Morris, New York

?Kevin J. Dragulski? shared this on Morris, NY - Historically speaking

Hargrave Lake from my great Great grandmother Grace Ferris Moore's (1858-1915) perspective. Painted by her in Morris in 1883. Her father Thomas was a furniture/picture frame maker in Chicago's early days. This is one of his frames.

Alexandra Stocker set off a great discussion when she shared this 1906 postcard shown above.

Sleuthing challenge. Whose initials do you think the letter writer's belong to?

Circa 1915

This school was closed due to lack of students in the fall of 1938. The remaining students rode the bus to Morris Central School.

You may go from Morris to China and back without a problem and then one day a patch of ice in Oneonta does you in. See the attached NY Times article.

Leaded glass above the entrance to the Morris Central School. I didn't realize I had also captured a reflection of the flag on the pole out in front of the school. 2017-February-10
