IN 1902, M. S. DUNHAM CAME TO SALTVILLE FROM TITUSVILLE, PA. TO TAKE OVER THE WELL DRILLING OPERATIONS. HE LIVED IN THIS HOUSE AND ALSO SERVED AS MAYOR FOR A WHILE. HIS SON, HARRY, ALSO LIVED HERE. THE HOUSE IS NOW OWNED BY HARRY AND REBA DUNHAM'S DAUGHTER, MARY.
THE WALNUT TREE DIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE PICTURE IS FROM APRIL OF 1957. Courtesy of Don Smith dsmith1043@comcast.net
