Barn Raising Photo Sparks Family History Search
NEW MARKET residents David and Nancy Thompson discovered an old barn raising photo from 1908 among Cora Edith Lease’s auctioned belongings. The photo shows neighbors at a 40 by 90 foot barn on Md. 144 near New Market, built in a day by Jesse Burall’s neighbors. The Thompsons hope to identify the people, including a possible great grandfather, while lamenting the lack of names on the back.
