1869 Church

view map

This church, on Ellicott Road at the foot of Cole Road,
in Orchard Park was the original church of our family.
Actually, the story is, my great grandfather assisted
in the construction of the original building. I remember
a story my grand father mentioned he remembered that
there were spittoons in certain pews. Family stories,
you never know how stretched they are.

I can still hear the voice of your grandpa and grandma in the recesses of my memory. And see the twinkle in their eyes. Oh, how I loved coming out to the country to visit their farm. It was such treat for your city-slicker cousin. Pumping water by hand from the well and have potato fights in the lofts in the barn. I'd love to visit the property and get a tour from the current owners today, which ironically is only a few miles from where I now live. Here's to Gladys and Ed.
