Warren, Pine Creek Furnace and Stewardson Furnace are two different places. They are just about a 15 or 20 minute drive apart. The smoke stack of Pine Creek Furnace still is above ground. I have some pictures of it somewhere around here. We live about 10 minutes away from Pine Creek Furnace and had an old friend of ours pointed it out to us several years ago. By the way, I think I recognize your name from the Lambing family. Kathy Marcinek is a good friend of mine. I think you two might have corresponded.
