Thanks for the info. I will investigate those mills.
My father and mother are from Davidsville. I am somehow related to Hostetlers on my mother’s side. She was a Saylor.
I lived in Holsopple back in the early 80’s. Then I moved off to the big city. Returned to live in Meyersdale in 07. We had a fire that destroyed the house last Dec. We’re living in Somerset while we rebuild. Hope to be back to Meyersdale by Christmas. BTW after 40 years of promises, they are finally extending the 219 four-lane from Somerset to Meyersdale.
Now that you mention it, I kind of remember radio ads for Boswell lumber years ago. I know there was an 84 Lumber right off 219 in Jerome way back. Maybe it’s still there. Lots of places closing around here these days.

How is the construction on 219? I travel that way when I visit my FIL who lives up toward Ebensburg. Come up I77 then jump on 19 in Beckley then up to I79 until I hit I68 and over to 219 and on up to Ebensburg.
I envy you. No better place to live than the Laurel Highlands of Pa.
Any relation of Saylor that ran Saylor hardware in Geistown years ago?
Almost all of my relatives came from Davidsville. Are you familar with the Assisted Care Retirement home in Davidsville? My relatives owned most of that land for farming at one time.
Nice talking to a fellow ridge runner!:D
