The leaves are almost all off of
the trees in our meadow and now I
can see the Conestoga River
again. Lately I’ve spent some time
close to the river as I went fishing
two evenings. After picking up
com in the fields and husking it, I
had found some big earth worms.
So, I found a quiet place and
fished for an hour and caught 11
fish by using only two worms.
Allen skinned the catfish for me
but I scaled the others. The next
time that I went only five fish got
caught, but they made a nice meal.
Recently, I’ve gotten several
calls asking if I have old pictures
of landmarks in my area. It seems
that people are interested in times

with then.
My mother was raised in the
village of Oregon and she had a
camera which she used to record
many buildings. Some of these
like an old rifle factory nearby,
where the so-called Kentucky rifle
was made, have disappeared long
ago. A mill that my great, great
grandfather owned has been con
verted to offices.
At one time Oregon was called
“Catfish” as there were many of
these fish in the Lititz Creek. The
village had cigar factories, a dry
goods store, a hotel, a shoe
maker, blacksmith shops, two
butcher shops, an undertaker, and
