                                                                         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. As  Town Lindley Historian , I had provided Ian Mackenzie with information about the Lindley one room schools when he was writing his book  -" Th

                       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?  History can be fun, interesting  and  not all facts and figures. Thanks to the Internet and the dedication of folks who take the time to scan and share what they find  in old history books, newspapers, etc, it is  much easier to locate information that a researcher had to spend hours in a library or museum collec
