Dear Joyce ~
Barnes cousin Rachel Williams has sent me a number of old photos of
Barnes', church groups and assorted buildings/landscapes for Middlebury/Hammond,
Tioga County, PA.

Note from Joyce: These photos are extremely valuable because
so much of this area is now under water from the Hammond Dam Project in
the 1970s. See More Middlebury Photos from

Eleazer Edward Barnes and three of his children are standing in the
grass to the far right. I want to look at some other photos before
I try to guess which of the children are pictured here - and what year
this may have been. However, I think it's likely to be around 1915. |

Greetings Joyce:
So wonderful to discover your great site! My mother (NORMA J.
HARDY -nee McLEAN) was born in Hammond, Pa in 1917. She was the daughter
of (IDA McLEAN -nee STEVENS) b. 1892 and (FRANK LOSEY) b.1893. The McLEAN/STEVENS
families lived in the Hammond (valley 'neath Old Bald Hill) for many years.
Most of them are buried in the relocated Middlebury 3 cemetery. I
still recall visiting the Baptist Church in Hammond, the old cheese factory
nearby, bringing flowers with Gramdma to the graves of her sister, parents
and husband across the road up the hill and crossing the iron bridge into
the village to see the McLEAN homestead as a child. I was luckly enough
to have met and heard conversations and tales between Grandma and her cousins
JOHN and EZRA STEVENS on many occasions during the early 1960's.
How deeply their hearts ached at the prospect of their beloved valley being
leveled and flooded by the Army Corp of Engineers...
Would you be interested in adding some Hammond photos to your site?
I have more than a few, most taken around 1905 - 1920 era in various settings
- school, church, picnics, ect. Some include names of individuals. Most
being the McLEAN / STEVENS clans with friends. I would be willing to send
you the originals by snail-mail. Please let me know. Allow me to again
say that your efforts are fantastic! Without a doubt many folks must
think it a treasure. Take care and keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Randy Hardy
