Mount Union borough
The Captain Jack Motel

Nothing further from the county histories. The six histories held here end in 1913 and this story belongs to 2015, so there is no passage in them that bears on it. Rather than attach an unrelated page and let it look like corroboration, this story stands on the sources listed below.
