Found the old pull type just south of where one of the barns used to be. Guess it was not worth hauling off for scrap then. First time I had been back since I was a little tyke. I think of ancestors not known to me but by name. My GGG Grandfather came from Kentucky and purschased the land. Direct family lived on it until it was taken for the lake. Of course, this part of the farm was on the high ground where the lake does not cover. [Reply]   [No Email]

Don"t know about donor parts being that it is on state and corp land now. I guess she will rust in peace for a couple decades more.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The town of Richland was leveled to make way for the lake, then politics got involved and the dam was moved further east. The town was not submerged but the only thing that remains is the concrete slabs. A friends grandfather showed me pics of the town dating from 1890 to the early 1960's. We live 2 miles from where the town was. It was really neat to see his pics, I need to scan them before he is gone and they are lost. A connection to Stockton, my grandfather keeps a boat there and I love to go down there. It is beautiful country and I enjoy the drive. Thank you for sharing your families story.   [Reply]  [No Email]
