THE BACK MOUNTAIN was
saddened by the untimely death of
one of its young men, Tomas Edison
Culver, better known to his close
friends as ‘Eddie’ who lost his life
in an industrial accident while on
the job.
Words cannot express the love
and hurt that is being felt by all
those who were connected with this
young man. His family, his friends,
his colleagues at work, and yes,
even those who never knew him, are
somehow feeling pain and hurt for
those who did know him.
To all his loved ones, we send our
deepest sympathy and love.

Larry Brace laughs when his
family calls him a workaholic.
“They say I put in too much
time,” he grins. “But I don’t look at
it that way. I don’t have a set
number of hours to work, but I
know what needs to be done and I
just do it.”
Indeed, he does know. Brace, who
owns Brace’s Orchard in Orange, is
the latest generation to work the
farm since it was founded in 1828 by
his great-great-great grandfather
Daniel Bodle.
“Things have changed since those
early days,” Brace recalls. ‘Back
then, farms were more self-sustain-
ing than they are now. Today,
everything is specialized.

“When this farm started, there
used to be a little bit of everything.
You would use some cows and sell
some. You would use some pigs and
sell some. It was the same thing

Brace says his father, Harold,
didn’t care much for dairy animals
and that there hasn’t been any cows
on the farm since the early 1900’s.
His grandfather and father began
planting more trees, which have
always existed, and now 60 to 70 per

of various kinds of fruit trees.
“Anything that can be grown in
this part of the state, we have,” he
says.
Brace, 54, says he got into farm-
ing after he graduated from high
school in 1949. And, although he has
had his share of hard times, he
doesn’t see them as any different
from another persons.
