Photo 75-OAR-17

Comments

Connected for sure, my childhood home. And again all the outbuildings are gone. Farm was built by my grandfather David DeMerchant. When he bought the land there was a small log cabin so all the buildings in the photo he did. Still owned by my mother Celia DeMerchant Beaulier. She spends the summers there and most of us visit every summer also.

Dave Demerchant's farmi in Buffalo. Henry and Cecilia (Dave and Bessie's daughter and her husband,), later took over
the farm when Dave and Bessie moved to Presque Isle during WWII. Dave had a little store just to the right of the
driveway. I used to go there for molasses and penny candy. If a piece of wood from the drilling of the molasses barrel
came out in the molasses, Dave used to telll me that it was toenails !!!!

This is how it looked when I first met the family back in the 60's...

Just the house and Daltys cabins there now.
