3.   An interesting article written by Justin Eger about Cliff's background published in 2004 in the Cresson Mainliner.

Cliff is fondly remembered in the Cresson community for his twenty-eight years’ service on the Cresson police force, twenty-five of those years as Chief of Police for the township.  During those years, local residents remember him for always being available to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.  A local newspaper reporter described him as having “unrelenting humor and optimism.”  These admirable qualities are as evident today as ever.

                    Line 37  of the 1930 San Census as an employee of the san and is described as

                   a laborer at the hog farm.  His age is listed as 52 and he was married at 22. 

                 10.  The pig farm at Cresson San. About forty thousand pounds  of fresh pork were 

                produced annually at the Sanatorium piggery, located on the north side of Route 22 

                at some distance from the hospital buildings.  This constituted the major portion

               of fresh pork used in a year, and was the only part of the food supply prodced on the

              grounds.  The piggery was started in 1914, near the barn, and was moved to its

              present location on the north side of Rt 22 in 1916.  In July 1953 operation of the pig

              farm was discontinued, because it was found to be unprofitable.

                white body with green Pennsylvania Coat of Arms and green stripes.  Cliff says that

               the san disposed of their food waste by sending it to be fed to the pigs and often

                there were plates and silverware mixed in.
