During these times of social distancing and staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, we all are looking for things to keep us occupied and busy.

Consider dusting off the family albums and pictures and make sure they are identified for future generations.

Often the Weisenberg Lowhill Township Historical Society receives photos that are not identified and yet are so important to the area and its history, as well as to the family trying to identify them.

Several years ago, the historical society received two very long photos from John and Nancy Civitts.

Nancy is a retired teacher for the Northwestern Lehigh School District at Weisenberg Elementary.

These two pictures belonged to John’s mother-in-law who had recently died.

John’s father, J. Paul Civitts, was a teacher in the Northwestern School District. In his career there, he taught physics and earth sciences, along with being the wrestling and football coach, and athletic director over the years.

These two pictures are of the second and third annual picnics of the Hokomocus group from Claussville, Lowhill Township.

The historical society was not aware of such a group and would love to know more and possibly identify some of the participants.

If you have any information on this group and or can identify any of the men in the picture, email Gloria Zimmerman at gfzimm@ptd.net.
