I was there

I was with the Historical Society when the ghost town was physically re-discovered in 1986. Beautiful day. I was the first into the woods, being just 15, and immediately found what was thought to be the remains of a smithy: horseshoes and hinges hanging from tree limbs where the oaks had grown from underneath the building's debris. Mostly I recall the small Victorian cemetery, lovingly maintained by the farmer upon whose lands it adjoined; and the huge catalpa tree from which I obtained a sapling to be planted in my own yard. That sapling is growing nicely and I visit it every few years. ~ Benjamin Throop (Bthroop1 at yahoo dot com) 70.123.102.6 (talk) 18:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
