Cardtown, part of Pittsfield, NY

In the New Berlin Gazette for November 6, 2019, in The Early Files section on page 5 there is a mention of some rough going for a pair of Linn tractors.

November 1, 1919
"A Linn tractor came to the mill in Cardtown after a load of lumber. Recent rains had made the mud very deep near the mill and the caterpillar became buried. A second one came to the rescue and suffered the same fate. As a result the two remained fast until the morning."

A book published by The Pittsfield Historical Society in 2001,
Town of Pittsfield: A History

has some great photos and stories. Among them are those collected on page 95 concerning the Cardtown school house located in District No. 4 near the intersection of Otsego County Highways 49 and 17.
