    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SRB.2ACE/11874.2 Message Board Post: Michelle, In the summer of 1952 I worked for Frank THAYER at their farm in Ivory, NY, just east of Frewsburg. I also worked for them during the school year on weekends. I go past the farm often, and feel sad that the barns have all fallen down. Frank was so proud of how nicely he kept the place. I have never heard of any secret passageways, and I have been through ever part of that house over the many months I worked for them. I also never heard of any underground railroad at their farm. Frank and his wife (who's first name I can't at this moment remember) had me clean every nook and crannie of the cellar and attic and all around that house. I never saw anything that would lead me to believe that it was a station of the underground railroad, but would be glad to converse with you further on this subject. Get back to me. Dr. Dixon G.
