number of local business ads. These ads are hand-drawn and a good record for
small area businesses.

etc.
These "Legends" are one page stories that
appeared in the Lancaster-York Magazine and were written by one of
the magazine's editors.
1. A LEGEND from Lancaster-York
History and Legend Magazine Volume 1 Number 2 October 1936-
-A
long time ago, that is to say when the first white people came to the
Susquehanna River, they found a strange old woman living among the Indians. She
was short, with bent shoulders, strong arms and legs, with large eyes that
observed all things.
For many years she lived with the Indians along the
low banks of the river, and was nkown to go about making what was called
improvements------a few sticks tied together, a kindled fire with a pot hung
over it, and a bundle of deerskins for a bed. That constituted a first right.
She sold her rights to the first person who would pay for it, for which she
asked only a trifle.
One day she decided to leave the camp of the red
men, without announcing her destination. Days, then a week passed by without her
return. At last the Indians went in search of her.
It was Autumn, and
everywhere in the great forest the trees had put on their dresses of yellow and
red. As the Indians pushed slowly on, their eyes were ever open to the glories
of the season. On all sides they beheld the woodland birds holding their
farewell frolics; some chirping and chattering; others simply nodding and
bowing. For a time they carefully surveyed the country about their village, then
headed along the river towards the setting of the sun.
That evening, just
as the sun begun to lower its disk of gold behind the big forest, the old woman
was found. She was dead. Beside her still form lay her old horse, her most
valuable property, but he too was dead.
Such is the story of Mary
Ditcher, described in our early history books as a wandering old woman living
among the Indians near Pequa, leading a horse through the wood, with her
knitting in her hand, and clad in a garment of deer-skin.
---Mardella B.

2. Another Legend-
On one cold December
evening, a weary Indian trader along the upper reaches of the Susquehanna River,
built a campfire and sit down beside it to rest. In a little while the warmth
generated from the burning embers caused him to fall into a deep sleep. When he
awoke it was dark, and he was greatly surprised to find that his fire was still
burning, though all the fuel he had put on it was gone. He also noticed that in
the center of the fire there appeared a reddish glow, from which radiated an
intense and unusual heat.
For a time he sit watching the strange
phenomenon. Then he investigated. He found that he had built his fire between
two ledges of "black rocks", which apparently had caught fire
themselves and were now burning and glowing in the December darkness like great
live jewels.
But the trader then remembered that he was not the first to
discover the strange action, for he had only a short time before heard the
Indians speak of "black rocks that burned like pine". He was, however,
a progressive fellow, and was one of the first to realize that here was a
natural resource much too important to be wasted on campfires. Sometime later he
drew the attention of others to the starnge "black stones"---which
ultimately resulted in the founding of the vast coal mining industry in
Pennsylvania, the trader's strange "black stones" playing a vital part
in America's progress.

Another Legend
It was during the dreadful persecution of the
Protestants, in france, when Joseph Hubley and his young wife fled to
Switzerland. from Switzerland they made theri way into Germany where they lived
for a time, and where they were blessed with three children. Here Mrs Hubley
died and left Joseph with two sons and a daughter. Much Discouraged, he resolved
to emigrate to America and make a home for his children in Penn's
Woods.
Now Joseph Hubley was not a poor man, nor was he an illiterate
person. During his residence in Switzerland and Germany he had written many
discourses describing the shameful persecutions by the Jesuits, and accumulated
some money.
Packing his gold and manuscripts into heavy wooden boxes one
day, he led his two sons, Bernard and Michael, and his daughter Susan, to the
wharfs at Rotterdam, where they set sail on the good ship "Pink John and
William" for the country of Penn's new land.
It was October when the
"Pink John and William" nosed its way into the harbor at Philadelphia,
and the day was clear and serene. Everywhere along the sunny shore Joseph could
see a great forest, and everything seemed so peaceful and
wonderful.
Refuge was found that night in the home of an old friend,
where he and his children, together with an elderly Frenchman who he had
employed as a valet, lived for several weeks. then one morning the valet
reported that he ahd found his master dead, and in a short time the vslet
himself disappeared.
On making an examination it was discovered that the
manuscripts had disappeared also, and that the old Frenchman was a Jesuit,
disguised in the garb of a valet for the purpose of securing and destroying the
manuscripts.
Such is the legend of Joseph Hubley----a life that was short
lived in the New World, but a name that was always to remain as a rich heritage
of honor, sacrifice and bravery, in the story of the founding and building of
Lancaster County and America.
