Kim Bartoo shows off great-uncle Howard Douglass' 1770's flintlock rifle – always in the family. He told how “Uncle Harold” found it in a wall while helping a neighbor work on his home. Harold asked if he could have it (!!!) and the neighbor replied “It's your dad's!”

How great to see all this!
Ella Mae Peters donated some wonderful paintings. One of them became the prize for the eldest n attendance – but since Ella Mae
was the eldest there, it went to the runner-up, Doris Bartow,
seated next to son Bill.

Part of the clan going thru the cemetery; a fascinating journey.
The old barn on Sike's property, at "Carr's Corners" -- if anyone but
the locals can find it. This is all that's left from his days...but wow,
to be there walking around, thinking about him or Grandpa walking around as a kid without a clue to the posterity he would leave!
The beauty of this area, the good spirit there, the family heritage...no wonder they call Potter County “God's Country!”
