Perhaps alittle history of Shore Valley might be of some interest to some of the News readers. Sho'-e Valley begins at Hubels ville, and extend northward, and is bounded on the west by Side ling Hill mountain, and on the east, Clear Ridge, and derived its name from the name Shore, and perhaps the oldest settler in this little valley was Andrew Shore, who, buck in the sixties was a prominent farmer by occupation, and also at that time, was a class leader of the old M. E. church at Zion, and mostly traveled by horseback, which was a distance of about 34 miles. Mr. Shore lived to a grand old age. Andrew Shore reared a family of seven children, some of which settled down in lile in this little valley. Others have settled in the West. Eli and Calvin were both famous, and perhaps no one was better known in this end of Fulton and Huntingdon counties, than Eh (Squire Shore). He was a good, upright Christian man, ana no better advisor could befound than he. Calvin, who was located only a short distance from the old homestead, was a progressive fruit raiser; also his equal could hardly be found in regat d to fruit raising. Both EH and Calvin de parted this life about one year ago, only a short time intervening between them. Only one broth er of the oldJShore family remains living in Pennsylvania; Simeon, whu lives on Clear Ridge. G. Bruce Shore is the only remain ing Shore in this valley, who, like his uncle Calvin, is greaily inter ested in raising fruit. No finer place can be found than his, for fruit of all kinds. The neU old est settlers in this little valley are the Ruperts and Curfmans, ell who own farms, and are prosper ours. This valley is supplied with a Mutual Telephone system, which, connected with five other lines, almost form a central at Waterfall. Every farmer and citizen in this valley has connec tion with this line, which extends s me 8 miles novth of Waterfall Bank Charter. No. WS. Thkasuhy Pkpabtmknt.
