Likewise a sugar maple on whose drooping branches as children they used to swing was missing, and so noted by the visitors, but the bouse, the barn, the spring and many other features of the old borne were not much changed in the twenty-nine years that bad Thursday was spent here in Reynolds ville, resting and meeting friends.
