For Sale in 2014 The last blog posting shows the postcard of a Northside High School. A former Lindley resident was curious as to the date. Using the Internet , he found a copy of the postcard dated 1905. After a discussion about the age of the Northside High School that has been in recent Corning Leader news articles, he located a September 14,1927 article on the Fulton Archival Newspaper website that said the new high school had opened . Corresponding with him about the date and other information regarding the school had piqued my curiosity . Knowing that so many Lindley residents had attended a Corning Northside High School or had a connection with it, I decided to research the history of the schools.

Composite photo of Col. Lindsley and the Lindsley Coat of Arms Thanks to Tracy, her expertise and ingenuity , this blog will resume with the new heading and format. Thanks ,Tracy. There is so much history connected with Lindley and the people connected to the history, that the blog will be expanded to include more stories about people. Some stories will be funny, some will be sad, but they will help tell the story of the growth of a settlement started in the wilderness by a group of New Jersey settlers in June ,1790 (almost 226 years ago) How can the history of a place be told without relating stories about the people who lived there?
