"The new owner of the farm land lives in the Lehigh area I think. I remember when I was about 11 or so that Pops(Robert Scheuren) brothers wanted to plow it under but was stopped by the courts when they announced their plans for the over grown, with trees and corrosion of earth & animal holes all over. I used to trap for ground hogs there & muskrats down at the creek & Uncle Clem would make ground hog soup & he & I would clean the musk rats for the fur. He would sell the pelts. I still had some of these traps in the 60's yet. I remember numerous headstones (at least one was about 3 or 4 ft high ) but very hard to read names. A family answered to the courts time frame of yes or no to allow for this to be leveled ( it was/is on a hill ) & that stopped it. The family did come out & they cut the trees & brush down and cleaned it up pretty good. Then it grew up with the brush & trees again & no one ever came back again as far as I know. I remember in the early 50's of Pop & a ga! ng of us setting up about a 25 foot high tower with a vhf/uhf antenna on top of it right next to the cemetary & running antenna tv cable all the way to our house ( a distance of about 600 ft or more ) to try to get channel 8 & 61 on the ' Midwest' tv that Pop got by mail as a kit & him & I put it together. We got figures behind 'snow' & every body screaming " look someone is on tv" Later we did get channel 61 ok but a while later an ice storm knocked the 300 ft tower down on the mountain near Cressona. This is from some of the things I remember of the good life growing up on the farm. Jim Scheuren." Just some interesting dialogue that I thought I'd share.
