| February 6th 1948 - 10 miles south of Tamaqua |
Dad worked in the mines from 1934 to 1959. He also moonlighted as a farmer. We owned a little farm on Lime Kiln Road just off Route 309 at the base of the Blue Mountain.
The story goes there was an ice storm that night and Dr Weissner arrived at about 10 pm from Mantzville. He came inside and said I would probably arrive in the morning. He rolled up his coat for a pillow on our sofa - and went to sleep. At 4:45 am - I arrived.
The story goes they hung a ham on a stick out the window of the upstairs bedroom - and the stork left me and took the ham. The doctor charged $15 for his services.
Our old farmhouse - barn - and outdoor toilet - still stands almost 75 years later. This is not our real farm - but a very similar picture.
