Some years ago, while visiting N.Y. for a family reunion of some sort, we took a tour of one of the area wineries. My eye caught a book in the gift shop, entitled Southern Tier by Arch Merrill. Being curious about the history of the area, I bought the book. It was interesting indeed. I have borrowed liberally from this book. My apologies to Mr. Merrill. You may buy this book, or any of the other regional history books he has written from Empire State Books, Heart of the Lakes Publishing, P.O. Box 299, Interlaken, N.Y. 14847.

The Popcorn Kid is a book written by a gal from Hornell, who worked at June's Ice Cream Company during her youth and became an endearing friend of Benedicte June, our grandmother. Joanne L. Moran is the author's name and her book is available through Quiveir Press, 702 Court A, Bodega Court Building, Tacoma, WA 98402. You may e-mail Joanne at jojonurse@aol.com

Many of the Erie Railroad facts came from the book Erie Lackawanna, Death of an American Railroad, 1938-1992, by H. Roger Grant, published by Stanford Press, Stanford, CA.

A great resource for facts on the Erie is Men Of Erie by Edward Hungerford, published by Random House. This book was first printed in 1946 and has been out of print for years. I had to scour the rare book stores to find a copy. Fortunately, the Internet makes hunting for rare books much easier than previously, and with a little effort you should be able to find a copy also.

I extracted some of the Hornell history information from a Histoy of Hornell project compiled by a Hornell student, Margaret Koehler, dated 1993. Mayor Hogan presented this to me on my last trip back to Hornell.

Most of the original artwork used on this website was created by Philip June using Corel Draw 4, Paint Shop Pro 7, Giffy, and Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects, with the following exceptions:

Any clip art that was used came from the Corel gallerys.
The maps of the Hornell area were lifted from the United States Government Census Bureau web site at www.census.gov

Most of the photos were scanned by Philip June with the following exceptions:

The aerial view of Hornell was lifted from the website at www.westny.com/steuben/hornell.htm and subsequently edited to indicate the location of June's Ice Cream. This site is hosted by WestNY.com and copyrighted by GLSaltsman Enterprise.
The photo of Mark Twain was lifted from Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia
The photo of the Indian mounds is credited to Doug McKay and was lifted from the following web site: http://medicine.wustl.edu/~mckinney/cahokia/mound38.html
The photo of the steam engine is scanned from a lithograph given to me as a Christmas gift. The artist is Rich Pedersen.
The photo of Red Jacket was lifted from a website that I lost track of so I can't credit it. Sorry. Maybe I will run into it again and add the credit.

Hornell History Photos

Special thanks and appreciation to The Evening Tribune, Hornell, N.Y. and to John Frungillo for granting permission to scan the Hornell historical photos. The book from which the photos came, "A family album of Hornell, Canisteo and Arkport, New York...our history in pictures" , was compiled and published by the Tribune. This book was a limited run and is no longer in print. Scan the rare book stores for copies, you might get lucky.

If I have stolen anything from you, I apologize for my indiscretion. Feel free to e-mail me at pjjune@pjjune.net to register your complaint.
