Graybill is an author of six books many involving history that can be found on Amazon.com and other outlets.
Months ago Guy contacted us 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.
Many of us who are history buffs are familiar with Mr. 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. We discovered 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.
Discovering this connection, we requested he come for a visit Mr. Graybill.
This is a "Social" you don't want to miss red checked tablecloths and all.
Spring has sprung time to get out.
Come join us Saturday April 30, 2022 at 1:00 PM Emporium VFW for an old fashioned "Lunch Box Social" , The cost is $12 per person.
Everyone is welcome!
