Jellett recounts a story he learned from Fell about Sand's "abuse" by one of his sons. Fell was called for assistance, and found Sands shaking from his illness and berated by his son demanding money. This apparently was a common occurrence. Fell also mentioned Thorpe and Bishoff's mills. Fell also related obtaining the corner stone when Rittenhouse mills was demolished and placing the stone under his guard box; however, the guard box was moved to another location and the corner stone was never located again. Fell also related that the "little house with blue shutters" at Ridge Road and Kitchen's Lane was the birthplace of Mayor Cunrad.Collection
