Sisters of Mercy ~ Teachers
RSM Cemetery, Cresson, Pa.
Sisters of Mercy
We went to the graveyard to find themThe nuns from grade school daysLying beneath their crosses,All there except one,The delicate nun with soft handsShe whom we took music lessons from.
Alone with her nowIn the convent parlorBending over her pianoShe plays songs they had sung togetherAnd hears herself humming,When standing out among the crosses,Tearless, she confided,For having to wait so long.
She looks awayBut keeps on playing,Not lifting her eyesFrom off her soft white fingersTrembling lightlyOn yellowish ivory keys.

Connoquenessing Creek has been nominated for Pennsylvania’s River of the
Year! It was 1 of 5 nominations picked out of hundreds of submissions.
Over time this local waterway had been neglected and abused, leading to
its rating as the 2nd most polluted waterway in America in 2000. Since
then through Allegheny Aquatic Alliance and other organizations’
efforts, significant positive changes have been made to this creek and
have resulted in the restoration of it. Now we have the opportunity to
show our appreciation to this precious waterway by making it the River
of the Year! We each have the ability to do this by simply voting for
the Connie! The voting period is now until 12/22. It is such a simple
yet powerful way to show your support for this vital local waterway.
Help us spread the word and bring the positive attention to the
Connoquenessing Creek that it deserves!------------------------------------------
Loyalsock Creek has been named the River of the Year

Linda Randig ~
Linda Randig researched and wrote this book this year and it just came out two weeks ago. It covers old Mom and Pop grocery stores within the city limits between 1903 and 2017. She found about 450 stores including well-known ones such as Mintz's, The Kozy Korner, Center Dairy and The Inn as well as many others in every neighborhood of the city. The book will appeal to those of us who are old enough to remember these stores as well as younger people who missed out on them but are interested in Butler's history. The cover features Earl Doria in his store on Mercer Street and there are another 16 pages of black and white photos.
The book can be ordered directly from Linda at
