Hill's Store

By -
This post card was the center of some discussion at our last meeting - Hill's Store was located at the end of Morgan Creek Rd. Circa 1910 and was destroyed by fire.

If anyone has information on this store or the other businesses located in this vicinity let us know.

    My grandmother, Grace (Riffle) Kennedy, gave me this postcard, which I still have, in the late 40s.

    She told me that the man in the photo was her husband, my grandfather, Judd Beckwith Kennedy.

    Grace Riffle Kennedy lived in Lindley all her life (1882-1961) and my parents, Judson and Evelyn Kennedy, lived in Lindley (River Road) from 1946 until
    the early 60s.

    Best Wishes

As the Town Historian, I am always curious about the families of our earliest settlers. As a result,I sometimes uncover little known facts about these people and their descendants. Such is the case of General John E.Mulford who was the grandson of Dr. Ezekiel and his wife Nancy (Lindsley) Mulford and the Gt.Grandson of Colonel Eleazer Lindsley (founder of Lindley.) Recently,the Leader had a small advertisement stating that the home of General Mulford was for sale in the Watkins area. A call to the real estate agent-(Ed Atwell)resulted in his sending photos of the house and the question-"did I know anyone who might be interested in buying the home." My question was "Who was General Mulford?" A little genealogical research and googling revealed an interesting story. According to Uri Mulford-(another descendant)who wrote a Mulford genealogy "Colonial Ancestors and Descendants" ," General Mulford was the son of Castilla (commonly known as the Major) and S...
