Rare, subtle, but purposeful inconsistencies and random pieces of information presented in early 20th century writings alluding to both literal and figurative subsurface occurrences in and around Sellersville, Pennsylvania.
1. Inconsistencies and references to duplication of properties began in the early 20th
century, which is
consistent with the previously-mentioned timing of the discovery of uranium deposits in the Sellersville
area. Most writers do not acknowledge these property issues, but E. Matthews--much like Walter
Emerson Baum-- drops subtle hints in random places throughout his work regarding various subjects.
References are also made throughout this book to several properties in the Sellersville/Rockhill/
Hilltown area being abandoned beginning in the year 1906, but no reason is given as to why.
