The snowmobile bridge on Spring St across the Butternut Creek

How many people remember walking or snowmobiling across the suspension bridge across the Butternut Creek? It connected Olds Rd with East River Rd. My father, my sister-in-law, and my wife are shown crossing the bridge in this photo that dates to around 1981 or so.

Garrattsville and Its People in the Long Ago -- a Morris Chronicle series

I was looking for information on the Garrattsville Hammer Factory after buying a 170 price list on eBay and ran onto this 6 part series, which was "Witten[sic] for the Chronicle." You can read the articles by opening the PDFs below. I have uploaded the entire Chronicle pages since so many people seem to enjoy seeing other content on the page.

1850 Harrington & Warren, Manufacturers, Garrattsville

Ever have trouble spelling Garrattsville? Many people do, including the printer of this price list for Manure and Hay Forks and Hammers manufactured in Garrattsville. The printer spelled Garrattsville with only one T, but the postmaster managed to get it correct noting that the letter was being mailed on Dec. 26.
