This post is published in conjunction with a recent article on Bowne Station, because in that article Mr. Bush recalled the Bosenbury family, and the trouble they had burying old Cornelius Bosenbury. In this article, Mr. Bush went looking for that cemetery.
Sandy Ridge
Sandy Ridge in Delaware Township is not a village because it lacks the infrastructure of a village. Its core is a church and a graveyard, but there is nothing else — no store, no post office, no cluster of houses. And yet, it is still a recognizable place, a neighborhood.
Query Answered
The Van Dolah Farm
Recently I asked if anyone recognized this photo. It didn’t take long for readers to answer the question, as you can see from the comments below.
The Van Dolah School
Of all the one-room schools in Delaware Township, none seems to have inspired more devoted attachment than the Van Dolah School. The number of graduates was large, and many of them were highly accomplished in later life. It was probably one of the best photographed schools in the county. I have included many of them here.
