I have many ancestors who lived in Milton and the surrounding townships going back to the late 1700s. I have a web site for the town - A Pictorial History of Milton, Northumberland Co., PA. I encourage anyone who is interested to contribute pictures of the town or old family portraits (prior to 1930). There is genealogical information on the site as well, and contributions to that are also welcome.

Hello Larry - the Rose Hill home was owned by the Hastings family for a time - they lived there in the late 40's/early 50's for certain; the publisher's grandson, Berkeley Penn Hastings, was a childhood friend of my father, who lived on Walnut Street, just a few doors down. The Kramm family, who sold the house to the library bought it from a daycare provider, if memory serves.

I remember my best friend, Mary, talking about her "rich" grandfather. When he visited her family living in Tacoma, Washington, he was very bitter about losing "all his money." He was still an entrepreneur, though, and was trying to invent a candy to rival Tacoma's famous Almond Roca. Once I have the family's permission, I will send you more information. I knew Elmer did well (his brother). He, according to news articles, was still running the company well into his 90s. | | | Alice Nelson

I will send you what I can find out. All three Hemminger girls have photos. They might want to send copies to the library. I will ask them. I will stay in touch. Again, thanks! Alice | | | Alice Nelson

Wow, thanks SO much for the historical website. Thanks to you, I can find lots of information for my lifetime best friend, Mary C. Hemminger. Many, many of her people originated from that area. I plan to present her with an album for her birthday in December. I have known her since I was two. We are now both in our sixties. Her people include Hemminger, Heinen, Stout, Shimer, and many others. Her sister was in the town a few years ago looking to see where their grandfather, George Stout Shimer, lived. Too bad she didn't have the address. One house burned down but the other - a huge mansion - apparently is still standing. Shimer was prominent in business circles and owned some sort of huge plant. Your site has helped me in doing a bit of search for Mary and her sisters. Many thanks!!! | | |
