The right of every citizen to vote is something we, as a nation, hold sacred. But as individuals we often take that right for granted. It is especially important that our men and women in uniform are afforded the opportunity and exercise that right. We would like to encourage you to: (1) Contact family members and friends who are serving on active duty and encourage them to register to vote. (2) Keep them up to date on candidates and issues and (3) inform them of key events on the election calendar.

The early evolvement of the Mormon faith in Bradford County was not identified with a developing hamlet or even the county seat of Towanda, but in rural Columbia Township, not far from Troy. One person in particular, Alpheus Gifford, embraced the Latter Day Saint faith and had much influence in developing the church and induced several other families in Columbia Township and neighboring Rutland Township in Tioga County to convert, including the family of future leader Brigham Young, who after the death of Joseph Smith, would lead the great journey in history across the plains to Utah.
