Lawrence & Lillian Flewelling farm on the Graham Rd. Easton. Potato House is just being built.

This was my grandparents farm.

Orig. Oscar & Fern Flewelling's farm. . Lawrence & Lillian lived in the smaller home in front of the trees. Lawrence planted trees on the side hill before the potato house. Stan & Delores Jordan live in the big house, now. Aunt Lillian said that their house was the oldest one in the Chute.

My grand parents farm.so many good memories.

Lemuel Oscar Flewelling was the son of Lemuel Ezekiel Flewelling and Elma/Alma Agnetta "Net" Flewelling. Net was the daughter of Samuel Flewelling and Amaret Covert and a sister to Boyd A Flewelling and Charles Henry Flewelling (father of Milton Flewelling). Lemuel was the son of Enos J Flewelling, a brother of Samuel Flewelling.

This square house owned at one time by Oscar Glewelling was built by my grandfather, George Dane, He and his first wife settled in this area after moving from Bairdsville, New Brunswick. He came to the area about 1880 and bought several parcels along that side of the Graham Road. After his first wife died, he married Bertha Nicholson of Canterbury, N.B. His brother, was married to her sister, Ann Dean. George changed the spelling of his last name from Dean to Dane because he had a half-brother who was named George Dean. In the first decade of the 20th century, he sold this farm, married Bertha, had a daughter Helen Dane Todd (born 1910), and built a house identical to this one on the West Ridge Road in Easton (now owned by Fire Chief White).
