Century Old Pottery Oven Found Beneath Clearfield Stump
Old paper reports a July 13 1940 discovery under a chestnut stump near Humphrey's Flat opposite Thomas Humphrey’s homestead along the West Branch. The 7 foot deep stone oven, linked to Nicholas Straw and son Christian, who settled in 1803 from Penn's Valley, yielded crockery remains and indicated a pottery operation later run until Nicholas Straw’s death in 1863. The site sits near an Indian mill and near Humphrey’s Flats, with Grange history and local settler details noted from 1882 era records.
