 March 19, 1830 Baltimore from husband sent to Mrs. Abraham S. Valentine (Clara) in Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania ... mentions that he called upon Mrs. Ashbridge and Col Thomas ... asks about health and daughter Anna. General information: Building on the Past outlines the rediscovery of a 19th century iron ore washing operation at Benner Commerce Park. The park, opened in 2010, sits on the former Valentine Iron Ore Washing Plant, which was run by 3 generations of the Valentine family, from 1887-1898. The exhibit outlines the arrival of the interrelated Valentine and Thomas families in 1815 to take control of Logan Furnace. For almost a century they set the standard for ironmaking in Centre County and the country. Ore washing techniques developed by Abraham S. Valentine in the 1840's are still used worldwide. The second generation’s Robert Valentine introduced the drilling of artesian wells in the 1860's, the first in the county. Of the Quaker faith, the Valentines and Thomas had a hand in bringing the standards of modern life – roads, railroads and electricity – to Centre County. Normal seal hole/tear. 2" separation at first fold. Pinhole separations. Heavy age soil. Inquiries are welcome.
