Shelvey Summit
by Sherry Jesberger
SHELVEY SUMMIT is located on Route 948 about three miles outside of Kersey going toward
Ridgeway. It was named for an Irish immigrant named Shelvey who had a farm in the area. My
great grandmother, Bessie (Moyer) Copella used to talk of teaching school in Shelvey
Summit. There is a ski run somewhere in the area, and Mervyn Kemmerer has a large farm
here. There are no stores, but plenty of dwellings today.
