8428 Apples Church Rd., Thurmont.

This was owned by William D. Powell. 2nd
The Farm name is Arrowhead Farm. They had a few Angus cattle and Hogs along with the fish ponds.
It had 54 fish ponds on it until the mid 40s.
They raised bait fish. Then as that dwindled they were filled in. And they went with Raising Angus Beef cattle.
Which is continuing today thru a neighboring farmer.
William D. Powell 2nd has passed and His children are now managing it. I helped on the Farm at times because we were neighbours. The House and Barn are the same some of the outbuildings have changed. I lived at 8018 Apples church rd.
