Sunbury, PA - Historical Lot
Contents:
This is a set of 3 publications on Sunbury, Northumberland County, PA, each over 110 years old.
 
1) Sunbury - Historical, Biographical and Industrial (The Daily Item, 1905, 52 pages) - Pictures 1-4
This booklet was published as a historical and biographical record of Sunbury, PA.  It is divided into several sections: Historical, Bench and Bar, Educational, Professional and Industrial and sketches the lives of dozens of Sunbury's prominent citizens. Almost all the biographical sketches also include a portrait of the subject, and a few other photographs of different areas of the city are also included in the historical section. This is an extremely rare publication and quite useful for historical or genealogical research as the information contained within isn't found in any of the other biographical volumes of the area.
