A Bill Lines of Curry Run is mentioned in this source on several occasions. The compiler of this database believes they may be one and the same. Mentions found in this source are as follows:
A building, that was used for storage of lumber to build Bill Lines’ home when he returned from the service, had to be torn down during World War II after a large truck went out of control descending Curry Run Hill and destroying it. (p. 25)
Bill Lines did labor work on the Sunnyside Poultry farm owned by the McDivitts in Curry Run. Bill, who was a good friend of this books author and was very helpful in writing the book, loved to reminisce on the life and times in Curry Run. (p. 65)
Bill Lines and Vance Dickey fired kettles through the night for Charles A. Thorp during the maple syrup making seasons of 1935 and 36. (p. 67)
In 1935, Bill Lines would pick up the Clearfield paper at the railroad station in Curry Run and deliver them to his customers. The papers were $.03 and delivered on the hootle bug which was an old coal fired engine hauling passengers. (p. 71)
[A] business to oiperate in the area was the lime mine that Ben Mott operated for several years… Mr. Mott operated the lime mine in the early 1930s and the stone kiln can still be seen today. Bill Lines and Mirl Johnston remembered helping with the fire and shoveling the lime into a shed for Mr. Mott. (p. 78)
Curry Run lost many homes and farms as the construction of the [Curwensville] dam progressed. Two of the farms to be removed were those of descendants of the early pioneer families to settle here. These farms were the Thorp Farm and the Nolen Farm. There were only 3 instances of homes being moved to another location, all others were razed.[One of the homes that were moved was] theBill Lines home. (p. 86)
William Lines is listed among Curry Run, PA. soldiers who served during World War II 1944-1946, USA. (91)
The Curry Run annual picnic, “to bring the community together for a day of good fellowship, good food, and reminiscing” started in Sep of 1987 with 55 people attending. The picnic was to be held the Sunday following Labor Day each year. At the first annual picnic Zada Lines was the eldest resident attending at the age of 93. It must be noted that she had 5 adult children also attending who were: Esther Derrick, Josephine Saxe, Nellie Clyde, Louise Heaps, and Bill Lines.
