    1. [PAFRANKL] HAWK, Chambersburg, 1820-1840

    3. I recently learned via the list that my gg grandfather John S. Hawk was in all likelyhood in business as a cabinet maker in Chambersburg from Sept 1830 until March of 1832. I am particularly interested to know if anyone has or knows of a source for pictures of the area of Chambersburg known as the diamond during or close to that period. I would doubt that many photographs would exist. That area was most probably burned in 1864; I have seen some pictures of the burned area but do not know if the specific area I'm interested in is shown. Perhaps some sketches or paintings exist which show the" northeast corner of the diamond, three doors from the Court House", which is where the cabinet makers shop was located. I'll look at Kittochtinny Hist Soc. the next time I'm there, but in the mean time, I'm asking the list. -- Bill Hawk
