This township was formed in 1854, [1]
and named at the suggestion
of David CHRISTY.* The surface is generally hilly, and the soil,
as regards its quality and productiveness, similar to that of
adjacent townships. The township has vast
deposits of bituminous
coal. Extensive coal mining companies are now operating within
its borders, and the prospects for the future prosperity of the
people are most flattering.
* Various old residents delight in relating that David CHRISTY was the owner of a bright cherry-red cow, highly prized, and that her color suggested the name to him. There are others, who claim the name was adopted and deemed appropriate, from the fact that many wild cherry trees were to be found within its limits.
During the year 1797, Benedict GROSSMAN removed from York
County, Penn., and after a journey fraught with much labor and
hardship, settled upon the farm now owned and occupied by his
great grandson, Abner MCCALLEN. Mr. GROSSMAN was accompanied by
his wife,* and a family of children named as follows: Simon,
Benjamin, Catherine (who became the wife of Jacob KISSINGER),
Jacob and Betsey (then the wife of Robert BLACK). Polly, another
daughter was married the same year, 1797, to Robert MCCALLEN, but
they did not become residents of this region until two years
later. Robert BLACK, however, came here with the family. Mr.
GROSSMAN brought into the [p.423] country also a small stock
of dry goods, notions, etc. which
he placed in a log building owned by John CHRISTY, Esq., (see
history of Washington Township), and there exposed them for sale,
his son-in-law, Robert BLACK, being in charge of this pioneer
store. After a year or so, however, the goods unsold were taken
to the home of the GROSSMANs and BLACKs in the present township
of Cherry, where the business of merchandising was continued for
a number of years. During the war of 1812, Simeon and Benjamin
GROSSMAN, sons of Benedict, served with the Pennsylvania
volunteers on the Northern frontier. Benedict GROSSMAN and his
wife were both buried on the farm now owned by Abner MCCALLEN.
* The maiden name of Mrs. Benedict GROSSMAN was Miss Betsy STIVERT. During the French and Indian war of 1756-63, she was captured by the savages in York County and kept among them for a period of seven years, but at the age of thirteen years was finally returned to her friends at Fort Pitt.
Robert BLACK was a native of Huntingdon County, Penn., and came to this part of the county in 1797. He first engaged in the sale of dry goods, etc., for his father-in-law, but before the beginning of the year 1800, he purchased and settled upon the farm -- then wild and unimproved -- now owned by his son, Adam BLACK. The children of Robert and Betsey BLACK were Benjamin (who was born in 1800), Henry, Peggy (who died a spinster), Robert Jr., Betsey (who married John PRINCE), John, Adam, James, Simeon, Polly (who married John TURNER), Joseph and Eli. Adam, the fifth son of Robert BLACK, Sr., was born in 1814. He married Mary Ann, daughter of William TURNER, and to them have been born nine children, as follows: Robert P., William P., Ann E. (who married Giles O'VOGAN), John, Jane (who married William H. TINKER), Martha C. (the wife of Clarence BARD), Sarah E. (who married Smily SMITH), Joseph A. and John T. During the late war, Robert P. and John served in Company E, One Hundred and Third Pennsylvania Volunteers, and William P. in Company C, Fourtieth Regiment (Eleventh Reserve) Pennsylvania Volunteers. The children of Joseph BLACK now living are Elizabeth, Robert and Julia Ann.
It is the recollection of Adam BLACK, that in a log house formerly occupied by his father, which stood just below where Russell MCCANDLESS now resides, he (then about five years of age) attended school for the first time. The teacher, Martin BUTTS, was hired by Robert BLACK, Stephen WILLIAMS, Obadiah EDMONDS and David CHRISTY. BUTTS was paid about $100 for the time. Another early schoolhouse, which was also built of logs, stood at the end of Henry THOMPSON's lane, and in this building Joseph PORTER, Wilson POTTS and Catharine MCCLOSKY were early teachers.
Robert MCCALLEN was married to Polly, daughter of Benedict GROSSMAN, in 1797, but he did not locate in what is now termed Butler county until 1799. He first settled on the premises now known as the John HALL place, near New Hope, where all his children were born, but he ultimately became the owner of the GROSSMAN homestead, and there passed the remainder of his days. His children were John, Eliza (who married James NEAL), Benjamin, Jane (who married Levi SLOAN), Sally (who married Hiram C. MCCOY), Catharine (who became the wife of William GILMORE), Polly (who married Joseph BLACK), Julia Ann (who married Samuel RUSSELL), Harriet (who became the second wife of Hiram C. MCCOY) and Maria (who married Ebenezer RUSSELL).
Abner MCCALLEN, a grandson of Robert MCCALLEN, and great-grandson of Benedict GROSSMAN, was married to Mary A., daughter of Joseph PORTER, in 1850, and of six children born to them, five are living, viz.: Lizzie, Joseph P., Martha B., John R. and Mary M.
Joseph MCCOY, son of Thomas, was born in the State of Virginia about the year 1793; his father and the family located in Mercer County, Penn., where he (Joseph) remained until about 1802, when, having married Isabella CRAIG (who was also born in Virginia), he located upon the farm in Mercer Township, Butler Co., Penn., now owned by his grandson, David MCCOY. The children of Joseph and Isabella MCCOY, all born in Mercer Township, were Thomas, John, Nancy (who married David JOHNSON), Hiram C., Elizabeth (who married Alexander BLACK, and afterward Robert MITCHELL), Hugh, David, William and Lewis. Of these sons, Thomas, John, David and Hugh are dead. Thomas died in Tennessee; John in Clarion County, Penn. Lewis has been a resident of Australia for thirty years. During the war of 1812-15, Joseph MCCOY served as First Lieutenant under Capt. Henry EVANS. He died about 1820, in the State of Louisiana, whither he had gone for the purpose of purchasing a plantation upon which to locate his large family of sons.
Judge Hiram C. MCCOY was born in Mercer Township in 1811. For twenty years he worked at wagon-making in Harrisville. In 1850, he located at Annandale, and the following year engaged in merchandising, a business which has continued to the present writing. Besides having served as a Justice of the Peace for eight years, he was elected on the Republican ticket in 1861, to represent his district in the State Legislature, and was re-elected to the same office in 1862. In 1865, he was appointed Associate Judge of Butler County. By his marriage in 1834, to Sally MCCALLEN, he had six children, of whom three are living, viz.: Mary A., Sarah and Lewis. As a second wife, he married Harriet, sister of his first, and as a result of this union, two children have been born -- Isabella and John. During the late war, Lewis, the oldest son, served in Company F, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Infantry, also a Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment.
[p. 424]
Mark MCCANDLESS was born in Centre Township, Butler County, Penn., in 1807. He married Mary, daughter of James RUSSELL, in 1829, and in 1834 settled upon the premises, in Cherry Township, where he still resides. His children are Elvira, wife of John BLAINE, of New Castle, Penn.; James R., of Cherry Township; Martha J., wife of Jeremiah HILLIARD; Eliza Ann, wife of David ARNER; Alexander K., a merchant in Pine Grove, Penn.; Minerva, who married John CHAMBERS; and Mary, wife of James T. BRYAN, of Cherry Township. Another son, Samuel B. MCCANDLESS, served as a member of Company E, One Hundred and Third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, but was taken prisoner at Plymouth, N.C., April 20, 1864, and after having been confined in the prison pen at Andersonville, Ga., for several months, died at Charleston, S. C., October 29, 1864.
Mr. MCCANDLESS engaged in the sale of merchandise soon after his settlement in this township, which he continued for many years. His tavern, however, was opened as soon as his home was built. He was located upon the highway upon which the raftsmen returned on foot to their homes on the head waters of the Allegheny, and during the palmy days of rafting he frequently fed hundreds of those voracious, hardy river men in a single day. Scores of Indians also were in the habit of coming down in the river on rafts, being skillful pilots, and in great demand during the rafting seasons. On their return they would walk from Pittsburgh to MCCANDLESS' tavern without eating by the way, but, once here, their capacity for things eatable was truly wonderful. Mrs. MCCANDLESS assures us that she has placed before three Indians six dozen boiled eggs, besides esculents in like proportion, all of which disappeared at one sitting. One of these Indians could eat enough at one meal (a peculiarity characteristic of all of them) to last two and three days without much apparent discomfort. As the food eaten, digested, the savage merely tightened his belt and strode on.
Joseph PORTER, the oldest child of Alexander,* was born in
Washington County, Penn., in 1792. In 1798, his father and the
entire family removed from Washington to Venango County, locating
in what is now known as Clinton Township. The family consisted of
the father, mother and thirteen children, eleven of whom became
men and women. Those now surviving are Joseph, James, Alexander,
Mrs. Ann KERR and Mrs. Margaret YARD.
* Alexander PORTER was born in Lancaster County, Penn., and was one of the first settlers of Washington County, where he married Miss Margaret BRADEN. He died in Venango County at the age of eighty-two years, and his wife attained to about the same number of years before her death.
During the war of 1812-15, Joseph PORTER, with the Venango County troops, marched to the northern frontier twice -- in August, 1813, and again in the following winter. He now draws a pension. In 1817, he married Martha VANDYKE, of Venango county, and the ensuing year settled on the boundary line between Cherry and Marion Townships. His nearest neighbors then were the WADDLEs and MCENALLYs in Marion Township, the THOMPSONs and the CHRISTYs in Cherry Township. The children of Joseph and Martha (VANDYKE) PORTER, were Lucy, who married Robert M. SEATON, but is now deceased; John, a resident of Marion Township; Isabella, deceased, who married Cyrus KERR; Mary Ann, the wife of Abner MCCALLEN, of Cherry Township; Braden, a resident of Marion Township; Martha, who died as the wife of David DUNN; Alexander, who resides upon the premises in Cherry Township, which were settled upon by his father in 1818; and Sarah, who is the wife of Robert SANKEY, of Cherry Township.
Michael STEVENSON, with his wife and several children, emigrated from Ireland and settled on the farm in the southeast corner of Cherry Township, now owned by William PORTER, prior to the year 1800. His sons were John, James, William, Andrew and Samuel. During the war of 1812-14, the three sons first mentioned -- John, James and William -- joined Capt. MCCULLOUGH's company, composed chiefly of men from the northern part of Butler County, and marched northward to the Canadian frontier. There they endured many hardships, in common with others, by reason of not being properly equipped and supplied, and soon after their return they became very ill with what was then termed "Black Rock fever," and all died within a period of ten days. Andrew, the fourth son of Michael, had no family. Michael STEPHENSON was the father of five daughters -- Lily, married a man named MILLER and removed to Virginia; Mary became the wife of John SMITH, Esq.; Jane the wife of William CAROTHERS; Sarah the wife of Samuel TURNER, and Fanny the wife of William GREER. All were mothers of families.
The children of Samuel STEPHENSON, by his first wife, were Michael M. and James. The latter died in infancy, and the mother did not long survive him. The father then married Miss KISSINGER and removed to Ohio. He died in Lawrence County, Penn., in the winter of 1881-1882, about eight [sic (eighty)] years of age. Michael M. STEVENSON, his oldest son, was born in what is now Cherry Township in 1823.
John CHRISTY was one of the earliest residents of Westmoreland County, Penn., and there married Miss Sarah DUNBAR. Their children were Andrew, David, John, Jr., James, William, Dunbar, Robert, George, Gilbert, Mary, Anna, Elizabeth and Sarah, and all became heads of families. In the spring of 1799, John CHRISTY and his family removed from Westmoreland and settled upon a large tract in the present [p.425] county of Butler, now owned in part by Mrs. Martha CAMPBELL, J. P. CHRISTY, James HINDMAN, George CHRISTY and Thomas S. JAMISON. John CHRISTY and his nine sons were pioneers, indeed, and all founded homes by clearing away the wilderness in various sections of the county. Of the thirteen children, but three are now living -- William, in Washington Township, aged ninety-two years; Dunbar, in Cherry Township, who was eighty-nine years old August 15, 1882; and Gilbert, now a resident of Pine Grove, Mercer Co., Penn. During the war of 1812-14, William and Dunbar CHRISTY served in the company of which the STEVENSON brothers were members.
Dunbar CHRISTY married Mary, a daughter of Judge Samuel
FINDLEY,* of Clay Township, June 16, 1818. She died in 1870, at
the age of eighty-two years. Their children were Mary, who died
in infancy; John F., who now resides in Allegheny County, Penn.;
Samuel D., who is a member of the Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery,
died at Alexandria, Va. in 1864; Rev. David D., now a resident of
Kansas; Robert F., of Cherry Township; and Sarah Ann, who died at
an early ago. [sic (age)] Rev. David D. CHRISTY is a clergyman and a
* Samuel FINDLEY was one of the first Associate Judges of Butler County, and his brother William FINDLEY, besides having represented his district in the National House of Representatives, served as Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, from December 16, 1817, to December 19, 1820.
James SMITH and his wife were natives of Ireland, and among
the first settlers of what is now Parker Township. Their children
were John, Thomas, Rachel, Peggy and Ann. John,* son of James
SMITH, was born in 1791, and in September, 1821, married Mary
STEVENSON, daughter of Michael, who was born in 1801. Their
children were John, Jr., who was born February 17, 1824; James,
Samuel, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, Harriet, Ann, Fanny, Dorcas [no comma]
Perry and Jane, of whom the sons and Fanny and Dorcas are now
living. About sixty years ago, John SMITH, Sr., purchased a tract
of land in the present township of Cherry, made the first
improvements upon it, and there remained until his death. Afterward
the homestead was divided among his sons, sixty acres
of unimproved land being allotted to John, Jr. The latter finally
bought out his brothers' portion of the home farm, and has since
gradually increased his landed possessions until he is now the
owner of 1,400 acres in Butler County. Seven hundred acres lying
where he now resides, and 1,000 acres in Cherry Township. An
excellent quality of bituminous coal, from three to four feet in
thickness, underlies all of it, and the same has recently been
leased to the Mahoning Valley Iron Company.**
* John SMITH, Sr., died July 22, 1846. His wife died February 5, 1860.
** Borings into the earth in this vicinity have demonstrated the fact, that sixty feet below the strata of coal now being mined, is another vein of coal four feet in thickness, then a bed of iron ore eighteen inches in depth, succeeded by limestone rock of the thickness of eighteen feet. Below the limestone are vast quantities of fire-clay, and below the latter still, a very fine quality of potter's clay.
Mr. SMITH has served as Justice of the Peace since 1865. On the 17th of June, 1852, he married Miss Margaret J. HINDMAN, who died December 31, 1878. To them were born ten children, viz.: John S., Norman, Curtis, William B., Flora J., Melissa J., Mary E., Ida J., Naoma and Sarah Ann.
The RUSSELL brothers -- Samuel, David, James, John and Caleb -- with the STEWARTs, STEVENSONs and THOMPSONs, were among the first settlers of the southeast quarter of Cherry Township. The RUSSELLs came to this region from Virginia. Samuel RUSSELL was married three times, and raised a family of twelve children. He served as a soldier during the year of 1812-14, and died in 1870, nearly ninety-four years of age, having, at that time, nearly two hundred descendants. James, his brother, was the father of twenty-two children, and David, another brother, was the father of twenty-three children. At the time of his settlement in the territory now known as Cherry Township, Samuel RUSSELL purchased 500 acres of land for $30.
During the year 1798, Andrew STEWART removed from Northumberland County, Penn. (of which he was a native), to the farm in Cherry Township, now owned by his son David. His wife was Miss Mary RUSSELL, whom he married prior to his settlement here. Their children, all of whom were born in this township, were Margaret who married David PHIPPS, of Venango county, James, William, Archibald, Andrew, Jr., Charles, Perry , David, Ellen (who married Patton POLLOCK), and Sarah, who married James HINDMAN. Of this family, Charles, David, Ellen and Sarah are now living. Charles STEWART was born in 1809. At the age of nine, he attended school for the first time in a small log building which stood just north of the present village of West Sunbury, Robert MCELVAIN being the teacher then and for several terms thereafter. Afterward MCELVAIN taught at Concord Church (the schoolhouse as well as the church being constructed of logs), and there, also, young STEWART attended his schools. The school-books then in use were the "Western Calculator," "United States Spelling Book" and "English Reader." In May, 1836, Charles STEWART married Miss Martha PERRY. To them have been born nine children -- Moses, Mary, David, Sarah, Phoebe, Archibald, Samuel, William, [sic] A. and Charles B., all of whom are living except Moses, who died at one year, and David at twenty-one years of age.
The parents of Mrs. STEWART removed from Northumberland County in 1798, in company with Andrew STEWART's family, but settled the same year in what was afterward known as Scrubb Grass Township, Venango County.
Abraham BOLLINGER, a native of York County, [p.426] Penn., with his wife and children, settled near LOGAN's Ferry, in Allegheny County, in the year 1800, and that point became the permanent home of the major portion of the family. One son, however, by the name of Christian (who was born in 1785), took up his abode in Mercer County about 1815, where he married Miss Mary KIFFER. Their children were John M., Henry, Jacob, Susan C., Michael G., Daniel D., Elizabeth and Andrew J. BOLLINGER. In 1821, Christian BOLLINGER located upon 200 acres in Slippery Rock Township, where most of his children were born. They are now widely scattered, Jacob, Susan and Elizabeth being dead; Daniel D. resides in Missouri; Michael G. and Andrew J. in Nebraska, and Henry and John M. in Cherry Township. The latter was married in 1845 to Catharine, daughter of Robert WALLACE, who is still with him. They have had six children -- Raphael W., Mary E., Ella T., Charles F., Orville C. and Florinda J. Mr. BOLLINGER has lived where he now resides since 1850.
James MCGILL was born near Pittsburgh, Penn. The beginning of the war of 1812-14 found him in the State of Kentucky. Although still in his teens, he joined the Kentucky Volunteers, and marched with them in a campaign against the British and Indians. During the operations at or near Ft. Meigs, he was taken prisoner by the savages, and by them turned over to the British military authorities, who held him as a prisoner of war until the cessation of hostilities.
About the year 1827, he became the owner of the farm in the northwest corner of Cherry Township, now occupied by his descendants, and April 3, 1828, he married Miss Isabella ADAMS. The results of this marriage were children named Rebecca J., William, Lydia B. and Nancy P., all of whom are living at this writing, except the last mentioned. Born in PETER's Creek, near Pittsburgh, in 1793, James MCGILL died on his farm in Cherry Township April 13, 1882. His wife died in October, 1865.
On the 1st day of April, 1819, William GILCHRIST and family, of County Down, Ireland, left the port of Belfast in a sailing vessel bound out for America. They arrived safely at Eastport, Me., where they were transferred to another vessel bound for Philadelphia. England was then endeavoring to direct emigration to the Canadas, and the passage from Ireland to the British Possessions was but five guineas, whereas from Ireland to the United States it was just double that amount. For this reason the GILCHRISTs left the Green Isle, bound, apparently, for Canada, but which ruse necessitated a transfer on the shores of Maine.
Remaining at Philadelphia one week, arrangements were made with a man who, with wagons, hauled them and their effects to Pittsburgh, at the rate of $13 per hundred pounds. A trip which required eighteen days to accomplish. Finally, however, the midsummer of 1819 found them located on a 400-acre tract (near their old friend Samuel MCMURRAY) in the territory now Marion Township. The children, who came from Ireland with William GILCHRIST, Sr., were John, Betty Ann, Robert, William, Jr., Joseph and Mary, of whom William, Jr., is the only survivor. The latter was born Mary 13, 1806. Mr. GILCHRIST married Keziah GRAHAM, of Venango County. On the 1st of April, 1837, with his wife and three children, he settled upon the farm (then wild and unimproved) where he is still living. Besides farming, he has followed the occupation of blacksmithing for many years. He has been the father of ten chldren, nine of whom are living -- Mary A., Eliza J., Keziah (William, first, a twin brother of Keziah's died at the age of four years), Martha, James, Elizabeth, William, Jemima and Robert B.
Alexander HUTCHISON came from Westmoreland County, Penn., and settled on or near the hamlet now Annandale, about the year 1800. His children were Polly, who married John SHROYER; Thomas, who married Margaret VANDERLIN; Robert, who married a Miss SEATON; John, who married a Miss VANDERLIN; White, who married a Miss STOOPS; Margaret, who married Bernard MCENALLEN; Eliza, who married James MCENALLEN; Isabella, who married Robert DUNLAP, and Lucinda, who married William G. SMITH. The children of Thomas and Margaret (VANDERLIN) HUTCHISON, were Alexander, John, Stephen V., Josiah, Milton, Robert, Catharine, Harriet, Elizabeth and Viola. Of the sons, Stephen V. served in Company H, One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania Volunteers, during the late war (see history of that regiment in this volume) and Milton in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry.

In 1855*, John HINDMAN served as Assessor and William
GILCHRIST as Collector. The assessed valuation of the township
then amounted to $49,914, upon which a county tax of $287.59, and
a State tax of $143.85 was levied. In comparison, we find that in
1880, the number of taxables was 310; aggregate value of real
estate taxable, $204,280; aggregate value of all property taxable
for county purposes, $226,047; aggregate amount of State tax
assessed, $44.90; aggregate amount of county tax assessed at the
rate of five mills on the dollar, $1,130.24.
* The first election in Cherry Township, was held in the spring of 1855 [1] at the house now owned by Abner MCCALLEN.
The first store was opened by the BARD Bros., in the fall of 1880. SHANNON & BOOK, who are natives of Butler County, and came here from BOVARD's, opened the next store in the spring of 1881. The "Kelso House," A. L. KELSO, proprietor, was built the same season, and John H. WALKER, druggist, and Dr. W. D. DEWOLF also established themselves here in the spring of 1881. SAMPLE & ELLIOTT, successors of Lewis OWENS, opened their store in the spring of 1882.
The town is connected with the main line of the Shenango & Allegheny Railroad, by a branch three miles in length, and contains besides the business places above mentioned, a post office, telegraph office, lodge of the Knights of Honor, John CANNON's lumber yard, several small mechanical shops, sixty coke ovens in operation, and a population estimated at 350. On the 30th of June, 1882, the place was visited by a terrific storm or tornado, which destroyed fifteen buildings and killed two people, viz., Henry HENDLEY and Mrs. William BARRON.
BOVARD's, a station on the Shenango & Allegheny Railroad, contains a handsome station house, two stores, post office, blacksmith shop, Dr. MCCUNE's office, a flouring mill propelled by the waters of Slippery Rock Creek, and some fifteen dwelling houses. It derives the name from members of the BOVARD family, who have lived here for many years.
Annandale, a small village situated in the northeast corner of Cherry Township, was laid out by John HANNA, about the year 1840, and was named in honor of Rev. William ANNAN, a Presbyterian minister of Pittsburgh. Mr. HANNA was an early merchant and tavern keeper here. Other business men have been Barnard SHULTE, Rev. James GREEN, John D. VOGAN, Hiram C. MCCOY, Braden PORTER, merchants, John RIDDLE, John STILLWAGON, Jacob SETH and Richard [p.428] GRAHAM, tavern keepers. The post office was established through the exertions of Mr. HANNA.
Gomersall, another new coal town and railroad point is alluded to in preceding pages of this work.
The church edifice was built in 1846, and the same year (but before the completion of the church building) Rev. Joseph MOORE began his pastoral labors. He preached once in four weeks for about eighteen months. For some time thereafter, there were but occasional supplies. Then came Rev. Sharp LEASON, who served as a supply part of his time for six months. He was succeeded by Rev. John COULTER, who devoted to this congregation one-third of his time until 1864. Rev. James COULTER next came, who administered to the spiritual wants of this and the West Sunbury Church, giving to each one-half of his time, until the year 1871. His successor was Rev. A. L. THORNE, who came in March, 1872, and served this and the West Sunbury Church as stated supply for about three years. Following his ministry was preaching by supplies as they could be had. In May, 1877, Rev. A. W. LAWRENCE came from the Western Theological Seminary and remained until September of that year. In May, 1878, he was installed as pastor, which relation was dissolved in April, 1880. Since August, 1880, this church has been supplied by Rev. George W. BEAN, of West Sunbury. It now numbers 108 members, and the members of session are William PORTER, George CHRISTY, Walter CURRY, Nelson MCELVAINE and A. W. CHRISTY.
In 1859, a series of meetings were held in a grove, a short distance southwest of the Pleasant Valley Presbyterian Church, and many were added to the original number of members. The last meeting of the series mentioned was held in the Pleasant Valley Presbyterian Church.
Soon afterward, however, the Methodist congregation built a house of their own, which, standing in the woods, about one-half mile north of the Pleasant Valley Church, was constructed of unhewn logs. The walls of this primitive structure were six logs in height and total darkness was dispelled from the interior by placing two windows (each containing four lights of 8x10 glass) in the rear gable. Of course, the pulpit and sittings were in harmony with their surroundings. This building was occupied for four years, when it was burned by an incendiary. At the next quarterly conference, held at Clintonville, Penn., it was proposed that the members of this class should give up their organization and join other churches nearest to them as individuals, but the members themselves would not consent to such a proceeeding, and continued holding regular meetings in a schoolhouse, which, located in an almost inacessible place in the forest, was distant about one mile from the site of the church destroyed. Finally the society become [sic (became)] able to build a house of worship, and as a result the present church edifice at Annandale was commenced in 1872, and dedicated May 3, 1873. It cost nearly $2,000. The present membership of this organization is 110. For a list of the ministers in charge since Mr. MCCOMB's pastorate, the reader is referred to the sketch concerning the Methodist Episcopal Church of North Washington.
Hiram C. MCCOY, or Judge MCCOY, as more extensively known, was born in Mercer Township, Butler County, August 17, 1811, where his father had settled shortly after his marriage. At the time of his father's decease, he was but nine years of age, and the family being in limited circumstances, he was obliged to assist in their maintenance, and received only a limited education. At the age of seventeen, he was apprenticed to the trade of a wagon-maker, and after the completion of his indentures, he followed his trade as a journeyman for some time. He went into business in Harrisville, where he was engaged until in 1839, when he came to Annandale, and in company with Judge VIERR engaged in merchandising, where he has since remained. The Judge has always taken an active interest in matters of public import. In 1861, he was elected to the representative branch of the assembly, and on the completion of his term was re-elected. In 1865, he was appointed Associate Judge, and since that time has served his fellow townsmen as Magistrate for eight years. In 1834, he was married to Miss Sarah MCCALLEN. She died in 1837. The Judge is now in his seventy-second year, and during his life-time he has never known a single day's sickness; he appears as hale as a man of fifty. In company with his son John, he is engaged in merchandising under the firm name of H. C. MCCOY & Son. In his political and religious affiliations, he is a Republican, and a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
[END OF CHAPTER 47--CHERRY TOWNSHIP][1] Cherry Township appears on the 1840 census, so its creation was before 1840. In the 1854 redistricting, its boundaries, like those of all the other townships, were redrawn.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, is working on a rule that would offer lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, collectively LGBT, a little more protection from housing discrimination.
The agency is finalizing a federal rule that would ensure its own housing and programs are open to everyone, regardless of marital status, gender identity or sexual orientation, according to a HUD statement.
The federal Fair Housing Act bans discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability and family-with-children status. The act, dating back to 1968 and enforced by HUD, doesn't specifically prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, though in some cases it may stretch to cover aspects of such situations.
Laws in 20 states and more than 200 localities go further to prohibit housing discrimination against LGBT people, according to HUD.
Federal legislation would be necessary to add these folks specifically to the list of protected classes.
Meanwhile, HUD has launched a campaign to educate the public about fair housing and strive to ensure that people have equal access to housing, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The year-long campaign will utilize newspaper and magazine ads, and new media such as digital videos, podcasts and ads on social networking websites to spread the message.
Housing discrimination is a real crime with real victims. Examples of discrimination cases reported to HUD have included:
- A disabled woman who couldn't get a home loan because the bank wouldn't allow her son, acting with her power of attorney, to complete the paperwork.
- A bank that failed to provide services in African-American neighborhoods.
- A family that wasn't allowed to see an apartment due to the children.
- A woman who was discriminated against and insulted by her landlord because she's married to a Hispanic man.
To voice a housing discrimination complaint, call (800) 669-9777 or (800) 927-9275 (TTY).

TAMPA — Leave your kegs at home during Gasparilla. Don't urinate in people's yards. And, if you're younger than 21, don't drink.
Words of wisdom from Captain Obvious?
No. Those are some of the messages city and school officials and event organizers are hammering home in the weeks leading up to Tampa's annual bacchanalia on Jan. 30.
"There's a real change in how you have to behave at Gasparilla," said Bill Gieseking, director of marketing for the event's beer sponsor, Pepin Distributing. "You must be responsible or you could end up in trouble."
Gieseking made his remarks during a news conference Tuesday to unveil a public awareness campaign dubbed "Responsibility Is the Key."
The crackdown comes after people who live near the Bayshore Boulevard parade route complained about excessively bad behavior during last year's parade. Organizers and city officials developed plans to rein in the event, which attracts as many as 350,000 people.
"It's a marquee event for our region. But we also are well aware that it needs some work," said Jim Robbins, captain of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla. "We want people to come to Gasparilla. We want them to have a good time. But they need to remember they are part of a community, and they need to act responsibly."
To make sure that happens, the number of police officers assigned to Gasparilla will increase from 225 to 275. They will take a zero-tolerance approach to underage drinking, open containers in neighborhoods and public urination. Those who live near the route will have police officers' cell phone numbers so they can report inappropriate behavior.
"Everybody realizes that we have to do this," assistant police chief Marc Hamlin said. "The time has come."
Hamlin said he expects it will take a few years of strong law enforcement efforts before the culture of Gasparilla changes.
Last year, Tampa police arrested more than 125 people during Gasparilla festivities. In previous years, there were fewer than 90 arrests, Hamlin said.
"We stepped up enforcement last year, and it just didn't seem to be enough," he said. "Now this year it's going to be even more so."
The informational blitz will include billboards, radio announcements and signs at places where alcohol is sold.
Mayor Pam Iorio and Hillsborough County school superintendent MaryEllen Elia will record a phone message that will go to the parents of students.
"Our message to our young people particularly is don't go to Gasparilla to behave foolishly," Iorio said. "There will be consequences."
In addition to a greater police presence, plans call for doubling the number of portable toilets from 800 to 1,600.
To thin out crowds, the waterside reserved seating area will be limited to the area between Bay to Bay Boulevard and Howard Avenue and the parade route will extend downtown to end at the newly renovated Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park.
"For people who want to let loose and party, then Curtis Hixon waterfront park will be the place to do it," Iorio sad. "That way you're away from the homes. You're away from private property. You're not disturbing anyone."
Jack Wyatt, president of the Historic Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, was among those who documented last year's debauchery with pictures and videos.
That got the attention of city officials and parade organizers.
"Anybody that lives down here has had bad experiences," he said. "We've been living like that for a number of years."
Wyatt believes the new approach will curb some of the problems, particularly with young people left unsupervised in neighborhoods while adults head to Bayshore for the parade.
"It can't hurt," he said. "We're not sure what the effect will be, but we just hope it will be safe, clean and everyone will have a good time."

My combination microwave/convection oven is not heating sufficiently while on convection. I see that the element is getting red and heat come on, however, i noticed that the fan is not working and not moving the heat around sufficiently. Any suggestions on what may be needed to fix this?
Hi Debra,
Thank you for your inquiry. It sounds like you will need to replace your fan motor. I hope that helps!
First took down the hood/microwave and removed the sheet metal housing. I changed HV diode as it was the least expensive component and the first one that internet suggested and tested bad with a ohm meter. Didn't fix a thing. Capacitor failed test with meter so I ordered and then replaced this.Still no change so I ordered a new magnetron. Now I have over $100 invested in a 9 year old oven but a new one is three times this so if my time is free I am still ahead.The magnetron may be the first part installed onto the oven. To remove the old magnetron and install the new the top plastic vent hood moldings and motor had to be removed. Pretty straight forward but not a little amount of work.The new magnetron did the job and the oven now heats like new.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
My microwave began suddenly making a loud harsh humming noise while cooking food. I did not let it go on long enough to know if it cooked the food or not. I did some Internet research and learned that it was likely the Magnetron. The test for this was to run the microwave for at least a minute on the lowest power setting and see if the noise cycled on and off. It did, so I (actually, my wife) ordered the part from partselect.com using the model number. I was successful in replacing the part, and we are back to microwave popcorn and quick defrost for a price that was less than a service call, however, it was time consuming, required a large work area, and access to 5 out of 6 sides of the unit. So proceed at your own discretionCaution:The first thing in every set of repair instructions was to discharge (short-circuit) the capacitor, as it may store large (as in lethal) amounts of electricity even when it is not connected to a power source. I had never done this, but found these instructions:"Discharging your microwave's capacitor is absolutely essential in preventing injury to your microwave, your tools, and yourself. A capacitor stores a large amount of electricity even when your microwave is unplugged, and it must be discharged before beginning any repair. A capacitor is discharged by creating a short circuit between each of the two capacitor terminals, and between each terminal and the chassis. The chassis is the metal mounting (bare metal surface) of the capacitor. Read these directions thoroughly before you proceed.With your microwave unit unplugged, touch the blade of a well insulated screwdriver to one terminal. Gently slide the screwdriver forward until it reaches the other terminal, holding it there for a few seconds. Be aware that this often results in a loud and startling 'POP'.Repeat this procedure in order to create a short circuit between each capacitor terminal and the chassis (bare metal mounting plate surface). This same method can be applied to a capacitor having three, and not two, terminals."I had not run my microwave in over a week, and then while my part was shipping, left my microwave 'unplugged' for more than two days, and my capacitor apparently discharged itself, although I did go through the above procedure carefully and completely - just in case.Step-By-Step:1. You must remove your microwave from the cabinets - it is impossible to repair otherwise. This is best accomplished with 2 strong people - my wife and I made it work, but wished for another guy.a. While supporting the microwave, remove the two screws coming down through the cabinet above.b. Lift the rear of the microwave as much as possible, then tilt the front down - there is a clip high on the left side, as well as the hinge/clips on the bottom.c. If you do not lift it off the wall all at once, you may have to lift the rear even farther to remove it from the hinge/clips on the bottom.Important Note: Always beware of the microwave door, if it is bent or broken and cannot retain a seal, the microwave not function as a safety feature to keep from releasing microwaves.2. Remove the vent cover on the top/front of the microwave - be careful, it's plastic.3. Remove the vent cover and light panel on the bottom of the microwave - this is several screws and some simple wire clips.4. Remove the "shell" (top and sides) of the microwave - this is several more screws on the back. Make sure to remove the plate that is holding the cord in place on the top.5. Remove the interface panel by the screws on the top (which had been hidden by the vent cover) - the wires can remain attached, just slide it aside.6. Remove the metal cover on the right side at the rear; this will expose the Magnetron and the Capacitor. Remember to immediately test and discharge the capacitor!7. After you discharge the capacitor, remove the other cover plate and the support bracket - in case you haven't noticed, this is a time and space consuming operation.8. You

Thanks to Fr Z for alerting me to a great new Google tools - Latin translations and text to speech gadgets.
The Latin translation tool, like all these online translation tools is not perfect. But it's not terrible either.
Put in the first line of Psalm 1 for example, "Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit."
And you get back:
"Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly and in the way of sinners, he did not stand, and in the chair of pestilence, nor sat."
The text to speech tool (via the 'listen' option) seems to use ecclesiastical pronunciation, so potentially very useful indeed!

The Libyan leader, sought by the International Criminal Court for brutally crushing an uprising against him, delivered the warning in an audio message played to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli.
It was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent weeks, signaling that the embattled Libyan leader can still muster significant support. Gaddafi addressed the mass gathering in Green Square, speaking from an unknown location in a likely sign of concern over his safety.
Addressing the West, Gaddafi said Libyans might take revenge.
"These people (the Libyans) are able to one day take this battle ... to Europe, to target your homes, offices, families, which would become legitimate military targets, like you have targeted our homes," he said.
"We can decide to treat you in a similar way," he said of the Europeans. "If we decide to, we are able to move to Europe like locusts, like bees. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster." Today's was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent weeks.
It came just four days after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Gaddafi, his son Seif al-Islam and Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi for crimes against humanity. International prosecutors allege government troops fired on civilian protesters during anti-Gaddafi street demonstrations earlier this year.
The popular uprising has since turned into a protracted civil war, with anti-government rebels controlling much of eastern Libya and parts of Libya's western mountains. NATO has been bombing government-linked targets since March.

Elizabeth Warren has said repeatedly that she isn't running for president in 2016. But fellow Democrats apparently don't hear her. Progressives hoping to pull the Democratic Party further to the left still see Warren, a senator from Massachusetts, as an unapologetic liberal and potential standard-bearer for their cause.
Warren, a former Harvard law professor and consumer advocate, is unabashed in championing issues dear to the Left, including income equality, an expansion of Social Security, stricter regulation of Wall Street and more generous student loans. Her consumer advocacy work contributed to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
"Elizabeth Warren is a passionate and effective advocate for the middle class in this country and one of many great leaders in our party," said Matt Canter, of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Despite Warren's denials of interest, fans are positioning her as the liberal alternative to Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and Democrats' presumptive presidential front-runner, who progressives fear will cozy up to Wall Street for campaign cash that would make her beholden to its interests. Polls show Warren running ahead of all potential Democratic contenders except Clinton and Vice President Biden.
Warren told the New York Times twice in a late September interview that she had no interest in running for president in 2016, and she tells the same thing to anyone else who asks. And many are asking. Warren has come to represent the Left's aspirations for the next Democratic presidential nominee and thousands have flocked to a Facebook page calling on Warren to run.
"Warren is viewed as the North Star of the Democratic Party, who the Democratic Party should look to for where to go in the future," said Matt Wall, of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "We're a fan of Warren because she's a progressive champion, and is willing to stand up for progressive ideals."
Wall's group is so enamored of Warren that it dispatches members to major Democratic Party events to promote her with shirts and stickers that read, "I'm from the Elizabeth Warren Wing of the Democratic Party." The group's website is already selling Elizabeth Warren merchandise — including an Elizabeth Warren onesie for babies.
When the centrist think tank Third Way criticized Warren's "economic populism" in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, the Left rushed to her side. Progressive groups responded by pressuring another high-profile centrist Democrat -- Rep. Allyson Schwartz, a candidate for governor in Pennsylvania -- to defend Warren by publicly resigning her membership in Third Way and denouncing the group's criticism of Warren as "outrageous."
Warren's office did not return a request for comment on her presidential intentions.
Liberals' desire to see one of their own in the White House has been fueled by their general disappointment with President Obama, who they say failed to deliver on issues ranging from a single-payer national health care plan to the closing of the Guantanamo Bay prison.
"I think there's a lot of frustration, that President Obama said a lot of things that we hoped for, but that didn't happen," said T. Neil Sroka, of the progressive group Democracy for America. "Elizabeth Warren represents a lot of that hunger."
The Left's embrace of Warren over Clinton is an indication of liberal concerns that Clinton would disappoint them as much as Obama. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have always been cozy with Wall Street and its interests, seen in Bill Clinton's support for the deregulation of banks. And for the Left, that's a red flag.
"It's a real problem, the lack of ideological purity — the lack of ideology, period — among far too many Democrats," Sroka said.

Robert Redford may be one of the biggest stars in Hollywood history, but he doesn't do a lot of acting these days. He's appearing in, and directing, next year's thriller The Company You Keep along with Shia LaBeouf, Nick Nolte and Anna Kendrick, but mostly he's keeping it on the down low. That's about to change with All is Lost, a film which finds Redford braving the elements to survive at sea. Yeah, it sounds a lot like an aquatic Jeremiah Johnson, but apparently that's kinda the point.
Deadline reports that Redford is in talks to star in All is Lost, the sophomore film from writer/director J.C. Chandor, whose first film, Margin Call, was an excellent and involving drama about the recent financial crisis. Chandor wrote the film with Redford in mind after meeting the iconic actor/director at Sundance. Plot details are minimal, but Redford would apparently carry the film almost entirely by his lonesome. It's like The Old Man and the Sea, but without a classroom of disinterested English majors involved.
Chandor's got a difficult road ahead of him, since the second film is often the real litmus test for a serious filmmaker, particularly if their first film is as acclaimed as Margin Call. Quentin Tarantino knocked it out of the park with Pulp Fiction after the comparatively rough Reservoir Dogs tested the waters, but Kevin Smith's Mallrats failed to capitalize on the success of Clerks. Paul Thomas Anderson was rewarded for his ambition when he directed Boogie Nights after Hard Eight, but The Road to Perdition was a bit of a letdown after Sam Mendes' acclaimed debut American Beauty. Could go either way, and all eyes are watching. No pressure, J.C…
CraveOnline will be back with more All is Lost news if we ever find it.

LORAIN -- Police arrested a man who was cut by a kitchen knife during a domestic violence incident Saturday afternoon.
Police charged Devonte Alston, 19, of Lorain, for domestic violence and forwarded information to the prosecutor's office regarding the assailant.
Witnesses said the man barged into the apartment of his ex-girlfriend and started to argue with her, but police said the details of the entry are very unclear.
A friend of the woman said Alston appeared as if he was going to strike his ex-girlfriend, so the friend grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed Alston's shoulder.
Police said, while the details of Alston's entry and information about him being cut were unclear, there was probable cause for a domestic violence charge. Alston was treated for a knife wound on his right shoulder before being taken to jail.

There are a lot of people behind Wild Apricot... let us introduce you to our team members:
Dmitry is the founder of BonaSource Inc., the company that started Wild Apricot software. Following completion of a Master of Science degree in Computer Sciences, and then an MBA, Dmitry held a number of senior consulting positions with Arthur Andersen (now Accenture), then co-founded an ERP consulting business. His passion for using technology to make organizations more efficient led him to co-found BonaSource in 2001. BonaSource takes great pride in having completed eBusiness projects for some of the world's largest companies.

SPL clubs playing the generation game
Even the beautiful game can experience a fashion craze. The latest one threatening to sweep through football clubs north of the border is certainly beginning to catch on.
That move for the veteran has triggered a chain reaction, with 69-year-old Brown tipped to be at the helm until the end of the season at Fir Park. Perhaps what surprised commentators most was the fact Brown appointed Archie Knox as his right-hand man, albeit with the pair in charge on an interim basis.
Most pundits had predicted Brown would be in place to attempt to nurture and develop a younger man before bowing out gracefully. Maybe he just feels comfortable working with a more experienced man and Knox, at 62, certainly fits that bill.
However, Brown's renaissance has captured the imagination of other Scottish Premier League clubs with Kilmarnock interviewing former Motherwell manager Tommy McLean following the departure of Jim Jefferies.
That could have prompted McLean, who at 62 is seven years younger than the interim Motherwell boss, to sever his ties with the Scotland youth set-up to return to club management.
But Killie have now offered the Rugby Park role to former Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood, who left Pittodrie in the summer. Calderwood, 54, is another experienced manager but will certainly feel he still has lots more to offer if he decides to accept the position.
Golden oldies Brown and McLean aren't the only 60-somethings in the game as Rangers gaffer Walter Smith is now 61. Maybe they are all seeking inspiration from one of Scotland's most famous exports - Sir Alex Ferguson - who recently celebrated his 68th birthday. Perhaps the more mature approach is the way to go as experienced managers can offer a different approach to a man looking to make their mark in the sport.
There could be further scope for yet more interesting managerial moves with Motherwell, Dundee United and of course Kilmarnock seeking permanent appointments.
Brown and McLean may well be in strong positions to stake their claim for new challenges, but Jefferies is another free agent after suddenly ending his eight year tenure at Rugby Park, while George Burley is also looking for a club position following a disastrous spell in charge of Scotland.
Jefferies had been quoted as a candidate for the United job but reports now claim he's out of the running for that post. Yet Dundee United will have to move quickly to land their new man after caretaker Peter Houston ruled himself out of the reckoning.
The Tannadice powerbrokers had identified Bohemians boss Pat Fenlon as a replacement for Craig Levein, who left the Terrors to become the new Scotland manager.
And Knox has also been quick to make his own pitch for the Dundee United post as he knows he could have a very short shelf life at Motherwell. Queen of the South boss Gordon Chisholm has also been listed as a potential candidate.
Houston will certainly be hoping the new man is appointed soon as he's struggled to shine operating in the huge shadow Levein has left hanging over the club.
He's won just once in the SPL and that came in midweek away to Hamilton Academical courtesy of a David Goodwillie strike. That will have given Houston some light relief, but this weekend he faces a much tougher test when Hibs roll into Tannadice.
Both clubs are competing for third spot in the league, although the hosts have certainly lost impetus in their league charge following Levein's exit.
The encounter between the pair is certainly the game of the day in the SPL with the Edinburgh club out to extend their lead over United in the race for third place. Houston will be much happier now that he's won his first league match in charge and will certainly be going all out to end his short spell at the helm on a high.
However, the victory over Hamilton won't change his mindset on the managerial position, even though United were worth their victory.
Whoever comes in as boss at United, Kilmarnock or Motherwell on a permanent basis, don't rule out all three clubs playing the generation game by opting to appoint a more mature manager.

I attended the IDI conference on April 19th and the additional information I received about HHC was really helpful. I had the C282Y test and I tested positive with 2 copies. My half-brother and sisters want to be to be tested (we have the same mother). Other than the C282Y should they also be tested for the H63D and S65C or is the blood tested for all 3?
Typically, when a genetic test for hemochromatosis is ordered, most labs test for both the C282Y and H63D mutations. S65C is not tested for as frequently. Since you inherited one of your C282Y mutations from your mother, your half-siblings are at 50/50 risk for this mutation from your mother. Without knowing the exact mutation status of your mother and your half-siblings' father, I do not know the exact risk they are at (i.e. your mother may have two mutations, and their father may be a carrier or have two mutations). Therefore, I would recommend that they at least have testing for both the C282Y and H63D mutations.

Too early for 0-16 talk, but tough schedule lies ahead for Buccaneers
Two months into the NFL season, there now is just one winless team remaining: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the Rams and Titans winning on Sunday, the 0-7 Bucs are in a class by themselves.
I'll spare you the speculation about them going 0-16. With so much football left, it's still too early for that. But it's not too early to take a hard look at lies ahead for the remainder of the season.
Of the Bucs' nine remaining games, six are against clubs that have a .500 record or better. They play the undefeated Saints twice and have a pair of matchups against the 4-2 Falcons. They must travel to Miami to play the Dolphins, who are heating up. They must cross the continent to play at Seattle a week before Christmas, when the weather won't be in their favor.
With a slate of remaining opponents with a combined record of 36-22 (.611 winning percentage), finding that first win won't be easy.
Nov. 8: Packers
Nov. 15: at Dolphins
Nov. 22: Saints
Nov. 29: at Falcons
Dec. 6: at Panthers
Dec. 13: Jets
Dec. 20: at Seahawks

Rachel Howard speaks about her inspirations and fears
Studio International interview Rachel Howard about her current exhibition:
Rachel Howard is not an artist to shy away from heavy subject matter; sin, suicide, madness, the fragility of the human condition. Trained at Goldsmiths, and studio assistant to Damien Hirst from 1992–1996, Howard is a widely exhibited and successful artist in her own right, recognisable for her trademark use of household paint, which she separates into pigment and varnish, to create a dragging effect of colour across the canvas. Her current exhibition at Blain|Southern, Folie À Deux, is named after the clinical definition for a psychosis in which delusional beliefs are transmitted from one individual to another. Studio International spoke to Howard about her inspirations and fears...

Natalie Cole is upset that Amy Winehouse won five Grammy awards Sunday night. At a post-ceremony press conference, Cole told reporters, "I think it sends the wrong message, that even in the midst of her stupor of drugs she can get nominated for all these awards."
Amy, 24, left a UK rehab facility to perform for the Grammy broadcast via satellite from London. She was unable to attend the L.A. ceremony in person after being initially denied a visa to enter the U.S. (the U.S. government went on to reverse its denial, but not in time for Amy to make it to the show).
Natalie, 58, who has had her own battles with substance abuse in the past, said she thinks Amy "has a great talent," but also went on to say: "I don't agree with the Grammys giving her those nods…. It's a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn't have a grasp of what she has."

A public exhibition is being held at Falmouth School today, Thursday, where details of the new roundabout proposed for Union Corner will be on display.
The Cornwall Council scheme would see a new single roundabout built at a cost of about £2.2million to replace the existing double mini roundabout at the junction of Trescobeas Road, Kergilliack Road, Bickland Water Road and Union Road.
A spokesman for Cormac Consultancy said: "The proposed roundabout will help to reduce congestion during the peak commuter periods and will provide for the planned growth of Falmouth and Penryn.
"The proposal seeks also to improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists with shared use paths all around the junction."
Cornwall Council will formally submit a planning application in due course when there will be a chance for people to comment on the proposals.
In the meantime, today's exhibition will be held between 3pm and 9pm and will give people the chance to see exactly what is planned.
