The Saxe family has a long history in Sullivan and Bradford Counties. Originally spelled "Sachs", the surname is
German in origin, although the original immigrant to this area, Joseph Sachs, born in Germany in 1777, was married to Lucy Yost, born in Maryland in 1781.
The attached ancestral trees reveal two descendants branches, splitting off from John and Lucretia "Lucy" (Lauphfrum) Saxe. The Saxes settled initially in the
Wilmot community just over the line from sullivan County, then outmigrated throughout the two counties over the following 100 years:
Descendants from Joseph Sachs to Thaddeus Saxe
Descendants from Joseph Sachs to Charles H. Saxe
These two branches come down through different grandsons, Lewis Saxe and Samuel Saxe, respectively.

Gordon P. Tubach, 92, one of Dushore's most distinguished citizens,
died on May 23, 2001, at The Highlands in Laporte.
Born Philip Gordon Tubach on January 16, 1909, in Colley, he was
the eldest child of William P. and Edith Weaver Tubach.
He received his early education in the Colley schools and was
valedictorian of the fist graduation class in the new St. Basil's High School
building, Dushore, in 1927.
During high school he boarded and worked in Dushore for Tubach's
Furniture Factory and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and
afterwards held positions in Scranton, New Jersey and California.
After returning to Pennsylvania, he married the former Marian E.
Sick of Mildred in 1931. He began working for the Prudential Insurance Co. as
an agent in Bradford and Sullivan counties shortly afterwards and retired from
that company in 1969 after 37 years of service. His insurance career was
interrupted when he became the first Sullivan County father to be drafted to
serve in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. During his two year tour as
an Army infantryman in Virginia, Maryland and Texas, his wife, Marian, took over his insurance responsibilities to secure
his position for his return.
Always very active in community affairs, Gordon was mayor of
Dushore for 32 years, a charter member of the Dushore Lions Club, life member
of the American Legion post No. 996, and one of the founding fathers of the
Dushore Fire Company and Little League. He served on the Sullivan County
Development Committee, which was instrumental in bringing both the Sull-Craft
Manufacturing and Endicott Johnson Shoe factories to the county. He was also a
member of the Dushore Borough Council and the Centennial Committee and was on
the boards of the Dushore Water Co. and the First National Bank.
A devoted member of the St. Basil's Church, he was very active in
its Holy Name Society and a chairman on its July 4 picnic committee for many
years. Gordon was also an avid sportsman, particularly enjoying fishing,
hunting and golf, and was a member of the Wolfe Island Club.
He was predeceased by his wife of 42 years, Marian, in 1973; his
second wife, Pauline McGee Hassen; brothers Raymond and Earl; and sister, Leona
(Francis) Kaminsky.
Survivors include sons Wayne of Laporte, Paul of Glen Allen, VA;
