Hi Norma and Robin, We lived on the Studer (sp) Place when my father worked for Lloyd B. Wescott. I don't know much about the Wescott family except that they had a daughter, Deborah, who was probably born about 1941. Lloyd's brother, the author Glenway Wescott, lived next door to Lloyd. We lived in his house for a while and my mother was employed by him. I have a couple pictures of his home, Stone Blossom. It was destroyed when the whole area was flooded to create the Spruce Run Reservoir. Faye
Faye and fellow Jerseyans, A long time ago, and the memories play tricks. I remember that area before the flooding and was interested if they ever saved any of the houses before the flooding. I think there are others on here that may have an answer. We're going back in time to 1870 for the Conover farm. I wondered if the game warden's ( Spinks) had his house flooded. I used to take our Girl Scouts there after the flooding and the whole area had changed. Hope someone else can dig up some memories. Another thing I wanted to see if anyone on memories remembers one of the Conover farms burning in the 30's. I stood on Mary Ann's corner a little girl and remembered that fire. Was owned by J. Taylor Coonover at one time. So long ago. Wish I had access to the High Bridge Gazette, I bet they covered the fire. Thanks for any help I get.
