Hello:
My name is Frank Balon also. The Frank Balon you are refering to is my grandfather. My brother and I still own the building where Grandpop Frank's bar was. You site my Aunts Annie, Mary and and Uncle Joe, from 1910 census. He actually had three more children after that. My Aunt Julie, my uncle John and my Father, Stanley who was born in 1919. My dad is still alive and is 90 now. He and my mother Marie still live here at the homestead. Annie and Mary died in the 80's, Uncle Joe died in 75, Uncle John (known as Kelly) died in 67. Aunt Julie died in 2002. I would be happy to speak with you or email. I may have some other info of interest, including pictures. There is a history of Freeland Pa website. Just google Freeland Pa history and you will find it. I am in contact with the person who set it up and have sent in pictures of Grandpa Frank behind the bar from the 1930's. Pictures on up on the site. My phone is 570-636-2800. Email is frank.balon@us.army.mil.
