Historical Writer Guy Graybill is Coming to Emporium to speak at the Cameron County Historical Societies "Lunch Box Social"
Saturday April 30, 2022 at 1:00 PM at the Emporium VFW Cameron County Historical Society is hosting, historical writer Guy Graybill author of six books many involving history that can be found on Amazon.com and other outlets.
Months ago Guy contacted our local historical society seeking information on a book he is currently completing entitled "The Rake of Restless Oaks." This is a book that debunks the phony claim of "folklore" for the writing of Pennsylvania
author Henry W. Shoemaker (1880-1958), of Clinton County.
Shoemaker's published over 200 books and pamphlets on Pennsylvania folklore, legends, manners customs, wildlife, and a variety of other topics.
Until Graybill, contacted us we never knew that Shoemaker actually had a connection to Cameron County. Discovering that his first wife was Beatrice Genevieve Barclay born in Sinnemahoning PA the daughter of George and Elizabeth (Shafer) Barclay. Henry and Beatrice married in 1907 when she was 18 years old and together they had one son, Henry Francis Shoemaker II.
The connection we had made with Mr. Graybill was one we couldn't afford not to share with our community and requested him to come for a visit.
More than 100 samples of Graybill’s photography have appeared on the covers of small magazines, greeting cards, etc. Guy Graybill says that he is very enthusiastic about his current book; although for original conception and writing style, he still considers BRAVO! to be the very best of his writings.
Come join us Saturday April 30, 2022 at 1:00 PM Emporium VFW for an old fashioned "Lunch Box Social" , which includes great entertainment, fun along with laughter and of course great socializing. The cost is $12 per person. Anyone can attend! We look forward to seeing you there!
