8/16/72 Surgent Interview
- ? & ? lived in #147
- Across from Surgents was the "Company
Field" on which was raised hay & oats,
etc. for more food. Was phased out
shortly after mules were, because for
several years the people who owned cows
raised feed on it.
- Episcopal Church basement had facilities
for suppers. Held sewing classes during
certain evenings of the week. The biggest
Christmas tree in Eckley was traditionally
in the body of this church, resplendent
with candles (tapers), tinsel strands, candy canes.
This tree went floor to ceiling (30 feet).
When the Minister couldn't come in from
Freeland, Mr. Bachman would conduct
the services!

I had some difficulty with the penmanship . Thank you.
The 1st name in Line 1 may be Sheeran (spelled incorrectly) which, according to an old map, the Shearon family lived in #143 across from Surgents. I can’t figure out the 2nd name either.
Thanks for adding this note! We will check the originals and see if they are more legible
