Spence Kraybill

An old friend of the family, Spencer L. Kraybill, wrote "Pennsylvania's Pine Creek Valley and Pioneer Families" which contains a lot of info on the Bonnell family.  I first met Spence in 1960 in Jersey Shore, PA.  He was a plumber at the Lewisburg Federal Pennitentary, and subsequently started a plumbing business in Northern Virginia.  I lost track of him after that, but apparently he later moved up Pine Creek.  Steve Bonnell put the Bonnell info on his website at http://www.kbsb.com/kraybill/.
