Hallstead/Great Bend - Text for photo shown with article: Connecting Hallstead to Great" Bend, spanning the Susquehanna River, is the Hallstead Bridge. At one time it was a wooden structure, but is now made of steel. There were many floods in this area, almost one every year. The last big flood was in March of 1948 when the water rose rapidly during the night making it almost impossible for those living in the low, flat lands to move to higher ground and to safety. We are unsure of the date when this picture was taken, but the oil or kerosene lamp in the bottom right-hand corner may provide a clue.

Susquehanna County - In Susquehanna County there are eight newspapers published. Some of the editors have never seen each other and are of the opinion that it is high time to get acquainted.
