SUMMARY:Crime Exhibit (repeating exhibit) with Special Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence County has been home of many notorious crimes\, especially unsolved ones. \n\n\n\nJoin us for our new exhibit “CRIME”\n\n\n\nBegins Aug 22. Repeats on Aug 24\, Aug 26\, Aug 29\, Sept 2 from 11am-4pm. \n\n\n\nWith Special Lectures on August 26 and Sept 2 at 1pm. \n\n\n\nAUGUST 26 Special Lecture @ 1 pm by Intern on the Torso/Swamp Murderers and the Black Hand \n\n\n\nSEPTEMBER 2 Special Lecture @ 1 pm by Intern on Irene Schroeder and the current crime statistics \n\n\n\nTHE EXHIBIT\n\n\n\nThis exhibit\, put together by a group of interns at the society\, focuses on three different groupings of crimes as well as the current crime statistics\, hoping to open discussion on what our community has done and is doing to combat crime. \n\n\n\nTORSO & SWAMP MURDERSThe first focus is on the Torso Murderers and Swamp Murderers\, located in West Pittsburg. The connections of these deaths with Cleveland\, Ohio once stumped famous investigator\, Eliot Ness. Information surrounding these unidentified bodies is now being uncovered and put on display for the public to see. \n\n\n\nBLACK HANDFollowing these murders is the infamous Black Hand\, which surrounded their narrative around the Hillsville community. With the murders of the game warden\, Seeley Houk\, and William Duff\, these murders began to shed light on an mafia-like organization that existed within the county. On display\, will be testimonials of those involved in the Pinkerton Detective Agency-led trials of 1907. \n\n\n\nIRENE SCHROEDERWithin the early part of the 1930s\, times were fluid\, and many lived for the thrill. That was so for the Bonnie and Clyde-like couple of Irene Schroeder and Glenn Dague as they robbed stores within the area and killed police officer Brady Paul. It was not until the two were apprehended in a shootout in Arizona that they were brought back to New Castle and sentenced to death by electrocution\, making Schroeder the first female to be executed in this way in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\n21st CENTURYUnfortunately\, as we enter into the 21st century\, crime is still evident within our community. Through the work of our District Attorneys and other leaders within our county\, we are now battling evolved forms of crimes. \n\n\n\nGET YOUR TICKETS TODAY! Only $5 / person\n\n\n\nHOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS \n\n\n\n\nTelephone the Society 724-658-4022\n\n\n\nPURCHASE ONLINE \n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR on event days\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes this sound interesting?

SUMMARY:"Fall" Into Holistic Health with Young Living Essential Oils
DESCRIPTION:Bring a friend for a night filled with fun\, essential oil education & application!\n\n\n\nRSVP is necessary as this particular class is most popular and typically fills up fast!  RSVP ON OUR EVENTBRITE PAGE. \n\n\n\nEssential oils\, or aromatic oils as they were once called\, have been used by many cultures around the world for centuries. Their uses varied between cultures from religious purposes to healing the sick. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when essential oils gained notoriety as effective healing agents\, but eventually the knowledge of essential oils spread around the globe. \n\n\n\nThe earliest evidence of human knowledge of the healing properties of plants was found in Lascaux\, located in the Dordogne region in France. There\, cave paintings suggest the use of medicinal plants in everyday life that have been carbon dated as far back as 18\,000 B.C.E. \n\n\n\nLove the natural scents of essential oils\, but not sure how to really use them? What oils are safe and what should you know as a consumer? Do you know how to distinguish a therapeutic-grade essential oil from a harmful synthetic? This class will give you an introduction to the incredible world of therapeutic-grade essential oils so that you can use them with confidence. \n\n\n\nLearn about Seven Specific Summer to Fall Transitions and the 14 purest oils on the planet that support\, promote\, and maintain the health of your body. You will “Make & Take” a Natural Cinnamon Bark and Clove Potpourri Spray that is sure to get your senses aroused in the mornings!! \n\n\n\nWe will have a FREE 5ml bottle of Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil for the person who brings the most guests! \n\n\n\nComplimentary Cinnamon Cake with Cinnamon Bark Oil. Coffee Will Be Served. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nDoes this sound interesting? Share with your friends!

SUMMARY:Johnson Bronze History: Formation & growth
DESCRIPTION:The Family • The Industry\n\n\n\nWe invite and welcome all those who who worked at Johnson Bronze. Come and Share your memories and memorabilia.\n\n\n\nOur program features the formation and growth of Johnson Bronze through the effort of Patrick J. (P.J.) Flaherty. \n\n\n\nJoin us on this very special evening as granddaughter\, Julia (Judy) Stack Tannehill and great-grandson\, Mitch Tannehill\, show photos and artifacts from this industry’s storied history. \n\n\n\nWe also present artifacts from the Historical Society’s collection and from Susan McKinnis\, whose father worked at Johnson Bronze for 39 years. \n\n\n\nA very special part of the evening will be the opportunity to hear from those who worked at Johnson Bronze throughout the years. \n\n\n\nRead our BLOG ARTICLE about the 1888 Victorian house known as the Johnson-Turner house where George W. Johnson and family lived from 1893 to early 1903. \n\n\n\nVictorian house circa 1888. First owner M. Loy Hanna.\n\n\n\nGeorge W. Johnson\, one of New Castle’s “Princes” was an equal in statue to steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie and coke magnate Henry Clay Frick. According to his obituary\, despite his stature in the community\, Johnson was known as “a man who was easily approached and he was known by his fellow townsmen as “George.” \n\n\n\n In 1901\, he formed the American Car and Ship Hardware Manufacturing Co. which eventually expanded into Johnson Bronze with his sons William L. and Charles H. Johnson. His investments made New Castle the center of America’s limestone industry. \n\n\n\nGeorge W. Johnson Residence.

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Writing Workshop and Book Signing\n\n\n\nThe Lawrence County Historical Society will host a free memoir writing workshop and book signing Saturday\, August 1st from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM in its annex building. \n\n\n\n“Creative Writing with Chris” – 11 am\n\n\n\nThe workshop\, Creative Writing with Chris\, by Christine O’Neill Susany will be held from 11:00 AM until 12:00 noon. A native of New Castle\, Susany now lives in New Mexico where she works as a writer and editor. She is a graduate of Mohawk High School (Mt. Jackson\, PA) and Kent State University (Kent\, Ohio). \n\n\n\nThe workshop will provide instructions on how to preserve and share your family history. According to Susany\, “Everyone has a story to tell.” Genealogy can help us discover the facts of our past\, but facts are dry\, dull\, and boring.

Nelson McConahy will have a book signing for his memoir\, Dynamite! A Blaster’s History. This book chronicles his experiences working at the American Cyanamid’s powder mill during the late 1960s\, and was edited by Christine O’Neill Susany. \n\n\n\nAuthor J.
