honor of the 150th an- niversary of that community, a most interesting historical sketch was read by Miss Ella Levy, who is recognized as one of the county's leading auth- orities in matters pertaining to local history. Miss Levy, retired Bellefonte school teacher, has spent much of her time in recent years in gathering and pre- paring information on the history of Milesburg, Boggs township and the early settlers of that area. She has a remarkable memory for names, events and places. Last week, Lieut. Col. L. Thomas David, of Pt. Meade, Md., who was to have been a speaker at the Sesqui- Centennial program, but who was unable to obtain a leave of absence at that time, visited in Milesburg and was the guest of Miss Levy and Mrs, Prank L. Wetzler. Col. David's ancestry runs back to Joseph Green, postmaster of the first postoffice es- tablished in Centre County, at Miles- burg, on March 13, 1797. He repre. sents the sixth generation of the family since then. The text of Miss Levy's Besqui- Centennial address follows: History is simply the story of man’s achievements resulting from the power given by the Great Cre- ator to have “domination over all the earth” i In this celebration we will attempt to review some of these achieve- ments in one very small area, ‘Boggs Township It is fitting coincidence that July 18th has been chosen, for today is the 173rd anniversary of the first survey of the Town of Milesburg. Included also in this survey is the William A. Thomas and land ex-| {tending 86 rods above the mouth of {Spring Creek The survey was made on the ap-| plication of Peter Graybill, (my G. G.

Miles the town takes its name and not from Gen. Wil- {lam Miles, as the marker states at i the southern entrance. Much of our {history and prosperity are the re- {sults of his unfailing interest in the success of the town. Col. Miles descended from Welsh emigrants who landed about the year 1682. He was born in 1739 and says in his autobiography, “I had ia common country efiication. Read- (ing, writing and a superficial know- ledge of figures was the . sum total of my school learning.” In his boyhood he worked with his brothers who were ‘carpenters.
