Subsequent chapters deal with Delaware County's Townships and Boroughs, and cover its agricultural, industrial, medical, legal, educational, and religious aspects.  The second volume contains dozens of biographies of important persons and families from the Delaware County region.  This is a nice addition to the earlier biographical volumes of the county, covering men of note who were overlooked and also ones from a more recent generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSurnames Indexed:\u003cbr\u003e\nAdams, Allcut, Anthony, Armitage, Armour, Asbell, Baker, Bauer, Beatty, Berry, Bielski, Billstein, Birney, Bonner, Boulden, Broomall, Brown, Buckley, Burns, Butterworth, Carter, Chadwick, Citrenbaum, Clarke, Cloud, Cohill, Collins, Comfort, Cox, Craig, Crist, Crowther, Cummins, Darlington, Davis, Deans, DeFieria, Desmond, DiMedio, Drewes, Duke, Emmons, Ervin, Eynon, Faison, Fowden, Fronefield, Fussell, Ganster, Gibson, Gill, Gray, Green, Guasco, Hamilton, Harvey, Haselnuss, Hayes, Headley, Hill, Hinkson, Holl, Howell, Hughes, Hulme, Hunter, Hussey, Hyott, James, Jeter, Jump, Kestner, King, Kirk, Klopp, Kraft, Kreig, Lafferty, Leward, Lippincott, Long, Luckie, Lutz, MacCarter, MacDade, Mahon, Malin, Mathews, McClure, McClurg, McDade, McDowell, McGovern, Milbourn, Miller, Mink, Montgomery, Neilsen, Nelling, Neymetz, Nolan, Noskow, O'Shea, Palmer, Pancoast, Park, Pedlow, Pierce, Powell, Price, Ramsey, Reeser, Reid, Rigby, Robinson, Rockett, Russell, Sanderson, Seigle, Skelly, Smallow, Smith, Sproul, Stewart, Streeper, Sweney, Taylor, Times, Toal, Toppin, Trainer, Turner, Uff, VanRoden, Wagner, Wallace, Ward, Webb, Weeks, Wetherill, White, Wilkins, Witman, Wolfenden, Wright\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PA-Genealogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42582662152420,"sku":"DE02","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/3371\/products\/websitelogo_fd0bd5b9-ed78-490d-9195-9fd85b415bfa.jpg?v=1646227986","url":"https:\/\/bookstore.masthof.com\/products\/delaware-county-pa-county-history-biography-collection","provider":"Masthof Bookstore and Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
