Morris, New York

Looking west on Main St. Late afternoon with long shadows on the road some awnings down and some up. Front and back of card.

Front page of the Binghamton, NY Press on July 6, 1937.

The airstrip owned and used by H.H. Linn was on Patrick Hill. You can see the runway and hangar circled on the aerial photo above taken on May 31, 1937. To help you understand where the airstrip was located I have an aerial photograph that shows Patrick Hill from Pegg Rd. on the left to Potato Farm Rd. on the right. Click on link below for that view

When my great grandparents moved into the red (Former Franz Thresher, now Utter) house on North Broad just outside village limits, and had a phone installed. They would later deed it to their oldest son, Lynn, in 1912, who in turn swopped it off with Threshers for the present John Lull farm up by the old reservoir.
