I grew up half way between Petrolia and Fairview! My parents still live there! I have thoroughly explored the woods in that area and there is still defininite evidence of the farm that was once there. I think there house, that is just a foundation and a cistern now, was the Carter house?!? Thanks for your videos!
I think I know where your parents live and that's right by the old Roach farm. I am not sure about Carter's but there were so many houses and farms back there. I will do a little bit of research with some old maps I have and see what I can find! Thanks for watching!
This was really cool to watch! Looking forward to more! Was it Mildred that gave you that photo? She was such a nice lady. If my mom couldn’t find me that’s usually where I was lol
I think you're correct! My family got kicked out because my great grandfather, as a baby, wouldn't stop crying during his christening. They ended up going to a church in East Brady I believe.
Such a kool video. Grew up in bruin. So much history in those woods
LOVED---even seen in the photo of the depot the house that my wife grew up in.
That's great! I'm glad these photos are bringing back old memories. Thanks for watching!

my 2x grandparents lived there. Henry and Rachel Cromling @ 1880
I lived in one of the company houses on the hill inside the plant.!

Mildred didn't give them to me but was gifted them after she died. Lovely woman. I miss her a lot.
Such cool photos...I know a great framer!
I know who you're talking about too!
yes berry made engines. i believe some may still be used today and are collectibles
How about a history on Whitco in the future?
I can do that but i'll have to do a little bit of research first!
My uncles owned the gas station at one time where unimart is now
That's amazing! If you have any great stories to share about them please send us an email at squishydoryproductions@gmail.com!
I also went to the catholic church with my grandmother in the 60s
Trying to find out where " Central Point " is exactly located in Petrolia, Pa. and how did the name Central Point came about ? Thanks.. 👍😊
I think that the Catholic church was St. James. I received my First Communion there.
