Description

A scene along what is now called Fordyce Hill Road in Fordyce, Greene Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. The bridge crosses the water of Frosty Run. The building on the right was the original structure used by the Pleasant Valley Methodist Church (now the Fordyce United Methodist Church). The parsonage was located directly behind it. At the top of the hill, beyond the church, is the home of George Elms [1829-1890], the roof of his blacksmith shop may can be seen near the home. See item # STEC0003 for a close-up of the house. All the land to the left is part of the Morris Bicentennial Farm. Original, no photographer listed.

Elizabeth added her Davis family heritage to the collection, before passing it to her son, Jonathan Rex Morris [1919-2003], and his wife, Sarah Elaine (Hostetler) Morris [1924-2009], whose children, John Robert Morris and Kathleen (Morris) Miller, owned and shared the collection with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2023.
