Eternal thanks to my beloved brother the Low-life Trumpist punk-ass cockroach BITCH for sending me this link http://www.tribdem.com/news/south-fork-treasure-trove-documents-resurface-detailing-club-s-actions/article_bce4f888-3515-11e6-aa51-47d22cbfd17f.html from which I excerpt:
For more than a century, documents detailing the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club’s formation and finale were carefully stored within a onetime Ebensburg attorney’s private records.
Detailed petitions. Bonds. Cottage leases.
Even mortgage documents secured by the club days before Johnstown’s 1889 flood.
Some of it was rumored to be lost to history – if not destroyed by club members in the wake of the great disaster.
But boxes full of documents donated by the late John W. Kephart’s family show the millionaires club – one often portrayed as a secret society – posted public meeting notices, used club letterhead and relied on careful legal steps. The club members even created their own corporate seal for important documents.
And the original hand-signed copies of the paperwork that details it all had been sitting in the Cambria County Historical Society’s attic for more than 30 years, inside a box marked “No Historical Value.”
