We are always looking for Sugar Valley family histories - if you have documentation you are willing to share please contact us. We want to have a genealogy of your family to place in our new building for others to use as research. We just received one on the John Black Rowe family and were given pictures of the Morlin Schrack family from Helen and Ken Imes. Amber Keene has also sent much family information and pictures.  Thanks , folks.

The first prominent settlers in Sugar Valley were John C. Culby family, then Frederick Womeldorf, Henry Spangler, Michael Bressler, Philip Glantz, Michael Ketner, Mithais Snook,and Barnet Rocky. It is noted that Womeldorf, Glantz, and Ketner were married to the daughters of Anthony Kleckner. 

We are always looking for some good old-fashioned recipes – please send us one of yours for our next newsletter.
