Pioneer Spirit Lives On In Thurmont Mountaintop life of Alice Willard
Alice E. Willard 76 drives her tractor farms and cuts firewood in the Catoctin Mountains near Camp David. She canned fruits and vegetables hoards in a root cellar and quilts and sews indoors in a one room school area community. She tended Foxville fire tower from 1928 to 1934 and recalls huckleberries as a past cash crop. She prefers the mountain life and rarely comes down to town.
