Tom Pfeiffer, Amanda Ziegler, Sara Ziegler and Todd Stanley were down near the Tracy Road. This is a path where deer cross the road and they found the remains of one that didn't make it

When I saw the cellar hole near Siller Road, I decided I would check out my old Maps and sure enough there was a house there.  In 1857, William Maxfield lived there.  He was the father of Sam Maxfield, who built the house and lived on the farm where my Dad's farm was.  In 1871, a J. Robinson owned it.  I will have to check with Don Flemming and see if he has ever been up around there with his metal detector - He might find some interesting things there.
