A 61-year old resident of the rugged country in the Steam Valley section walked two miles in the chilly late Saturday afternoon air to reach a telephone to tell L.L. Stearns and Sons, “I believe I’ve got the $500 you lost.”

Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Livermore, Cogan House R.D., noticed a story in Saturday’s Gazette and Bulletin which told of the loss of a large sum of money, part of the payroll at noon Friday between L.L. Stearns and Sons and the Williamsport National Bank.

The newspaper account urged the finder to get in touch with the store and since they had the money in their possession Mr. Livermore decided to walk two miles to a telephone and call Williamsport. The task could have been done much more easily because the Livermores have a telephone in their home, but rural phones are semi-private and Mr. Livermore wanted the information to be confidential, so he made the two- mile trek to a private phone.

The Livermores living in a remote part of the county, have gone without electric lights and electric service, but according to a store’s representative, they will no longer have to do without electrification of their home. Also, a spokesman assured, the department store “will take good care of them.”
