Editor’s Note: Constitution Week is the commemoration of America's most important document. It is celebrated annually during the week of Sept. 17-23. There are two documents of paramount importance to American history: the Declaration of Independence, which forged our national identity, and the United States Constitution, which set forth the framework for the federal government that is still in use today. While Independence Day is a beloved national holiday, fewer people know about Constitution Week, an annual commemoration of the living doc...

Deaths in the commonwealth totaled something over 60,000 (source: https://archives.upenn.edu/exhibits/penn-history/flu). That's still a staggerin...

Herald of Sept. 13, 1945 When Staff Sergeant Nelson E. Ake, aged 25, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer N.
