A while ago, it was rumored to be for sale for 4 mil., I saw it listed for less than half of that and the most recent figure is 775k. My dad bought that 8.8 acre parcel back in 1966 for $26,000.00.

As far as I know, the current owners (since 1977)have never had this property up for sale. I do know that the small house just to the right of the property's drive way was for sale. When we were kids living here, we found many medicine bottles at the mill site. The house was formerly owned by a Dr. Francis Kenyon. Back in the early days, a woman doctor was nearly unheard of. I have a "mushroom basket" with her name stenciled on the handle. Just wanted to share that bit with you!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723785067384803499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342325606450365558.post-17798745384915642952017-01-28T17:30:31.325-05:002017-01-28T17:30:31.325-05:00Just stumbled upon this - thank you!Just stumbled upon this - thank you!Martha Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816162715577111411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342325606450365558.post-8030179166983749712016-04-23T22:36:05.418-04:002016-04-23T22:36:05.418-04:00It is said that the great mathematician Euler (170...It is said that the great mathematician Euler (1707-1783) memorized the entire Aeneid, then many years later if you pointed to a random page and started reading, Euler could tell you what page you were on, where you were on the page, and then he would continue reading where you left off -- all from memory, since he was blind!

I only recently started my family genealogy and discovered that Samuel Rodman was my great-great-great grandfather.

I grew up in the 60's with it in my backyard. It was one of my favorite places to go to escape my 5 siblings for a while. We were the last people to farm the property and the land around the cemetery was flat pastureland, quite beautiful. I appreciated the walls around the cemetery because it meant the cows couldn't get into it! The 2 gravel pits that existed back then to its north and south have both encroached to the point of making the cemetery an island inside them. It is sad to see it that way today. Thank you for cleaning it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342325606450365558.post-66535970495596732052012-11-19T01:39:12.749-05:002012-11-19T01:39:12.749-05:00I quite agree, Becca.
