APPLEBACH, Tillie of Applesbachsville, PA

As a teenager, my Aunt Fran gave me 2 articles about Applesbachsville, PA that had been in the Philadelphia newspaper in the 1940's.

The first one is this one about an auction that Tillie APPLEBACH had on Nov. 12, 1949 at her home in East Rockhill Township of Bucks Co, PA.  The article says that she is 77 and that she needed to get rid of a few things. The article goes on to say that she is the widow of Oscar APPLEBACH.

The article is a very interesting read of personalities, local culture, and a list of various items that were sold.
