 My Grandfather, John Sylvester Poorman, built our house at 15 E. Brown St., and Dad finished it off when he and Mom moved
in after Grandfather died. Gram moved back to Jessamine Street in Lock Haven.
|
 This is the Castanea train station, about two blocks from our house. We used to play around it when we were kids,
e.g. putting pennies on the track for trains to squash them.
|
||||||
We used to go to carnivals and circuses at the Castanea Fire House. I remember the medicine show (and the
side shows) HA!
|
 I used to enjoy watching the Piper planes take off and land in my back yard when I lived on Island Route by the
airport in Castanea Twp.
|
||||||
We used to play in the old brewery. There was a big old safe on the second floor that we always tried to break
into trying different combinations. HA!
|
I tell my granddaughters stories about how we went into the dark brewery and tossed stones down into the vats to see
how long it took them to hit bottom . . . SPLASH! Moral: Don't play in brewerys, or you might fall in the vats and die!
