Excerpt from Life on the Border: Sixty Years Ago The log houses, everywhere visible in my boyhood, had disappeared and had been replaced with subatan tial wooden. Brick or stone structures, the small farms had mostly been absorbed in large ones, the old em ployments of wood chopping and rail Splitting had given way to the care of stock and cultivation of hay, and an air of thrift and comfort had super seded the former very narrow and straitened circum stances of the people. In fact an entirely new class ofin habitants - uot all to the manor born - dwelt where the former pioneers prepared the way and only two or three of the old settlers remained as mementoes of sixty years ago.
