Sara,

I have not seen the exact info about Lycoming County that you
posted, but I did find this  " << ABRAHAM TITMAN>> , farmer, P.O.
Iola, was born in Greenwood Township, March 1, 1843, the eldest son
of Isaac and Beulah (Kline) Titman. The grandfather of our subject
was << Abraham Titman>> , whose wife was Jane Robbins, and to them
were born three children. Abraham was among the early settlers and
for several years kept a tavern on the place now owned by Humphrey
Parker, on the Greenwood road; he was a farmer, also operated a saw-
mill and carried on lumbering. Our subject was reared in Greenwood
Township, where he lived until he located on the farm which he now
owns, consisting of 100 acres; he came here in 1865. He married
Emma, daughter of Philip Shoemaker, and they have one son, Walter
K., born March 26, 1868. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Iola." in the following source:  Battle, J.H., History of
Columbia and Montour Counties, 1887 (part II) pp.527-532.

I found this also, in the same source, pp. 264-269
"Iola Lodge, No. 711, Free and Accepted Masons, was organized at
Iola July 5, 1870, by C.F. Knapp and others, members of Van Camp
Lodge at Bloomsburg. The charter members were Wilson M. Eves, N.G.;
John Lore, V.G.; John Leggatt, treasurer; William Burgess,
secretary; W.H. Hayman, assistant secretary; Ira C. Pursel, S.W.;
Isaac K. << Titman>> , J.W.; William Lowton, O.G.; Benjamin Lore,
L.S.S.; Amos Harlan, R.S.S. It was removed to Pine Summit, October
1, 1881, at the dispensation of the Grand Lodge. The present
officers are Samuel Williams, William Kingston, J.R. Fowler and J.F.
Crist."

In addition, in Lycoming County, "Unityville is the only village in
the township. It has one Temperance House, kept by John J. Fay, and
two stores<97> Pennington, Moore & Seeley's, and A.H. Seward' s. There
are no summer residences within its borders, and no other industries
but the grist mill, lumbering, and farming. The postoffice, named
Unityville, was established June 1, 1854, and Philip Young was
appointed postmaster. He was succeeded by James Young, appointed
March 28, 1855; Valentine Winstertein, October 23, 1872; John <<
Robbins>> , Jr., November 23, 1876; Oliver Getty, May 31, 1877;
Milton W. Bollsford, February 17, 1879; Charles F. Seely, May 21,
1884; Thomas R. Everett, October 22, 1885; Charles F. Seely, March
23, 1889, present incumbent."  The source for this was:  Meginnes,
John F.; Ed., History of Lycoming County, 1892 pp.550-566.

I hope that is helpful.  I've only been a member of this group for a
few days, but have already gotten some great leads!  This is great.
