Photo 78-XCE-34

Comments

My dad's junkyard. The oldest continually licensed salvage yard in Cecil County. We lived in the house in front until the road was widened. Me and my dad moved the part of the house that was a log cabin, but someone set it on fire while we were at the carnival. The cars are gone, and all of the sheds have fallen in years ago. My dad, Walter Barclay was known for helping people with car parts and advice. He also put in the septic systems and removed the outhouses bringing people in this part of the county modern indoor plumbing. He passed away at the age of 94.
