Ken... Forgot to include Carlisle Twp. to the previous message about LC quarries. I do recall that as late as 1975, seeing teens walk down the RR tracks to the old stone quarry on lot 25 in the southeast corner of Carlisle Twp. It was originally owned by the Grafton Stone Co., that was near Hart's Station. See the 1874 atlas of LC. I also once swam in a dangerous quarry, back in my home state of MI as an adolescent & in my teen years. We were unaware of all the hazards too. There were some who drowned there too & a couple young people that became totally paralyzed from diving stunts gone wrong. -- Nancy M.

And before it became the "Grafton Stone Co.", William Webster, a first settler in that area, owned this quarry. He built the stone schoolhouse on Indian Hollow Rd. near the quarry, and the stone house across the road from the old school with stones from the quarry. My dad's older sisters attended school here in the 1920's. The old school was made into a home in the mid 1900's. The quarry was one of my dad's favorite swimmin' holes.
