BIOGRAPHY: Pleasurville United Methodist Ch 135th Anniversary flyer 2606 N.Sherman St, York gives following account page 5
"A man named Anthony Seiple, known as the "king of possums" lived in a small
village near the city of York. Earning this title because he was an avid "coon
and possum hunter", the community in which he lived, soon beame known as
"Possumtown". Later on, its citizens decided that their town needed a "more
desirable" name, thus, the name of Pleasureville."

I am very proud of my ancestry with little fanfare they manage to survive their simple lives and to leave a legacy that would put the royal born kings and queens to shame.  It matters very little that they left few records, or that the records left of them never bore their own hand since most of them were illiterate. They did what no king or queen probably ever did, cut out of rough terra a home and left it in a condition that generations now enjoy, without them and their ilk this country would look much different, without the simple landed man there would be no country.
