Shown here is an original painting by Mr. Charles Wetzel, a retired engineer from DuPont Corporation and a distinguished author of a very rare and valuable book on fly fishing. Mr. Fall was an icon in the community. He was an idiot savant who, while ignorant of most things, was a mathematical genius. You could take any date and he could tell you the day of the week that day fell on. He knew the date of birth and death for every person buried in Beavertown's cemeteries.

While he was teased a lot, he was very respected by the citizens of Beavertown.

Shown here is the very first passenger rail station in Beavertown. It was remodeled in 1888 with vast improvements. In this station many young men learned the art of telegraphy and worked for the P.R.R. in many parts of the eastern United States.
