This is Foster "Doc" Blose's place on the Wilgus Road (seen at lower left), between Hillsdale and Gipsy, Pennsylvania. Doc's grandson lives there now with his family. This house was torn down and there is a bigger home built there, up on the bank, rather than right on the corner. The road on the right leads up to the Montgomery Township Rod & Gun Club and the Hillsdale ballfield. The property to the right of that road was once the Thomas and Mary Ann Bostic Trimble farm, and the area, along with the schoolhouse, was known as the Trimble District and the Trimble School. In the early 20th century, it became known as Blose Hollow, with the school being called the Blose School.
