Welcome to my personal web site!
Years ago, my great-grandparents came to Dreher Township, Wayne County in Northeast Pa, and started growing roots. Trees were cut and stumps removed to make way for a house, barn and out-buildings. Fields were planted in corn and wheat where once only trees grew. Grass seed was planted for the hay that their cows and indispensable horses would feed on during the cold and long winters. Their start here was anything but easy, neighbors were often miles away from their home and if you needed medical help, it might be a half day or more ride in a horse-drawn wagon. You must remember that there was nothing here but trees and rocks. Despite all of these obstacles, they were here to stay. I am proud to say that I am a part of the place they called home. I will relate to you a little later how the name Tower Hill Farm came about.
