Joe Elsbree |
Joe Elsbree and his wife Ruth
called me recently and asked me to come over and fieldwalk on one
of their fields with them.
Joe was nice enough to tell me about his family and about field that they
had brought me to had been a place where many arrowheads had been found, and
there has been "black earth" that many years of plowing has never erased.
Joe tells me that in 1945 when the hill
went up for auction (when Liddiard had the winning bid,) Joe's
grandfather was also at the auction trying to win it for the Bradford County
Historical Society. It never ceases to
amaze me how many families' histories have been touched by Spanish Hill in
one way or another. It was a pleasure meeting Joe and Ruth and their family,
and being able to share some of their collection with you here. |
