Thanks also for your support. If there are any former Trenton "Goose Town" residents who visit this site, Tom would like to hear from you.TOM: ABOVE IS A PHOTO OF A GENTLEMAN STANDING ON A BRIDGE AT REED'S MILL ON QUAKER BRIDGE ROAD. MAYBE THIS IS PHOTO IS NAMED FOR YOUR FAMILY. I AM ALSO INCLUDING A PHOTO OF THE DAM BREAK AT REED'S MILL. I THOUGHT THAT THESE REEDS MAY BE RELATIVES.

Tom,
I'm sending a picture of a family reunion at Grand pop James Reed's farm in Hamilton, taken in the early 1930's. That's me on Mom's lap in the left front. The tall man in the white shirt in the back row is Uncle "Cap" Dempster whom the Mercer County Fire School/Museum is named for. Beyond the fence is a cemetery. In my trips to Trenton, I've stopped many times at the Hamilton Tax office to try to look up the location of the property, but everyone was always very busy. G'pop sold it in the later 1930's and it may be part of one of the cemeteries now.
