Yesterday I visited Kane, PA in north central Pennsylvania. It is an isolated community in oil country south of Bradford. Kane was founded by General Thomas Kane at the summit of the railroad to Erie. Because of its isolation and elevation it has gotten a reputation as "the icebox of PA."

In Kane is the Kane Memorial Chapel where he is buried. This chapel was purchased by the Morman church and is now dedicated to the friendship between General Kane and the Mormans. It is a rather complicated story which this link goes into some detail:
