Summer is over— time for a new school year to begin. The first news clipping from the Sullivan Republican on August 31, 1894 tells us that Arthur Botsford will be erecting a brand new schoolhouse in Nordmont..

The second article published on October 26, 1894, proudly announced the Nordmont Schoolhouse was completed.

Ralph Jake Sharrow (1902-1977)
Harriet Snyder Sharrow (1912-1991)

Ralph was born November 10, 1902 in Nordmont, PA. His parents were, Edward J. Sharrow and Ella Jane Hess.

Harriet’s parents were Edwin Snyder and Amanda Radar. On June 27, 1928, Ralph Sharrow and Harriet Snyder married. The couple had five children— Lois, Shirley, Wayne, Dale “Pee Wee”, and Lee.

Over the years, Ralph’s occupation was recorded in various censuses as; laborer in the Chemical Works, laborer on the railroad and road work laborer and employee of the Sardoni Construction Co.

In addition to raising her children, Harriet was an active member of the Nordmont community. She was a member of the Nordmont United Methodist Church for over 40 years and a past president and member of the Ladies Aid Society. Harriet was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 602, a member of the Sullivan Country School Board and the Republican’s Women Association. But I’m certain she was widely remembered for being caretaker and cook for the Nordmont Recreation Club.

Ralph passed away at the age of 75 on October 31, 1977. Harriet died on April 23, 1991 in the Methodist Home (now the Highlands Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center) in Laporte, at age 78. Ralph and Harriet Sharrow rest together in Cherry Grove Cemetery in Nordmont.

On a very cold day last February, Mike Clementoni was out in the woods cutting firewood. His hands as usual, get extremely cold despite wearing gloves. Later that evening, Mike looked at his hands and his wedding ring was gone!!! Naturally, he was heartbroken and very upset. Mike assumed he had lost the ring in the woods somewhere when he pulled his gloves off numerous times.

Mike borrowed a friend’s metal detector and searched for an extended time, but to no avail. He was really upset. Others said to buy another, but it wouldn’t be the same as this was the one Jeanette put on Mike's finger over 45 years ago.

Today, while setting up his saw outside to begin cutting wood for the Cherry Grove Christmas fundraiser, he was putting his roller stand in place at the edge of their driveway. As he bent over to adjust the height Mike noticed a circular object next to the leg of the stand. HE couldn’t believe what he was seeing, IT WAS HIS RING!! Mike was in shock at first as he was half mile from where he was cutting firewood in February! Had he not started working on the Cherry Grove project, Mike wouldn’t have found it today, maybe never. And if he had set that stand 12” in either direction, Mike wouldn’t have found it.

The Lord works in mysterious ways! Thank you God🙏

And so the fundraiser begins
