Chambersburg
Generations of people have long been drawn to Chambersburg due to its location. In 1734, Scots-Irish immigrant Benjamin Chambers recognized the vegetation and powerful waters here, and he chose the Connococheague Creek and the Falling Spring as the location for his grain mill. Chambersburg has since served as a focal point of transportation as a result of its location at the crossroads of the historic Lincoln Highway and Route 11. Chambersburg journeys back to witness events such as the devastation of the Confederate burning of 1864, the creation of the majestic square and Memorial Fountain, and circus time at Wolf Lake. This collection of original images captures the times of trains and trolleys, recollects fires and floods, and pays tribute to the people and places that have made Chambersburg a unique and persevering community.

The Sherk Family
Ulrich Sherk (1703-1766) married Maria Grundbach in 1730, and in 1752 they emigrated from Switzerland to Philadelphia, and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Their only known child, John Sherk (1745/1750-1837), a Mennonite, married Barbara Berg about 1772/1773, and moved in 1795 to Welland County, Ontario. Descendants (some spelling the surname Scherich, Scherck or Schürch) lived in Ontario, British Columbia and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to New York, Michigan, Iowa, California and elsewhere in the United States.
