About this title

Synopsis

The book offers a window into Lancaster’s past, combining family history, railroad notes, and society records from 1917.

It compiles detailed notes on the Shaffner family, a discussion of early Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad development, and minutes from the January meeting, all framed by annual reports and remembrances that shaped local history.

This edition brings together plural strands of historical material: genealogical notes, civic records, and scholarly papers that reflect the interests of a county historical society. It also preserves official notices, officer lists, and library statistics that illustrate how a local institution organized and shared knowledge in the early 20th century.

Genealogical and biographical material about the Shaffner family and related local figures.
Memoranda on the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad, including early routing decisions and engineering details.
Minutes from the January meeting, with reports on membership, finances, and governance.
Obituaries and memorials that document notable community members and their contributions.
Librarian’s annual report and proposed constitutional amendments for the society’s governance.

Ideal for readers of Lancaster County history, genealogists tracing early Lancaster families, and anyone interested in how local historical societies preserve and present their records.
