It seems that so much emphasise has been placed on Black Beard and the Wongs that many important citizens of Venango are being overlooked. There were, for example, the Trilligers. The Trilligers were a very musical family. While some people said that their musical abilities arose from hereditary factors, extensive research has shown that their melodious abilities could be explained by diet. They consumed a lot of musical fruit. While I would love to invite our expert researcher to testify here as to the validity of all this, I am afraid that he is unavailable as he has long ago succumbed to the musicality of that family and has passed on to his reward. It was sad. I, however, can personally attest to the facts here related, as I suffered greatly, having the hair permanently singed off my arms and legs. I still have the hair on my head as I was wearing a football helmet. My brothers were down wind and not wearing helmets. They were not so lucky, but I digress.
Three of the Trilliger brothers played the trumpet. That is to say, there were three brothers and one trumpet. They all played it at the same time. They could do this because they had two lips between the three of them. I believe that is due to the fact that they came from Holland. Holland is famous for two lips. It all had something to do with their four fathers and aunt/sisters. Unfortunately someone stole their trumpet and blew it up. After that they took up farming. They had an old goat, several jack asses and a couple of pigs. They bought them from some bird who was a yellow bellied redneck. He was known to skip down the main street at the crack of dawn. He became known as Skippy and was elected town mascot.
Another interesting fact is that George Washington came down French Creek and made his famous crossing at Venango. You may have seen copies of the picture of him crossing the Delaware. That's a lie and an attempt to steal fame away from Venango. In fact, Washington crossed French Creek, not the Delaware. and the original photo is hung in the town hall on the main square.
Town Hall is where important decisions are made and is on the same circle, in that square ,with the Methodist Church on one side and the corner tavern on the other. Actually, they like to pretend that decisions are made in the town hall but in fact most important business takes place in the tavern.
I might also take this opportunity to mention the Legg sisters, Peg and Piano. Peg plays the organ in the Methodist Church. Peg Legg has been a pillar of the church for years. I'm not sure what Piano Legg does but I'm sure she holds up her end of things.
