Chapter XI
The Furnaces-- List of Furnaces

3.  Lucinda Furnace, built in 1833, on Paint Creek In Knox township, by James Humes and George B. Hamilton; Humes became sole owner and failed.  The furnace was purchased from John F. Steinman, Humes's assignee, in 1843, by Hon. James Buchanan, afterward president, and John Reynolds, of Cornwall, Lebanon county.  They purchased at the same time 4,351 acres in Knox township, consideration $20,500.  Buchanan visited the furnace in June, 1843.  It was afterwards leased to Reynolds and Nathan Evans; the latter managed it.  The iron made at this furnace had a high reputation with mill and foundrymen.  The stack was hot blast; eight feet bosh by thirty feet high; produced in 1845 1,200 tons per year; in 1856, about 1,500; abandoned in 1858 on account of low prices and scarcity of timber.

White, C. G. (Rev) - 1908

Supper Called Off

Chambersburg – The Rev. C. G. White desired to give part of the buck deer he shot to the ladies of the church to serve in a benefit supper.  The question arose as to whether it could be legally done and the matter was referred to Secretary Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State game commission, who said that under the state law no part of a deer killed in Pennsylvania may be sold in any form or guise or manner, which cuts out the venison supper.
