dunhamsyard.jpg773 viewsTHESE WERE MYRL DUNHAM'S CARS. THE BIG TREE IN THE BACK YARD WAS AN ENGLISH WALNUT. IT WAS PLANTED BY THE FAMILY THAT CAME TO SALTVILLE FROM ENGLAND WHEN THE MATHIESONS STARTED THE PLANT. THEY LIVED THERE FOR A FEW YEARS AND THEN RETURNED TO ENGLAND. THEIR NAME WAS BARNES.
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

wellfields51973.jpg769 viewsTHE PONDS WERE LOW AND LOOKING RAGGED FROM ABOVE IN MAY OF '73. NOTICE THE SMALL PONDS WHERE THE SOFTBALL FIELD IS NOW LOCATED. THERE IS AN OLD WELL HEAD CLOSE TO SECOND BASE ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD. WE UNCOVERED IT IN 1978 WHEN WE GRADED FOR THE SOFTBALL FIELD. IT WAS COVERED BY A SQUARE PLATE. WE DROPPED ROCKS DOWN THE PIPE AND HEARD SPLASHES. WE PUT THE PLATE BACK OVER IT...COVERED IT AND FINISHED THE FIELD. NO BIG DEAL. Courtesy of Don Smith dsmith1043@comcast.net
